Ok... FINALLY! The Gruesome Twosome for HDH012 , Garishly Gleaming Glitter is:  Nadine for all of the glittery goo & sparkly trees, and Nans for a Day of the Dead beauty!  The Gruesome Twosome for HDH013 , Bizarre Beauty School Dropout is:  Linda aka Oz (again!) for her crazy skeleton beauty, and Susan for her permed, red-lipped salon client gone bad.  These made me laugh as soon as I saw them...

Have you missed me?!  I have been locked in my creative dungeon today, so I can actually share something new ;)  Can I just say, I love Torrente stamp images?  So demented looking... fiendish, really.  LOVE THEM .  I know, I know... if you've been to my " normal " blog, you are probably wondering how I can create a whimsical little snowman card one day, and say that I'm in love with Torrente images the next.  Well, that's just how I roll.  Yes... I AM the same person... ;) Stamps:   Moth Fab (Torrente), sentiment (The Angel Company - TAC) Paper:   Penelope (orange) & basic black cardstocks (TAC), misc. white & green cardstocks Ink  Palette Noir Other:   Copic markers, Crystal Lacquer , MS spider web punches, misc. ribbon I took a ton of pictures of this one... I was trying to show my Copic coloring.  I've got a handful of them, and am still a bit clumsy with markers. I used Crystal Lacquer on Moth Fab'...

...well, it's basically over.  I am a bit sad.  There were hardly ANY tricker-treaters this year... I MEAN, hardly.  With all of the grade schools doing the trunk-r-treating thing, and then there is the mall... it's all become a one-stop-candy-shop scene.  I did get a few cuties... a little ladybug that would make your heart melt, several princesses, a few witches {ahhhh... my kindred spirits :)}, a couple of alligators... My favorite was a dad and son that dressed up like Dr. Evil and Mini-me... I didn't know if I would ever stop smirking... too darn cute!  They even had the scars.  I was glad to see so many parents dress up WITH their kids... those groups were the ones laughing and carrying on the most. As promised, a few shots of the house via candlelight... enjoy :)
