(in case you haven't heard of The Game...it is a fun challenge blog where there are "games" every other week, and you just need to create a piece of art...anything...and I mean anything goes...we even have an adult content warning just in case)
This week the game is Hide N Seek
You are challenged this week to create an ATC with a hidden element; pocket, slide-out, roll-out, folded etc.

So I took my new Queen of hearts digi image from Smeared Ink and created my ATC with that
 I colored it up with my pencils then I added a door with a lil heart brad and you open it to find.....
 
oh so frightened Alice :) I mounted it all on a Queen of hearts playing card that I had alcohol inked red.

Along came a spider

today I have a journal page to share with you...this one was inspired by the current Smudgy Antics challenge "Itsy Bitsy Spider" they want us to turn nursery rhymes into something scary or creepyso.......
whatta think? creepy cool huh? I used my new lil miss Muffet digi from Smeared ink and colored her up with my pencils...then added some more black to her makeup, then I painted my pages background red, and took some black streaks to it, added my image and my quote (taken from Alice Cooper's song) I added some liquid glass to her name, and some stickles to her spider, and added some some big sparkly spiders and some lil punch out spiders added some hourglasses to make them black widows, and...I think thats it...I love how it turned out!

Take these broken wings

today's challenge for Smudgefest is Saturday's Song...and we are to take something from the song Black Bird...by The Beatles....ya'll know how much I love The Beatles so I had to create something awesome...and here is what I created

I just love how it turned out....I watched a youtube video yesterday by Sparkle Tart Kate and she made a background like this...I took a rope and twirled it up and glued it down...then I added some napkins for more texture...then added some glimmer mists and some salt on top of that...this looks really cool in person...then I glimmer misted some paper and printed some lyrics on that. I stamped my wings from the Quoth the raven stamp set from Smeared Ink, then I stuck them in my melting pot with some UTEE and at the last minuet thought to add a second layer...so I cut a new layer melted that then just hot glued them together...I stuck all that on a chain held up by a brad....and there I have my super cool fat page!

Buried Alive ATC

its day 3 of Smudgefest! today's challenge is
So I created an ATC for today's challenge
I kinda based it off of the Smeared and Smudged's Rock N Rolla challenge for this month
the song is Creature Feature - Buried Alive and its a really cool song...they have taken all of EA Poe's work and made a song out of it so I made this
I put the lyrics over some paper I got from Susan's Creepy Chaos (the creature feature set...thought it was fitting) and then I printed that out and inked up the edges and then I stamped my "Never More" senti from Smeared Ink's Quoth the raven set. tied it up with some black sparkly trim and put it on a black base...super cool...if I do say so myself!

I would like to enter my ATC into the following challenges:
