Haven't you LOVED all of the Minions' work this week?!!  And are you loving the Delicious Doodles digi's?!  Fantastic!  And now... a little sumpin' sumpin' from me: please click to enlarge photos... they look a little better I used Free Spirit for this one.  LOVE her!  And of course I can't photograph anything red and have it turn out right, so you'll have to trust me when I say this looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better in person. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder, MS graveyard & grass punches, and the EK Success bracket punch.  The sentiment is one from Stamp Insanity. You've only got a little over a day to enter this week's challenge ... and it's SUCH an easy one!  Don't you want some deliciously dark digi's from Delicious Doodles ?

Just popping in between Zombie posts and showing you what I did for this week's Macabre Monday - "Alone in the Dark" challenge. 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 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 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.

Yep, it's CCC Donna's birthday today.  We don't know how old she is, because she said that a lady never tells... hmmmmm... I don't see no ladies around here... but we'll just go with it :) I made you a card, Donna, and I'm hoping it will get to you by tomorrow or the next day.  So this might spoil it, but you'll just have to suck it up! Great sentiment, right?  PERFECT for Donna, me thinks... especially since she IS so FABULOUS.  That's right, Donna, I said it... in that non-hoity-toity kind of way ;) The image is from Stampotique, the sentiment is from Missy B's, the edge punch is EK Success, the ribbon is from Michael's dollar bin (oh yes... yes it is... and it is delightful), and the AWESOME silver background is some wallpaper that Creepy Glowbugg sent to me.  LOVE IT! I know I'm stretching it a bit, but this card uses the SDC#29 sketch over at the Stampotique challenge blog .  I used Daniel Torrente's Prom Queen for the 1st r...
