At the last SU extravaganza day Jenny had a crafters choice competition. You had to make something using mostly SU products...this is what I came up with...I had seen lots of these little people on the net using the larger petal die as well as the SU new petal punch so I set to work...it took me ages to find where I had hidden my booglie eyes LOL....and because it was the day before halloween it was very topical and I WON...woo hoo to me......I got a gift certificate for £25, thanks Jenny......

Halloween gifts for my friends :)
These are the bags I made for my crafting buddies...still keeping up with all the occasions this year phew only one more to go !! Seriously though its great to use the stash of goodies I keep hoarding LOL....I keep telling myself I must use these.... and I do !! I cut the shape using nesties die then embossed with the web folder, punched an oval out for the handle and as you can see from the tag I layered it onto a scalloped black oval...waste not want not... I used the tiny tags word BOO that was tricky as its such a tiny wee cute stamp :) I also punched out a black tag to layer behind it.I merrily went ahead punching lots of them and then realised that I hadnt done the holes for the thread DUH !! its much easier to make the holes in the top of the tiny tag punch whilst it is still in the punch, hold it upside down and just before you punch the tag shape use your pokey tool to make a hole at the top and voila hole ready for thread......or brad or both as I used. I then used the black stripe ribbon and frayed the edges to give an effect ? and tied the bag closed. I filled the plastic baggie inside with assorted sweets in black and orange.....
hope you likey what I have shared today :)

Suspension card
I knew I wanted to make suspension cards for halloween this year as I loved the idea of bats being suspended upside down LOL....
The paper is from the doodlebug collection a few years back. I used glittery black thread which I taped inbetween the paper layer and card layer. I used my circle scissor cutting thing to make the openings.I used a red glitter pen for the eyes on the bats.....
Inside card
This is the inside of the cards. I used the web embossing folder from sizzix. The little spider is from a cuttlebug 3 x 3 halloween die I love the rhinestones for eyes...I tried red stones but they looked evil. Happy halloween stamp is from SU teeny tiny wishes.I used the word window and modern label punch to mat and layer the words.
