HDH087 Freaker's Free for All!!

This week's challenge at HDH is one of my favorites,

Freaker's Free for all!

What this means is, whatever bizarre, unsavory, unnerving,

bit of strangeness you can muster, just might win you a title!

If you have a project that doesn't really fit any other challenge blog

criteria, we want you!!

That being said, I have a couple of (finally) finished

projects to share with you.

I have added more gourds to my garden.

I love the "Fairy Tale" punkins and always

make a mummy or Jack Skellington every year

out of their sickly white flesh.

More happy Jacks awaiting a new home.

New listings are going up today/tomorrow on Etsy. 

The sTeaMpUnKinS are all fired up and ready to

start chugging along towards Autumn.

And finally, my lovely cherubs.

I am so stoked with how these turned out! I know they are

a bit offensive when my husband (is that thumping I hear?)

is not a fan! Yeah! Mission accomplished!!

Aww! Isn't he just an angel?

So, I'm thinking lapel pins for the smaller ones and this

big guy gets a couple of magnets so he can oversee

the happenings in the kitchen.

Bring out yer dead, your decomposed, your unmentionables!

Just play along with us this week at Haunted Design House!!

morbid details on how she's gonna make you suffer

for a chance at the winnings.

Macabre Monday "Alone in the Dark" challenge

Just popping in between Zombie posts

and showing you what I did for this week's

Macabre Monday - "Alone in the Dark" challenge
at Haunted Design House.

This week is sponsored by our very own Minion,

Teri from Delicious Doodles!

The very first image I ever purchased from Teri was

The Grotesque Gargoyle.

It was fun to color him in, although I did have

a bit of a time with the shading since I chose

to follow along with the dot technique for most of it.

I like the effect it lends to the gargoyle and it's not 

my normal way of shading so I like the new look to

my coloring.  

I have a fondness for gargoyles (yes, another collection)

and I don't find this guy grotesque at all.

Just wanted to put that out there.

Now for a little show and tell.

This is "Drago", named after Billy Drago.

Gargoyle shelf, awesome Pinky Toast framed print

and Haunted Mansion mini replica placard (I have the vulture one also).

Cat gargoyles on an arch, various other 'goyles

and my beloved "Cosmos". 

Thumb sucking cherub gargoyle, mini Gryphon 'goyle,

and fat butt Gargoyle (and "Mos").

And now, back to our regularly scheduled post.

I ended up fussy cutting this Guardian of the Graveyard,

and sticking him in the foreground of a very dark scene

that I found online.

Please join us this week at HDH for our

"Alone in the Dark" challenge

using black or an eerily dark background (c'mon, how easy is that?!)

sponsored by  Delicious Doodles!!

You have until 10:00PM CST Sunday to play.

Summer Zombie preview - London

Today is my final sneak peek of the awesome

Summer Zombies at SBS.

This is my very favorite image from this new line!!

I LOVES me some London!!

Honestly, have you ever seen anyone look

so cute eating a brain burger??

London manages to pull  it off and still

look completely feminine and adorable!

I kept this card pretty simple since I really

wanted London to stand out and be the

main focus. Just some yellow pearls for accent

and a witty sentiment and I'm done! 

I had to come up with a unique sentiment for

this card. This was the best I could manage

that I hadn't seen before.

Betty and Cheri/Graphicat both have both come up with

some really great sentiments that are perfect for all

the zombie images. Check out both of their sites to see

all the different zombie (and non-zombie) sentiments.

So, the big release is tomorrow and then all of the new

Summer Zombies are available for purchase!!! 

Summer Zombie preview - Betty

Today's Summer Zombie sneak peek is...

Zombie Betty!!!!

So fun to make these zombies into

such sweet and colorful cards.

I usually make the hair on characters really

bright and nontraditional, but this time I flipped

the script a bit and made the skin really bright

and left the hair very normal colored. 

I had to throw in a brain, pink this time, and

use it as a center for my fleur. Such a fun accent

for these images.

I'll be back tomorrow for yet another 

Zombie sneak peek, before the long awaited

release on Friday at Simply Betty Stamps.  



Summer Zombie preview - Rio

Nothing says, "Summer fun", quite

like the stench of rotting flesh in the hot sun.

That being said, I have a great card to share with you

today.

This week is full of sneak peeks at the new

Summer Zombie line

at Simply Betty Stamps.

This is Zombie Rio.

How cute is she just relaxing in the sun,

sipping on a cocktail with a tiny brain garnish?!

Too cute!

These new images are great fun to create with

and not just limited to teen cards.

Everyone loves a zombie!!

I'll be back with more peeks later this week!

  

Zombie Invasion

Yup, that's right.

There's a zombie invasion going on over at

Simply Betty Stamps Challenge blog.

This is one of my very favorite zombified characters

from the Zombie line at Simply Betty Stamps.

This is Christian.

I really love the whole black and white image

with a touch of color. I have used red and pink 

as the accent color before, but really love the 

horror feel with the lime green accent.

I also used some brains that I originally made at the

behest  of our fearless leader, Betty.

The whole idea kinda took on a life of it's own and

now I am offering these brains for sale at my Etsy shoppe

to use on all of your zombie themed craft projects. 

Please join in on the zombiliciousness going on over

at the SBS challenge blog, and maybe even win some

killer zombie images of your very own.
