{Printables} You've Been Boo'd!

Do you "Boo" your neighbors during the Halloween season?

If not - WHY?

It's basically a fun game of "ring the door bell and run like crazy while leaving behind a fun gift at the doorstep." The instructions say once you've been boo'd, then you have to boo someone new! The "boo-ing" just keeps going and going.

SO! FUN!

Don't have neighbors? How about Boo-ing your child's teacher? A co-worker? A friend?

Here are a few fun {FREE} printables you can use to do your "Boo-ing" this year!

From anna and blue paperie.



From The TomKat Studio.


Another from The TomKat Studio.


From Grey Square Designs.


From Uncommon Designs.


And one from Anders Ruff {my personal fave}.


Now you have no reason not to Boo someone this year!

Have fun and Happy Boo to You!

{Made It Monday} Halloween Notecards

So...maybe I bought a cute Halloween stamp set.



And maybe I had a little time to whip up some cute cards with the stamps.




I made my cards to fit some super cute glassine envelopes I had from a recent trip to Paper Source. {Love anything glassine. Super love Paper Source.}


The glassine bags are made of a milky transparent paper. They are 3.5x3.5 inches, so they are pretty tiny by card standards. But tiny is cute, right? And see-through envelopes? I think I love!

But, maybe when I put the simple little card in the envelope, it looked a little - well - blah. It was a bit plain, I guess.

So, I took out one of my favorite paper punches and punched an array of multi-sized confetti in orange and black.



I added the confetti to the envelope and ta-da!!



I think it's definitely the cutest Halloween card I've ever given!

I hope this inspires you to make something handmade for giving this Halloween!

Only a few more days until the big day! You still have time to make something cute!

Happy Halloween-ing, peeps!

{Fun Things} Halloween Treats

Have I mentioned that I loooooooove Halloween? I mean I love, love, love it.

I'm always looking for cute ideas on how to dress up my Halloween favors.

Here are a few fun ideas for serving up Halloween treats. These have all filtered across my computer screen at some point over the past few days and I just can't help but share them.

First up, Pumpkin Favor Pouches from Martha.



Surprise Balls from Charlotte's Fancy.



Jack O' Lantern in a Jar by the girls at eighteen25. Oh! For the love of cute. And the ribbon? Icing on the cake...errrr...cookie.





Halloween treat bags from The Twinery.



Sour cream containers by PaperVine? I think yes.



Frankenstein or ghost bags by Pink Texas Chick. I really like the updated Frankenstein with scarier eyebrows. So cute!




Friendly ghost bags by BHG? Yes, please.


And, last but not least, my very favorite of all - Monster Cello Bags by The Celebration Shoppe. SERIOUSLY. It doesn't get any cuter than this.


In fact, they're so cute, I think I'm going to do them as Halloween treats for the kids in my class. And, maybe the kids in my kids' classes. Of course, I'll change it up a little and put my spin on it. I'm not a fan of being a complete copy cat - just a partial one. But that's just me. Ha ha ha.

For more inspiration, check out my October-ish Board on Pinterest. Beware, though. Once you start, you can't stop.

So, go! Have fun and have yourself a spooky little October!

Happy treat giving!

SO CUTE! I love them all!

You can print these in all different sizes and use them in a variety of ways. I have put them in picture frames as holiday decor, printed them smaller and used them as seasonal cards or as a cute way to decorate the front of a plain gift bag. Print them even smaller and they can be used as gift tags!

See? The list goes on and on!

And, here are some of my favorite "real art" pieces.
