Creepmas: Favorite Hexmas stamps

I did actually make it back today! Yay me!
I wanted to share a couple of cards I have been working on
for Creepmas, or as I like to call it as of late,
"HEXMAS"!

One of the coolest and quirkiest rubber stamp artists
in my opinion is, Daniel Torrente who designs for

I have amassed quite the Torrente collection over the last few years.

They are all my babies, and I love them all equally!
Probably my favorite line of rubber ever! 

This is "Snowman".
Kinda creepy, yet passable to the masses as just 'primitive".

My absolute favorite holiday sentiment ever
from the creative genius of


This is "Global Warming".
Nuff said.

I've got a cookie swap to get ready for tomorrow, so
off I go to the dungeon (a.k.a. my kitchen) to make 5 dozen
Oreo Truffle Balls! Mmmmmm, ...Oreo Truffle balls!!!

Nom! The Zombied Angels Groan...

Well I kinda fell off the Creepmas bandwagon
didn't I?
Life has really gotten in the way lately, but I am back!
I'm gonna ease into Creepmas again with a little collection
I have been working on over the past year.

Zombie Angels!!!!

Just look at my handsome boys!

So precious!

I cannot express my sheer joy when I am hunting for
sculptures at the local thrift store, and run across a
perfect angel!!!!
This is my tree topper this year.

I'm not sure how long the husband is going to tolerate
my Zombie Angel display atop the mantel, so I thought I 
should snap some pics of the kids before they go back into the 
barrister bookcase. Gotta keep a lid on these guys.

CREEPMAS: Day 5

Nom, nom, nom!
Merry Creepmas!!!!

Today I received some happy mail to help ease the
sting of being destitute this holiday. Grrrrr!

I got a package from my dear friend, Deb at
On Cupcake Moon.

Deb creates (by hand-the old fashioned way) the most adorable
little images perfect for party favors, invites,
business cards, mugs, shirts, etc!!!
Both my business cards and mailing labels have her "Reaper"
design on them! I LOVE the Reaper!! 

So, the second I heard she was making Holiday designs
with a creepy flair, I was all in!
Looks like I got some extra goodies too!

Who doesn't need cool/cute gift tags for the holidays?
These would be cute as little ornaments too!

 I ordered Creepmas cards in three designs with a custom printed
sentiment inside.
The one with the skull snowflakes is perfect to go with my 
Skullflake ornaments!!!!
And how yummy does that Gingerdead man look?

So, if you are in need of cool printables for the holidaze
or any occasion check out

CREEPMAS: Days 3 and 4

Had a bit of a crappy week, so I have fallen behind on my
Creepmas posts.
My husband's work truck was stolen from in front of our house
Friday. All of his personal tools are gone!
Well over $2000 worth of his livelihood, STOLEN!
The truck was recovered later in the day, but now my husband's
awesome schmuck of an employer has scheduled him
OFF WITHOUT PAY for the entire coming week
as a finishing turd in the punchbowl to this wonderful experience!
Oh! And a Merry Hexmas to you too!
*&!$#@!!!

Anyhoo,
I did put together a couple of clean and simple cards to get my head
out of the depressive fog.

I absolutely LOVE this stamp!!

I picked this image up at Paper Makeup Stamps.
But I did get a smashing deal on some fabulous stamps.  

I used Kraft stock and a cute rotating stamp
that has a bunch of holiday sentiments on it.
I thought "Naughty or Nice" was fitting.

I'll get my head in the game and will be back for the
remaining 9 Days of Creepmas.

13 Days of Creepmas: Day 2

The cold weather here in Northern California has finally hit.
First we had some fog, but now the icy searing winds have
blown all the fog away to reveal gorgeous blue skies
and a bright sun!

Sounds like soup time to me!!!


Fresh, homemade Turkey noodle barley soup!
The only way to creepen it up a bit was to serve it
in these awesome skull bowls!

My little cherub friend doesn't care much for soup.

He's just having a little sniff to make sure it's still fresh.
Never can be too cautious with  your raw brains.

Bone Appetit!!
