Happy Halloween!


Since today is the day we celebrate Halloween, I thought I'd share a few more of the treat containers I made for neighbors and friends and the guys who mow our lawn for us.

I made these mini milk cartons with assorted scraps of paper and cardstock, making each one a little different. They hold a few mini candy bars 

Here's a close up of one with bats....


 and here's one with my favorite color purple.

I used assorted stamps, dies, and designer paper along with some snippets of ribbon to create these and HERE is the tutorial I used to make them.

Sharing with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - anything goes





Today is the last day of daylight savings time for us, so even though the darkness will come early now, it will be nice to wake up to bright sunshine again - IF it ever stops raining that is LOL
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day. 
Happy Halloween!

I made some boxes like these for Christmas already since I love how sturdy they are! I bet all your neighbors and friends will love them! All of my Halloween boxes sold and that makes me happy!!

AW! These are a delight Carol. Love the colours and papers and images.
I still have boxes from last year to be filled IF we have any visitors. We're in complete lockdown so it's been cancelled!

These are great little boxes, Carol! We don't get trick or treaters where I live, which saves some $$ and calories! I hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep, although with the dreary day today, I still feel like a little nap would be perfect!

Oh, wow! These milk boxes look so beautiful!! And great use of your scraps! The recipients surely has been so happy! I love especially the purple one that is your fav colour too!! :D We are on the same line :D LOL
Take care and safe in these crazy days, waiting the light return (and hope early!)
Big hugs

These are really cute, Carol! This is the first year that I did not buy any Halloween candy. Didn't think anyone would come to our door, and I was right!
