Wretched Wednesday - Can I quote you on that?

Image
Welcome to another Wretched Wednesday !! Up first are last week's chosen ones, the Gruesome Twosome for the Evil Empire challenge. Congratulations to Crom and Kristy Lee I know both of you ladies already have the badge so, thank you for playing and we look forward to seeing what creations you will come up with next. This week's challenge is all about quotes . I am a big fan of the written word and I really enjoy a good, thought provoking, or witty little quip worth repeating. In my head, that's a good quote. I have a couple of books of quotations and many notebooks of quotes that I have enjoyed and jotted down over the years. Mae West was always good for a smart citation. I chose just one of her many zings, and matched it with this great zombie chick from Simply Betty's PCP site . I decided to keep the colors bright and cheery to give it a springtime feel despite the bloody connotations. I had so much fun with this one, that I may just h...

Macabre Monday HDH090 Necro Neck Wear

As soon as I heard HDH was being sponsored this week by none other than the uber wicked, Kustom Kaskets , I knew exactly what I wanted to create for the challenge. The "Necro Neck wear" challenge is to create a piece of  original  artwork that may be chosen as a new design for Kustom Kaskets , and they will also make the winning design into a pendant for one lucky wiener!!! How cool, right?!  Earlier this week, I debuted a re purposed piece of religious sculpture that turned out quite awesome. My dear friend and  fellow team mate, Andrea, popped my Zombie Buddha into an ornate frame and I must admit, I would totally rock this piece!!!        I actually did come up with an original piece of art to submit for this challenge as well. I bought this adorable little 3" x 3" canvas and easel a while back and thought it was the perfect size for this challenge. I realize it may be a bit large for an ac...

Weak Ticket Wednesday

Welcome to Weak Ticket Wednesday! I am your hostess with the mostess Creepy Glowbugg. This week's Macabre Monday challenge is Hacked to Bits . Now I thought long and hard about this for a while, and kinda just figured it would come to me as I needed it to, but it didn't.  I DO like my card, and technically it DOES fit the challenge... Well, Hello Freddy!!! I guess I could say that the hacking and the shredding is implied, given it is Freddy we're talking about here. How bleepin' cute is this though? Looks like another possible tattoo design to me. Join us for this week's "Hacked to Bits" challenge. You have until Sunday night at 10:00 PM CST. 

A big THANKS and Alas, Poor Yorick... ala Barb

Thanks so much to everyone for their wonderful birthday wishes!  And even though I commented on the Minions blogs, I want to thank them here, too... you guys are awesome!  Not just because of the fantabulousness that has been retrieved from my mailbox as of late (which IS pretty effing awesome by the way), but for all the inspiration you guys give me and to all of our readers here at HDH! So here is my warm-fuzzy moment: You are the dank to my dungeon, the ooze to my swamp, and the screams to my banshees :) Love ya' ghouls! And now, back to our regularly scheduled post: After seeing what the Macabre Minions created for this week's challenge, I don't know if I should even post my puny little card... wasn't Creepy Glowbugg's mask effing awesome?! And what about Lynx's skully goodness?  I'd like to put in my request for my very own glow-in-the-dark eyeball please :) Thanks. Well. Here it is. My no-layer card! Yep... that's right. Only the kraft car...

On this day...

... our Masterful Mistress was born. Happiest of Birthday wishes to you Barb!! Yup, yup, yup! Today is Barb's birthday!!! And not just any birthday either. Shhh.... she's fifty. I mean forty!!!! Either way it's gonna hurt. On behalf of all of the Minions, I'd like to wish you a simply glorious day filled with good friends, good family, and a little YOU time. I cannot leave without one last dig. "Sag! You're it!"
