Have a bootiful day


Have a bootiful day my friends! I'm fascinated by all things Halloween...we don't celebrate it in Singapore (read: no holiday!) and Halloween merchandise is generally hard to find..;( I love the dark eerie scary aspect of Halloween (appeals to my morbid side) and of course the treats...




So this is what I'm sharing with you today...a little signage I made...I used the web mask from Tim Holtz, then handstiched (yes, it took a long time)...the little felt pieces were from my local $2 store...I added stickles for some sparkle....







And some ideas for treats...Milk cartons painted black, a little bow, some monsters from Sassafras (added a little crackle paint in rock candy for some cool dimension), crepe paper and candy!

Hope you enjoy my little Halloween projects...continue with your Halloween blog party hop over at A Fanciful Twist...and have bootiful day!

* Edited* These cartons were featured on the Sassafras blog! :)

    Now this is my kind of Halloween, decorated with a bit of cuteness. I love your party decorations and those trick or treats look wonderful too.
