I don’t know about you guys, but I’m starting to really get pumped for fall, y’all. I love, love, love all things Halloween from decorations to party planning to Halloween food. I guess if you’ve been reading my blog, you already knew that!
Anyway, today, I wanted to present an idea that I came up with a couple of years ago for a Halloween Bridal Shower. Now I realize that it’s a bit early to have a Halloween party, but it is never too early to start planning and getting ideas and plans in order so you are ready for the big event!!! For this project, I wanted to have fun cup labels (they can also double as name badges if you’d rather do that) for the guests to get them talking and mingling. It turned out to be a hit and everyone had fun picking out their very own label. Here’s a quick photo I shot of the ones from that party (not my best photo ever, but it shows the basic idea)…
The ones I made for that party were done on the fly, but I decided to offer you, my swell blog readers, some cool designed ones that I made up this evening in Quark. Click on the picture to be directed to my flickr stream and to download it at it’s biggest size for best resolution. Then print it out on your home printer and cut. It’s easy as pumpkin pie!
I wanted them to reflect classic Halloween characters and movie horror classic icons. I think they are fun!
One of the other major reasons I’m getting psyched about Halloween is that this arrived today at the office:
I even noticed our products being used in a photo article about having a kid’s halloween craft party (I designed the label on the Foam Paint bottle):
Whee! I also wanted to share today a few of my favorite Halloween site discoveries for you to check out…
This Christmas Traditions site is the most fabulous site if you love vintage Halloween decorations! It will make your mouth water!
My friend Lorilyn directed me to this fabulous site called Fancy Flours. There are so many ideas for making funky Halloween sweets and treats! Check it out!
Over at DecoArt, we are gearing up for a great season of crafting with great projects like these (click on the title above the photo to go to the project page)…

I’ll try to feature atleast one project each week now until Halloween from the DecoArt site on here. The DecoArt designers are the best and do such a great job coming up with innovative ideas!
Until next time Swellions!

I’m too am getting so psyched for fall and Halloween! And your label idea is awesome! I will be using this. So I have some more people interested in the C.R.A.B meet-ups if we want to get those started again 🙂
cool. Let’s get together with Lorilyn to discuss. I think she will def. be interested in reviving it!
