Welcome to Day TWO of the "Trick or Treat" Halloween Blog Hop!!

We're so happy to have you back for the SECOND DAY of this super-fun hop showcasing cards, layouts and projects that feature everything fun about Halloween!!  You'll find an array of ideas throughout the hop -- From decorations to gift ideas and more, we hope you'll enjoy each and every project along the way!! This is a TWO-DAY hop, so if you missed Day One, be sure to check out the links from yesterday for maximum ideas (you'll find the entire line-up below my post)!!

We can guarantee LOTS of treats on this hop (and maybe a few TRICKS too)... So let's get hopping!!  If you hopped here from Jamie's blog, then you are in the RIGHT place!! :)  If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join our Trick-or-Treat FUN, then please CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Lynda's blog because...  It's always a TREAT to start at the start!! :)

For the month of October I've been asked to be a Guest Designer at the Scrappin' Chics Challenge Blog, so I am sharing my second project for them with YOU for the hop today!! :)  Over at Scrappin' Chics Challenge Blog, they have a pretty neat concept...  They invite a few Guest Designers to join their "regular" DT and create multiple projects for the challenge theme throughout the month...  As a participant, you have ALL month to create a card, layout, or other project to enter in the challenge, so I hope to see your entries soon!! :)  This month, we've been asked to create a Halloween project using the colors PURPLE and GREEN (you can use additional colors as long as you also use purple and green).  I hope you'll hop on over to Scrappin' Chics Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team created for inspiration -- It's sure to be a sweet treat!! :)  Now, here's my project for the hop (and my take on the challenge)...

I upcycled a salad dressing bottle for a FUN Halloween gift...  I started with a clean, dry bottle and used Modge-Podge to adhere strips of purple tissue paper all over the outside of the bottle.  Once that was dry, I cut 1.25" letters from the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge (Vampire Font feature -- both base and shadow)...  I also cut several circles in varying sizes (from .75" to 1.25"), outlined them with a white Signo pen and clustered them behind the title...

I popped the title up with some foam tape for a little extra dimension...  And then I filled the bottle with some "Tangerine" flavored Candy Corn...  My friend will enjoy this bottle of "poison" for sure!! :)

I covered the cap of the dressing bottle with decorative cardstock to make it a little more personal...  I used the Martha Steward border punch (drippy goo) to give the effect of a leaky bottle of poison (hee hee hee...)!!  I added a strip of black cardstock before tying a bow with white 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon (if you missed the Ribbons & Buttons Blog Hop you should really check it out -- you still have all day today to WIN some of that amazing crinkle ribbon!!), and adding an adorable tag...

My circle tag is stamped with the Mix-N-Match sentiments ("A Gift for YOU") created from the "Fall-O-Ween" and "Winter Wishes" Stamp Art Sets by K Andrew Designs...  I'd love to read your feedback or answer any questions about my project, so please leave me a comment if you have a moment to do so...
