Yes folks, I'm now officially back in the studio today after being away for the Creativ Festival and then stuck at home with a sick child. You can imagine the disaster my studio presented to me when I walked in the door --- I felt like turning around and running home! ACK!

To further expound on the scary theme, I'll be presenting some sweet & spooky Halloween ideas for the rest of the week!

If you are bringing an extra tricky treat to the Halloween party, our Nite Owl Designer Series Paper is the perfect solution for transforming product packaging from ordinary to extraordinarily spooky.

Black Waffle Paper and Linen Thread top our bottles nicely for a grim effect, almost as if to warn that this beverage isn’t for everyone!
