Poison Control

I have to admit it—Halloween is growing on me.  Two years ago I put up a few small decorations in a “nod” to Halloween—the first in something like 16 years of marriage!  Last year, I put up a few more decorations.  This year…well, of course I had to expand yet again!

I fell in love with Down to Earth Style’s mantel, which included a very, very cool vintage-style “Poison” sign.

I loved it. 

It loved me. 

I had to make one.  THAT VERY DAY!

(Hers came from HomeGoods.  I designed this one on my Silhouette.)

Of course, that was only the beginning of my temporary insanity…

I used the free Harry Potter Potions labels from Over the Big Moon to spookify my collection of old bottles…

…and a free printable book cover from chickabug to turn a hardback book into a magical tome…

…along with a couple of oil lamps and a creepy-crawly or two, I have an appropriately creepy Halloween display!

And can I tell you how much fun it was to play with the Halloween overlays and enhancements on PicMonkey?

Lots!

Poison…may cause death…or heartburn!

This sign is also available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

This project has been featured at the All-Star Block Party or Mod Vintage Life.
