Gettin' my Chunk on!

I had never heard of a Chunky ATC until a few months ago,

when fellow Minion Sistah, Donna, suggested it as one of our

upcoming challenges for HDH.

Once I googled it, I was blown away by all of the awesome

options this opened up for the pretty much one dimensional, ATC.

The basic measurements are 2.5" x 3.5" x 1.5". There is some

question as to the actual or official dimensions, but this will do for now.

Once I got my husband to cut some wood down for me, I just sat and looked at

the wood blocks for a few weeks. So many options can really be a 

stumbling block, artistically, sometimes.

I settled for a relatively flat CATC to begin with. 

Might as well cool my jets and see how this works first.

I broke out one of my favorite and probably one of my first 

wood mounted rubber stamp from Silver Crow Creations.

I love a laughing Devil! I mounted him onto a distressed

dictionary page, a Poison label, and an online find. 

Another online find (cutaway of skull) mounted onto

a MS Hallowe'en scrap of paper.

Tim Holtz Hallowe'en kraft card stock with a cracked glass

vintage rat poison label.

MS Hallowe'en paper with some creepy bottles from Itkupilli,

and a jar of money paws from my (imaginary) boyfriend, Ryan's personal

collection. Ryan is on the show "Oddities" on the Science channel, and he is

a master of the "exploding skull" displays. He has an incredible personal

collection of wet and dry specimens, plus all kinds of other cool schtuff.

I'd love to spend a weekend perusing his "collectibles".    

Close up of creepiness.

Another Itkupilli cut out for the top of the ATC.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed my CATC, and maybe

was even inspired enough to try your hand at making your own to enter

in our challenge at Haunted Design House.

Keep it creepy!!! 

  

   

HDH101 Kreepy Kids

Wow, I just want to take a moment and

thank everyone who took the time to hop

with us last week.

We had a really good showing from the

creepier side, and even some "norms" braved the hop as well.

I am glad we could all come together in the name of Vincent.

This week we have what most think, is a fun challenge.

Show us your kreepy kids!

No, not the ones you gave life to, but the ones that reside, neglected

in your craft room. Maybe they didn't start out kreepy, but

I'm sure you can figure out a way to make them

into less than desirable little people.

I did....

Sort of a public service announcement if you will.

Took me a few minutes to come up with the perfect sentiment.

Once I did, everything else fell right into place.

I got these wonderfully wretched images from

Itkupilli. 

Just a little fussy cutting and some pop dots

and this critter is creeped out! 

I have had this wonderful array of horrible images

for quite some time, so I guess that's a destash right there.

I also have a bunch of vintage Hallowe'en images, and some new

"Curio Cabinet Curiosities", that I just had to have. 

I won't wait this long to use them though.

You still have plenty of time to put something

wretched and kreepy together for our challenge this week

at Haunted Design House.

All the kreepy cool kids are doing it!
