Yes, I know Halloween is 5 months away, but...

OMG OMG OMG! I have a new love... Black Magic ColorCore Cardstock by core'dinations. It is quite possibly the most perfect cardstock for all that is Halloween. I just got it today and had to do something with it! This is not my best work, but I love it anyway because it uses one of my all time favorite (retired, dang it!) TAC stamp sets: Haunted. Isn't the house awesome? The sentiment is TAC's Happy Haunting (current), Noir & Water Lilly Green Palette inks, DCWV card base, some misc. funky orangy-yellow cardstock, Cuttlebug embossing folder, and a ripped strip of cotton (old pillow case).


So what do you think?

Seriously - you're making me look bad. I don't even know if the ink was dry yet on that cardstock before you started working with it!! Heeee. I love it - it is fantastic. I suppose I'll have to go pick up a pack of it myself. E.N.A.B.L.E.R.!!!! E.V.I.L.

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.
