Please stop by my Etsy shop and see what I have to offer for the cool kid on your holiday shopping list ! Who doesn't need a new sparkly skull ornament this year? Timeless color combo perfe ct for any occasion and any ensemble! Every girl needs a little zombie sweetness in her accessories this season! Use coupon code: HDHROCKS and receive a 15% discount!

First up... for those that have won prizes and have NOT received them, please email the Mistress:  barbi007@kc.rr.com ... she is obviously slipping :) Next... Mutinous Monday!  I totally forgot about posting this way back when SBS released the Halloween Steampunks...dammit!  Better late than never, I guess: Meet Draco .  LOVE him!  I can't find him in the SBS store, but the link takes you to the section in which he should be found.  The others in that line are pretty awesome, too!  The sentiment here is from Pink By Design's A Haunting We Will Go .  Martha's Scarey Fence & Grass edge punches and a little Echo Park Apothescarey paper line finishes this off. I'll have more Mutinous Mondays for you, however I am up to my pumpkins with classes & holiday activities for the remainder of the year!  I seriously don't remember life being this busy a few years ago... it sucks to be a grown-up sometimes ;)

I was horribly influenced by Cindy Brady's speech impediment whilst growing up. I just can't shake it! Makes me laugh everytime! Anyhoo, Creepy Glowbugg here to hock my wares!

I'll say it...  I miss my Macabre Minions! Yep, I can't wait for the new year so we can get our creep on again :) Until then, how about a little sumpin' sumpin' from The Masterful Mistress of the Macabre? Since the next installment of the Twilight Saga premiered this week, I thought I'd share this little gem: Do you get the Twi-vibe?  Well, at least a little Gothic-vampy thing anyway. I just love the stick pins and that FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC blood-red rosette ribbon... yummy.  And do you see the tiny token spider in the corner?  Kinda cute :) What do you think?

Whoops!  Almost didn't make it :)  So, just a super-quick post tonight... I { bleeding heart } my new Tim Holtz Sizzix dies! Lookie: ( Candlelight Fright and Mini Bat & Skull Set ) More of that Moxxie Midnight Dreary line... I hope you're not sick of that yet, because I will be using it a lot more >:) Anyway, super-simple card, but it definitely rates a "me likey"... no?

Well, a Voodoo image on a card, anyway.  I had been wanting to color up this Delicious Doodles image F.O.R.E.V.E.R. and just never found the time.  Well, lookie: Isn't she wondermous ?  I love this image, even if the rest of the card is just "ok"... Teri, I want to draw like you when (if?) I grow up :)  I think the next time I color her up, I'll go all " Hell's fire " on her... flame hair and all... ooooooo, me likey. Don't you just LOVE that one stick pin... ouch... are you trying to say something, Teri?  Were you miffed at the hubby or something?!  :) That's it for today, stalkers... I hope you enjoyed it! What do you think?

That's right folks... it's the first Mutinous Monday from the Macabre Minions!  The Minions need a little R&R and have declared mutiny until 2012, so no challenge this week... but I still wanted to give you a little sumpin' sumpin' to satiate your HDH appetite :) I even posted on my "normal" blog last night if you want more mainstream :)  Yes... I've been busy.  Anyway, back to a little wickedness... First up, the last couple of cards from my Halloween card class back in September: You can't tell, but there is some DELIGHTFULLY sinful, black-velvet crocheted trim from May Arts on the tag... yummy.  And of course, more of that awesome Midnight Dreary line of paper from Moxxie:  Tomb it May Concern & Dead on Arrival .  I rolled a paper rose and finished it off with a dew drop center... LOVE it. Quite elegant, no?  The top half of this 12x12 paper has a pinkish hue and blended together with the bottom half's greenish hue.  The salmon...

I have been trying all week long to make something uber creative and awesome for the final challenge of October here at Haunted Design House. The challenge is "Heinously Haunted Houses". I live in a house that I have decorated and staged to give the appearance of hauntedness all year long. I prefer, "Apothecary Chic". Just your everyday mantle decor. The framed print is one of my newest acquisitions. It is a signed and numbered print from the brilliant artist, Leontine Greenberg . It is a painting of a Skeksis from The Dark Crystal . Mmmmmm? Hmmmm? I adore this piece! I did try to create some really cool houses from wood, but they turned to crap in my hands.  I think my mojo has left the building. So I returned to a project I was working on earlier this year, but never got around to actually finishing.  A nice little "Welcome" plaque for your foyer or front door. This is a completely handmade plaque. The coffin shape is cut from MDF board, and th...

Fantastic work by the Minions & participants so far!  I am LOVING this challenge :)  But as usual, I ran out of time to play, so I've got a couple more cards to show you from my class that I taught in September... and yes, one actually fits the challenge ;P This one uses another Midnight Dreary paper by Moxxie (Dead on Arrival)... LOVE it.  I trimmed up a tree diecut (Tim Holtz) and added a bit o' ribbon. Here's my challenge card :)  More MD Moxxie paper & another Tim Holtz die (rickety house), and a MS fence punch. This shows the dimension a little better (pop-dots are my friends), but the lighting is off.  I kinda like it :) Well kids, you've got one more day to join in on the HDH113 Heinously Haunted Houses challenge for a chance to win a fun little prize pack.  Got haunts?
