we have such sights to show you

here is a card I made for the Oh the horror challenge on the Smeared and Smudged
being that Hellraiser is one of my favorite Horror flix I just had to make something for it!

this lil guy came from the Creepers set from smeared ink...and he reminded me of one of the Cenobites from Hellraiser so I just had to use him. (by the way this cenobite honestly scares me every time I watch this movie!)I colored him with my pencils and some markers used red ink and made smudges, the scratches are from the chicks dig guns smeared ink stamp set...and the background paper is made using wax paper (the guest DT challenge for the month)
I hope you enjoyed it...if you hurry you can enter a challenge too...but you have to get it in by tonight...thanks for taking a look!

sexy hangman

for the Kenny K challenge this week, it is to make a pocket card
I think this is my first pocket card...

I used the Misletoe image and colored her all black like she is the hangman...My inspiration came from the Rock n Rolla music video challenge for the Smeared and Smudged forum... the music video is GroupLove~ Colours
my girl was colored in markers and pencils, and the background paper is stamped from the Smeared Ink set Quoth the Raven. my skulls came from Creepy Glowbugg's shop (love her stuff!)
and I made the lil ribbon flower....
thanks for taking a look...until next time :)
oh and any ideas on what to write on the inside would be really cool...I'm stumped...didn't think it out all the way :)

Heebie Jeebie whos there?

today is my Smudgy Antics day...where I get to share with you some Smeared Ink love!
and I had to play with one of my new digis again...I just love this guy! He is from the new Heebie Jeebie's set

I made my first twisted easel card...don't know why I didn't do it before it was super easy!
quote is from Nightmare Before Christmas, there is a challenge going on at the Burtonesque Dolls to use a song from that movie in one of your creations....this is a line from "This is Halloween", and he is colored with markers...I just love his eyes!

if you are here could you do me a favor....this week for the BD challenge you win by popular vote...could you go vote for me...in 3 days?

I embossed the background the teens are on with my cuttle bug then inked it up...inked up the edges of the whole thing, stamped my Imagine on there (I got that stamp at Walmart....stapology is the company...I think) my teens are colored with pencils and liquid glass applied to their eyes...well Rio's glasses :) all my images are from the Everyday Teen Scene collection.

July S&S Memer Hopping Ducky

Welcome to another great blog hop with the members of the Smeared and Smudged forum!

(you should have come from the super talented Black Dragon)

This month we were given the challenge to alter something....simple enough for me I love to alter...my only problem was what......so after thinking and looking threw my stash I remembered my blog friend Carmen and her blog where she has altered rubber duckies...so I tried my hand at it...not bad for my first try...

whadda ya think of her? isn't she a cutie? I painted her purple then covered her in modgepodge and paper towels....I stamped right on the paper towel...because after all this is a smeared ink hop...and I love to stamp!my stamps came from the Smeared Ink Candy is Dandy set...I put a web on each side and gave her a heart.....awwww...cute...put jewles for eyes and tied a ribbon around her neck...so looking at it I thought it was all sweet and cute and I was going to start over with another duck...until I showed my hubby and he said "whoa thats f***ed up...I like it" so I decided to keep it...that was such an awesome reaction! I already have more duckies on the way so stay tuned...

but for now be sure to hop along and see what the other members have altered for you...your next stop is going to be Jane...

Batty ATC holder

Welcome to the 5th and final day of Smeared Ink previews :( I have been enjoying everyone elses projects so much!!!

today I'm sharing with you, what I think may be my favorite image....

if you don't know by now I love LOVE bats! they are so cute to me! and this lil guy is freakin' adorable!
I made a lil ATC box with him to hold all the ATCs I've made and swapped...I'm not sure where I found the pattern...I had to alter it anyways :) my guy is tinted with colored pencils and has liquid glass eyes...This month at the Smeared and Smudged forum there is a challenge called the Junk Funk challenge and it is to recycle/use a brown lunch bag...so for my lil box I cut out some cardstock, then took my bag and crinkled it up, then flattened it out, then rubbed a brown crayon over it, then heated it (not really sure why I did this...just seeing what would happen...but it turned out cool) then I glued it to my cardstock (just elmer/pva glue) let it dry then assembled...the "ATC" came from a cuttlebug die, and the green paper is leftovers...I think thats it....thanks for stopping by...and joining me on this new release adventure!

I just love how it turned out! I colored her with colored pencils and the background paper I made...I stamped...uh I think it was a tree from tattered angels...on some super thin paper, then inked it up, then ripped it up, then modge podged it to some card stock and made it look all wrinkled and kinda vintage...then stuck a ribbon bow on it and there I have it...I didn't want to do to much because I love the image and the paper so I kept it real simple...hope ya like it:)
