Halloween Wrap Up

I wanted to post these at the end of October, but our internet service was kaput for a couple weeks due to some weather issues. I hope you will indulge me for a little Halloween wrap-up.

I used Echo Park’s Apothecary line for all these projects. I so enjoyed this collection. First up, are some pillow box treats. I took these to my son’s school and they were a big hit. They were super easy to do. I confess: I used pre-made pillow boxes from the wedding aisle at Michael’s and just covered them with patterned paper. Easy peasy!

Then I made a couple of cards just for fun.

And a wreath for the front door.

Then, just before Halloween, I stopped by a thrift store and found a small wooden birdhouse for 25 cents. I took it home and started to paint it white, then realized it would be better painted black. I covered the birdhouse with little scraps of Apothecary and added an oversized Raven sticker. We sat this on our bookcase in the den and it gave just the right Halloween feel to the room. Quote the raven: Nevermore!
