Happy Birthday Susan

I would like to wish Susan from Susan's Crafty Chaos a most wonderful birthday.  Hope you have a great one whatever you are doing.

Susan's fave colour is purple and these fab papers and many many more are available from her online store crafty chaos designs or there is a linky on my sidebar.  Susan also loves cats hence the three cats and the purple dress on the girl.  Sorry for the sentiment being shiny I took this pic late at night and never checked them before I posted the card.

So Susan in the words of the teletubbies Big Hug, birthday style of course.

Macabre Monday - HDH079 Body Bags and Toe Tags

At Haunted Design House this weeeks challenge is to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based bag or tag project in a suitably macabre fashion.

Please don't judge the others work by this as mine is a bit childish and theirs are so stylish and fantastic.  I made this as a gift bag for a Zombie Escape Plan that I plan on making in the near future if I get time (haha).  Susan from Susan's Crafty Chaos has managed to win herself a place in my escape plan purely for her organisational skills and wit hehe. 

All of the elements you can take off and use.  I made the keychains at the top with polymer clay.  There are two toes, a bone, a zombie toe, a cofffin and an eyeball.  The middle bit with the zombie girl is a brooch with an image I drew from Return of the Living Dead.  The top is a toe tag which can be used as a bookmark and has a toe attached to it also.

Anyways hope you all have a lovely day and defo go to Haunted Design House to have a peek their work is phenomenal and a little bit creepy mwahahaha.

Macabre Monday HDH078 - My Beloved Monster

Well this week at Haunted Design House the challenge is for you to create a beloved monster, monsters, in any size, shape, colour or form.

I drew a couple of monsters and had two hanging from the top of the page, these little guys have some appetite and do you see that pile of bones at the bottom! The big guy in the middle is sad cos the little guys polished off the last of the supplies...
 

The page is from the graphic fairy.  Can you tell by my post that I am still a little out of it, boy what a virus that was.  Hubby thought it was really funny to keep asking for chicken soup when he got it (man flu with nick frost).

There seriously is some eye popping delights from the design team this week so I would defo take a peek at their amazing stuff.

Simply Betty Challenges - All About Christian

Simply Betty Challenge - All about Christian

They challenge you to create a card, a page, anything using any Emo Christian image... Christmas, Everyday, Halloweenie, anything Christian! Pretty simple!


Now here is a suh-weet Prize Betty is putting up for this... One lucky winner, will be chosen to help them release their next line! You will be the very first (aside from Betty and the DT of course) to see the new line and choose two digis from that line to help them debut them on March 15th! It is an "Egg"-citing one! You won't be disappointed! So pull out those Christians and get to creating!

I chose to do a door plaque as my little guy is moving into his own room after sharing with his siter soon and the one he has at the moment is a bit babyish.  He is a bit of a dragon lover and I think that this little pet does resemble a dragon.
Good luck, have fun and please make sure link your creation by March 3rd at 10pm PST.

Simply Betty Valentine Blog Hop

Well Simply Betty Stamps has a new release and I was so super chuffed to be a part of this blog hop because these digis are my absolute fave.  You got it the steampunk are now valentine digis.  Well I have done two for this.  The first one is a digital and she is called Emma and is from the Valentine Steampunk digis and the second is a card with which I used the Grace Valentine Steampunk digi.

So the blog hop at Simply Betty Challenges:

The bat hearts are from the Grace Valentine Digi and the usual suspects are all adorable creatures from some of the other digis available from Simply Betty Stamps.

With this card I cut out a heart with purple cardstock from TAC (which Barb kindly sent me and it is fantastic quality).  I embossed it with silver embossing powder using a stamp that Barb also sent me from TAC.  The circle behind Grace is one of my own designs and the roses I made from old paper/card and spray painted it silver and touched it up with silver glitter.  The love you was from a card stack I had.

Macabre Monday HDH077 - Dr Death

This week at Haunted Design House we are challenging you to create a project/card that incorporates doctors and medicine, in gruesome detail.  We are calling it Dr Death.

I used an old image I had painted for a freakers free for all on a previous Macabre Monday Challenge and made it in to a movie poster.

Well don't get too excited it's not a real movie mwahaha.  This is mild if you want to see a bit of hilarious gruesome work then head on over to the Haunted Design House blog to check out the others work, seriously brilliant.

Simply Betty Challenges - Recycle those scraps!

This week at Simply Betty Challenges you have to pull out your old papers and recycle them onto a new card.

And the prize is Lola and London rubber stamps.



I thought what better than Freddy from the punky teens range at Simply Betty Stamps.  He can use those knifes etc to cut the scraps.  I have made this card a sorry for fighting (scrapping) card.  I so enjoyed colouring this guy, the punky teens are another of my absolute faves.  I only have two to get from that range now.
