I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twoso me (my top two favorite creations) from all the players. At the end of every month these will be compiled and a Master of Macabre will be selected. He/she will be asked to be a guest blogger for the following month, if they so wish, and receive a little giftie from me... this could be stamp sets, handmade items

The month of December is a busy one... and it is abundantly clear by the challenge participation ;)  I didn't even get one done for HDH018!  And we had TWO WEEKS to do it... what a slacker I am.  So, the Gruesome Twosome for the last two challenges: HDH017 - Spooky Sprites Gruesome Twosome:   Linda aka Oz for a very cool vintage project, and Lynx for her fiendishly grinning woodland sprite.  And you two had NO competition... LITERALLY!  Thanks so much for sticking with me ladies! HDH018 - Wintery Wraiths Gruesome Twosome :  Anne for a very cool Christmas parlor scene, and Lynx for her unearthly haunted Christmas doorway. Please grab your GT badge from the sidebar, Anne, and linky it back to here!  Oz & Lynx are already set ;)  Thanks so much for everyone's participation!  I can't wait to gear up after the hollidays! .

Check this out!  Remember the bonus drawing for HDH013 Beauty School Dropout ?  You know creepy-cool image I used on the card I made... well, the owner of that stamp company, Barb Harper of Stamp It Crazy , left this comment: Hello Barb, I want to say you did a wonderful job with the creepy girl image. I will help you out and give your contest winner a free creepy girl image . Great Work! Barb Harper www.stampitcrazy.net Which means that Susan gets another freebie!  Yeay for Stamp It Crazy!  Thanks so much, Barb , and I can't wait to use some of the images I just purchased from you... they are fabulous :)  Susan, I've still got your address, so let me know if it is ok to send it on to Barb! Now, doesn't this make you want to participate in challenges even more?! .

Ok, so I've decided to leave last week's challenge up again this week... I know it gets busy around this time of year.  So y'all have another week to get to this one :)  Thanks to Lynx for your participation... we always look forward to your creations! I hope your Winter Holiday is fantastic and drama-free ;)

Keep in mind that I said that for this challenge, you can use something with a fairie, pixie, or other wee ones ... my wee one is an elf :)  Not just any elf... a very, very evil elf.  He is probably one of the most evil little buggers I've seen... thank you Torrente! Stamps:   All Things Christmas (TAC sentiment), Santa Baby (Torrente) Paper:  TAC's Scarlet, Black & White UltraSmooth cardstocks Ink:   Noir Palette Colorants:   Copic & Tombow markers Other:   White gel pen , Stardust glitter pens , sheer wire ribbon Uber-creepy, no?!  Me likey... a lot :)  These photos really do kinda suck... he is much cooler in person... you can see the shimmer and shadows much better. Now the question is... WHICH person on my naughty list gets this :) ...

I totally got yelled at by a couple of you for being the slacker that I am :)  I will no longer be giving excuses... it is just me ;)  So, on to the LONG OVERDUE list of awesomeness that has graced our screens this past month: HDH014 - Ghastly Gravesites Gruesome Twosome :  Nans , for an absolutely uber-creepy collage (me likey a lot!), and Linda (Oz) for the rose embellished headstone... fantastic! HDH015 - Sinister Smirks Gruesome Twosome:   Creepy Glowbugg for a truly sinister santa card, and Melisa for her "Edward" ATC... you gals know I'm a sucker for Torrente images! HDH016 - Witchie Woman Gruesome Twosome :  Linda B. for the cool witchy fabric she used, and Lynx for her dark & mysterious lady. Please grab your GT badge from the sidebar ladies and linky it back to here!  We want to get some more players to join the fun!!! Now, the list from which I will draw a name for Master of the Macabre for November 2009 (from HDH012-HDH015 challenges):
