Now that it's officially October, it's time to start sharing some Halloween goodness. I love that the Pick of The Patch stamp set includes a jack-o-latern face. So cute! I paired this with the Them Bones pattern paper. There are some great choices in the pack of paper between the gravestones and skeletons. One of my favorites is this batty houndstooth pattern. It's subtle but once you see the bats you can't unsee them. I'll have a few … [Read more...] about Boo!

Magnet Stand – Halloween
On Monday, I shared the Autumn Magnet Stand. Today I have the Halloween version. So cute! Mr. Bones is hanging out near his crypt and is joined by his glow-in-the-dark friends, Mr. Ghost and Mr. Bat. Yes, the embellishments really do glow-in-the-dark, and Mr. Bones glows in the dark too! The Mr. Bones kit is $15 and if you need the magnet stand, it's an additional $5. I'm hoping to keep the magnet stand kits in the $12-15 range. Just like … [Read more...] about Magnet Stand – Halloween
Happy Halloween
In the US, today is the day we dress our kids up in costumes and send them out into the world to knock on strangers doors and ask for candy. Don't worry, we tell them not to talk to strangers or take candy from strangers the other 364 days of the year. I know I said I was sharing the Christmas Scottie set this week, and I am. But, I'm starting with a Halloween Scottie since today is the day. Okay, the witch hat is a bit big for the … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween
October Sampler-Happy Haunting
Fresh off the presses, my October Sampler is now ready! I've been making an effort to not duplicate Holidays in my Samplers. And since I did a "Boo" Sampler two years ago, I was shying away from another Halloween Sampler. But I was struck with inspiration when I found the most adorable tiny spooky house die with matching tiny ghosts to go with it. The house is so cute! I love the spooky woods frame too. And it's a little hard to see in … [Read more...] about October Sampler-Happy Haunting
Bewitching Box
If you're like me, you might have taken advantage of one of the Sale-abration items last month, the Kraft Gift Boxes. These boxes were one of the items you could get free with a purchase. Today I used the box to make a Halloween treat. This box is a great size to tuck a nice treat in, like a cookie or a brownie, or small gift. The window in the box gives a nice peak at whatever may be inside. Don't forget to get out those items you … [Read more...] about Bewitching Box
Matchbook Treat
If you're looking for a quick treat holder that you can make lots of in a short amount of time, this is it. The Matchbook treat! This treat looks like an old fashioned matchbook. This is what the matchbook looks like open. You can see the candy is stapled inside. This keeps it from falling out of the matchbook. The dimensions for the black card stock is 2.75 x 7.75". I used an 8.5 x 11" sheet of card stock and cut the 8.5" side down to … [Read more...] about Matchbook Treat
Once Last Spook
Halloween is this weekend so here's one final Halloween card for the year. This card uses the Cute Halloween Suite. I just love the adorable images in the pattern paper. For today's card, all the images are cut out from the paper. I think the smiling skeleton is my favorite. The frame around the outside of the card is from the die set Picture This. The die set has two background dies, one with these rectangles and one with circles. … [Read more...] about Once Last Spook
Boo!
Somehow I managed to stock up on our mini jam jars so I really need to get creative with some different uses for them. The jars are 2" tall by 2.5" wide so whatever I was going to make needed to be tiny. A few months ago, I jumped on the tiered tray bandwagon. This is basically a tray that has multiple layers, usually two or sometimes three, and you decorate them with little seasonal items. Usually the decor is crafty-type handmade items. … [Read more...] about Boo!
