Don't Shoot Me Santa

I really did make Christmas cards this year...they just still haven't been sent to some of the people so I can't post them yet...but this one I made for...myself I guess...I just had fun making it :) that and I really don't like Santa so I was giggling the whole time because this Santa is so evil and I think he is showing his true colors...he is such a killer of Christmas!

the image is from the Serial Killer Santa digi set from Smeared Ink along with the senti...and I colored him up with pencils then added some red glittery blood to his cleaver, then I matted it on a baby wipe that I had used to clean up some black ink with a while ago...I just thought it looked cool so I saved it :) then I added a glittery red snowflake and there it is!!

I was inspired by a music video that someone awesome found (ME) and the song is called "Don't Shoot Me Santa" its the Rock N Rolla challenge video for this month over at Smeared and Smudged. I also followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday!

hope you all had an awesome Christmas...I know I did...I just loved how excited my lil one was with everything!

Sandy Claws

here is a card I created for the current challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged forum! There is a challenge each month called "Oh the Horror" and it is based off of movies (horror movies) and this month the movie is Nightmare Before Christmas! love this show and my lil one loves it too WIN!

so here is what I created

its all digi...I used a sandy claws image from Simply Betty and the papers are from My Memories Suite, I colored him up in GIMP.

I would like to enter my card in the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge as well.

I colored the image with pencils, and then got out one of my new Stampin Up embossing folders and rolled it through the bigshot and then added some red ink to the raised areas and then added some cardboard and some gears from a Tim Holtz border punch, and added a Merry Christmas and there I have it...Smeared Ink's Steampunk Santa! isn't he rad?!?

S&S blog hop!

Wahoo it’s time for the Smeared and Smudged blog hop!

This month’s theme is anything goes…perfect and easy!

So here is what I made

 It’s a waterfall card! And it was kinda challenging for me to make it ovals but hey I did it and it looks cool (I think) here are some more pics…

I got the idea to make them ovals because of the current Very Sketchy challenge at the Smeared and Smudged forum…I hate cutting ovals or circles so my bigshot came to the rescue : ) I use digi stamps from Smeared Ink’s Gothic Christmas set…except the lil solder at the end…he is from my new rubber stamp set I just got from the Smeared Ink rubber club…Rick St Dennis’ Dark Holidaze! The first Season’s Greetings stamp is from CTMH and that ribbon I used at the bottom is from Stampin’ Up.

Speaking of Stampin’ Up…they are having a huge sale going on right now…80% off !!! (shop link on sidebar)

here is the rest of the blog roll...be sure you start at the beginning!

Candy is dandy bear toy

Today I have an ATC and Christmas present idea to share with you.

 

isn't he cute? I made this ATC for the Smeared and Smudged swap and used this lil bear from Smeared Ink's Candy is dandy set and "rawr" from creepy lil grumpies...and while I was making my cards I was thinking he would be a cute lil stuffed animal for my lil one...so

here he is:) he was kinda a pain in the butt because of how small he is...I guess I wasn't really thinking about the size to clearly...but I think he turned out cute and I really think my lil one will love him!

 thanks for stopping by, be sure to stop by Smeared and Smudged to check out the swaps, challenges, freebies, and of course all the inspiration!

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

eyes closed

Today is the beginning of a new challenge at Musically Challenged.  

Were doing things a bit different this time...instead of just one video or song you can pick any you want as long as its by The Beatles...either as a group or solo! how cool is that!

So, you can choose to be inspired by one of their music videos, one of their movies, or just one of their song lyrics.

Our sponsor is Sami Stamps, and my image is called perfectlyperched...and the song I chose was Strawberry Fields Forever..

 I had so much fun creating this journal page..I started a new journal and its short and fat and I think I'm going to love it! I put down layers and layers of paint then colored my image and glued it on then added my words and some marks with my black pen.

I hope you'll come join us for this super simple challenge :) I'd love to see what of The Beatles inspires you!

I'd like to enter my page in the following challenges:

For You!

here is a Christmas card I made...all digi...using one of Sassy Studio's Designs images...I won her during the sneak peak of their new release!

fun image huh? I colored her up in GIMP then combined everything with MMS...I added some silver bling and sparkly paper...the challenge is Silver or Gold so I went all silver on this and love it!
I also followed the sketch for Sketch N Stash.

Happy Thanksgiving

today I have a Thanksgiving card to share with you...for all my US friends Happy Thanksgiving...for everyone else...happy Thursday :)

my lil turkey was created with the Stampin Up Owl punch (I just cut off his ears) then the SU scallop punch, and the orange background paper was made by me...and the "gobble gobble" is a stamp from Smeared Ink's Occasions Grumpies.

thanks for looking and have an awesome day!

today is also the release of a few new Smeared Ink digi stamp sets...one of them is the Fringe set and that is where my digi image came from

I followed the sketch at Digi Sketch Challenge

Bad Girl's Club

Today is the beginning of a new challenge over at Musically Challenged and this music video is way awesome! so cool I made two projects!

the music video is Falling In Reverse - Bad Girl's Club (if you click on the name you'll go to the video) and here are my two projects and some pictures that inspired me.

 

 

 

these were both done digitally and I followed sketches for both! and both senti's come from lyrics in the song!
I hope you all get a chance to check out the video and make a project I'd love to see what you make! and if fun isn't enough of an incentive there is a kenny K prize up for grabs!

"not average" I'd like to enter in the Seems a little sketchy challenge, and Kenny K's Anything goes challenge.

"wrapped" I'd like to enter in the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge

Anything goes

Today is the beginning of a new challenge for the Smudgy Antics.

This time the theme is super easy….ANYTHING GOES! 

so there you have it complete freedom!

I have been thinking allot about my babies latley (one is still in me kicking like crazy) so I created a 2 pg layout of the one not in my belly still...

isn't she a scream! I love this lil girl...she's so crazy all the time!

I took some eyes from Smeared Ink's Anatomy 101 (looking eyes) and then just combined everything and added my pics...I love how this page looks and I can't wait to get it printed and in a book!

ok so check out what the other girls have created and enter this challenge for yourself!

Fire and Ice

Its time for another fortnight challenge with Smudgy Antics!  The theme for this challenge is:

FIRE AND ICE.

 

So I created a hi-bred piece...

 

I took the Within digi image from Smeared Ink and colored it half fire half ice (this was fun and I love when ideas work) then I put it on a piece of chip board that I had painted and stamped and then sprinkled embossing powder and glitter on...the ice side has snow flakes and swirls, and the fire side has barbed wire and chicken wire and other grungy hot things. then I put on my image, took a pic then went to my computer and added some lyrics from Pat Bennitar's Fire and Ice (mostly because I had that song in my head the whole time I was creating) and there I have it...love how it turned out!

 

be sure to stop by the challenge blog and see what the other ladies have created and then create your own piece! can't wait to see what you come up with!!!

Day 31

Welcome to day 31

of Smeared and Smudged's

31 days of Halloween!

 

ahh the end of the month...end of the blog hop :( I hope you all had as much fun as I did...and as always I can't wait until next year!

for today's project I made a zombie Halloween game for the little one

I just stamped out a bunch of build a zombie images from Smeared Ink and colored them in the basic colors, then I cut them out and lamented all of them..she likes to put them together...we have to show her how to but she still likes playing with them...I was thinking maybe as she gets older they can become more and more of a learning tool like...color recognition and body parts...she already knows the body parts but she struggles with these guys because they are missing some :) but she likes it so its all good!

have an awesome day and we'll see ya soon!

hAPpY hALlOWeEN!!!

Guess WHOO's 2?!?!?

yesterday was my little girl's birthday and today is her party...so bitter sweet to see her growing up! 

 for her birthday party I made some little owl cupcake toppers using the Stampin Up owl punch and had him wearing different Halloween costumes...I found all the ideas on pintrest and some tutorials on blogs but I mostly had to make them up from a picture I saw.

She loves owls...owls and tigers are her fave...duh I should have made one dressed as a tiger...oh well..later I guess.

 I did make one for her with a little party hat and a stamped sign that said Happy Birthday with her favorite color...blue! his little party hat I stole from a Smeared Ink Grumpie :)

Enjoy the rest of the hop
