Macabre Monday HDH068 - Octopodally Ominous

By -
HDH Macabre Monday Rules:
1. Create a dark and macabre SOMETHING (card, scrap page, altered item, whatever) that follows the specific Macabre Monday challenge given. Cutesy is fine, but creepy is better :)
2. You have until the following Sunday night @ 5pm central time to post your creation and please leave a direct-link back here.
3. If you upload to any online galleries (TACPCC, S&S, PCP, SCS, etc.), please tag the title using HDH068.
4. Weekly giveaways! Some weeks will be loaded with loot, others not-so-much... but the thrill is in the win, right?! Some prizes shall be by random drawing, others hand picked... and I'm not telling you ahead of time :)
5. I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twosome (my top two favorite creations) from all the players. At the end of every month these will be compiled and a Master of Macabre will be selected and will receive a little giftie from me... this could be stamp sets, handmade items, papers, halloweenie embellishments... you just never know.


Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:

Octopodally Ominous
You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween project / card using EXACTLY 8 items. Every little thing counts... card base, image panel, every gem, ribbon, sentiment, etc!!  This may be harder than you think ;)  No cheating on this one!


This week is sponsored by Lily from Octopode Factory!!  Lily has kindly offered up $10 to spend in her shop to this week's winner!  And yes, when you start looking around at all of her fab images, you are going to want them all... just ask Macabre Minion Donna how many she's got ;)

Check out what Donna and the other Macabre Minions have in store for your viewing pleasure... we were lucky enough to work with some of Lily's awesome images ahead of time!

Macabre Mistress Lynx:
Geared-up steampunk... perfect, Lynx!


Creepy Cricut Cween Donna:
More steampunks... gotta love 'em in aqua!


Digital Demon-ess Susan:
What's the back-story to this one, Susan?  I'm diggin' it already :)


Chaotic Creepy Glowbugg:
Which one of these kids is not like the others?  LOVE this holiday card!
:)

Fabulous work from my Macabre Minions... not surprising, right?!
I'll be back later this week with my offering...
... I've got TWO done for this challenge!
:)

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.
