Macabre Monday Emergency Embellies week 2

That's right. You still have a week to enter our current challenge. Do you have a "go to" embellishment that you turn to in a pinch? How about sparkly ribbon or a cool 3D embellishment? Well, try to make a project using only one type of embellishment. Not as easy as you may think. Apparently, Donna likes the googly eyes.   Really though, who doesn't love a good googly eye, or two? Personally, I like brads.  If I have a blank spot to fill, there goes a brad.  I used four diamond brads on this card. Thanks for dropping by today. If you have any questions regarding our projects, or just want  to see more pictures,  please click on the photo  to be taken  to our personal blogs.

Stephen King Knightmare week 2

When you think of Stephen King, what comes to mind? Rabid St. Bernards, scary old clowns, vampires, The Overlook Hotel,  girls with telekinetic powers, ghosts? How about a  creepy  hospital with a  giant anteater roaming the halls?  Maybe even a '58 Plymouth Fury, named Christine? No matter what you think of Mister King, he has been both prolific,  and ground breaking,  in the horror genre. Our second week of Stephen King Knightmares has now begun. Please share your version of a Stephen King title (film, tv, or book) with us. If it isn't obvious, please let us know which title you have chosen  as your muse. Now let's see what the Minions' Knightmares look like, shall we?
