Wow, can you believe September starts next week? I sure can't! Well, that means my favorite season of the year, Fall, is just around the corner! That also means it's time for my annual 12 Weeks of Fall & Halloween! I wasn't able to complete all 12 weeks last year, because I got COVID right after week 4. It took me weeks after getting over COVID to get my energy back, so I wasn't able to get the projects going again. I'm looking forward to getting all 12 weeks done this year!
I'll Post a New 12 Weeks of Fall & Halloween Project
Every Friday @ 4 pm (ET) Through November 10th!

My first project is a Halloween one. I plan on doing all six Halloween projects first, which will take us through the end of September...giving you a whole month to make the ones you want for Halloween.
My Halloween Candy Treat Bag features the products in the upcoming Them Bones Suite from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog (Holiday Mini). These products aren't available yet, but no worries. You don't have too long to wait...the catalog goes live on September 6th!

The bundle in this suite is called Bag of Bones Bundle. It includes the Bag of Bones Stamp Set & Bag of Bones Dies. When you purchase the bundle, rather than buying the two products separately, you save 10%. The dies in this bundle may not be available when the catalog goes live on Sept. 6th, but they're expecting a shipment of them the following week (week of Sept 11).
Comparing the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the Halloween DSP packs we've had over th last few years, this one is my favorite. It's so cute! I used the tombstone design on the back of the bag (see the left pic above) and the sides (see the right pic above).
Here's a closeup of the main part of the treat bag. It can hold three fun size Hershey Bars, a small box of Milk Duds, & more. Four nugget candy bars fit perfectly inside it, too. It's like it was made for them specifically.
I heat embossed the skeleton with white embossing powder from the Basics Stampin' Embossing Powders. I love the look on the Basic Black Cardstock.
There are two more products in the Them Bones Suite, and I think they're the coolest! The bat and the ghost embellishments are from the Glow-in-the-Dark Bats & Ghosts. The pile of bones were made with one of the dies in the bundle, and die-cut out of the Glow-in-the-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper...yes, you can make your very own glow-in-the-dark embellishments! The picture above does a pretty good job at showing how they glow-in-the-dark, but they look even cooler in person.
