Halloween Coffin Treat Box

Happy Thursday Everyone,

With Halloween fast approaching I thought I would take this opportunity to wish you all a

Happy Halloween

and to share with you the template and instructions on how to make these fabulous Treat Boxes, I'm sure they will be a big hit with the little one's in your lives.

I know it's still a few weeks away, but you may remember seeing my Coffin Treat Box in the last Magnolia Ink Magazine, Cozy Autumn Edition. I thought you might like to make some of your own for some trick or treating gifts, here is the link with the template, instructions and video from the Martha Stewart website and is very easy to make.

Halloween is not a holiday many Australians celebrate, but I must admit I do have a little bit of a devil in me at times and love to colour these adorable images.

How adorable is Edwin, TOO CUTE TO SPOOK, he is obviously playing dress up, and even the Bat is adorable. Hope you have fun colouring up your Magnolia Images this Halloween.

Happy Sunday Friends,

5 more sleeps until Santa comes - I hope Santa brings me my much needed Laptop, this one is so slow and is getting worse by the day.

A break from Christmas Cards, my mojo did not want to work today, it was so difficult switching from Christmas card mode to something else.

2nd Prize $10 Gift Voucher at Magnolia Down Under

3rd Prize Paper Pack from the Lazy Summer Collection

I bought this cute little Devil Tilda from Magnolia's So Spooky Collection - when ordering this stamp I could see the potential for other uses, not just Halloween. This is the first chance I have had to ink it up. Heart with wings stamp is also a Magnolia stamp - I added the cutout heart over the stamped heart, to fit the sentiment.
