Day 2 GIU

Today I followed the sketch from the Unity be inspired challenge 




I stamped it on a book page and colored it with my watercolor crayons again, now this stamp actually has one more owl off to the side but I wanted this to be a thank you from my lil family so I cut him out and only used one owl for each member.

since I'm actually making this post the night before you see it...it is still my little ones birthday, and with her fast asleep we thought on what movie to watch and what better show than where we got her name (Millicent - Barnabas' cousin in the original Gothic Soap series.)
however instead of taking 15 years to watch the soap we just watched the new Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Dark Shadows! and I created this...
 
 the image is from Simply Betty and its called Vampire Portrait.

ahh October 25th three years ago today I was being sliced open and a tiny person was taken from my belly...and I couldn't wait to share her with my friends on the 31 days of Halloween hop! now look at me...3 years later still hopping :) 
 
Today I'm giving you two projects...because my movie page isn't really scary or Halloween-ish...unless you have seen the movie or the movie cover.
 
see...kinda looks innocent and weird, but hey it makes sense in my head! the girl is from Rick St Dennis and the tree is from tattered florals.
 
so here is project #2 a little memory game I made for my big girl out of baby wipe "doors" and Smeared Ink stamps...I'm planning on switching these out and putting something behind them for each season, or just whatever I think of at the time :)

Today is my anniversary, in 2008 I married my best friend and the greatest man ever...bla bla bla mushy mushy lovie dovie...just believe me he is the greatest and I love him!
he is so into zombies, and all this horror stuff with me.
 our first date was to a scary movie, and our honey moon was spent in a haunted room...it is said to be haunted by the ghost of the country rock singer and ex Byrds member Gram Parsons (where we got the name for our son) you pay a little more to stay in this haunted room, it is where he died back in 1973, and there is such a different feeling there...not creepy, more of a peaceful feeling.
 I'm sure you are not here to hear about my gushy love story but to see the awesome zombie card I made for my husband.

the image is from Smeared Ink's Zombie Pinup set, the paper is made by me, and the brain is from the amazing Creepy Glowbugg (she is a little further down the hop list) and she has an awesome etsy shop!

Today's page is based off of the MST3K Werewolf 
 
if you don't know what MST3K is it stands for Mystery Science Theater 3000, it was a television comedy series from the late 90's...the guys at the bottom are forced to watch B-movies and they talk during the whole movie, making jokes and making fun of the movie's flaws and it just makes these old movies so funny! This one was about the movie Werewolf...so funny, but it was suppose to be a horror movie...I donno but I just love it....have you guys seen any MST3K? whats your fave?

So my werewolf image came from Smeared Ink's digi set "part of the pack"
and over at Smeared and Smudged there is a Rock n Rolla challenge where you create something based of a music video, and this month its MJ's Thriller! so I'm going to enter my page there!

Favorite Mistake

I created this journal page today while thinking of my snoozing 3 yr old...she is such a joy in my life and I'm so glad that she likes to be crafty with me!
I created this page with a seahorse that she had altered for me, the horse is from Smeared Ink. and I got him all colored up and set him down to go get my scissors so I could cut him out and while I was gone she took him and added some color, I was a little upset because it had taken me a while to color with the shading and all, I didn't really yell at her just kinda said "Millie that was mom's, your not suppose to color mom's pictures just your own" and she said "oops sorry mom" melted my heart! so I gave her some of her own pictures and went and colored me a new sea horse and kept this one as a reminder that she loves to help, and when I thought it was a mistake, it ended up being an awesome journal page!

PS this happened back when I made these canvases...and ya used the same colors and stuff

Smeared Ink sponsors all sorts of challenges, and one that was sponsored last month was the Dog Days of Summer challenge at Crafting by Design, being on the Smeared Ink DT I got to make a project for them!

Fat Page garden

here is the page that I made for the Fat Page Swap over on Smeared and Smudged


I got to give it to angiesuez and she said she likes it...and I hope she does! I had so much fun making it...with all the chalkboard stuff going around I thought I'd make it look kinda like that...with the mushrooms on the front and spiders on the back (stamps from the Killer bo peep set) I also made a bunch of little tags to go inside that she can write on or put little pics or whatever!

be sure to join us next month for another fat page swap!
