Macabre Monday...

Today I painted a wall in the living room. Of course, this meant not much room in my girl cave!

I snuck in for a bit this afternoon and made a really quick card for Barb Foster's Macabre Monday Challenge.

This week's challenge was to choose a horror flick for a little inspiration. Barb's sample card was "Carrie", and it is awesome. You really should run over and take a look at it!

The two scariest movies I think I've seen are The Exorcist, and The Shining. Both still to this day scare me, so I couldn't make anything using them! Of course, to be honest, the last few days, the scariest flicks have been watching my beloved Cardinal's lose their ball games!!!

I chose an old creepy tale that I saw several years ago, called "The Hellraiser". I found this picture on the internet, and just couldn't resist the straight pins! Of course, the only one I'd be brave enough to mail it to would be Barb!!! Lol... Anyway, here's to 10 minute cards!!!

Supplies: Black CS, Internet Photo, Sentiment: River City Rubber Works, White Embossing Powder, Embossing Ink, Pop dots.

I think I need to go make something a little less gruesome now!

Have a great night!

BOO!

I'll bet that you are surprised to see me! I am finally out of hiding. It was a very hectic week and weekend, so today, I went to stamp club (thanks JoAnn for a great project!), got home about 4:00, and have been in my girl cave since!


I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to catch up the challenges that I'm behind on, but you can bet that I'm working hard to try to get them done!


First I have a card for the ABC Challenge. The letter is "C", and we are to make a card with circles. I chose to go with a Halloween card. I stamped my "BOO" letters on black circles with white ink, and then covered them with a clear acrylic circle.

Supplies: DP: Best Creation, Inc., TAC Playful Bet Letters, Jewelry Braiding Cord

For Barb's Macabre Monday Challenge, I offer the following card...

This week's challenge is to use a ghastly little poem or rhyme in your creepy creation. I tried to zoom in to my poem from Macbeth, but I think I only succeeded in crossing everyone's eyes!!!


Supplies: D CS is by Pink Paislee, Sentiment computer generated

For day 188 at 365 Cards, the challenge was "Touchy Feely Friday". We were to add flock, felt, etc., to our cards to make them 'touchy feely'!!! My lil' gal has a fluffy black flock boa! The card is also based on glitter stock, so that's also a 'feely' paper! I covered the white foam flower with glossy accents, so it looks pretty cute IRL.

Supplies: Black Fun Flock, TAC Tickled Pink Image, Tombow Markers, Gelly Roll Glitter Pen, Dazzles flower by Petaloo, Glitter CS by Best Creations, White foam flower from Michael's, Glossy Accents

Day 187 at 365 Cards had a theme of: "Label It". I dug into my old, old, stash, and found a label! The challenge at Pile it On, was Happy Birthday plus one other challenge.

Supplies: Label from stash, DCWV Old World Mat Stack CS, Hero Arts Sentiment, Sara Beise Cupcake.

"Feeling Blue" was the theme for day 185 at 365 Cards. We were to include three shades of blue - done! All supplies were scraps and miscellaneous from my stash or Shirley's! Sentiment is Inkadinkado, and was stamped with Stampin' Up Whisper White.

Hope that you all have a great night. Get some rest!

Thanks for stopping by to look!
