Kylie's Spooky Halloween Care Package

I really haven't forgotten about my blog!  We went to Palm Springs last week to attend my husband's Aunt Lynn's wedding.  It was warm and beautiful!!  Plus, I am studying to take a PRAXIS exam in December.  I am so sad that I didn't plan an October Kit of the Month, because Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!!  On a fun note, I did finish my daughter's care package and gave it to her while we were in Palm Springs.  Here are some pictures of some of the fun items inside.  Since I didn't create a kit, just send me a note if you would like directions for any of the projects.  :)  I'll post pictures of the close ups on Tuesday, plus the final packaging. 

The start of Kylie's college Halloween Spooky care package.  (She has two roommates, so I added three of some projects.  I would hate for them to feel left out.  I even included a little Halloween toy for her sweet puppy, Henry.)

Stepped Up Tricky Treats Holder

I finished playing around with my treat holder and I must say, I'm pretty pleased.  My daughter recommended some sparkle, so I found my shimmer paint and used a dauber to highlight the spider web.  I also added a Pumpkin Pie glimmer brad to the top of the tag.  I wanted to raise up the 'Eeek!', so I used the Bitty Banner Framelits and cut out the saying and popped it up with a Dimensional.  Let me know what you think of this stepped up version.

Treat Holder Prototype...

Have you ever thought of something that looked so cool in your head and then as soon as you tried to recreate it, well... let's just say it doesn't turn out like you thought.  I bought these $1 tins from Target and I had these great hopes for them, but the tops are just a little too hard to cover.  So... I came up with another idea.  I bought some yummy sounding Rootbeer Float gum and used the Top Note die to create a cover.  I wanted to use my Tricky Treats stamp set, so I thought the Spider Web embossing folder would be really cool on the front.  Here is the finished project, but I'm still not sure its what I want to go with for my swap... It just seems to need a little something else.
