I know it's weird right now on the bloggy blog... One day it's Christmas, the next day it's Halloween! LOLZ. That's just how it's going right now. I love all the holidays that happen between October and December, so I don't mind. It does get a little confusion though!!
I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog today! BOO! It's Spooky Season...and of course Candy! Trick or Treat! One of my favorite crafting things to make this time of year is candy treats! It's fun to have Halloween - even as a grown up! I like to make little treats for my friends and co-workers. The new Happy Haunting Collection is so bright and colorful and playful. Pumpkins, ghosts and kitty cats! I knew I couldn't resist using the collection to decorate some treat boxes. I like to pop in lime green with orange and black for fun color contrast. Anything can be a candy container if you dream it up!!
Here is my trio of treats for today! Two candy boxes made from one of my favorite dies from Lawn Fawn - and black paper, and one clear box I bought at the craft store. They are filled with yummy pumpkin candies and made with lots of whimsy and love.
I used patterned papers from the Happy Haunting 12x12 paper pack.... And elements from the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends too. I used some Sprinkles on tiny clothespins to decorate the tops and the closures. The die is a treat box assembled in two pieces. It's my go-to and you've probably seen it here many times before. (Supplies are linked at the bottom of my post).
For this one I wrapped the clear box with papers and put on that big awesome sticker from the 12x12 Sticker Sheet. Some cute purple bats to finish it off. Oh, and always some twine! That black and white twine reminds me of old fashioned candy stripes.
I die cut an oval in the front of this treat box and glued a piece of acetate to the inside to make a window - to see the treats! You could use a circle or even a star for this part!
I definitely want candy!!!!
I never thought I would say this - but that's one cute spider!
Thanks for having some playful fun with me today! Doodlebug is always fun and playful! I'll have another Doodlebug Halloween project in two weeks. I have a fun idea brewing in my crafty cauldron....we'll see how it works out. I hope your day is filled with all treats and no tricks! Until then, Happy Crafting! I will see you soon, my pretties!

I love the addition of those cute papers to the ready made box of goodies. My girls would love that. Doodlebug sure does the holidays right! Can't wait to see what's up for Christmas...
