Good morning! Another week down, another weekend in front of us. So do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? I’m thinking laundry, more laundry and then some studio time. I need to catch up on some overdue projects.
Earlier this week Graphic 45 posted a Halloween treat box that I made on their blog. In case you missed it, I’m reposting today here on the BAD Side!
Inside:

and a video to show you how to make the box:
That’s all for me today. I’m heading the studio to work on those projects. Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures of the day!

Good Tuesday morning! Okay I’m a little surprised that it’s October already! Before I know it, it will be Christmas and then it will be February . . . CRUISE TIME! Have I told you . . . my family is going on a cruise? NO? Well my mother, and all us adult children (less 
) will all be going. Do I think I’m going to have a good time because Mr. Stodgy isn’t going . . . . DUH! Of course I will and probably a better time at that!
I have to tell you . . . I LOVE this time of year (not for the weather though). I love it for the decorations! 
I don’t decorate as much as when my girls were little, but I do decorate. I’m one of those that must have something unusual tucked in all corners; so when you walk through my house, there is always something to see or surprise you.
Yesterday I got up in the garage attic and brought down all the Halloween/Fall decorations. It’s a mixture of pumpkins, leaves, witches, etc., that I will leave up until it’s time to decorate for Christmas. When 
is over I remove all the 
stuff and I’m still left with quite a bit.
Anyway, the point of all this babble is that I made a new decoration yesterday. It didn’t take but a few hours and I’ll tuck it way with some other stuff I have in mind to make. Both girls have asked me for decorations that I’m not going to use, so if I make something new . . . that leaves something else for them.
This started out as a plain wood coffin from Michaels. You know the ones . . . that cost a $1 and can be anything you want them to be!
The new Quietfire Wicked Halloween Stamp Set was perfect for this project. (It’s also the one that I will use for the other projects I have in mind.) The set has these perfect little labels that can be used on bottles . . .
So the first thing I did was remove all the hardware (latches and hinges) and then painted the coffin black with Claudine Hellmuth Charcoal Black Acrylic Paints both inside and out. For the front of the coffin, I stamped a little bat from the stamp set, colored it with Copic Markers, punched it out in a circle, and covered the entire thing with Glossy Accents.
One side was perfect for a skeleton (the hand broke off in the process . . . you’ll find it by the feet). The other side could hold some small bottles and a sign or two.
The labels on the bottles really are part of the poem in this set of stamps, but I cut them all apart thinking they would make perfect labels. The tag that the labels and sign are stamped on (with Ranger Archival Jet Black) was made using the Wrinkle-Free Distress Technique with the new Seasonal Distress Inks.
The project itself is not real fancy or complicated, just one that can be finished quickly and have fun in the process! Oh and by the way, I drew the lines around the labels with some new black pens I picked up recently, American Crafts Precision Pens.
Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures of your day!

For my project today I ended up doing a mini Halloween hanging. My intention was to work with the Labels Seven Nestaboards and show how simple it would be to make a pyramid/3D image with the Nestaboards (no more pop up dots). However, much to my dismay . . . in my Want2Scrap stash, I didn’t have Labels Seven but I did have Labels Twenty. This caused me to change my mind because I couldn’t find an image that would fit and that I wanted to work with. This also resulted in me making a Halloween project instead of something else . . . . But it does look cute hanging in my sitting room.
I used the largest of the Nestaboards and covered it with orange paper from Fancy Pants Oct 31. The swirl flourishes under the flowers and sentiment, were white pearl Finesse Swirls from Want2Scrap. I didn’t have black in this swirl, so I decided to color them with Black Alcohol Ink. I then cut the swirl in half (since it’s long) and placed them from the left going to the right side.
The flowers were die cut from a different sheet of designer paper from the Oct 31 pad with LF-005 Grand Peony Creations. The leafs were die cut from GrungePaper with S4-328 Foliage and then panted Crush Olive. All the sponging on this project was done with one of the new Ranger Seasonal Distress Inks, Gathered Twigs. The back of the flowers were sponged with Seedless Preserves.
The sentiment was a small section of another sheet of the Oct 31 paper that I trimmed out. It just happened to come very close to matching Labels Four, so I die cut and piece of printers chipboard and another section of paper from the Oct 31 pad. I used that layer as a packing for the sentiment.
I did place a small piece of waxed twine at the top to use as a hanger.
I’ll be keeping this piece and store it along with all my other Halloween decorations.
That’s it for me today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!
