well... (and those who know me closely will laugh at me)... i planned WAAAY too much for tonight's show! SO, i have decided that there will be a "....to be continued". we did have fun tonight, and even though my kids were very highly non-cooperative... from the littlest to the biggest... they were just turkeys... i thought that it went well!
TONIGHT i was sharing some tips and tricks and just overall function of creating scrapbook pages from the Heidi Swapp Glimmer Kit from Tattered Angels.
this photo shows off what is inside the kit... this kit is the only place at the moment, that you can get the 12x12" magicalmistical paper!! (so worth it)... i love this paper so much! you get 3 full 12x12 pages, and several border strips... as well as tags, die cuts, crepe ribbon and the WHOLE PACKAGE of my Texture stamps... and 3 colors: Dragon Fly, Apple and Pomegranate... here is the secret to these 3 colors- really, they are just primary colors (red, yellow and blue) this means, that there are many possiblities for blending and mixing colors... that was one of the objectives i wanted to show tonight.
we only got through a page and 1/2... but i did also show how you can use the glimmer mist on the Parisian Anthology Portfolio Album and papers... i have had so many emails about the Parisian Anthology- most just people telling me how much they love it! (thanks everyone... we love it too)
this was the first page... i talked about how the Apple and Pomegranate create anywhere from a bright orange to a rusty auburn color when mixed... and how FAB it looks w/ the pop of dragon fly: these colors are a littel freaky-
this page number two, i also played with the same apple and pomegrantate:
we used 2 different glimmer screen techniques... and played more w/ the blending... the 'to be continued' part is all about the color "PURPLE"....
you may or may not know that PURPLE is NOT one of my favorite colors... and i am not quite sure what the deal is on that, just isn't... until lately... it's winning me over... and i think that the glimmer mist is to blame... that, and i LOVE it mixed with Grey! well... i was going to show my Purple concoctions... but that will have to wait until next show... i'll be posting the 'continuation...'
but in celebration or maybe punctuation of the PURPLE combos tonight- (that didn't quite happen LOL)... i decided to design a Halloween flower that features the Witches' favorite color: PURPLE! i named it appropriately, "BEWITCHED". ... and i quite love it! The flowers are purple and black with purple tulle and black sheer layers... black feather and the centers are made from glittered silver beads. they come with BOTH a clip and a pin on the back. This flower will only be available until Oct. 28th. It's a HKS Blossom Couture Limited Edition
i even created Colton's birthday invitation in PURPLE... w/ this screamin' yellow! love it...
(i am hiding carved out jack-o-lanterns around- w/ awesome prizes inside... we'll see how good they are at looking for treasure!).... and i am attempting a major cake project.
and always a highllight....goodnight kisses from Capri and Connor
i do have to share once again this super cute idea:
Janet put this together, and i LOVEie love it! here she used the quick mini-banner printables and jewelry printable... super fun, but GREAT impact!
thanks again for watching folks! i love sharing... thanks to Janet, and Sally Lynne and Kim ... and COlton for helping make it all happeN!
and AS PROMISED... if you would like to WIN one of these Glimmer Kits, so you can play along... as well as a Bewitched Limited Edition Flower pin... leave a comment and tell me what kind of candy you are giving out Halloween night... (i love butterfingers and reses' PB cups... so i can't give that out!)
I got the chocolate mix from Costco. The Milky-Ways will get "lost" on the way to the door, but I go chocolate all the way!! Wonderful show as always Heidi & Co.! Thank you.

I bought Halloween colored microwave popcorn and large chocolate bars from Costco since I don't get a whole pile of trick or treaters. Thanks so much Heidi!

Mini tootsie roll lollipops! Hand fulls of them. Their much easier to eat than the larger classic and you can eat more with less guilt. Right??! Happy Halloween Treating everyone!!

I loved the show tonight. I always love when you work with the glimmer mist. I need to win that kit before I have to go buy it. I just spent $80 on glimmer mist last week! LOL I guess I have to have all the colors. Thanks again for the Show. As for halloween candy.....I like the bits of honey chews.

Australia have been slow starting to celebrate Halloween. Not many trick-or-treaters have caught on yet, but I have Milky-way mini bars wrapped in Halloween print paper at the ready.
Posted by: Kaz Taz | October 20, 2010 at 10:38 PM
I love the Tootsie Roll package where the suckers have the Tootsie roll centre. We also have these adorable card games to hand out from Costco with Disney characters on them :)
Love the kit!!!
Posted by: Tamikko | October 20, 2010 at 10:44 PM
I will be passing out twix, kit kats, and reeses, along with some seasonal silly bands. Happy Halloween! And Thanks for the opportunity!!!
Posted by: Elisa Soto | October 20, 2010 at 10:56 PM
We are giving out reeses, heath bars, whoppers, almond joys and chips. We can't wait to see all those cute kids! The babies are so adorable!
Posted by: Cheryl Ting | October 20, 2010 at 11:02 PM
We always hand out cans of pop and chocolate bars. I always try to find cool, funky new candy but the cans of pop always leave the trick-or-treaters saying "Sweet! We got pop from that house!!!" (yes, I'm Canadian, haha!)
Posted by: DoreenEpicure | October 20, 2010 at 11:16 PM
I get packs of mini mars bars and mini milky ways.
Posted by: Sue Bone | October 20, 2010 at 11:23 PM
Oh Butterfingers are definitely the candy bar for handing out to those adorable trick or treaters.

I absolutely love mms and kit kats so those are usually the ones i give out. ;)
Posted by: Jen Seidel | October 20, 2010 at 11:46 PM
we will be giving out cookies that the kids will be making and wrapping along with little packs of jelly beans
Posted by: Emma Tandy Nicholls | October 21, 2010 at 12:29 AM
We live in a great kid neighborhood, and hand our probably 400 candies, so we get a variety. Reeses, Almond Joy, Snickers (my fav.), Butterfingers, ;you name it! As long as you are in costume, doesn't matter how old, you get candy at our house.

We don't do Halloween in Australia, but if we did I'd give out black cat lollies (candies) that are so yum with an aniseed flavour.
Posted by: Anna Vaschina | October 21, 2010 at 12:50 AM
A burst of flavor in your mouth... pink and grape boxes of Nerds! Just takes me back 20 plus years, love them!!

I so love this kit but always need to watch the show the next day too late on the East Coast for me to stay up and go to work : ( But for Halloween I make chocolate covered pretzels the big sticks, put them in cellophane bags with a cute little Halloween topper. On a second note I did think about giving out glimmer mist hmmm my sis will stop by with the kiddos maybe I will try it out on her! Happy Haunting!

This kit looks really cool! I usually give out whatever's on sale on Halloween since we have a ton of TorTers. I think this year we have Skittles, Smarties, and Lifesave Gummies. :)
