It's March, and that means that it's time for a new Monthly Macabre Monday. YAY! Now, here in the dungeon, the Naughty Corner is always full of misbehaving Minions, so we chose that as the theme for this month's challenge. What does it mean in practical terms? You can either make a naughty project, or a project about someone or something who's been misbehaving or create something with corners, or decorate the corners. We LOVE to see all the different interpretations that people come up with. The Minions' two favourite creations get to display the March Macabre Masterpiece badge Remember, the person who gets the most badges by the end of the year will receive a glorious prize from the Minions, AND if you win one of the monthly challenges, you get a chance to be a Gruesome Guest Designer for the next challenge. Speaking of Gruesome Guest Designers, this month we've been joined by Teresa  and Laila this month, as their projects were the ones that most wowed the M...

Here some more LOVE/HATE  inspiration from the Minions, they were allowed off their chains just long enough to create you some creepy projects.  You all know we Minions are allergic to cute, pink and fluffy so please don't enter traditional Valentines stuff in the Love/Hate challenge, just make it bloody, scary, gothic, creepy, twisted and dark. Trust me you don't want to risk being haunted by the Minions for entering traditional "nice"Valentine projects.......let's keep things creepy OK? This was what the Minions came up with this time.... Creepy Glowbugg decided it was time to change this little Cupid into something amazingly devlish   this is much better if you ask me ......  Temptress of Terror Teri created an awesome digital piece,......or should I say Dish...... think this picture made you all hungry...it did make the Minions drool. Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Mo altered a plastic frame and a broken heart of glass int...

Yup, it's February again, and you know what that means, right? The entire rest of the world goes ga-ga over love and sweetness and pink and cherubs. Frankly, we in the Dungeon are too twisted and dark to put up with that malarkey, so instead our February challenge is It's A Love/Hate Thing This means that you can make it about love or hate, OR use something you love, or something you hate. We're always open to interpretation, but PLEASE nothing sweet and insipid or we'll have to burn it. Seriously. No traditionally "nice" Valentine cards, ok? Make it gothic, make it creepy, make it beautifully twisted and dark and you'll receive so much Minion love that you'll need to get checked out for communicable diseases. Remember, we're now monthly and you can enter up to three macabre creations each month. The Minions have been busy creating pieces for your pleasure and inspiration, so without further ado, here they are. First up, Menace of the M...

We thought we'd bring you some more inspiration for our  What's new, pussycat?  challenge. Remember the theme will always be open to interpretation - you can use a new technique, or some new stash, or make it about cats, OR any kind of "new" theme. New moon, new start, new year, newly dead, new anything at all. You can link your creations HERE  (or just scroll down to the next post) and you have until the 1st of Feb to enter. And now for some inspiration from the Minions! Temptress of Terror Teri A wonderful kitty and (I think) a new stamp from Teri. Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Mo A new technique for Mo, and I don't even know what this is called, but check out her blog for details Spreader of Sickness Susan I've also gone for cats, and the newly undead. And we have some long-overdue winners to announce - the Gruesome Twosome from last year! We had some amazing entries throughout the year, and we'd really like to thank you all for pl...

Oh yes, the Minions are back, and it's been getting a bit fetid in the dungeon, so we're all itching to get out and share our creations. Are you ready to celebrate the macabre with us again? The Minions have created some AMAZING creations to inspire you, but before we get on to that, we have a few changes to announce. We're now going to be running just one challenge a month , starting on the first Monday of every month and running until just before the next month's challenge. Monthly Macabre Mondays, because we do love a bit of alliteration.  We're not going to have any sponsors, but the Minions will pick their favourite Macabre Masterpiece from the entries each month, and that person will receive a unique badge. At the end of the year, the person who has won the most badges will be lauded as the greatest mortal in the land and will receive a selection of gifts from the Minions in recognition of your work. The challenges will be relatively open to interpretatio...

Welcome back for week 2 (and BTW, the last challenge of the year for the Minions) Hellacious Hallowe'en (Hadults Honly) You know how we love Halloween here, and this fortnight we're looking for  Halloween-themed  projects this time around. Pretty much anything Halloween but absolutely nothing cute or child-friendly. That means ANYTHING SCARY, MORBID, CREEPY, MACABRE.....  OR JUST DOWN RIGHT WICKEDLY WRONG!!! . NO cute stuff, please.  We can't stomach that stuff down here in the DUNGEON.. we minions need our fix of fiendish Hallowe'en fun.. We also tend to go into hibernation after the Most Wonderful Night of the Year, needing to rest up and refuel for another 10 months of mayhem and debauchery starting again in January 2015. Check out what the rest of the Minions did. Devilishly Deviant Donna Contagion of Corrosion Croms  Creepy Glowbugg
