We Create Blog Hop – You Go Ghoul – It’s a Banner Year

 It's OCTOBER!!! I know there were plenty of days I wondered if we would ever get to this point in this year. I am so grateful for today and every day. I am grateful that we are in "Fall" – I have to put it in quotes, it just doesn't feel like Fall here – it's expected to still be high 90s most of the week. It's okay though, because I'm still going to treat it like OCTOBER. Speaking of treats, I have a fun, quick treat idea for you for today's We Create Blog Hop – "You Go Ghoul"

 I thought I would go with the obvious Halloween theme, but I think there are a few other ways you could take it, too! 

 Now, when it comes to Halloween treats – I admit, if it's for friends/co-workers or my own kids, I like doing something a little fancy, but when it comes to treats for the kids friends and such, well – I don't spend a ton of time because I know they generally aren't as appreciated.

 Recently I bought a bag of these cute little "test tubes" off of a friend who was de-stashing some of her supplies. I thought I'd fill them with some chocolate covered candies and make a sweet and simple little tag.

 Aren't they FUN? So simple too!

1. Cut a strip of Smoky Slate Cardstock 1" x 4 1/4" and punch each end with the Banners Pick a Punch. Stamp the web from Banner Year in Smoky Slate once on the left side of the tag, and then without re-inking, stamp again on the bottom right hand side for a softer look.
2. Stamp the "BOO" in Versamark Ink on to small strips of Basic Black Cardstock and emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Cut apart and adhere to slightly larger strips of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock and trim apart again. Add to the tag using a Stampin' Dimensional.
3. Using a small hole punch, punch a hole in the tag and tie to the tube using Baker's Twine or Linen Thread. I wanted orange twine to match, but didn't have any, so I dyed my Linen Thread with Pumpkin Pie Reinker!!!
