please leave a direct-link back here.

3. If you upload to any online galleries (S&S, PCP, SCS, etc.), please tag the title using HDH061.

4. Weekly giveaways! Some weeks will be loaded with loot, others not-so-much... but the thrill is in the win, right?! Some prizes shall be by random drawing, others hand picked... and I'm not telling you ahead of time :)

5. I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twosome (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 and will receive a little giftie from me... this could be stamp sets, handmade items, papers, halloweenie embellishments... you just never know.

Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:

A Lil' Lurid & Lovesick

Go HERE for the definition of lurid & HERE for lovesick.

Now put those two together for this week's challenge! :)

Thanks so much for everyone's participation... because we all really need a little bit of dark to balance out the cute & cuddly in our lives :) Keep the Eerie Inspiration comin', guys!!

... on the brink of being finished? Nope, not even close. I sat down last night to start my challenge card, got impatient, didn't let my ink dry long enough, and poof... smeared. So, I went ahead and played around with the color combo that I WOULD have used for my challenge card... which will not be done.

That's right... I'm a quitter. : P

I do have a good excuse... kinda. I worked 7 days in a row without any time off and it totally sapped my creative mojo-ness. I'm hoping that today, while I'm giving some coloring pointers to a buddy of mine, my mojo will creep back to me. Wish me luck!

Stamp: Perfect Poison (Kraftin' Kimmie); Paper: Neenah; Ink: Memento Tuxedo; Copics: RV10, RV13, RV14, C5, V99, YG11, YG13, YG17

Good news: I have all of the prize packs except for last week's and this week's ready to go postal tomorrow! And I'll announce the Stamp It Crazy challenge winners this week, and MAYBE even the Tickled Pink - Pink on the Brink winner as well! Be sure to check back :)

Edit - Barb is truly Masterful; she has Minions to do the mundane stuff like adding blinkies to a post :P

I'll have my challenge card for you later this week, BUT some of the other Macabre Minions have some wonderful eye candy-corn for you today!!! Check it:

Macabre Mistress Lynx:

LOVE the black cracked look, and the zipper is brilliant!

Creepy Cricut Cween Donna:

Don't you LOVE that Tickled Pink Lil' Lolita image? And the "miss you" headstone tag is perfect!

Digital Demon-ess Susan:

Another fun Lil' Lolita... and this sentiment is wonderful... quite fitting for this crew of Minions, me thinks... said with sweetness AND a gleam in her eye :)

Concoctor of Chaos, Creepy Glowbugg:

The look on this Lil' Lolita is just priceless... and the sentiment? Maybe THIS one suits the Minions even better :) And I'm lovin' that webbie border, Glo!

Ok, now the challenge is on you! Wanna try for some Tickled Pink goodness?
