TRUE BLOOD is BACK!

I LOVE the HBO series TRUE BLOOD 
and was thrilled to see a challenge commemorating it's return over at 
HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE.


So I made just a little something utilizing what I happened to have on hand, which is a funerary urn stamp. I tried to turn it into a crystal urn to hold "Talbot" bloody remains.

I also wrote a small poem to go with it, spoken in the voice of Russell Edgington.
The middle stanza is paraphrased from William Shakespeare's MacBeth....I did give that credit on the bottom.

So this is a 4 X 4 (or fat page or chunky page) with a pocket.

Card stock, ink and word window punch by STAMPIN' UP, Embossing folder by CUDDLEBUG, Funerary urn stamp by STAMPFRANCISCO, Corner stamp by BOMBSHELL stamps. Red EP by SPARKLE and SPRINKLE. Holographic EP by STAMPENDOUS. Thin Black pen by FABER- CASTELL. German Scrap by ARTCHIX STUDIOS. Poem by ME!



The Poem says:

True Death

My TRUE love, Talbot
Entombed in Crystal
Silent sobs catch in
my dry breath.

*Our yesterdays have lit
the way to dusty death.
Signifying nothing.
Sayeth MacBeth.*

I will mourn you
with a vengence
until the day of m
my own TRUE death.
S. Guzy ©6/2012
*paraphrased from MacBeth; V,v

The Pit and the Pendulum

Today I made another fat page for my Poe book. 
I watched Vincent Price in The Pit and The Pendulum. 
Then designed my plan from the Movie! 
This is the Challenge this fortnight over at  



Here is my entry!!
I think everyone else probably went with a pendulum, and I thought about making a swinging one to have in front of this, before I had the whole design in my mind, but I decided against it. I like being different. :)
So I went with the main torture room, and the sitting iron maiden, that dear Elizabeth gets locked in 
and left forever, and her previous "Wall of Internment" 
and from the Pit/Pendulum room the creepy reapers on the wall.

it is a combination of painting, paper, digi stamp, rubber stamps and hand drawing.
Paper -I believe it is older BASIC GRAY, Brick wall stamp by LAYERS OF COLOR, Flying skull stamp by BOMBSHELL STAMPS, The Criss-cross stamp is by SMEARED INK 
(from the Quoth the Raven set). Scared Eyes is a digi stamp by SMEARED INK.
Black and gray paint for the reapers, fine line black sharpie also, 
and red stickles by RANGER for the eyes. The sharpie used to make the name plate and her name, 
with copper stickles. Copper paint pen for a cut in view of Elizabeth's fear inside the iron maiden.
SHARPIE white poster paint pen for skull, and silver paint pen for the wings.
STAMPIN' UP markers for the flesh and eyes of Elizabeth.


Hope you like my take on The Pit and the Pendulum!

GOOD NEWS & another E A POE Fat Page

Hello, Happy Hump day!

My Mom is going home today from the hospital! YEA!!
It is supposed to get warm here again for the next few days! YEA!
I clipped the grand dog, yesterday (mostly...I have work to do on his feet (he hates that)! YEA!!
I am cooking pork chops tonight! YEA!!
and the really big news....
My oldest daughter came over last night and stayed talking to me all night(I wasn't so happy about not getting any sleep) It was awesome that we spent some time talking, another chance at mending our relationship! YEA!!!!


now for a bit of mixed media/abstract-ish art:
My next fat page in a Edgar Allen Poe Series...this one- "The Black Cat", 
I call this piece "Warped"

This first picture allows you to see some of the shine

 Ingredients:
chipboard 4 x 4
background paper  by BASIC GREY (oxford)
Fibers from stash
Digi stamp: Cat cleaning it's face (paw is over the eye so appropriate! LOL) by TLC CREATIONS
Rubber stamps: Hour Glass by ALTERED BOOKS, Gothic Corner by BOMBSHELL STAMPS, Head (from the full bust of E A Poe) by SMEARED INK, the word "Warped" by a recently defunct company in the UK (I can't think of their name right now)
Ink by STAMPIN' UP, ENCORE, and VERSAMARK
Embossing powders by STAMPIN' UP, STAMPEDOUS, and SUZE WEINBURG
How I did it:
stamped cat on white card stock, drew in the ripped out eyeball and blood, cut around the top of the cat and trimmed the sides of the card stock a bit. attached it to the 4 X 4, inked the head only of Poe, and stamped it on, inked warped and stamped it on, inked the hour glass and stamped it on, Inked the gothic corner with metallic pigment ink, and embossed with Copper EP-(upper left, lower right)
Then i tapped versamark ink all over the entire 4 X 4, I had a mixture of Clear utee with some silver, red and black reg. EP mixed together, i dumped all of it on (it wasn't a lot) shook it around and then pressed down all over with my fingers to make sure it all stuck good. shook and tapped off lightly the excess.
heat melted it with my heat gun. it is very lumpy and shiny! (the next picture shows this)
After it cooled I took a black and red sharpie, and just redefined some of the lines here and there for more distinction.
 The picture below is the best VIEW, but the colors are more accurate in the last picture and the first 2 pictures.

the last 2 of the "12 days of Halloween"

Ok, these are OFFICIALLY the last 2 "Halloween" pieces you will be seeing on this blog for a very long time! LOL  I am kind of Halloween-ed out (I may make some more just because it is all out and handy, I MAY...but anything I make will NOT be getting posted this year.)

ok, so here is  day 11 and 12

it is 11 Casks-a-leanin' (My interpretation was to do caskets, after all it is for Halloween)
I was lazy and scanned them, sorry.  Remember I made all mine 4 X  4's to make a book.

Background "chandelier" paper which is embossed and shiny in spots is from DCWV, The 2 casket stamps are from BOMBSHELL STAMPS then I used Black Diamond and Xmas Red Stickles from RANGER on the crosses on the casket's, which are "leaning". Misc. metallic red ribbon is tied through a hole and has a bow with long ends hanging down.

now onto:

12 Bats-a-Flyin'

Background paper by PINK PAISLEE, stamp by CTMH (Halloween Dingbats). I used Black Diamond stickles on their eyes, and a red marker on the mouths, and around the edge of the 4 X 4
simple, but nice I think.

DAY 30- 31 Days of Halloween, TODAY IS MY DAY for the Real witches of Halloween

Welcome to Day 30 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 30 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 30 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN. Today is my day! scrolldown to below my creation

Today's Halloween funny:
 Today's creation is something I started in week 1 :)


paper mache witch hat from Michael's
it has matte gray, matte light purple, glossy black and metallic blue paint. I used the Flying Skull from Dead Necessities stamp set by BOMBSHELL STAMPS, stamped in silver and embossed in silver. I stamped the Bat from the Best Fiends stamp set by STAMPIN' UP in black, and then went over it with a fine tip sharpie. I then put one coat of glossy MOD PODGE over the gray and purple strips. I added bring to the black stripes.

here's a few shots:

Today is My day for 
The REAL WITCHES of HALLOWEEN.
I am not talking about anything witchy per-say. I am talking about making some of your own magic. When my children were growing up, until they hit about 6 or 7th grade I always made their costumes. I NEVER used a pattern. Some I made by having the kids lay on the floor on top of big thin cardboard (hubby would get it off pallets from the PO) or Paper from the rolls at school...they liked me, LOL
I would trace roughly around their bodies...wrist up to neck over to other wrist, up both arms into the armpit area, and down both legs on the outside for dresses and including the inseam for pants...when I traced this line I made it anywhere to 2-4" bigger all around, especially depending on the body part. I always scoured through the thrift stores for fabric or curtains and sheets i could cut down...sometimes I just used thrift store clothing...one year my daughter was a bride, as I found a very petite old wedding gown. I made her a veil out of sheet curtains that had applique work on them I sewed it to a shoulder pad and a hair comb.
One of the outfits I made using my "make your own pattern" thing was I made the 2 girls medieval princesses. I made 2  identical style dresses per girl...one was the solid color under neath (yellow for the oldest and blue for the youngest) and then another dress the same shape with the bell sleeves and all but out of sheer printed fabric, so it had a chiffon-y kind of look to it. I bought 2 old pair of shoes in the thrift store and sprayed one gold and one set silver, and I made Cone hats, sprayed to match the shoes. I stapled elastic to the cone so it would stay on their heads. I had pieces of the fabric streaming for the top of the cones. My X provided me with plastic dowels from his job that I turned into wands (septors).  My son was made into a king from the same era. He wore 2 pair of long johns the outer pair was navy blue I bought him a turtleneck to match and picked up a royal blue short sleeve crepe "shell" as my mom would call it from the thrift store I rolled up the sleeves and stuffed them with poly-fill and stitched on pieces of coordinating blue fabric in a diamond pattern around the puffy part of the sleeves, then belted this shirt over his torso, it hung low and looked like a doublet. I found an old fake fur jacket and I cut that apart, made a mantle for his shoulders and pinned it in front with an old brooch and I used fabric, cardboard and some of that fur to make a crown, the fabric actually covered the top of his head and was hot glued all the way around  the cardboard. I ran a strip of the fur all along the bottom of the crown. I bought a back of gems from the craft store in the neighborhood and glued them on all the points of his crown.

Unfortunately I can not get at any of these photos right now but I will share one from when they are a bit older.  My oldest was NOT living with me at the time, she was living with my X, trust me she would have never been allowed to dress that way from my house.
Tom is dressed like a goth...we bought him a belt and matching color in south Philly (I was living on campus this particular year) Amanda is a hippie, and this was my magic...I found this old crepe dress in the thrift store it was cream with brown trim and a bit stained here and there. I had learned a neat arty trick while with GS which is to soak your garment, really wet. while wet start at the top and drizzle fabric paint in  complimentary or coordinating colors. drizzle some further down depending on the size of the garment.
then just twist it up a bit wring just a little. then hang outside the water will drain down and out of the fabric thanks to gravity, it will pull the paint with it. making a cool design, like tye-dye, but not. so i did that with this dress, bought some cheap bead necklaces in the thrift store and hippie style boots, she asked for a peace sign on her face. and she wore pigtails.
their ages in this picture --April-17, Tom- 13, Amanda-12. Halloween 1999

 I have tons of Halloween costumes under my belt...I love when I made my oldest a "Book worm" in kindergarten.  she wore all green top, pants tights etc. I lucked out and found a red beret. I took a cardboard box, cut the bottom out totally, cut holes for her arms and head, and then painted it to look like a book. She wore glasses, so this was cool for her.

REAL WITCHES make MAGIC everyday!

DAY 20- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

Scroll down for my ALL HALLOWS GRIM POSTS(3)

Welcome to Day 20 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 20 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 20 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

Today's Halloween funny:

Today's creations is a small bit of Decopage. I found this pre-carved and wood burned Red Cedar plaque in a thrift store for 50 cents.
I took a piece of white card stock and covered it well with FIBER-SCRAPS E Z STAIN walnut stain, and let it dry.
 Then I stamped the DOTD Female in mourning stamp from BOMBSHELL stamps. I used Staz-on Ink, then I used my BIC Mark Its! to color it in. From the same stamp set(Growing Hearts) I stamped "The Heart Grows Fonder" in black staz-on above the image. 
I trimmed it down a bit (like to the over all size of the plaque). Then I burned all around the paper with one of those grill-lighter things and stomped it out with a wet dish cloth. In places it burned a bit more than I wanted, but I think it came out nice anyway. Then I crumpled it up a few times. I used Matte MOD PODGE to glues it down, and to coat it.

Today's Halloween funny:

For my creation today I have the 2nd set of my Haunted Houses. The idea behind this project was when you got the swap back you could make a banner out of all the houses. After Halloween, I share the ones I got back. All are awesome, but most were done more like a house shaped postcard or ATC, not actually like a house but the ones that were are superb! ok onto mine:

The coffin stamp is by BOMBSHELL STAMPS, the dead necessities set.
above right--all images except for the "wording" is ARTchix, as well as the owl charm, and the Masonite door. The Raven stamp and the wording is from ALPHA STAMPS
 Above left--owl charm and all images and wording are from ARTchix STUDIOS. I used Fired Brick crackle paint, sharpies and the web stamp from STAMPIN' UP. (image in the back door is a skeleton, as well as the large glary image)Fired Brick crackle paint accents this house.
Above center--the gold Key hole, jack-o-lantern,  glary witch in 2nd story window(has rock candy crackle paint on it), the bat (glary), wording, and skeleton in the back door are all ARTchix, the Ouija Board is from DEZINAWORLD. The coffin stamp is again, from Bombshell. This house has the tissue papered roof.
Above right-- Creepy doll head in 2nd story window, the siamese twin- bat girls(has rock candy crackle paint on it), antelope skull in back door and the Masonite door are all from ARTchix. "poison", wording, and black cat, and raven stamp are from ALPHA STAMPS,  the small image of the old witch tea party is from that RAKed collage sheet. I used Fired brick crackle paint on the roof and the door.

The creepy weeds, tombstone , spider in web, web definition, "boo", skeleton in back door, siamese twin-bat girls, and glary image (can't remember what it is ) are all from ARTchix STUDIOS.

DAY 18- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

Scroll down for my ALL HALLOWS GRIM POSTS(3)

Welcome to Day 18 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 18 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 18 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

from now til the end of the month I'll be sharing images some funny, some otherwise. (my countdown)
Are you having fun???!!!! I hope so :)

Todays artistic creation is a set of my haunted houses for a swap on one of my Yahoo groups. we were to start with a 4 x 6 piece of chipboard and make 13 houses (14 if we wanted to give one to the owner of the shop, that the group is for) 6 in one style and 7 in the other...I did 14 so 7 of each (actually 16 as I made 2 for myself...not photographed yet)...I knew I was going to use them as part of my 31 days so I made sure I stamped one image on each, otherwise these are mixed-media/collage.

so here are the first group of 7- the balcony, center window, and right-side basement window are actually cut out:

 First, the one on the left above is the one I made for the shop owner, the shop--ARTchix Studios, owner-Helga. We had to use at least one of her collage images, and one art bit. from left to right:

The "boo" on the balcony, skull in the window, ghost girl outside, and creepy owl eyes in the basement window are all from ARTchix STUDIOS. The art bit is the Masonite window. The yellow is card stock I coated with 3 coats of Glow-in-the-dark MOD PODGE. The wording is from an ALPHA STAMPS collage sheet. The background paper is photographed weathered wood, I do not remember the brand. Then I used Fired Brick Crackle Paint by RANGER, and a Black and Silver SHARPIE. The stamp-Small Coffin from Dead Necessities by BOMBSHELL STAMPS.
next- same design, wood paper, Old Paper Crackle paint by RANGER, the black and silver SHARPIES again. and i used dark leopard print tissue paper crumpled up in little balls and MOD PODGE for a rough roof. The Bat skeleton in the window, jack-o-lantern by porch, Creepy woman looking up at the moon in the old house outside, and the eyes in the basement window are all from ARTchix STUDIOS, as well as the Masonite window. The small girl witches on the balcony is from another collage sheet that I rec'd as a RAK. The Raven Stamp is from ALPHA STAMPS.
third-  wood paper, old paper crackle paint, all images, and Masonite window all from ARTchix STUDIOS, wording from Collage sheet from ALPHA STAMPS. Web stamp from Web Wishes by STAMPIN' UP
 on the left-  wood paper, old paper crackle paint, Witch in window, jack-o-lantern, extra vines that I cut off the women image,  "haunt", "enchanted" and Masonite window all from ARTchix STUDIOS. Ouija Board image from DEZINAWORLD, and black cat is from ALPHA STAMPS, There is Rock Candy Crackle paint by RANGER over the witch in the window. the sharpies, glow-in-the-dark MP, and the web stamp by STAMPIN' UP.
on the right-  paper is a tan with  grassy jungle-looking irregular and random squares all over it, Fired brick crackle paint, sharpies. Jester on Balcony, witch in window, "Spooky" and gold keyhole from ARTchix STUDIOS, creepy doll in window from that RAK sheet, black cat and wording by ALPHA STAMPS, as well as the Raven stamp.
 on the left- please forgive the glare, I was rushing for the photos as to get them in the mail. Nosterfu image (at the top) from ARTFUL ILLUSIONS, creepy doll on balcony from RAK sheet, the glary image in the window is a skull by ARTchix STUDIOS, as well as the tiny "Hocus Pocus", tiny jack-o-lantern by porch, and the "Rise and walk with me" by Nos. The Masonite door is also ARTchix STUDIOS, the monster eyes in the basement are from an old Frankenstein image off the same collage sheet as Nos by ARTFUL ILLUSION. Again web stamp by STAMPIN' UP. The creepy doll and Nos are both covered in Rock candy crackle paint by RANGER. (it is almost empty I am so sad)
on the right-   Back to the wood paper, the dark leopard print tissue paper, crumpled-mod podged roof, web stamp and sharpies. The moon, cemetery angel head, creepy weeds, as well as the Masonite window are all from ARTchix STUDIOS. The Little witch is from ARTFUL ILLUSIONS. I do not remember where I got the one eye image from in the basement window. Reminder all the yellow windows etc are coated in Glow-in-the-Dark MOD PODGE.

Tomorrow you'll see the other 7, which the house style is a bit different

This was a fun yet stressful project, kind of like doing the 31 days, LOL!

DAY 7- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

Welcome to Day 7 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 7 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 7 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN

Today's contribution is the very beginning of what will be a continuous work in progress.
I purchased a hard cover blank journal (Farber-Castell) to make into my first Book of Shadows.
I have only worked on the very beginning--the back of the front cover.

 Image from the internet,
"Susan" stamped with Headline Alphabet stamps by STAMPIN' UP,
"ForestIsis" stamped with Collage Alphabet by STAMPIN' UP,
Roses stamp, part of Dead Necessities set by BOMBSHELL STAMPS,
Burgundy marker by STAMPIN' UP,
Black Tuxedo ink by MEMENTO, Silver Pigment ink by RANGER,
Sterling Silver embossing powder by STAMPIN' UP, 
a Mix of Clear UTEE with Apple red EP from SPARKLE n SPRINKLE

3 views at different angles, and or settings
I found this image on the internet, it is called the Pumpkin Witch
 Upper roses stamped in silver pigment ink, used my UTEE mix and embossed it, then filled in the open spots with the burgundy marker, really a stunning effect!
 3 views, different angles and settings of the Upper Roses

 3 views, different angles and settings of Lower Roses
 Initially I had stamped the "F" here for "Forestisis, and since I double stamped all letters to make them darker, this one was messed up, so I moved over and started again, successfully this time. but I had this double image "f" to cover up, and I HAD planned on putting roses in the corner. what to do, what to do??
I kept stamping the "F" over and over all over a largish area in black same as the boo-boo. then I stamped the roses on top of that in the silver ink and embossed it with sterling silver EP.
there were still some blank spots, so I also used the burgundy marker to fill in here. This mistake quickly became a cool outcome!

Personally, I can not think of a worse time of year to be so sick and know that you are going to be sick for a while...all the holidays and all coming. Can you imagine being 17 and getting this diagnosis? can you imagine being the mother to a 17 yo  getting this diagnosis?  I hope you will help Betty and her son, the family has limited insurance and funds. Everything any one of you send them is greatly appreciated by Betty, her family and MOSTLY by her son.  Additionally  the more you shop with SIMPLY BETTY STAMPS the more you are helping this family. Please click the button up there on my side bar and give whatever you can!

I know my post was a bit longer today, but I hope you found it worth the time. Thanks for visiting :)
