Just a few days 'til Halloween. What a beautiful month October has turned out to be...I wish I could have another 30 days of it. This weekend we were supposed to be taking a little road trip to visit our favorite pumpkin patch and corn maze....and see Grandma, but a sore throat and fever has kept us home. We'll miss this tradition this year. I guess I'll spend the day cleaning and tidying up a bit....the pumpkin patch sounds like much more fun, don't you think?
I have a few treat bags to share with you today. I created them using clear cellophane bags, paper doilies from Freckled Fawn aged with Glimmer Mist, Melissa Frances Tarnished Silver Glass Glitter....I love this stuff, vintage images from Linda K. Designs, and flair buttons from A Flair for Buttons.
I think one of my most favorite ways to use washi tape lately is on transparent or semi-transparent elements such as cellophane or glassine. I've used it across the bottom of each treat bag and love how you can see right through it. I used Freckled Fawn's Black Lace, Grey Polka Dot, and Postage washi on today's projects.
The Postage washi is sold out, but the following would be cute with a bit of spook:
Birds on a Wire washi
I finished the top of each treat bag off with embellishments from Caramelos....one of my most favorite etsy shops. I used Black Crepe Garland, printed Halloween ribbon, and orange millinery flowers.
That's it for me today. I'll be back soon to post images from my Beware Scrap Kit Studio album. This kit is full or goodies...perfect for scrapping your Halloween photos in a hurry!
Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting.

These are so pretty Melis! Love all the wonderful touches you add. Thanks for sharing all your sources with us. It always takes me a "cup of tea" to look at your wonderful posts because I do go to each link. I do believe I'll be going to a candy factory close by today and making some bags of my own. LOVE the washi tape on the bottom. Hope everyone gets to feeling better soon.
