Do you celebrate Halloween?
I don't think it every really caught on around here.

I did all the trick or treating when the girls were younger,
but last year, I don't think we had a single caller!

Shame - I had to eat all the Halloween candy myself!!!
I made a little 'trick or treat' basket using the very easy template from
Clear and Simple Stamps Blog.
It's only small, but I managed to fit a couple of bags of Mini Oreos inside. These bags are joined together in two's and as I ripped them apart, one split open, scattering Oreos everywhere. It was a mad scrabble between me and the dog to see who could grab the most. I think she won!!

For my card I used the lush memory Box paper 'Blackbird''.
It's so gorgeous that I didn't want to cover it up too much.
I paper-pieced a lot of my stamp and coloured the rest in with Copics.
I added the 'Oct 31st' text and a few adhesive pearls, colouring them black with a copic pen.
I would like to enter this for a couple of challenges, first of all Fab 'n' Funky, where the theme is "What'eva".
This means you can make anything you like!
And secondly Simon Says Stamp - 'Holiday Fun'. Simon Says are also running a Stamp-tember Hop, that you DO NOT want to miss out on. Check their blog for all the details.
