When my children were very young our family dressed up as Goldilocks and the three bears. My daughter made a perfect Goldilocks and my husband, son and I were the bears.

I LOVE Halloween! I have so many fond memories of First Graders enjoying this fun day! I think my fondest Halloween memory is when my Mom made a witch outfit for me and used corn husk from our corn field to make hair hanging out from under the hat. I won the contest for the BEST costume! That was 50 years ago! We even wore false faces (masks) then.

I love going to see the grade school annual Halloween Parade....I miss when my kiddos were little. We also always go to a favorite apple farm to get apples for goodies every year around now. Thanks for sharing.

I can remember Halloween day/night . We (there were 8 of us) had to have homework finished, supper eaten and the dishes done before we could go trick or treating. The best meal hot dogs and french fries the fastest meal to prepare, eat and clean up , to this day we still have hot dogs and french fries on Halloween. LOL

I look back and think of the times that we would go out with the kids when they were younger. It was such a fun time for them, to get all that candy. Many times it was cold and even snow so the costume was fit to get the coat underneath. To old for this anymore. They now are taking their children.

Your card is stunning! I so love your creations!!

A couple of years ago someone in our our neighborhood managed to find a long horn steer that could be led thru our streets behind all the trick or treaters - this happened on a Sunday afternoon and most of us stood at the end of our driveways with bowls of treat for the kiddos. Everyone thought this was pretty awesome !

Awesome card and candy bar holder. I like to have a few "special" treats for some of the children in our neighborhood and these would be great. I love to decorate the house and yard for Halloween. My husband and dog have matching costumes (Superman and Superdog) and they sit on the porch to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. When we were kids, my mom made a special dinner on Halloween night before we went trick or treating, hot dogs rolled up in dough to look like mummies, etc. I still do that even though we don't have children at home anymore.

My favorite year was when I made us all m&m costumes and my husband was the gay of m&ms. Thank you for a chance to win a treat!!!

I have a brother that is 10 years younger than me, and my sister and I dressed him up as a bride! We used an old white cotton slip and our communion veil! He was so stinkin' cute!!

Great card! I like the black and white text background with the bright and bold colors in front. I enjoy the humor of "eat if you dare" on the candy bar. Thank you for sharing!

My birthday is actually Oct 31st so I have lots of fond Halloween birthday memories :-) It's a fun day to celebrate. I always say "I'm a treat not a trick!" Thanks for sharing your cute project and for the chance to win!

Love the candy bar wrapper - very cute. I just love the fall weather... It's the perfect time of year to be outside exploring nature and watching all the pretty colors and the animals that come out.

My favorite thing to do during the fall around Halloween is visiting the pumpkin farms and letting my kids pick their own pumpkin. We have a "pumpkin" family on our front porch, the kids pick theirs and we pick our "parent" pumpkins! It's so much fun :)

I love taking my kids to the pumpkin patch for pictures and walking in the corn maze. Such fun times!
Posted by: Amy | 10/08/2013 at 12:33 PM
Your card is stunning and I especially love how you used the label in between the layers. Very nice! The green and purple are such nice color additions instead of the same ole' black, orange and white. The hershey candy bar holder is really neat too! I love 3d projects! Thanks so much for sharing. My memory of Halloween was not so good and of course you always remember the worse. It rained later in the night and the bottom of my bag fell out so I had no candy. Then, my Mom, made my Brother share his with me and he was mad at my for what seemed like forever. Sad huh!

Love the card! I still miss taking my children trick or treating :)

I love taking the grandkids to the pumpkin patch and having hot apple cider afterwards.
