Out! Out damn spot

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well.  Thanks you for your kind comments on my previous post.

Out! Out damn spot is the challenge over at Haunted Design House - to create something that is covered in spatter, splatter, drips or drops.  I doesn't have to be bloody .................Ohhhhh but it soooo does :)

Here is my entry, let me know what you think


I have used a Mark Ryden image backed by paper from Crafty Chaos Designs, the dripping blood is cut from Creative Imaginations Tragic Symphony cardstock. The sentiment is from my sad little mind and printed from the PC

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge(s)


Thanks for stopping by.
Take care

Bombshell Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the Bombshell Stamps Blog Hop, If you have arrived from Meredith's blog, then you are on the right track, if not, then you need to go to the Bombshell Blog to start from the beginning.

The challenge for the hop was to use three or more of the following colours Teal, Lime, Forest Green, Baby Pink and Maroon.  I have used Teal, Forest Green and Maroon with a touch of Lime.
I won't hold you up any longer, as I know you are keen to see all the fabulous projects the DT's have to show you, so here is my project, let me know what you think :)



I have used the Bombshell Angel and dressed her in the riding outfit from the Fantasy Bombshell dress up digi set, which includes the sentiment.  The backing papers are from Crafty Chaos Designs - Gothic Bruise.  The ribbon, tiny buttons and gems are from my stash.

Now I'm going to send you hopping over to the very talented Ike's blog.

Here is the full list, in case you get lost.


Have fun.

Haunted Birthday Bash

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well,

Thank you all very very much for you kind comments on my previous post following the Smeared and Smudged's Member Hop for July  Mmmmmmwwwhaaaa

 The challenge over at Haunted Design House this week is Haunted Birthday Bash,  so I thought I'd pack a little surprise in mine to use up some of the masses of pink stuff that never gets used.

Here it is,  Let me know what you think.

This is the outside of my card ,  the photo doesn't show it very well, but it is very pink!
(oops lets try it the right way up lol)



This is the inside of my card and boy can you tell I don't do straight lol



The materials used for the outside of the card are all from my stash,I don't use pink very often so there was quite a lot lol

For the inside I used an Aly Fell image edged with slotted lace, ribbon and braid.  The sentiments on the front and inside, I made up myself, typed them and printed them off the pc.

Late as usual!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well, enjoying our British summer ????? Thank you all very much for all the encouraging comments you left on my previous post.

Once again I am entering a challenge at the last minute, I really must get my act together:( The challenge over at Haunted Design House for this last week is Loathsome Lotharios.......... I immediately thought of Vampires, I love Vampires, especially when they look like Antonio Banderas, but also because they are charming bad boys, and lets face it we all love a bad boy, who hasn't been taken in at some point in their lives by the drop dead gorgeous guy with a voice like honey dripping lies like spring rain, you fall madly in love and when he has conquered you completely he moves on to his next victim, leaving you broken hearted........was it worth it????...........Oh Yessssss

Because I love Vampires so much I had difficulty in choosing which image to use, so I ended up using three, the first I will be entering in the HDH challenge, the other two I just wanted to share with you :)

Please take the time to view all three and let me know which one you would have chosen for the HDH challenge?

Yes, the more I look at it, the more I think it should be smaller (narrower). If I had more time I would re-do it, Sorry folks :(
