Halloween Haunted Village Event - PART 3 - GHOSTMORE MANOR

The Halloween Haunted House event continues with Part 3!  

Every village has its haunted mansion, a place that is whispered about, and strangers are warned not to go near.  For Grimsley Village, it's Ghostmore Manor. Some say it's cursed other say it’s full of dark magic.  Even the dastardly Cadaver and Diggers Undertakers avoid Ghostmore.

But don’t be afraid, as I know the mistress of Ghostmore Isabella, who comes from a long line of witches many of whom are pictured on the walls.

The ghost in the mirror above the fireplace is Isabella’s sister Ophelia.  It’s a long tragic story that I think had to do with lost love.

There is no dark magic here, only light.  Isabella isn’t the least bit bothered by the gossip in town and dismisses the townspeople as “nothing but a bunch of skeletons and zombies”.

The bust at the top of the staircase is of Isabella's aunt Maudlin, an absolute shrew.  The painting is of Isabella's beloved mother Estace.

Sitting on the top of Isabella's secretary (his favorite spot) is her companion owl, Dominic.  I can see that Natasha the cat (at the top of the stairs), is trying to sneak up on Dominic. 

From the view in the window it looks like it’s a full moon tonight.

GHOSTMORE COLLAGE SHEET SET

Ghostmore Manor is a 7 sheet collage set or a digital image set.  Both sets include all of the images you'll need to create the manor.  You can purchase either the 7 collage sheets set or the digital image set separately or with the Ghostmore chipboard house pieces.

For those who purchase PDF collage sheets, you might find this older video tutorial of mine that covers how to how to re-size PDF formatted collage sheets, how to cut and paste individual images from the collage sheets (which is great for only printing the images you want and printing multiple version of the image) and how to re-size individual images, helpful.

The digital set includes a total of 83 images, most of which are included in the Ghostmore Manor Collage Sheet Set, plus an additional 7 images: a table, a rug, stairs, stone trim, wood trim, a large lion medallion, and cherry wood veneer.

Ghoul & Sons Chemist Artwork by Kerstin and a Slight Delay for Part 3 of the Haunted Village Event

Sorry all but there is going to be a slight delay in Part 3 of the Haunted Village Event.  The technology monster struck this past week and I lost the first half of my video tutorial.  So, I’m working to get everything back on track and will post Part 3 on October 1.  I think I’ve saved the best for last and I hope you all think so too!

Now I would like to share this fabulous interpretation of Ghoul & Sons Chemist by Kerstin.

She has more pictures and detailed instructions over at her blog Scrapbook Dreams.  I checked out other pieces of her art on her blog and I just love her style.

Halloween Haunted Village Event - PART 2

The Halloween Haunted House event continues with Part 2!  It’s time to check out some of the other fine businesses in Grimsley Village.

The first stop is the Black Cat Emporium, where you’ll find unique, strange, and sometimes ghoulish items.  If you want to stay the night, you can always get a room at the Buzzard Bed & Breakfast, and should something unfortunate occur, Cadaver & Digger Undertakers will take care of everything.

Before you leave, be sure to stop at the town square where you can say hello to the mayor.

BLACK CAT EMPORIUM

Click here for the supply list at AlphaStamps

You can tell by the name and the décor that the owner is very fond of black cats.

The shop proprietor is Mr. Grimsley.  As you might guess, the town was founded by his ancestors.  What a lovely cabinet, full of all kinds of goodies.

In the shop window, you can see a beautiful crystal ball and a bowl of very rare dragon tears.

Look, they have a one-of-a-kind All-Seeing Eye.  I have no idea what’s in that bell jar, and I’m not sure I want to know.

BUZZARD BED & BREAKFAST

Click here for the supply list at AlphaStamps

The Buzzard Bed & Breakfast doesn’t get many customers; the last was a couple of honeymooners who came and never left. You can see the bride's ghost in the front window.

I bet she was a lovely bride, but now, not so much.

For a spookier look, add spider webs.

CADAVER & DIGGER UNDERTAKERS

Click here for the supply list at AlphaStamps

I see Mr. Cadaver is directing one of his zombie minions.  There are rumors in the town that Cadaver and Digger are digging up more than they are burying.  I suspect they are the ones supplying Ghoul and Sons Chemists with the skeletons.

You don’t suppose that this is where the Retching Toad Eatery's food comes from???  The place looks a bit torturous.

Yes, there is really an embalming solution named “Frigid.”  I guess when you deal with the dead, you have to have a sense of humor.

GRIMSLEY VILLAGE SQUARE

Click here for the supply list at AlphaStamps

The main square is in the heart of the village.  The residents are proud of its lovely 13th-hour clock.  Looks like it's a full moon tonight.

There’s the mayor waiting to greet newcomers.

And look, the Halloween Carnival is coming, and you can buy your tickets at the clock tower.

Looks like the evening edition of the Grimsley Village Herald is out, and tonight’s headline is “Halloween Carnival Comes To Town – October 1”.  There are some other interesting articles too; “Thrifty Witch to Expand,” “Unhappy Customer Sues Grizelda’s House of Beauty,” and “Strange Noises Heard at Night at the Dying to Get in Cemetery.”  

Things are never dull in Grimsely Village!

For those who purchase PDF collage sheets, you might find this older video tutorial of mine that covers how to re-size PDF formatted collage sheets and how to cut and paste individual images from the collage sheets (which is great for only printing the images you want, and printing multiple version of the image) and how to re-size individual images, helpful.
