BOO.....Happy Halloween!

Well, I finally got my computer back from the shop this week, but I lost everything! I have an external hard drive, but I couldn't see any of my old stuff, so I am really worried!! Hope my husband is able to find out what's going on with all of this....

Anyway just a quick post.....wanted to share what I designed for my friend at work to make for Halloween (see, I wasn't totally slacking!! LOL). Her sister is a teacher and is always looking for cute treat holders.

Here is Fancy Favor Frankie:


I think he turned out pretty cute even though we were going for scary! But that's not a bad thing since these were for elementary school kids, right? And you're probably wondering if we actually poked the push pins through the side of the favor, and the answer is "no". I asked Michele to ask her husband to cut off the metal part and then sand them down. The push pins could then be adhered with mini glue dots to the bag!

Supplies used (all SU!, unless otherwise specified):
Ink: Garden Green
Paper: Ruby Red CS, Whisper White CS, Raven CS (Bazzill), Green CS (unknown)
Other: Fancy Favor XL die; Black gel ink pen (unknown); mini glue dots, 1" circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, 1/4" circle punch, push pins (unknown)

Frankie's hair was done by cutting some strips of black cardstock and laying them across the top of the Fancy Favor die. Then I turned it upside down and adhered it to the top of the green Fancy Favor bag. (Note: I put his hair as high up on the box as I could so that he wouldn't look short and fat) This way I wouldn't have to cut fringe for his hair.

Anyway, hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween! Thanks for dropping by....
