CDD and SOUS Halloween !

Happy Friday everyone !

Today is my day to post for
Craftin' Desert Divas
and
showcase some of the
wonderful stamps.

It is also the start of a new challenge at
SOUS .
Our theme is
"Anything Halloween "

I made a fun ,
and not too spooky
little treat pail full of lollipops ,
gumballs ,
and let's not forget these spooky little friends .

I stamped my "BOO" sentiment

first in Distress Ink

Pumice Stone , then Spiced Marmalade

and then in

Black Soot.

The cute , and not so spooky little friends

are from

Too Cute By Jessica .

I will list the files in the recipe section .

I used the fun sentiments from the
Craftin' Desert Divas

Frightfully Cute
Stamp Set .

It is available for purchase here .
