Haunted Design House

Yep, it's time for another Simply Betty Double Whammy Release Blog Hop! Victorian Beauties Halloween , the last SBS Halloween line of the year ... { sniff sniff... throat choking up... chin quivering... tear falling } ...and a little Thanksgiving  Jude & His Shenanigan Crew . Betty is doing the giveaway for this hop a little differently, so you should start at Simply Betty Stamps first to get all of the details & what to include in your comment... of course we all LOVE comments, but the giveaway will be drawn from the SBS blog :) If you've arrived from Angela's blog , then you are on the right track! First up, we have Mikey & Lizzie from Jude & His Shenanigan Crew Thanksgiving :)  Yes, I know... they are TERRIBLY cute, and NOT creeped out at all.  Does it count that I originally was going to put a HUGE SCARLET LETTER "A" on Lizzie's bodice?!  ;)  Kinda cheeky, me thinks... but I held back... for once :) Digi's:  Mikey & Lizzie from...

Lol, I love this suitcase sticker, available from TheCheeky.com . Here's the official blurb from the company Take a stand against monotonous travel with Suitcase Stickers. Designed to stick to anything, they will draw attention to your bag making it easily identifiable and sure to make you some new friends. Caution: Some of these stickers may cause offense to airport and immigration staff. But you would have figured that out whilst enjoying those cavity searches.

Yeay!  I managed to finish a challenge before the next one started :) This is Vampyress from Delicious Doodles ... one of the Teri's earlier darkside images, and I must say that is still one of my absolute faves ! (sorry about the sucky photos, folks... I need a light tent or something) Now y'all know that I'm not one that uses red a lot in my papercrafting.  Well, the last three cards I made this week... all use red.  Un-freakin'-believable.  I mean you really MUST use red with a vamp, right? She's colored with Copics:  0, BV20, C00, N1, N4, N7, R24, R29, R37, R59 I did her hair with Stardust glitter pens in silver, clear & red.  The Scor-bug & white ink, MS edge punch & some grey satin ribbon finishes it off. In real life, her gown looks awesome!  These photos just don't show it well, so you'll have to take my word for it ;) So, I finished my challenge card... have you?  Perfect time to play AND have a chance to get som...

Ok my little pretties, until I get my Delicious Doodles card made up tonight, please hop on over to my "normal" blog for a couple delightfully eerie-elegant projects :)
