2015 Halloween Treats for the co-workers

Hello and Happy Halloween!

Today's post will have a lot of pictures and hopefully not too much writing.  ((yay))  I know those are the best posts right?! ((lol))  I made some treat bags for my co-workers but this year instead of candy I put in some healthier treats.  I know it's not the same but I know there's going to be tons of bad candy being passed around so something healthy will balance that out.  Here's what I made for 2015 featuring the adorable images from The Greeting Farm & Sister Stamps.  Here are the ones I used Hallo Heroine & Hallo Hero.

I've had those paper treat bags from Jilly Beans since last year and found them the other day.  They were plain so to dress them up I used a large polka dot stamp with Distress inks rusty hinge & black soot on both sides.  Here are some close-ups:

Each image is colored with Copics.  Giving them different colors was a lot of fun.  They all look like their own special super hero.  The stitched doily is from My Creative Time, and the stitched circle, rolled rose & stitched banner are from MFT.  I hand-wrote the HAPPY Halloween and (wet) embossed the HAPPY.  Here's the back of the bags:

I punched out some tickets used a Versa mark pen to write Trick of Treat?! and (wet) embossed them in white and black.  The white ones I went over with a Copic marker to make them orange.  Now here are some ghoulish looking animals from Sister Stamps...

Here is the same concept but slightly different.  I used the sweet Buster from Sister Stamps with a slight twist of color.  Giving him a red tongue and red eyes gives him a little bit of a spooky persona, but he's still too cute to spook.

Here's the last one, this is Dixie also from Sister Stamps, she's looking like she ate a radio-active carrot.  ((hahaha))  She looks like she's glowing with that black background and red eyes.  Truly spooky, but not...  ((hahaha))  The doily, radial stitched circle & banner are from MFT and the tag is from Mama Elephant.  I hand-wrote the Too cute 2 spook and Happy Halloween on the tag and banner.  I forgot to take a picture of the back, but I wrote Trick or Treat straight on to the bag.  The last picture I wanted to share is of my team and I at work.  We decided to be bank robbers this year.   We're missing a few people but so happy there were some of us who dressed up.  

Have a safe and fun Halloween!  And oh yeah, a super awesome weekend!!  Thanks for stopping by!

LFF #88 - An early Mother's Day

Happy Aloha Friday!!

Today for LFF #88 I made these cute little tags for my co-workers:

These were super easy to make and a lot of fun to give away.  Especially to those that have never received anything from me before.  I made enough for the ladies that were actually in the office today, the rest will receive theirs on Monday.  [They are all in Hawaii at a "conference", so they can wait. hahaha!]  Here is a close-up of one of the tags:

I love coming up with small little tags like these for the co-workers.  First I cut a bunch of the rolled roses with my awesome MFT die using some older K&Company double sided paper.

Love the effect the double sided paper gives.   I cut up 3 or 4 different sheets of paper and it only took about 10 minutes to roll all of them up.  The rest was done in no time.  Glad I had that leaf stamp, which I purchased from crafty friend, Eva, (Hi Eva!).  It was big enough for the tag and adding the single rose was perfect.  I found that ribbon in my stash and loved how the colors matched the flowers.  I only cut a small strip, glued it down and then used a stapler to give it a little metal touch.

I finished these up during lunch and was able to hand them out before everyone left for the day.  They were all smiles and happy.  Which made me happy.  Glad I could add a smile to their day.  I love this tag, think I'll make more for other occasions.  If you're interested in seeing what other stamps and dies Eva is selling hop on over to her blog and check it out.  Happy Aloha Friday friends, wishing all the Mom's an early Happy Day!!  Mahalo for stopping by!
