Super Sweetie Halloween Blog Hop!!!

Now on to my project...
I have had this pumpkin blank for over a year now and tHought it was time to play around with it...the shape is not the traditional short, fat pumpkin I am used to, so I had a hard time making it look Pumpkin-ish. I think I like how it turned out in the end, though! It is covered with Eerie papers, Martha Stewart Halloween ribbon, LOTS of glitter and Zva Crystal Swirls...the crow image is a fun $1.99 stamp from Inkadinkado. I added a little strip of the paper punched with the Drippy Goo punch and I added a bit more sparkle by outlining it with a Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen.
The little Test Tube is a simple gift to make, I just wrapped a small strip of patterned paper and ribbon around it and filled it with goodies! M&Ms or Reese's Pieces would work great for a child, but mine is filled with Dew Drops for a fellow crafter! :)

The card is again, pretty simple, just a Kraft CS base embossed with the Spiderweb Cuttlebug folder, then a strip of Eerie paper and a black glitter spider sticker I picked up last year after Halloween. The crystal shape is from TPC Studios.
Now on to the Sweeties to see what Spooky things they have created!!! You've started here, now you'll move on to Tammy, you can always come back here if you get lost in the Hop for the master schedule:
