Have you been "Boo"ed yet?  Our neighborhood plays a fun game each year at Halloween where we sneakily leave treats on each others doorsteps to "boo" them.  They, in return, boo someone else until the whole neighborhood has gotten something sweet to eat.  We look forward to this exciting tradition each year.  You can find details here in case you'd like to get in on the fun!

These are some treats that I made for some special little friends in our neighborhood.  I covered a small composition notebook with Halloween paper, added ribbon, a pencil, and candy.  I hope they'll like them! 


Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Let me know if you have any questions.

These fun Halloween treats were quite a hit with my stamping club friends, and I bet they would be with your kids, too.  They are so easy to make with Stampin Up's new cellophane bags that measure 1x8 inches...just the right size to add a single row of candy, a licorice stick, a couple of pixie sticks, or two pencils...to name a few. 
For the tag, I used the Batty for You stamp set by Stampin Up, the 1 3/8 circle punch, and the scallop punch.  For the additional little sayings...Frankie's Fungus, Bat Boogers, Pumpkin Poop, Ghost Droppings, and Vampire Blood, these were typed up on my computer using the Kristen font, size 12.  They were punched out using the word window punch and then were added to the tag with a black brad.  I adhered the whole tag to the cellophane bag using tiny glue dots.  Matching ribbon was then added.  Cute, huh?

20 Skittles of the same color were placed in each bag.  A large bag of Skittles made 21 treats. 

I got the inspiration for these yummy treats from one of my favorite blogs-Kerry's Paper Crafts. 

Thanks for dropping by my blog.  If you have any questions or would like to place a Stampin Up order, just let me know.
