And now the Creative Team wants to share some of their stand out entries:

CT Anne

"Teresa's Brian/Brain was in the running - I liked that the central image, Zombie Brian, was surrounded by plenty of interesting secondary elements - damaged brains, grasping hands, the barbed wire. And need I mention the blood? No, I thought not."

CT Nan

"Crafty Rose's #15 is so awesome with so many fab elements of a tag! Love that she used Frankinella and of course, my man, Poe! All my faves in one tag, how fantastic is that?" 

CT Granne
"# 24 Crafty Debs Love the stright combination of red and black and really enjoyed the tutorial, Fabulous set!" 

CT Kim
 #9 Gina, I love the Poe doll! So wicked cool and fabulous tree! The vulture is so awesome! We all need a Poe doll with pet Vulture :)

Awesome work by all!  And now we begin our journey for August's winners!  So keep those entries coming!

CT Anne finally agreed to let us see the rest of her "eyes" teaser!  So we turn the post over to her!

 " Eyeball Wormetti from Teri Sherman - my springboard this month. So what to put with it? I already have her chess pieces, eyeball-less as they are, and so the chain of imagination takes off. Chess pieces need a chessboard to sit on. Raid the washi tape stash for some black-dominant tape and lay down on the journal page. The whitish streaks are tar gel drizzled over the image & page."

 

Poor Pawns, it's a tough life, everyone's after your balls, no matter what the Bishop says!

"The eyes, how can they offend thee? A Royal Command perhaps. More likely one could take offence at that worm of tar gel oozing over the text of my journal page, but who's telling this story? - another colour sequence for this platter of pasta"

The completed page looked a bit sparse with all those white squares, and Barbara Willis' doll face stamp was lurking on my table, so some judicious part-stamping in a lightly murky ink colour along with an anonymous spiral worm, and the odd ant from vlvstamps.com helps reduce the starkness.

 Now we are waiting for your plate of eyeballs, or worms, or whatever icky thingys you can come up with!  It's your turn now! Whew, we are tired from searching for our missing teamie so we leave the rest up to you!  But do watch you back will you? Buwhahahaha! 

It's Hot at Dream in Darkness for August and About to Get Hotter!

Welcome beloved inhabitants of Dream in Darkness house of dreary, dank, happiness!  It is now time for Challenge #4!  We are sponsored this month as you may know by the magnificent Teri Sherman of Delicious Doodles find her at  Etsy Store ArtiDoodles!  So without further delay we present our makes using images from Teri!

First up is our Guest Creative Team member for August!  Give a great big welcome to Arline Grant!  Here is a bit about Arline...

"Thank you so much to Dream in Darkness for this opportunity to be a part of the team this month.  I have been doing digital scrapping for about a year and a half.  I went in search of some elements to add to a photo of one of my granddaughters and was instantly hooked! There is something for everyone and a whole new creative world was found on the other side of the door.  My best advice to anyone saying "I can't do that."...  YOU CAN!  Come play with us.

My piece is named DEMONS.  We all have them.  We fight them.  Do not let them define you."

 GCT Arline

Using Teri's "The Witches Cat".  Also used to create this Crystal Rain's "Poe" and Holliewood Studio's "Halloween MC" from Mischief Circus.   Border from Tangie Baxter's "Assimilation 1"

CT Granne

Using:

Rosita

Grotesque Cupid 

Poppies paper and skulls are not in the shop - yet anyway..

CT Anne

  Minestrone - pasta - but what's with the eyes? And where did this creepy font come from? And who let the snail-trails get onto the page?

Yep, it is another teaser from CT Anne!  We have to wait for the rest along with you!  The guesses have run rampant but not a word from CT Anne but an evil snicker at our distress!  So come back and check to see the rest of the "Eyes" on July 7th when we announce the winner's of July's Challenge!

CT Kim

Using Eva the Witch

CT Nan
using "Let Me Out"

CT Nan wanted to send a symbol of solidarity to her teamies, yes, even CT Anne who is assumed innocent until....Anyway, she made tees for the Dream in Darkness team!  That is all the info we have right now.......

Now you know the next bit!  Your turn to show us, run don't walk, leaving the light off, all that stuff BUT we do need to continue our quest for CT No Good Nan!  Evil Froggy and his "helper/leader" still have not returned her to the house!  Yes, she made a project we know she is being allowed her crafting supplies, limited we have heard though! oh the inhumanity! so we must make Evil Froggy happy right away!  She has been missing almost a month now, so either she is really not missed at all (hmmm interesting thought!) or we just haven't tried hard enough!  So get out those supplies and craft away and most importantly: enter them below!  

We will leave you with this one thought.  If we let Evil Froggy and "helper" aka CT Anne keep No Good Nan.....they may come after others and not just teamies!  That's right! Look over your shoulder, what was that sound? A croaking? An evil snicker?  

Yes, time to get serious here at Dream in Darkness...lights off and out!

As always it is Anything Goes, except cute...

Kindly link to Evil Froggy above or he will "enhance" DT Nan's rubber stash. And you can only guess what THAT means bwahahahaha!!!!

 

Get Ready for August and Our Awesome Sponsor Teri at Delicious Doodles

 That's right! We have the amazingly fabulous Teri Sherman of Delicious Doodles sponsoring us next month(August) at Dream in Darkness!  We are all just having a deliciously dark time working with the great images she so graciously given us!  Teri very humbly gave us permission to tell you a bit about her (she would not toot her own horn! but you know us!  We are going to toot her horn for her and very loudly!)

Teri draws everything first by hand with paper, pens and pencils before digitizing the images for selling at her Etsy Shop "ArtiDoodles".  She sometimes makes her own cards using these images    ( I was lucky enough to have several of her handmade art!) and they can be seen on her ArtiCardz page via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/articardz'

She draws a mix of mainstream images with flowers, animals, scenery (check out her fab Scottish Castle!), etc. and as we also know, some darker, more Gothic designs for the "alternative" crafter! 

Squeal!! Oh, that was us squealing, we couldn't help ourselves!

Thanks so much, Teri, for sponsoring us this month and offering our winner a lovely prize of your digi!  We look forward to sharing our makes with your images all month long and hope to do them justice as they are all so freaking amazing!

 ....beware of the evil froggy...and there are still froggy parts about.....
