31 Days of Halloween - Day 9

This blog post contains goodies I received for free from some of my favorite crafting companies.

Hey there everyone! I'm back this week with another project in the 31 Days of Halloween Hop with Stampendous! 

Last week I used this stamp set to create a background card with a hint of Halloween -- check it out here. It was so subtle if you didn't read between the roses you wouldn't know it was a Halloween themed card! Hint - this set can be used any time of the year!

This week I have a Stampendous Sugar Skull treat bag to share! I'm also using Whisker Graphics products from my wonderful stash that was given to the Stampendous design team on our last collaboration with them (here and here).

Once I was done putting together the sugar skull focal piece I did giggle a bit as it reminded me of a Shakespearean ruff, so I affectionately call this a Spookespeare Treat Bag!

Hop along with Stampendous today for more inspiration!
