HDH069-Colorblind Christmas

After typing that title, for some reason the song 'Snowblind', by KISS, popped in my head.  Just wanted to share that.

Here's my entry for the very last Macabre Monday of 2010.  The challenge this week is to create a dark, spooky, gothic, alternative, or creepy Christmas card, without using a stitch of red or green. Being that I'm not a huge fan of red and green together, I loved this challenge.  Well, I love them all, but you know what I'm sayin-

Here she is!  This is Tootsie, from Simply Betty Stamps Punky Teens Hallowe'en digis.  I took a cue from a Creepy pal of mine and used her on a Christmas card, being that I didn't use her this Hallowe'en season.  She looks like she's screaming something, so let it snow came to mind.  Being that I live in the valley of Northern California, snow is something we never see unless we wanna drive up the freeway 50 or so miles.  So, Tootsie is doing her snow dance.  I used this awesome white glitter paper I found at the Bullseye, but as soon as you touch it glitter is EVERYWHERE.  I came out of my craft room lookin like a Cullen, or a stripper, whichever you prefer. =)  This is the last Haunted Design House challenge of the year, so go on over and join in the fun.  You know you wanna.  Merry Christmas!

Santa Baby...

Still knocking out Christmas cards.  No challenge this week, just wanted to start using my new images.  Oh look! Here's one now--

This is the digi 'Mistletoe', by the faboo Kenny K.  I'm becoming quite infatuated with his sexy lady digis.  My husband is starting to wonder if I'm heading over to the other side..ha ha. Kenny has a Xmas package going on right now, so I jumped on it, and hopefully I can get good use out of all my new girls by the end of the season. 

SBS 12 Days of Chirstmas-Day 7

This is my entry for Simply Betty Challenges 12 Days of Chirstmas, Day 7.

Today's challenge was all about Emos.  She's got a killer line of rubber and digis, Emo Kids.  Use any Emo, and the colors purple, lime green, and turquoise.  I chose Effin Miller, from the Emo Christmas digis.  The inside read "Don't worry, it snuck up on us too."  I'm actually having fun gettin in the spirit of things this year, which is new for me.  OH!  That awesome bow?  I learned how to make that from a tutorial HERE.  I'm so glad, because I'm very bow challenged.  Not anymore, though!  Go check out that tutorial if you ever have had to pull out your hair arguing with ribbon.  Also, go check out the challenges at SBS, it's always fun!

HDH068-Ocotpodally Ominous

YEAH!!!  I'm still high on my recent DOUBLE win over at Haunted Design House.  It makes me feel really good.  I'm my worst critic, and I follow such amazingly talented people whom I'll never come close too, so it's very nice to be a part of this.  Here's my entry for this weeks Macabre Monday challenge-

Ocotopodally Ominous-use exactly 8 pieces in your project.  From the card base to the embellishments. Here's my 8. 1-card base, 2-MM picture, 3-Allura digi, 4-sticker on MM's face, 5-sentiment, 6-brown stock sentiment is mounted on, 7&8-two red jewels at the bottom. Though this was harder than it sounds, I actually got done today.  I expected to be at this all week, barely making the deadline.  But, the juices got to flowing, and here she is.  My image is Allura Von D, from the Gothic Angelz, drawn wonderfully by Kenny K.  I made this card for one of my besty's birthday this month.  She's a huge Marilyn Manson fan, thus Mr. M in the background.  She's also a fetish model, so this is my ode to her and her beautiful, dark, gothic, and wonderful ways. I know she's going to love it.  I'm very proud of this card, I just love how it turned out.  Head on over and check out HDH.  The challenges are always fun.  I dare you!

SBS 12 Days of Christmas Day 4

I can't believe I actually made two challenges this week!  I'm feeling the juices flowing, hopefully I can keep up.  Here's my entry for Simply Betty Stamps 12 Days of Christmas, Day 4. 

The challenge was to use something scary in your Christmas card.  I used Rio from Simply Betty Stamps Emo World digis.  Decided to put my MS Ghost punch to use, with the inside of the card saying "From all of us!"  Couple bats, couple buttons, and skulls in the Happy Holidays.  Voila!  I'm very happy with the way this turned out.

SBS 12 Days of Xmas #3 & HDH067 Paper Pandemonium

I'm double teamin!  This is my entry for Simply Betty Challenges 12 Days of Christmas Day 3.  Use a Simply Betty image with a creepy kinda tree.  I am not a Xmas person, at all, so this card, and Lola Mummy there, really does the whole Bah Humbug thing for me.

I'm also entering this into Haunted Design House's Macabre Monday Challenge.  This week is Paper Pandemonium.  Use two different patterned papers.  Done, and done!  I just got a cool pack of double sided paper from my good ole Creepy friend, so of course it had to go on here.  Yeah, two challenges in one week!  Big time for me!

Shared Birthday

This card I made for Adam, my friends son turning 13 this year, on MY birthday(yesterday 11/30).  I usually don't like to share, but he's a pretty cool kid so I made an exception.

I used the Cool Kid freebie digi from Kenny K.  Found some cloud paper hanging about in my black hole of a craft room.  That sidewalk was drawn by me, from a tutorial I found on the Midnight Scramper's blog.  It was a while back so I had to search for it, but it proved to work wonderfully.  Off to kick the creative juices in the butt, and try to make the new SBS challenge.
