Haunted Design House

The gals from The Burtonesque Dolls , Simply Betty Stamps and Simply Betty Challenges blogs figured it was a good time to put together a blog hop of our very own: SIMPLY BETTY. This hop is ALLLLLLLLLLLLL about Betty and since October is Betty's favorite month (as it should be!) and there are sooooo many exciting things happening, why not do it just before?!!  This way we can get things warmed up for the whole October and Halloween theme.  Kinda like an appie!!  And since Halloween is her favorite time of year you will be seeing mostly, if not all Halloween cards and we have used only Betty Emo's images.   For my tribute to Betty, of course I HAD to use the Witchy Betty stamp!  After all, Betty just happens to be my Halloweenie Soul Sistah :)  I am sooooooo glad we found each other via the WWW.  She is just one of the sweetest gals around... pairing that with the fact that she has some sah-weet stamps & digis... and then throw the whole...

Freakin' finally , right?  I stayed up late last night finishing this little baby off.  I've seen step cards around for awhile now, and just never tried one out... this HDH052 challenge gave me the perfect reason to do one :)  I mean, sometimes it's tough to get three or more images on one card unless you have just a little bit more room to work with :) Have I told you lately that I LOVE my MS grass border punch?!  I think that is clear on this little graveyard scene! I stamped the iron gate on a transparency and then glued it at the bottom & covered it with another grass strip to conceal it.  Works well me thinks! I'm not sure you can tell, but there are a bunch of little stars in the night sky that I made with a glitter pen. How do you like the kitty hiding behind the grass?  That would be a " whoopsie-turned-wonderful ".  I took a marker to color the white around his whiskers green, so that it would blend a bit.  UGH!  Do NOT...

Welcome to the second ever Haunted Design House Macabre Monday challenge ! Since I'm new to this whole challenge-hosting-thing, please bear with me while I figure it all out :) HDH Macabre Monday Rules: 1. Must have fun and not stress. 2. Create a Halloweenie SOMETHING (card, scrap page, altered item, whatever) that follows the specific Macabre Monday challenge given. Cutesy Halloween is fine, but creepy is better :) However, no extra 'points' are given either way. 3. You have until the following Sunday night @ 5pm central time to post your creation and linky back here. 4. If you upload to any online galleries (PW, PCP, SCS, etc.) , please tag the title using HDH002 . 5. Starting in September, I'll have monthly contest giveaways... more details to follow. So for these next couple of weeks, you're going to be doing this for the sheer joy of it ;) 6. I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twosome (my top two favorite creations) from all the players. ...
