I love Halloween,

When I was a kid I use to spend the few weeks before Halloween looking for the perfect costume. I would put sometime a special request to my mom so she could help me by sewing my ideas together.

To get into the spirit of Halloween, I did this special treat box for the before and after school boys I am looking after.  I got this inspiration from a fellow consultant Sharon aka the Oki Stamp Queen.

Here is my project:  A "Scary treat box".  I had a lot of fun doing it as it was really easy with the Close to My Heart Artist and Artbooking Cricut cartridges.

If you want I can send you a kit for $6 + shipping or you can pick up if you live in Calgary.
The kit will have all pre-cut pieces and instruction (adhesive not include)

Here is what you need to complete this project

• 1 piece of cardboard 4 1/2" x 8" for the base  *
• Cardstock : Black (2), White Daisy, Sweet Leaf, Sunset and Honey
•  Clear Acetate  to hold the skeleton together and the flying bats *
• Adhesive Spring
• Spider webb *
• Cricut Artiste Collection
• Cricut Artbooking Collection
• Cricut Art Philosophy
• Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up * (to cut the ghost)  aslo and easy shape to cut by hand
