This is a very fast and fun project! It took me longer to soak the label off the bottle than to create the project. The Halloween label was made in My Digital Studio – Pick Your Poison Embellishments (125614) – or you could use the Pick You Poison Quick Accents (124263). I used the actual Pick Your Poison DSP around the neck – but it’s also available in the digital download.
(I think I need to replace the spice drops with black jelly beans!) The bottle is a vinegar bottle – I love finding cool bottles! The medallion is a 3/4 x 11 piece of Basic Black scored at 1/4. The “all seeing eye” is the small oval and a 5/8″ circle with (another) “googlie” eye in the middle. 
So cute – so fast! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Pumpkin Magic
We did some decorating for Halloween over the weekend and I discovered an old porcelain pumpkin filled with some very sorry looking artificial flowers. The pumpkin was cute- the flowers were not. So I got out some (a lot!) Basic Black card stock and old Halloween DSP and refilled the pumpkin with spooky black flowers! 
The flowers are all on bamboo skewers that are painted black
Supplies
Big Shot Dies – Daisy #2, Leaves #2, Blossom Party, Island Floral
Punches – Fancy Flower, 1, 1/2 and 3/4 inch circles
card stock – Basic Black, assorted Halloween DSP
Etc – bamboo skewers, black paint, glue gun
So my little pumpkin has a new look! Do you like it? Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Halloween Wrap
Still working on a few more candy holders for a Halloween party. This one is the same idea as the one I showed here. It uses Batty for You on the front and the Holiday Mini It’s a Wrap Holidays to wrap the candies. 
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Batty for You, It’s a Wrap Holiday
card stock = Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Pick Your Poison DSP
Ink – Basic Black
Stampin Write Markers – Basic Black,Pumpkin Pie
Etc – Top Note die, googlie eyes

It’s a beautiful day here today. I hope to get outside to enjoy it – and hope you have a great day too! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Halloween Treat Box
Here’s another idea for using the bat clips (the bat punch is in the clearance rack!) for Halloween treats. I used Out on a Limb from the Holiday Mini and Pick Your Poison Designer Series paper to decorate some gable boxes and added the clips at the top. 
On some I did the spiders and on some I did the bats. The entire box is spritzed with Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black and the top piece has scalloped Basic Black in a “roof” sort of look. 
The flower is made with the Daisy #2 die – 
Then I added the clip –

Bat Clips
I am so excited to see the Bat Punch in the Clearance rack (instead of gone for good!) I’ve been making these little clips for a Halloween party – and if you hurry – you can too! The original idea was shown using die cuts and chip board but I just used the 7 punches in Basic Black card stock- stacked together with Tombow Multipurpose glue – with an embossed bat on the top. 
They are very sturdy when finished –
Stamp class this morning and evening – gotta run! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Silly, Spooky Box
I wanted to show you another sheet music project today – but the pot that I painted to hold it isn’t dry. And it’s really not dry! I wanted a Cherry Cobbler pot so I took one that had a coat of white paint on it and mixed some Cherry Cobbler with white paint – it was pink. So then I painted over it with white paint mixed with Bravo Burgundy reinker – now it’s purple. So then I painted over the entire thing with Real Red pigment ink. The color is beautiful, but I don’t think it’s going to dry……sigh. So here’s a fun little project I did for table favors for a Halloween party in works. This is the Blossom Box die done up for trick or treat!
The “eyes” are from Sweets for the Sweet. I’ve made them in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black. (I think he could be the Cookie Monster if you did him in Pacific Point!) The eyes are on a small, accordion folded piece of card stock that is slipped between the pleats – 
Isn’t he cute? Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Spooky Treats
Here are a few things we’re making at my Spooky Treats class tomorrow. The first is an extended candy wrapper made from the Candy Wrapper die. 
And a #2 box with a special bow- 
Aren’t those bats great? 
That’s my funky bow. It’s going to be a spooky time! Scrappin’ tonight – and I can’t wait! Love the time spent with my friends, ink and stamps! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Not Too Spooky
These little bottles were originally for wedding favors – I found them in a clearance aisle last year! I’ve used them for several things and now they will be Halloween party favors (if I have enough left!) They have flat sides – perfect for stamping! Since the table will have a black cloth, I’ve left the lids as they came – black and white. 
The faces are from Jack of All Trades, stamped in Stazon. The stem is two pony beads glued together with Crystal Effects. The leaves are from the two step Bird punch. And the “curlies” are simply strips of card stock rolled onto my piercing tool.
Supplies
Stamp set – Jack of All Trade
card stock – Old Olive
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Two step Bird punch, pony beads, small jar
Stampin with friends this morning – the best way to start a weekend! Enjoy – Hugs, Fran
Spooky Candy
We had fun stamping with some of the Holiday Mini stamps last night – and using some of the new products. Here is one of the make and takes using the 1 x 8 cello bags and the Holiday Mini hostess set Warmest Wishes
The design for the circle was cased from Mary Fish. She did a candy bar holder – cute! This one is “belly-banded” onto the cello bag – but I’ve found they do better when attached at the top. So last night we used the Curly Label punch to create a topper (stapled) and then attached the circle to that.
Supplies
Stamp set – Warmest of Wishes, Wicked Cool
card stock – Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – 2 1/2 and 1 circle punches, 1 x 8 cello bag, Owl punch
Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
