Friends of WMS Blog Waltz - Halloween Theme!

We're having a Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz over in the WMS forum in the Playroom today. You need to sign into the forum but it's easy to do - so go on over and check it out!

Our Blog Waltz theme this month is Halloween! whoo hoo - one of my favorite crafting times! I made two treat holders using Claire's Rubber Band Box template. This is the larger size one (there are two sizes included with the template)
The label says - Slyme & Co - Regurgitated Candy - Lightly Salted, Cold Pressed. So I felt it was totally appropriate to include this wonderful, so real looking and feeling, gummy worm as a treat inside!! I stamped my little white bag (Michaels) with the Boo stamp and filled it with Candy Corn.
Both treats tuck neatly inside my little box. I think I could get one more worm in there if I squished it! LOL!!! Don't worry - each worm is actually hermetically sealed inside a clear wrapper so you don't have to touch them to get them into the box!
Here's a second one done in a different color DP and I used the inverted scallop square Nestability to frame the sentiment - it looks a little more spooky than the regular scallop Nestibility frame I used on the green one don't you think?!
The only thing WHITE on my projects is the paper treat bag.
And here's how I dressed up the back of the boxes. Oh-oh, I think the gummy worm is on the move! Watch out!!!
Remember to look for the word clues on the DT's posts to help you guess the theme of one of the WMS October release sets! Post your answer over in the Playroom of the WMS Forum for your chance to win a WMS stamp set!
Hope to see you tomorrow for the WMS Saturday Sketch challenge??!!
