HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

BOO!! And a Happy Halloween to all of you! I love Halloween, so much fun! Last night I was up late working on the treats for Perrin and Owen to take to their classes today. I was surprised at the stamp they picked for me to use. When I do treats for their classes, I let them pick what stamps I use for the project, this is something Perrin really enjoys and puts a lot of thought into his decision! *giggles* I figured Owen would love Hallween Fluffles since he’s such a kitty fan, but I was surprised that Perrin picked it as well!

The treat toppers base is Basic Black, scored and folded in half with a strip of glossy paper that I brayered with my Cappuccino Delight Kaleidacolor spectrum pad! (Jami!! I used a spectrum pad!!) I think I’m quickly becomming addicted to spectrum pads! They are SOOO cool! I then let the boys stamp the bats from the Stampin’ Up! set Halloween Backgrounds and the greeting from the Michaels dollar stamps.

I stamped Fluffles in Basic Black on Whisper White and used my Marvy Mega Circle Punch to get the circle. I then used my SU! markers to color him in, except for the that. I used my Basic Black Watercolor Wonder Crayon and Aquapainter for that part. I went over the swirl with my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust pen to give it some sparkle! Don really thought that was cool and noticed it right away. Go figure! I then used my Marvy Giga Scalloped Circle Punch for the layer and adhered Fluffles to the scalloped mats. I used Dimensionals to adhere the completed focal image to the topper.

The toppers are held on with eyelets. Let me tell you! I would NEVER have used eyelets for this if I did not have my Crop-A-Dile! HOLY COW! I love this thing so much! It has me using eyelets again, and I love it! My arm wasn’t tired from pounding them all in and nobody could hear me setting the eyelets! That tool is GENIOUS, I tell you!! Michaels + 40% off coupon + Crop-A-Dile = HAPPINESS!

The goodie bags are slightly different for each class. Perrin’s included a Halloween airplane, bubbles, skull eraser, and the SpongeBob Halloween fruit snacks. Owen’s included two mini Halloween Play Doughs, Halloween airplane, bubbles, and SpongeBob Halloween fruit snacks. When I showed Don the completed projects, the first thing he said was “Biggest Kitty to the rescue!” I about died! I didn’t realize I was coloring Fluffles like Biggest Kitty!
