ee you there posted by kristen swain at 7 28 am no comments monday september 2 2013 halloween ghouls hello my friends another not so crafty post today i have been wanting to share my girls halloween costumes with you since sandy had just hit us and there was widespread damage to trees and power lines our halloween was postponed until friday after halloween we settled for a quick jaunt around a close by neighborhood since we don t actually live in one which is perfectly fine with me my girls are getting older and cute fun costumes are not desirable especially with alizabeth obsessed with zombies she thinks they are pretty cool and often plays zombie hunting games on the game system i think zombie makeup is cool too i often wonder and think to myself how much my life would be different if i had pursued makeup as a career not fashion makeup horror makeup you might see some mistakes but i have models who don t like me getting too close to their eyes and i definitely don t have the correct makeups for some use but since we were just trick or treating perfection wasn t a big deal when the girls were younger i loved painting their faces and they loved it too until i was done then they wanted to scratch and couldn t so less and less as they have gotten older have i been allowed to do it annalise thought that going as a doll was pretty scary stuff i mean how many horror stories are focused on dolls so here is my doll baby i love those big fake eyes and the tiny little lips she wore an old dress of alizabeths with dress shoes and crinoline at the bottom she looked great i have deliberately put alizabeth second so you can run away and chose not to look at her pic i used a cheapie cheapie makeup kit and used the fake scar stuff to rough up her cheeks i also used black paint mixed with the red blood to create a more realistic look she has touches of green in the pale makeup as well as two shades of red blood i warn you this is scary ok here she is once we went outside i took the rest of a tube of blood and oozed it down her arms and neck and hair she loved it she was quite scary and frightened many of her teenage friends happy hooooooowwwwllllloween posted by kristen swain at 4 42 pm 1 comment halloween decor tealights i have been creating and putting off finishing my halloween creations when we moved here i sold all my halloween decor and haven t decorated for fall halloween in a few years i have recently over the past 2 years begun to miss it i think i have drawn away from the fun cutesy looking items into more creepy spooky items you ll be able to see that with these creations nothing cute about them i seriously recommend shopping at the dollar store for some items i found that just a simple spray of paint can create items you might spend a lot more money on so let me show you lots of filters here on this photo let me snow you what i created first the dollar store creepy not plastic skull and some no longer colored bugs and spideys just take your items and place them in a box take them and some 99 cheap black shiny spray paint outside and spray away i also glittered the skull with black glitter yudu glitter seriously good looking stuff and for what 2 can t beat that with a stick i added some dollar store netting and spider webs check out that creepy spider 2 1 doesn t that skull look great you should have seen the terrible paint job on him originally tip of the day think about what else you could put a coat of paint on that would look like a much more expensive buy oh goodie look at the pic i found you can see the terrible skull and how much nicer he looks now look at my fun jars and tealights wanna see how those are made gonna be a long post today folks let s start with the tea lights you ll need two small fishbowls two glass candlesticks some alcohol inks and some e6000 or craft goop silicone adhesive originally i had planned on multiple colors but i only ended up using black red and purple place some plastic down so your inks don t ruin your surface using black run droplets of ink at top of glass then let them slide down into the bottom of the glass do the same thing with the candle stick now add purple letting it drip and blend on the outside of the glass you ll want to put the red you don t want it to mix with the purple and black now let them dry then you put the glass bowl on top of the candlestick with the craft goop let that dry insert your tealight and enjoy your spooky candle tealights like this idea how about using some glass jars spaghetti salsa cheesewhiz etc you just need clean glass jars some fun spooky stuff craft goop black paint some black beads and some more glass candleholders so basically you are going to do a lot as the tealights steps this time paint only the candleholders and the jar lids when those are dry use the craft goop to glue the round bead to the jar lid and the jar to the now black candle holders insert your fun stuff into the jars i used small skeletons i cut up from the dollar store even the small brown ones were a banner i added a couple dollops of hot glue to the inside of the spider jar dropped in some webbing and then pulled it up and over the rim twisting the lid in place to keep the webbing in place i tossed in a few spiders when i could but the jars were too plain for me they needed labels i googled free halloween printable labels and found some you can find tons of them just use what you like and size them to your needs with a program like word i decorated each jar differently but the same using buttons spiders cheesecloth netting twine and plastic bugs i am so happy how my jars turned out i might try to find a jar for one of those large spiders next year i also hear that dried moss spray painted beans and hand sanitizer make creepy jar additions happy hallow scream everyone posted by kristen swain at 4 41 pm 1 comment toffee chex mix i have been on a chex mix kick first we experimented with nutella puppy chow big big hit then i tried cake mix puppy chow also delicious however i think we all get a bit tired of the 10x sugar taste which to me tends to over power the other flavors plus like any powdered donut it s a mess to eat so on to almond bark and what flavors can be created i was buying on a whim looking for pumpkin seeds and saw heath bits in the baking section lightbulb toffee chex mix you need 1 box rice chex mix 1 1 2 packages of almond bark 2 cups slightly broken pretzels 1 bag of heath bits of brickle bits 1 2 bag or more heath bits 1 2 cup mini chocolate chips melt the 1 and 1 2 packages of almond bark i do this in a microwave safe glass bowl the biggest one i have this makes a lot after the bark is melted pour in your cereal and use a folding motion to start bringing the almond bark up and over the cereal this helps prevent breakage of the squares now add in your pretzel pieces broken ones blend into the mix better it s asthetical and your brickle bits lay your mix out on 2 large sheet pans covered with parchment paper nothing sticks and immediately add in the mini chocolate chips and heath bits then let it cool dry and simply break it up to put into platicware or ziplocs it fills two gallon ziplocs enjoy posted by kristen swain at 4 39 pm no comments halloween treats hello friends i have two fun chex treats that are sure to please your little goblins this chex mix is fun and perfect for halloween treats for class or friends coworkers i know my kids have taken this to school and gotten raves from friends and teachers you ll need 1 box rice chex mix 1 1 2 blocks of almond bark can find this at the walmart yes one whole and one half package i like my chex well covered with the melted candy 1 cup of yellow orange brown m m s i sorted mine didn t take long get the kids to sort while you heat up the bark i bag of candy corn 1 container of halloween sprinkles melt the almond bark in the microwave i use a giant glass bowl mine almost is to big for the micro i heat it on high about 1 min stir go for another minute and stir until it s melted i get it pretty hot so be careful then i stir in the box of chex and i fold the cereal over and over until it s coating well add in the m m s then get some parchment paper over a couple cookie sheets and spread the mix out until it fills the trays i work fast and sprinkled on the candy corn and sprinkles let it cool and store in ziplocs or plasticware to keep the moisture out this makes enough to fill 2 gallon ziplocs posted by kristen swain at 4 38 pm no comments you can yudu jul 12 2012 whoohoo you can yudu posted by kristen swain edit hey circlet friends kristen here today with a yudu post i know it s been a while since i ve shared something created with my yudu and i m sad about that i love yudu ing i keep trying to get my children s teachers at school to let me print them up some awesome screen printed t shirts but so far no one has asked hopefully next year i can get ahead of them and see if one of the clubs will create some today i decided to show you a colorful and easy way to screen your favorite designs i decided to use a pre made screen and i did mask off some of the screen i simply used some clear packing tape as that is what sticks really well when you mask off your screen you ll want to make sure to mask the back side of the screen this way you won t be pulling against the tape and pulling it when you squeegie the paint here is my screen in the yudu and the three paints i used to create the fun little bag after putting your screen and bag into place place your color on the screen making sure you have a good amount then lift your yudu with the screen and flood fill your screen this fills the empty holes with color and prepares it to go onto your item now pull your squeegie over the image with paint still on it with a firm pressure you can see that the colors barely blend and touch nicely i try to put colors next to each other that would make a nice blend here is what your print looks like isn t that neat i decided to dress it up a bit with glitter then added a couple gems for the crown and a black pearl eye with fabric glue now i did want to try to use the yudu glitter and glue technique so i created a t shirt as well first with my multi color technique when the technique didn t work i used fabric glue to glitter the bird please read on and you can see how the screen turned out even though i goofed and put purple and orange together it did not blend to a yucky brown shew not knowing if the glue would work i tried it out on my t shirt the glue works best through a 70 mesh screen but i wasn t sure what my screen was after i squeegied my glue through i put on the pink foil foil flock and glitter are all applied with the same yudu adhesive i followed the directions and ironed it but the mesh was too fine and didn t hold some of the foil now you might think it s ruined but i say it s an artistic challenge so i took my fabric glue and i swirled and painted with it around the foil and glittered i think the shirt turned out great my daughter loves it and it s quite eye catching there you go hope you have enjoyed my little multi color technique today designed by kristen swain cricut machines used yudu machine yudu supplies used yudu silver gliitter yudu pink foil yudu brights ink yudu secondary ink yudu preburned

take on the think pink challenge i used two different layers of scallops plus glitter and pink first i cut out the bracket piece from the background off this cosmo cricket pixie licious paper then trimmed one part off the side keeping both pieces i cut out the three borders two scallop and one latticework using the elegant cakes cartridge i added them to my bracket piece and trimmed the edges using the cindy loo cartridge i cut out the mushrooms in purple dot and cardstocks matching the paper collection i pieced them together adding glitter to the spots and allowed them to dry overnight in the morning i ran the mushrooms through my cuttlebug with the polka dots embossing folder i cut my paper into a large green block then added my photos to an orange block and added them to my layout i cut the green dot paper with the martha stewart all occasion cakes cartridge first i popped the mushrooms up with foam tabs then added them to my layout i cut two pieces from the grass cut border and adhered them to the mushrooms i cut out this phrase from the cutouts paper making it into a banner adding a large toothpick to the backside and sticking the end underneath my photo block i also foam tabbed the banner to stick up i then cut my title out from cindy loo and adhered that to the top of the layout typing and printing my journaling out on a scrap of cardstock and tucking it sideways along the edge of my photo block to finish i added twine to matching buttons and adhered them to the banner and two mushrooms and i also added on a couple chipboard butterflies from the cosmo cricket chipboard sticker sheet i hope you noticed that i used my cricut cake cartridges in 3 layers plus cut another with the grass border that i trimmed into my own sizes cricut elegant cakes cartridge
