Smudgy Antics Christmas challenge

This week at Smudgy Antics the challenge will run for two weeks due to Christmas
the challenge will be Wicked Christmas

and here is another tag that I made, using that same ty-dye paper inspired by this month's Rock n Rolla challenge at Smeared and Smudged.
this tag is for my lil brother, I used the freebie image from last month's round of challenges at Smeared and Smudged. Then I splattered it with black paint, I colored the Santa hat black, and added some snow paint to give it more dimension, and I don't know if you can tell from the photo but I burned the green ribbon to kinda give it more character.
I hope you'll join us this week, you have plenty of time to enter.

If I don't post before Christmas, I hope you all have a Merry one...
I'm so excited for Millie's first Christmas, she just received a new Christmas dress from her Auntie BD and she is super cute in it!

RHPS tag

there is still time...very little but time to enter the challenge at Smudgy Antics this week.
the challenge is to be inspired by a movie, poem, or book....and I couldn't let a challenge like this go without sponsoring my all time fave movie!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show! (image on sidebar)
I created this tag, that is going on my mom's Christmas present...

the Frank n Ferter image came from Ike! the snow globe came from Crafty Ann's via the CDAC freebie challenge, the senti is an altered phrase from the movie. I made the ty-dye background paper that I got inspiration from the rock n rolla video for this month on smeared and smudged (I'll have a tutorial soon for how I made it) but the fishnet stamp is from Smeared Ink's Urban Decay stamp set...

Smeared Ink Steampunk

Smeared Ink's new release blog hop

today we are showing you some of the new images available in the Smeared Ink store just in time for Christmas!

I have posted the DT blogs below this post so you can hop along and see what we have, but you may have noticed that Smeared and Smudged is also doing a 12 Days of Christmas hop, so some of these will coincide with that...so much fab inspiration for you to look at where to begin?!?!?

since your here I might as well tell you about my fabby project

here I have the new Steampunk Elf.

I used my clock mask and inked up my background then splashed some water on it to give it more of a grunge look, then I stamped "time of your life" across the top, and stamped my Happy Holiday stamp and added green stickles to the box next to "Christmas"
I colored my elf with pencils as well as his bat, cat and pressies...but with them I added liquid glass to kinda give the appearance of a shiny metal...and I think thats it...ok onto the rest of the DT members so you can see what they have for ya!

Today is the beginning of another challenge week at the Smudgy Antics blog
and you'll defiantly want to check it out, there have been some updates...

the challenge this week is called "Dear Heart"
and here is my creationI used the "just-one" grumpie and made him all digital and awesome! I used the sketch from My time made easy
be sure to enter this challenge for yourself and invite your friends to do the same!

now onto my news...as you may have noticed I have been doing allot of digital projects lately...the reason for this is because I won a giveaway and my prize was MyMemories Suite Software!!!! I saw that Terra and Sugar also had this software and I hope they are loving it like me...this is how I have been making my digital cards lately, there are so many tutorials it made it super easy to get started...and the fact that I can export them to jpeg files and share them with my family...and you guys...its just awesome! I already have some baby announcements made, and I'm planning on making my Christmas cards this way too, before I received this software I was just going to take my baby pics to Walmart and have them do it...but I like this so much better! its so much more personal, and with all the free digital papers and kits that are out there it makes it that much easier (yes the majority of my digital papers were free, I think the only ones I bought are from Susan's Crafty Chaos) I also just found out that you can add video and sound to your projects...this will be great when making those baby scrapbook pages to send to grandma, and have a lil video of her cooing or her first steps...oh I'm so excited!

I was given two of these softwares, one for me and one to give away. All you have to do is -become a follower of one of these three sites:

Millicent Michele

She’s here! I had my beautiful baby girl a week ago today…almost to the hour :)

She was 7 lb 5 oz 21 inches long…she was born at 7:43 PM

I had to have a c-section…they thought she was going to be bigger…and I had allot of amniotic fluid so they tried to start me and after 24 hrs they asked if I wanted to start over and do another 24 hrs or just do a c-section…I chose not to wait! So she wasn’t as big as they thought…but I’m still glad she is here! She is so sweet! So much dark hair…just like her mommy and daddy :)

I am so happy right now she is so perfect…well except at 3 in the morning…but I’ll get by :S she is sleeping right now and I think I’m going to go do the same thing….so dead tired! Thanks for all the well wishes I’ll try to post again soon…but ya never know!

see...super cute huh? I took my two fave images...both Devil Dolls (surprise surprise) Lilith and Kassandra...I colored them with colored pencils...they are kinda tiny so you can't see much detail but they are super cute in person :)

what I did was I took a can of fruit cocktail (the little ones...about 5 inches...I think) opened them upside down (to keep the pop top intact) (leave a little attached...it helps) ate the fruit..mmm... and then washed and let it dry...I then filled it with some tissue paper and candy (all packed upside down) then I hot glued the bottom closed...decorated the sides and tied it off with ribbon....yup I think thats it...I'm planning on giving these to my mom and mother in-law when the baby is born...kinda like a thank you and congrats on being a grandma...and cuz I know they'll appreciate them :)
