Happy Halloween!

A treat for my little tricksters - 



Here is the progression, with a couple of lessons learned:
I used Wilton decorative icing for the face and binder on the "bones".  The brownie recipe is "Nutella Pretzel" from  Chef-in-Training.  The brownies are great, but next time I will use an unfrosted version as they were difficult to put in the bags cleanly.

My trusty Silhouette for the tags.

Had some extra skulls, so I just dropped them in along with the secured bodies.  Using skewers was essential to keep everything in line.
Have a wonderful time tonight, and may many Twix bars be in your future!

Halloween - My favorite time of year

It begins with lots of spooky fun and ends with a candy coma - not to mention my card making season.

Here is what I sent out this year.  I ran out of the "halloween" background paper, so there were two versions - which do you like best?

Option 1
Option 2 - inside

Option 2 - front
