Smudgy Antics Challenge

today is the beginning of another challenge at the Smudgy Antics blog
the challenge this week is Recycle Something
so I recycled a parmesan cheese jar, and made it into a toy for my lil one

all these lil guys are inside

I stamped out all my grumpies on shrinky dink paper with stazon ink, then shrunk them and threw them in this jar with different kinds of glitter, and some silver and blue beads from a necklace, and some purple stuff I got on a Christmas present (thanks BD) I then filled it with water and some glycerin, I then hot glued the lid (so it wont come open and make a big mess) and there I have a snow globe shaker toy thing.

not sure if I made it for the lil one or the hubs and me:)

I would like to enter this into the following challenges
Hooked on crafts: try something new (first time making a snow globe)
Lexi's Creations: anything goes
Polly craft challenge: anything but a card
Stamps R Us: anything goes
Truly madly crafty challenges: Anything goes

Mourning Glory Challenge

New challenge at the Smudgy Antics blog
the theme this week is "Mourning Glory" (make a project using graves, churchyards, etc)
here is my creation


I used my Death Cab image and senti from the same set as my main images, then used my Holy City stamp and stamped some shrinky dink paper then cut it into a heart and used it for my flower center. I love the simplicity of the card I really wanted the images to stick out!

hope you'll join us this week, and remember use a Smeared Ink stamp to be entered for the prize.

Smeared Ink Sunday

Today being my Smeared Ink Day I have a few things to share with you, first off is this really cool Shrinky dink bracelet I made.

I'm not sure where I got the original idea but I love it! I used the Holy City stamps and stamped them on the plastic then painted the back with white acrylic paint punched my holes and shrunk...I love the way it turned out!!

I have also made this card using the new Aphrodite digi image that I got for free by entering a challenge this month at the Smeared and Smudged.

I imagined her up in the clouds for some reason...so thats why all the light pinks, the senti I typed up, and the background/patterned paper I made a while ago, by melting crayons directly onto my craft iron and then smearing it on glossy paper. The sketch came from Sketch N Stash, also I'm entering this into StampItCrazy where anything goes, as well as the Desert Islands Crafts Challenge....if you have never heard of it you must go check it out its such a fun challenge, and the contents I used are

1. Monochromatic
6. Only one pattern paper
7. The color Red-her hair is red my camera made it look different.
8. No flowers
9. Swirls

for another Smeared Ink image check my post below....its awesomely creepy!

Soul Mates / Shrinky Dink rings

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!
There are a bunch of great things going on at the Smeared and Smudged Forum allot of changes are going to be made on Monday.....but today I would like to share with you our new DT blog its called Smudgy Antics, each day one of the DT members will have something to share with you...one stop shopin for all your creepy, dark, and just down right awesome desires!

Sunday is my day to share, and I have altered this little box...its actually called a love box they are made by durex to hold condoms ;)


I altered this little box using my Holy City Stamp set, I took the image and modge podged it on my box then stamped soul mates on a flower and glimmer misted one flower red and the other black, then I had to make something to go inside it so I made some Shrinky dink rings

I used the birds from holy city, the heart from chicks dig guns, and the skull from Bo Peep. I found the ring tutorial here
my inspiration to make a box came from Jane our guest DT Febuary Challenge which is to create or alter a box to hold a valentine gift or card....I couldn't wait to enter a challenge this month, starting now Smeared Ink is releasing an exclusive freebie that they are giving away to those who participate in any of the Smeared and Smudged Challenges this month!
