Haunted house Last one for the season.

This house was from the slums until Jackie dressed it up with a stamp and some glitter

Haunted house with the witches hat seen before.
With pumpkins made especially for this centerpiece

Coffin treats

Wow!!  These coffin treats are outstanding.  Jackie has added coloured paper to the black coffins with ribbon and tags

Now you can see the black sides of the coffins.  The tags are a stamp she embossed with glitter                                               

Candy Halloween treats

These are the treats Jackie made for the Kintore and Thamesford Beaver group

Tags for the cello tubes of candy.  Aren't they frightfully delicious?

                         

Pumpkin

Glitter Pumpkin great for Centerpiece.  Put a battery operated tea light inside it to make it glow with the glitter paper.

Witches hat in black, orange and purple

Witches Hat full view.  I love the flowers on this one.  Purple orange and orange with black dots. Jackie needs to show you how she made these flowers. Sign up for a workshop and you can make them yourself

Close up of the flowers on the hat and of course the funky witch standing by the Wicked Halloween sign

Witch Hat makes a nice hat for child or centerpiece for table.

A hat that Jackie made last week. It is big enough to fit a child. Just love the flowers on the hat.  A different idea than using a plain black witches hat. Put in center of your table for a Halloween gathering.

Add the hat with to haunted house. (The colour doesn't show up properly on the computer but they are both grey.)  Lets see what Jackie comes up with for a centerpiece with this two 3d paper crafts.  You can purchase the die cuts from us to make your own houses or hats.

We are only getting started with Haunting you!!!

Having fun with food colouring

A week ago Gavin and I made poison potions for Halloween.  We made potions in bottles adding food colouring. One we added coffee to because he wanted a brown one for you know what.  Now to make labels for the bottles.  We are making a disappearing potion for sisters.  Gavin loves his sister but he thought the idea was fun. You wouldn't believe how much fun children have playing with food colouring.  We have put it in milk and cereal.  It does come out what ever colour the food dye is so be prepared parents ore prepare parents that they might see a colour they aren't used to if changing a diaper.  Happen to one parent!!!
A last week the older girls made potions and were so excited about doing it.  They put different colours together to see what they came up with.  Labels for those bottles now.

Diecuts for the kids for Halloween

I spent most of yesterday cutting out Halloween card stock witches, rats, cobwebs, haunted house, grave stones, iron fences and lots of other things.  Hopefully some pictures to come.
