Haunted Design House

Better tardy than dead! I am alive, but still a bit "off". Okay a little more "off" than usual. But I did manage to actually produce something for this week's challenge. Bare Bones - no bumpy embellishments or dimensional creations this week. More along the lines of a clean and simple, but cleanliness is not really in my repertoire.   I went with a tag this week, featuring an insane image from Rick St. Dennis . I was inspired to create a tag after watching a Stamp-tember tutorial by Tim Holtz. It was perfect for this "non-dimensional" challenge, and it gave me a reason to use some new stamps and more of my unused Ranger products.  Who doesn't need a Zombie Stripper image?!!! Isn't she just wonderfully wretched?! I have a few RSD digis from last years designs, but he has come out with so many new and horribly twisted Hallowe'en themed images this season. I picked up a few more, with plenty still on my w...

That's right. No rhinestones, no pearls, no ribbons, no chipboard. Pretty much a clean and simple layout. It doesn't have to be a single layer card, but no bumpy bits. Now it's time to check out what the Minions have created this week. First up, is our September  guest DT   Lady Brayton My name is Angela Brown aka "Lady Brayton" (or Lady B). Lady Brayton is my stripper name, but since I have neither the body nor the talent to strip, I have made it my crafting name. I've been drawing and coloring ever since I could hold crayons and I've been cutting and pasting ever since I learned to use sci...

Due to my (un)healthy obsession with television and my (un)natural love of my DVR, I am officially a TV junkie. I record so much TV every week, but I do manage to watch some really cool and strange and funny shows that I would probably miss if I had to rely on the antiquated way of watching TV. One of my favorite shows to watch is " Lost Girl " on Syfy channel. At first I wasn't feelin' it, as it started right after " Being Human " and I had a hard time transitioning from werewolves and vampires, to the world of the light and the dark Fae. Huh? Isn't that the premise for " True Blood "?  Anyhoo, as result of my having a girl crush on "Kenzie" (the main character's sidekick),  I was inspired for this week's challenge. Yup! That was me!!     "Who are you callin' a Succubus?!"   What exactly IS a Succubus you ask? In folklore traced back to medieval legend, a succubus (plura...
