Stamped Spider Transparency

Ok, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Yippee! Why you asked? How could I love it more than Christmas?  Simple Halloween is fun, with less stress, less traveling, dark, scary images, costumes, etc.

I made these spiders on a transparent sheet using Tattered Angels spiders stamps, staz on ink, Glimmer Glam and CTMH bitty sparkles for the eyes. I plan to stick these cool spiders on my windows and the glass of my built in China cabinet. They will be cut out individually.
I plan to enter these stamped spiders in the following challenges:

I made candy apples, a large chocolate rat (using candy mold) and he has org jellybeans as rat droppings. lol My daughters loved it and so did their guests.

Jar lids Repurposed for holding candy on my mantel

 I repurposed a few jars that would otherwise go into the recyclable bin for my county pick up. I placed them on my mantel filled with various halloween treats. I decorated the lids with halloween scrapbook paper and ribbon. I also placed some cool alchemy stickers on the side of the jars. If you look at previous blog postings, there is a pic of my dining room mantel posted with the jars. I have 3 fireplaces in my home but I only put the candy jars on this one.
