Happy Halloween!

Hi!

Thanks for coming back to see if I was going to make it two days in a row!  Had to stick with it, so I am happy to share with you my Halloween Treats class.  This is such a fun holiday and it always surprises me how quickly it arrives each year, even though you'd think you'd waited almost 11 months for it to get here when you look at it on the calendar... but somehow it always shows up and I wish I had another week to get ready!

I absolutely love Fall (in general) & Halloween and typically I decorate mostly for Fall but do add specific Halloween things for Oct and then remove them & replace with a few things for Thanksgiving but this year, they are ALL still in the garage --- yikes, NOTHING is out and up yet, it looks so bare!  Guess I am going to have to clear a path in the garage to get to my bins! 

Anyhow, I digress... lots that didn't get done but now on with the show with what did get done!!  You can click on ANY photo to view it LARGER if you'd like!

A small sampling of different treat ideas using some of our wonderful Big Shot dies!  How did we stamp and survive without this awesome machine and a ton of our exclusive dies!  LOVE IT!  LOVE IT!  Do you have one yet??  Read on at the end, you can get one for FREE, seriously!!

This is the "spooky" bat box made with the milk carton die, penant die and several punches.  Monika Davis has a free tutorial that you can use to whip these cuties up!  Holds a nice amount of treats or a small gift!

And who can resist a cute lil' Frankie ... made with the Candy Wrapper die and several punches!  Inspired by Kristen Brown who shared several versions she made up!

    

One of my favorite things that they showed at convention was how to fold your paper to make an extended version of the candy wrapper die (used above in it's original size/shape).  Wallah, tah-dah, hellllooooooo --- how super cute is this!  Fits a full size candy bar!  This one actually has a little stamping with it too but super cute to decorate & even more fun to give away!  Click on the smaller picture for a closer view of the top side. 

And NEW this year are the small 1"x8" cello treat bags that have a seal already on them!  So easy for several small or tall skinny treats, pencils, etc!  Lots of fun ideas floating around out there to do with these, and 50 for $2.50!  Yeah!  This also uses one of the new Big Shot dies featured in the Holiday Mini catalog, Peekaboo Frames (has 5 different window frames) and the Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set!  Click on the smaller images to see the detail of the topper.

Happy Halloween!!!
