Hi guys, a chilly Saturday hello to you.
I know it's kind of late if I'm being topical, but I've got a Halloween tag to share that I made the afternoon of Halloween but forgot about until now. Our neighbor brought his grandson over to Trick or Treat. He is 2 and came dressed as Casper. I had baked some cookies and Rice Krispy treats to put in a gift bag for him, and then I saw that Tag Tuesday's new theme was Halloween, so I thought I'd make a quick gift tag for the bag using some of my Halloween bits and bobs because I knew I had an extra ghost die cut. I'm lucky I got a few pics of the tag while the cookies were baking, because things were a bit crazy that day.
I pulled the striped tag from this Oh Baby Boy Basic Grey collection and then colored over all the stripes with my glitter markers. I layered that onto a slightly larger black textured card stock scrap and cut the top corners to match the tag.
I had the Sizzix/TH Townscape border die already cut out of the same black card stock in my bits and bobs, along with the yellow window pieces and the QuicKutz ghost die cut out of white card. I found the shiny black dimensional letter stickers for the BOO and arranged and adhered to my tag base.
And done.
Final view.
The tag and the treats were well-received. "Casper" was quick to tell us 2 or 3 times that he was a friendly ghost and not scary at all, lol. Apparently, there are some parts of Halloween that do scare him and he was being brave to Trick or Treat. Last year he wouldn't do it at all even with family.
Thanks for the visit today and enjoy your evening!

Your not-so-spooky Halloween tag is fabulous Aimeslee, I really love the background paper. Great idea to add the glitter markers for a fun sparkle. I'm glad your great-nephew enjoyed the holiday this year, it can be a bit overwhelming for littlies. It probably helped to receive some delicious goodies too!
Cheers,
Beccy

Cute tag. I like the stripes. And those young years like 2 years old is when the kids look just adorable in their costumes. I bet he was excited with his treats, especially cookies and rice krispie bars. They are better than candy. I hope you're having a lovely weekend. hugs-Erika
