A haunting we will go.......A haunting we will go.......

Oh I do love this time of year!!! I know the evenings are drawing in and we have lots of cold dark days! But I love curling up on the sofa on a wet Sunday afternoon in a lovely warm lounge, having a cuddle with a few cocker spaniels watching an old black and white "talkie" on the telly. I also adore Halloween!!!!! Not that I answer the door to the grunting Teenagers in our area, I'm afraid we always try and go out on the 31st and turn all the lights out (that way the dogs don't get bothered by all the door banging). But I do love making Halloween things, I had a fair few Halloween papers left over from last year (and have ordered more from MME this year) so I thought I would make some treat bags for friends and their children.
I watched a few different tutorials on YouTube and mixed a couple of them together to make my own treat bags. they have a little plastic card bag inside (trimmed to fit) which I have filled with a handful of mixed sweeties. This can be seen through the punched hole.
I ordered a new SU stamp set last month and it arrived last weekend I have been waiting to have a play with it and this was the perfect project. I love the little owl and toad they both fit inside the journal spot just right. I painted each image with SU inks, cut them out and layered them onto a scalloped punch out. I used this topper to cover the staple I have used to hold each box lid closed.
Don't you just love this little witch!!!!! I think she is great all warty and fun!
