Macabre Monday #010 - Bubble Bubble Toil & Trouble...

By -
Ok, so I still haven't picked the Gruesome Twosome this week... I'm hoping to do that tonight, so be watching for that post :)

Here is my take on the ingredients challenge:  green, black, purple &/or tan in color,  and something round & shiny

See... told ya' it was going to be a super-simple one!  I found the metal container in the $1 spot at Target like TWO FREAKIN' YEARS AGO!  Yep... I've had it in my pit of studio this whole time.  It was already painted black with the shiny metal lid, so all I did was add a little patterned paper, fuzzy skull rub-ons, and a little stamped cardstock, and BOOM... done.

Stamps (all TAC):  So Splattered (retired), Label Lingo (Hostess Level D set)
Paper:  Bo-Bunny dp, kraft & black cardstocks (TAC)
Ink:  StazOn & Palette
Other:  flocked rub-on kit from Making Memories, Target container


I stamped splatters on the lid with StazOn & then heat-set it (just in case)... we'll see how it holds up.  I'm thinking I like this cannister for a "you've been boo'd" kinda thing... or just as a giftie container in general.

What do you think?

You know what they say about those Target containers don't you.. they come with so much excess baggage and bad vibes that you have to let them air and season for a year or two before you dare use them anyway! Oh yeah, that is what I heard anyhoo!

Love what you have done here, might be simply but I say simply devine! Linda aka Oz

Welcome to the Little Hop of Horrors Halloween Blog Hop... If you've arrived here from Nicole's blog , then you are on the right track!  Nicole has assembled quite the not so little gathering of goul-friends for a fiendishly fun hop, with the opportunity to win some awesome loot to boot!  Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post for a few details :) Now, it's not a secret that I AM a Halloween fan (uh, hello.... what's the name of this blog again?).  This time of year is my favorite:  cool autumn air, crunchy Fall leaves, pumpkins, and creepiness... what's not to love?!  Well, to start things off, I've created this no-frills, but frighteningly fun Halloween card using a couple of new digi's from Simply Betty Stamps that will be available starting tomorrow... sorry blood-suckers, not today :) This is Damien & Spiderella.  I like to imagine Damien is a newly turned vampire whom by chance of fate comes upon Spiderella... a veteran vamp who'...

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 ...

Holy Hell, it's Halloween!

Yay, it's October, and for the Minions that means Halloween celebrations. Our theme for this month is simply (grotesque, macabre and creepy) Halloween, but remember that we don't do cute and cuddly here. We want only your freakiest, most macabre and gothic creations.  We do tend to get interlopers entering here with cute pumpkin cartoons because they see Halloween and assume we have the same rules as everywhere else. The Minions will mutter curses over any unsuitable entries, so beware! And now we have our inspiration pieces. Fangtasmagorical Fiona Menace of the Monstrous Mark Devilishly Deviant Donna Seriously Sick Susan I'm not sure what's happening with the linky this month - if it isn't here when you enter, just leave a comment with a link. ( OOps  it was a bit late ) There's no random number generator winners here anyway, the Minions look at every entry and vote on their favourites, so it doesn't matter where you leave you...
