October, the second favorite month of children in the USA! Costumes and candy and going door to door collecting all of it for free!
My craft room has finally given way to orange and black and a few fun decorations for the grandkids to enjoy while they count down the days to Halloween.
The paper I used for these tags is a mix of what I had and a Tim Holtz holiday paper pad. The colors are muted and antiquey and I had fun mixing my bright rick rack and garnishes found at various flea markets with lots of great embellishments sent from blogging friends.
E for EAT and welcome to my world, if there is a TREAT in sight, I will EAT the treat! My will power is absolutely pathetic, I chalk it up to the fact that I had never been on a diet until I was going to my 25 year class reunion. Thin people have never cultivated the need to actually stick to a diet because we never gained weight!
This was my favorite tag to put together, all of the elements came from blogging friends!
It was fun to use this paper and try to position the words to fit my graphics. Do you see the Mary Englebreit girl on the bottom with the mouse?! I put two different graphics together! Love it!
Thanks to all of you who included paper goodies along with your Friendship tags or your Hometown tags! I have so many fun garnishes to use I have to constantly rifle through them because I don't remember all of what I have!
I'm completely smitten with your Halloween garland. Darling embellishments. Halloween hugs!

I like orange and black so much better when it looks antiquey and muted. I have lived in my house for 20+ years and have NEVER had a trick or treater. Yet every year I buy a bag of Snickers (just in case). I love Snickers.
ReplyDeleteLove your Halloween Banner!! Your grands will have fun visiting Grandmas house!!!
