A Ginger Snap! S’More Halloween!

Blog friends I have the cutest halowwen treat bag to share with you today.  I saw the idea on Pinterest and knew immediately that I had to make some.

Smore front

Aren't they the cutest!  Honestly, I think it took me much more time to find some Ghost peeps then it did to make the S'More Treat Bags.  I think my local grocer was getting tired of me asking if they had gotten any ghost peeps in yet.  My husband suggested that I check one of the Box Store in town.  What a smart man!  Just picture me in the middle of the "Halloween" aisle at this store doing a happy dance when I found the Ghost Peeps!

Here's what the back of the treat bag looks like.  I wanted to include directions for making the smore so I printed them on a label.

Smore back

My Witches' Brew paper pack had very little left in it but all I needed for this project was small pieces. Both a piece of this dsp and a piece of Basic Black cardstock were cut with the Labels Collection Framelit.   I used the 3rd & 4th largest framelits.

The tags were stamped with images from the Halloween Hello stamp set.  The banner tag was cut with the Hearts a Flutter Framelit.  A black Glimmer Brad was added to ramp up the bling for Halloween.

 The witch & the bat were punched with the Large Oval Punch.  They were the layered on a Scalloped Oval punched from Basic Black cardstock.  The treat bag is one of our 4" x 6" Cellophane Bags.  I used snail to close the bag & then snugly secured the bag topper.

I think the Grandchildren & neighbor kids will like their S'More Treat Bags!  Do you think I should make my husband a treat bag?  He kinda deserves it doesn't he!

A Ginger Snap! PPA Sketch Challenge!

Hi Friends!  Today I am sharing a card made for the PPA 177 Sketch Challenge.  The sketch was created by the talented Nicole Watt.

Card

While creating my card, I switched gears in the middle.  After completing this card, and posting it for the challenge, I returned to the original version and completed it.  Now, I am not sure which card I like best.

So, I am asking you, my blog readers, to please leave me a comment telling me your pick.  Shiny cards are difficult to photograph – lots of shadows.  

Silver foil rt

See what I mean about the shadows.  Guess I needed more light.  Maybe it would help if you could see the cards side-by-side.

Both cards

As you can see, the cards are very similar.  The main difference is the Silver Glimmer paper vs the embossed Silver Foil Paper.  And, if you look closely, you will see different bows on the cards.  Honestly, the card on the right is better than it looks in this picture.  The shadows are so distracting.
