Haunted Design House

We're halfway through our challenge for May so we're here with some more inspiration for you. The theme is May We Have A Quick Word , and we'd like you to create something that either has a word or text on it somewhere, OR create something quick (less than a day from start to finish. Just remember to keep it dark and macabre and sinister. We don't want any of that cutesy mainstream schtuff here, thank you very much! We've had some fabulous entries already, please scroll down to the next post to add your creations to the linky tool.

It's time for a new Monthly Macabre challenge here at the Haunted Design House! Please remember, this challenge is for your darker, gothic, macabre pieces, NOT your sweet and clean and suitable-for-your-pastor's-mother pieces. We understand that in a world of diversity and depth, there has to be some cute, sweet stuff out there, but we simply don't want to see it here. The Minions, despite all appearances to the contrary, are delicate creatures, and insipidly clean and sweet creations turn our perverted little stomachs. So, with that said, our challenge for May is  May we have a quick word?   This month we'd like you to either use some text somewhere on your creation OR make it a quick make - less than a day from start to finish. The Minions' two favourite creations will get to display the May Macabre Masterpiece badge, and at the end of the year the person with the most badges will receive a glorious prize from the Minions. And, each month, the ba...

 Hi all,  Time for more Minion inspiration for our Going Green Challenge,  so  either use the colour green in your project, or go green by recycling, green eyed envie monster ......well I guess you get the idea, just nothing cutesy green, we love to see your darkside of crafting. For this post we had some company in the Dungeon, not many people dare go there, so we had a fun time partying with our Gruesome Guest designers, we were even allowed to get out of our chains for a bit. If you'd like to visit the Dungeon and play with us, all you have to do is make a macabre masterpiece for the Goin Green challenge and link it here , The Minons will vote for the piece they like the most and the 2 Gruesome Twosomes will be allowed to play with us in the Dark Damp Dungeon. Here the awesome projects our doomed guests made (not sure they made it out the Dungeon alive, it's a dangerous place)  Granne  Jessa   next is is the Minions tur...

Are you ready for a new, macabre challenge? The theme for April is Going Green and there are multiple ways to interpret that, as long, of course, as it's also dark and macabre in some way. We don't want anything sweet and cute with spring greenery, bleurgh! You can either use the colour green somewhere in your project (the perfect excuse for zombie skin) OR you can make it about jealousy or envy (the green-eyed monster) OR you can go "green" in the eco-friendly way and up-cycle or re-cycle something.  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. Show us your most gothic, macabre, twisted creations and revel in the...

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.
