Cookie Cutter Halloween
A Sweet 2015 Sneak Peek
Here’s a preview of some fun in store for next year’s Halloween.
Keepsake artist Nina Aubé has created the first Cookie Cutter Halloween, a companion ornament to her popular Cookie Cutter Christmas series that began with a KOC event exclusive in 2011.
In Nina’s ornament, a mouse dressed as a witch makes her trick-or-treating rounds through a tiny neighborhood created within a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter.
“I love to create worlds that depict characters living in a big world” she says. I added sweet elements to the scene such as candy corn and cookies because I believe that’s part of the charm of the series.”
And the Halloween scene is a familiar one to the artist from her own youth. “Halloween is a favorite holiday of mine. I used to love dressing up and getting candy with my sisters while growing up in Chicago,” Nina says. “I still dress up for parties, but no more trick-or-treating for me. I pass out the candy rather than pick it up.”

.:*:. Spooktacular 2nd in series for 2014 .:*:.
Keepsake artist Anita Marra Rogers continues to mash up two of her favorite holidays with her 2nd in series Happy Halloween! ornament.
The character selected for this ornament should not surprise anyone. After all, who better to bring a hauntingly good time to your tree than a ghost!
‘Pete,’ the name Anita’s given to this iconic Halloween character, is an adaptation from “Ghost with Candy Corn” (QFM9014), a Merry Miniature she created in 1992.
Naturally, Anita thought, this ghost would be most at home in a haunted house, which is where you’ll find ‘Pete’ comfortably seated. Sepia tones, cobwebs and melting candles add to the eeriness of this haunted house.
This ornament will be ready to haunt homes everywhere in July 2014.
