Mutinous Monday...

Whoops... almost forgot to post something today!  Rush rush rush... this time of year is exhausting.  So, take a little breather and have a gander at this:

This card is from one of my recent Copic Classes I taught at The Scrapbook Page in Shawnee, Kansas.  I LOVE this Sweet Pea image from Anna Marine!  Paired with that black/red paper = awesome!

She looks so much better in person... my camera isn't the best.

I sprayed the rolled flowers with Black Gold Glimmer Mist for a subtle shimmer.  And then there is that fan-freakin'-tastic black velvet/crochet trim from May Arts... just one more addiction I have now developed!

Mutinous Monday...

Just a few more weeks and the Minions will be back!  Until then, here is a little sumpin' sumpin' from the Mistress:

All of the stamps used here are/were from The Angel Company.  I cut up a large collage stamp that had a vintage chick on it with a totally f'd up face... the border and the sentiment was pretty cool, so viola!  I even did a little heat embossing on this baby.

I paper-pieced the chair fabric for a little POP o' color... regal purple... mmmmmmm... this makes me think of True Blood's former King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington for some reason.

Though Russell was not a looker (helloooooo Eric... I miss you), he definitely had that royal air about him.  Not to mention his style of furnishings:

Anyway... back to the grind... I need to work on my class samples, but I'm probably just going to veg in front of the tv.  Gotta work at the Evil Job tomorrow... dammit.  

Question of the day:  Why can't someone just pay me to HDH all day?  (sigh)

HDH Mutinous Monday #004 and a little housekeeping...

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 ;)

HDH Mutinous Monday #003...

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?

HDH Mutinous Monday #002

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?

2011 Mutinous Monday #001

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 pink really creates a truly non-traditional Halloween card, but it works!

And here's a favorite of the class:

It would have been 100x better if I would've had my Tim Holtz raven die at the time instead, but this bird worked out ok.  And there's the infamous MS Grass punch... what did I ever do without it?

 

Moxxie's Feelin' Vine paper... LOVE!  I created the fence with the Scor-Pal and a MS Iron Gate edge punch... turned out pretty awesome me thinks.... simple and detailed at the same time.

That's it for today, but the Minions and I will still be posting random bits now and then... they may be fortuitous, frivolous, fanciful or foul, but you'll want to check back often :)  You just never know when I will be in a random-prize-winner-from-the-comments kind of mood for the next couple of months... hmmm...

**One more thing... we are now gladly taking sponsors for the 2012 HDH Macabre Monday challenge calendar!  Just send a note to The Masterful Mistress via email (link located in the sidebar).
