Day 5 of Smeared and Smudged "12 Days of Christmas"

Hello everyone and thanks for hopping by my spot today.
I'm telling you all I will most likely be late for my own funeral.
Yes I was late for my wedding too..LoL.
I just finished the card part of my submission a few minutes ago.
I made a christmas tree ornament using the awesome grumpie rubber stamp from smeared ink.
He is one of my fav's. He looks like a lil chunky grumpie. He's awesome.
I made this last night using popsicle sticks. I can't remember where I first learned how to do this.
Most definately from a blog online somewhere but I apologize I cannot remember.
I painted it red and loaded it with tinsel type glitter stuff. Got his santa hat from another digi I have.
The ribbon is from my stash and the bow is from last year's christmas decoration's.

Here is the Christmas Card.
                                                                     Front...

 

Inside

Image on the front and the one inside are both from smeared ink of course.
I plan to use nothing but smeared ink stamps digi and rubber for this blog hop. I just got my hands on the "Gothic Christmas" set and also the drinking elfette so I should be good to go on christmas image's.
The paper is once again My mind's eye "Lost and Found"
The holly is some more pieces I got in the recent Atc swap and also the poinsettia on the inside came from the same place. The gold ribbon on the front also came from the swap. I ran some walnut stain ink down it and all around the card front.
The embossed card front thing I bought from a lady on etsy.
I dont have a cricut or a cuttlebug so stuff like that i love getting in swap's and stuff. An envelope full of diecuts and embossed paper's would make me happier than a pig eatin sh_ _!  Hint Hint. LoL
I will have a cricut someday. But until then I will continue to trace and cut out, trace and cut out and trace and . yea got stuck there for a minute.

Well please hop around and check out all the other awesome creation's on the hop.
The list is on the right hand top side of this page.
Thank's for looking and thanks again for all the awesome comment's you guy's are leaving me.
Totally not used to this kind of stuff but getting more and more comfortable every day.
Enjoy!

Day 4 of "Smeared and Smudged" "12 Days of Christmas"

Well Well Well it's day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas. I made a simple lil easy card for today.
You guys probably know me by now always rushing around.
I threw in my sick lil sense of humor on this one. You'll see as you go down.
I used a christmas image on the front that I aquired last year from a  Beccy's blog (I hope that's right)
and I used one of my smeared and smudged stamps on the inside.
The greeting I printed off of the internet and the paper is again Lost and Found from My mind's eye.
I got the ribbon from a recent Atc swap that included a bonus of some bling included with your atc.
Got some great christmas goodies to use from it. Just got them yesterday so I will be posting pics of the atc's I got in the mail. I signed up for 3 this time so I got 27 awesome lil piece's of art.
Of course I had to make 27 too. All had to be different too. It was a challenge But I loved it.
I hope everyone is having fun on smeared and smudged hopping and blogging cause I sure am.
See everyone in a few more days
Enjoy!!

Day 3 of Smeared and Smudged" 12 Days of Christmas" blog hop

Hello all. I apologize to anyone who has already dropped by today.
I am totally late getting this up. School-Work-Animals-Hubby there is just not enough time in the day.
As my Grandfather would say "Hurry up girl your burning up daylight"
I didnt get finished with the project I wanted to post today so I took the easy way out and threw together 3 Atc's for you guys to look at.
I will have the other ready for day 4.
Again I used Smeared ink's "Watchful Eye" digi. It is one of their new digi's.
They have just released quite a few awesome digi's. Mostly with a Christmas theme but there are a few that can be used all year round. That's what I was thinking about this image cause I could always just change his hat around and use him all year round.
Gotta think outside the box I reckon. LoL.
I havent been able to buy any of the new one's yet but payday is rolling in quick and then I will have some new one's to play with.
The rest of the awesome creater's are in the blog hop list on the right hand side over there so you can go check out alot of good eye candy.
Smeared and Smudged forum has alot of awesome crafter's.
Anyway I'll get on with the cards. Told you guys I talk too much.

Skull is new digi from Smeared Ink called "Watchful Eye" and the 2 Grumpies are from my new rubber stamp set. I made that lil what they call in the craft world lollipop flower out of an old shirt I cut up for the fabric. Used my copic markers and colored pencils to color everything and the background paper is Lost & Found from My Mnd's Eye. Lil flower on the red hat is stamped from my bombshell stamps. I think that's it.
Please go check out the rest of the team's awesome creation's and tell all your fellow crafter's about the blog hop going on. They also will be giving out prizes again as usual. They are alway's offering challenge's with prize's and all kind's of cool thing's constantly going on.
Enjoy!!

Day 2 of Smeared and Smudged "12 Days of Christmas"

Hello again everyone and welcome to Day 2 of this awesome blog hop.
I made an altered altoid candy tin today. I used smeared ink's new digi release image called "Watchful Eye" he is awesome and you will probably see me using him more than once.
My goal is to use nothing but smeared ink's digi's for this hop.
It may get alittle crazy  looking but I will get er done.
I used stickles and paper from 7gypsies.  My smeared ink digi of course and also a rubber stamp from http://www.sideshowstamps.com/ for the inside. I also used a piece of black shrink plastic to make the wings I glued him too. Cut out a xmas tree and used a bat image for the tree topper and of course some shiny bling. Not christmasy without some glitter or shine somewhere, right? 
Well I hope you all are enjoying this awesome blog hop and have fun hopping around and looking at everyone's fabulous work.Thank's for stopping by here and Thanks for all the awesome comment's everyone has been leaving me.
Enjoy!!

Smeared and Smudged "12 Days of Christmas" Blog Hop

Yeah this is my first ever blog hop. So I hope I do it right. I'm sure there is something that I should have wrote down that I did'nt but I'm sure someone will let me know. I am totally late posting this. WiFi internet is so untrusting. I lost my own service a few month's ago and have been grabbing service from the hospital next door. Most of the time it works pretty good.

Unless of course there is something that I need to do that is very important. Then it doesnt want to work.

I made a card this morning for the 1st day. Well I sorta cheated a bit. I colored the image a few or so days ago and put it all together today. I call her "The Dark Christmas Angel"

I didnt use a smeared ink image and feel bad seeing how this is the first day. But I promise for now on they will be ALL smeared ink digi's and rubber used.

I wont make a card every day either. Just didnt have time to make anything else today.

I'll probably send this Dark Angel to a guy friend of mine that like's stuff like I do. He always ends up with my cards and stuff that no one else I know would like.

He has a box started now he say's.

I cant remember where this image came from. I have 1 more left printed out on paper. Have no clue (sorry) where it came from.

The background paper is basic grey eerie pack and there's stickles on her and I stamped Merry Christmas on a separate piece of paper went over it with a grey marker.

The flower and the black stud thing's are from prima. I bought them off a girl from etsy who has awesome prices on prima's. Her user name is "Layouts from the heart" If anyone is interested"

I buy most of my craft stuff online cause joann's around here cater's to quilter's mostly.

But anyway promise post's wont be this long. I talk to much and yes I've been told that since I was little. Me and my whole family talk alot and loud. We are super loud when we are all together.

Enjoy!

Smeared and Smudged Junk Funk Challenge for November entry

These are the tags that I entered into the "Junk Funk" challenge over at smeared and smudged forum. You had to use a recycle piece of their choosing into your project. I brainstormed this forever not know what to do but then I seen someone that used them to make some snowmen and I copied their idea and made mine into monster's. I tried to get this uploaded onto the forum before the 1st central time I do believe is there deadline but I could be wrong on the time thing. I was pushing to get it central time as I was passed the eastern time midnight.




So either way I had a good time using my new "Lil Grumpie's set I just got in the mail the other day. They are so awesome and I was glad to get them before all the rubber stamps are gone.



They are selling out of all the rubber so if any of you reading this want any of their rubber set's you better hurry up. First come first serve.



I seen today that they have new digi stamps on their store site now.



http://www.smearedink.com/.



Also their 12 days of Christmas is starting tomorrow I do believe.



Well hope you all find the card cute. I had fun making them. I had no plan at all when I started this. I colored the pics I wanted to use but that's all I had planned beside's turning my tabs into monster's.



I stamped lil grumpies eyes and layered them on the the full size stamped grumpie. I cut the bottom off of the grey one cause his feet was just too cute to cover up.



I used rock candy on the bluebird rider and put him on their like he is holding the grumpie. feather's of course. the tab with the circus dude on it is on the homemade paper that I made not too long ago. it was the first I tried to make my own paper. It's ok paper but falls apart real easy. I guess I didnt press it good enough or something. I plan on trying again. I put gesso down on the other tag first and then inked it up and stacked on the images.



I tend to have a problem with over killing my project's. I kinda hate to see empty spot's and tend to load the stuff on. Sometime's that's a good thing but sometime's I over do it and it looks junky.



But again enjoy

close up of the large bread tabs I stamped and layered on the full size cut out's.

The Craft Barn Blog Candy Giveaway.

http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/look-look-look-blog-candy.html

Wow and what an amazing candy giveaway it is.
I am new to the blog posting world thing and have never won a blog candy giveaway let alone offer one myself. I think it is so awesome how many people (crafter's) out there that offer up these types of giveaway's. It is amazing how many generous people are still out there.
I sometime's wonder where all the nice and generous people are these days after I have a sorta bad day around here then I just log onto my many blog's that I follow and see all the different challenge's going on and the prize's being awarded and the blog candy giveaway's that blogger's offer up to anyone.
Whether they know you or not. Just for simply becoming a follower and reading their blog.
Which most of the time alot of people would just do it for free.
I have seen alot of site's offer alot of different goodies of all type's.
I am a very generous person myself. It's just the joy I guess of giving something to someone who otherwise would not have it. That is my enjoyment of giving.
Especially around here with all the limited crafting shop's we have and all.
I do most all of my craft shopping online. We do have a Joann's fabric store but the contents of the store is in the name. FABRIC... I guess around here most of the ladie's and few gents that do craft are just into quilt's. which I like quilt's. who doesnt like a good heirloom quilt, right?
But as far as papercrafting or polymer clay or jewelry, art journal, mixed media it just doesnt exist at my local joann's.
So I do most of my shopping online.
Ok there I go again rambling and totally jumped off of the topic like I alway's do when writing a letter or telling a story.
Anyway I am sure that we have all gotten the point of my post today.
It is always very nice sometimes to give than to recieve.
So at this giving time of year be glad we are all alive and well and give thanks if nothing else.

Smudgy Antic's Weekly Challenge Entry

Howdy everyone lookin.
I am posting a picture of my entry for the challenge over at http://www.smudgyantics.com/.
Theme was to use "Hearts" somewhere on your project.
Well I was lucky enough to win the challenge for last week and the prize was a heart.
It was from their "Inner Working's" set. You can follow this link to go straight to it if you are interesting in buying one for yourself. http://www.smearedink.com/inner-workings-deflated-heart/
They have lots of other cool stamps. Rubber and Digital and other merchandise as well.
I chose to make a large tag this week using that stamp along with some other new rubber stamps I just got in the mail the other day from http://www.bombshellstamps.com/  They are another awesome site that carries digital and rubber stamps. The stamps I used are only available in rubber.
The first set is  "Mi Amor" Mistress of the night Senora Muertas along with the roses and leaves are from their " Sugar Skull's" Collection. and the sugar skull at the bottom is from their "Smiling Skulls" set.
I crinkled the tag and then ironed it out flat and used red brick and black soot distress inks on it.
I also stamped the clock from a wood mounted Tim Holtz stamp.
I also used rock candy from Tim's collection of stuff on the heart and at the bottom left I used a wax seal thingy and put a heart design on it using gold wax.
Added some feather's from my collection.
I love using feather's on stuff that I make.
I do believe that is it. I dont know if I'm supposed to say what all I use or not. I just see other's do it. Well some do and some dont. I myself like it cause it gives me idea's and the know how to buying more craft stuff. I have to buy all mine online and I dont have the thrill of walking down the isle looking so I do my shopping from everyone's blogs.
They are giving away a grumpie image this week and that is another of their awesome stamps I am dying to own. So everyone wish me luck and I wish everyone Good Luck.
Thank's for looking and take care of you and your's.

I also had to throw this picture in. It's of my kitty. Well she's almost a cat now. She stayed little forever I didnt think she was ever gonna grow and then all of a sudden whamo she's huge. Not my lil baby anymore. LoL I love animals. I have 3 dog's and my kitty and 2 rats left.
I had 7 rats at this time last year but if anyone know's rats they sure dont have a long life span.
and it kill's me too. I started adopting rats and got them all at the same time and yepper their the same age and yepper dying really close together.
That's the only downfall of having pet rat's. other than that they are a great pet. Alot smarter than what everyone think's. A person will get bit by a hamster alot quicker than they would a rat.
But anyway enough rambling.
All that from just wanting to post a picture of my kitty cat. LoL
She slept in that blanket all afternoon. That's what all the animal's did today. SLEEP. Including the hubby..

My entry in the Weekly Challenge at "Smudgy Antics"

Hello. It has been a while since I posted on my blog.
I have been doing a few crafty things around the house.
With my classes and trying to take care of all that's mine thing's get a little crunched up sometime's.
But I'm sure we all know about that.
Well I made this wall hanger on Halloween Day so I hope it will pass as an entry.
I have made a few cards and atc's since then but havent altered anything since halloween day.
That's only 12 days ago so hopefully it will pass.
They are all awesome over there so I am sure there will be no problem.
You should go check them out at http://www.smudgyantics.com/
They also have some awesome rubber stamps, digital stamps, and other merchandise on their website.
I had a lady ask me about the heart stamp I used on my journal page for the weekly assignment over at http://www.thegreetingfarm.com/.
It's was the human heart from their "Quoth the Raven" set.
One of my fav sets. I like them all but couldnt wait to get that rubber stamp set.

Ok so now on to the wall hanging.
I used Edgar, the Raven,Nevermore and also the skull is from that set as well. (Quoth the Raven)
The Happy Halloween and Sweet nightmare stamps are also from http://www.smearedink.com/
The feather's are from my stash of pigeon feather's that I collect from out in the yard. Y es we have a few of them that like to roost on the roof. I roughed them up a bit to make them look alittle worn down.
The big raven pic came from http://www.graphicfairy.com/ website. They have alot of awesome clipart there that is free. The word Boo is glued onto coaster's that I collected from the bar I used to work at. I put some gold embossing powder on some spots. Hooked some black ribbon on it and there ya go.
Now it's hanging in my craft room where it will probably be until next halloween. Lol.
Actually I like it that much. maybe I will use it and hang a different image on it for every holiday as they come. I'll change the boo to Xmas and keep everything else the same. colors and all. LoL

But anyway this is my entry for Smudgy Antics weekly challenge this week. "Alter Something"
Thanks for looking and hope you like it.

Couple little things to say

Well first off I would like to mention that I won the weekly challenge over at Kenny K..
Whooo hooo Thats the 2nd challenge I won since I started this online blog stalking thing.
Well I guess I have graduated from just stalking to actually playing along.
I am loving it too. Actually I do still stalk alot of people's blog's.
No way I can ever get through them in a day. Way too many good one's out there.
Although there are a few that I make sure to visit daily.

Second thing I wanted to mention was that I recently took part in an ATC swap.
Wow that was so much fun.
It was offered over at Crafter's Digital Art Center. You can get to it from a link over on the right hand side of my blog. It's the big purple one.
There is all kinds of swaps and challenges and prizes and stuff that goes on over there.
They have a couple swaps going on right now that still have open sign up's so you should go check it out.
Lots of nice ladies over there.
I wanted to post a pic of the cards I got in the mail today from that swap.
It was a Vintage Print ATC Swap. We were each to make 9 cards the same and got 9 different ones back.
Needless to say I am hooked and signed up for every swap they got going on right now. LoL
Yes I said hooked.
But anyway down there is the pic of the cards I got.
I was signed up for 2 groups so I got more than 9 different cards back. The 2 cards I made are on the bottom row.
The first one with man in trench coat on bottom row and the very last one that says charm on it with the lady and white flower on bottom row.
Well hope you guys enjoy looking at the card's.
It was truly a blast making them.
Have a good one....

Kenny K Weekly Challenge Entry

This is my first entry into the Kenny K challenges. I have bought and used their digi's alot and wanted to enter a challenge but just hadnt gotten around to it. Well lately I have been not only being a blog stalker but trying to be a blogger myself. Well pretty much all I do is post my projects online.
This weeks challenge at Kenny K is to use your all time favorite digi.
That was hard to choose. They have alot of new steampunk images that are totally awesome to me but on this challenge I wanted to be true to one of the first digi's I bought from them and used quite a bit on cards and journals and other stuff.
Devilish Donna is the image I chose to use for this challenge.
Colored her with copics and used the rock star cardstock. (I think) that is what it's called. Sorry I cant remember. some bling across the top to top it off. Pathetic try at a laugh I know.

But anyway I really enjoy using kenny k stamps.
thanks for taking a look and enjoy.
Good luck to everyone.

Pin Cushion I'm entering @Smudgy Antics.com weekly challenge "Paint"

Hello all. Below is pictures of a pin cushion i finished literally 5 minutes ago. I was pressed thinking I wasnt going to make it in time. I didnt make it for the challenge last week.
I think the time zone difference is on my side. LoL. Nah it's 11:50 pm so I'm good.
I bought a couple doll baby heads at a thrift store a while back and wasnt quite sure what to do with them.
Well here lately I have been doing alot of sewing so I decided to make me a pin head pin cushion.
I recalled seeing one like this in a craft book a long time ago. I can't remember what the book was called but it had all kinds of wild n funky altered items in it. I wish I could remember the name of it.




When I first seen it I wasnt all that in to mixed media work but have since grown to love it dearly. one of my favorite things to do crafty.



Buy new stuff and make it look old or take a bunch of stuff to make one good project.

 I love the way it turned out.  I stuck my every day red tomatoe lookin pin cushion where the brain should be. LoL. I used burned out fuses for pin heads legs and stuck some lil paper punched rats I bought from this chick on etsy a while back. also stuck one of my frames on the front with a rat inside.
I love rats. I have 3 pet rats left out of 7 the beginning of year. They are all up there in age. That is why I have only 3 now. Downfall of pet rats. 3 to 4 maybe 5 years is all you get out of the little buggers, but they are great. I also took some white flowers and used a black copic marker on them and then glued some eyeballs for the centers of the flowers, took some fiber and wrapped around top of head to cover up my crooked cutting of the scalp, and put a bracelet I made with paper beads around her neck. Blacked her eyes and put some black lipstick on her and sent her on her way to smudgy antics website for the weekly challenge. Oh yea I painted it black first then some crackle and antique white. forgot to mention the whole paint thing. I used my smeared ink rubber sentiment stamp on the front.
Hope you guys like it.

Enjoy!!!

Card Challenges

Howdy. Below is pics of the card I am entering into a challenge they are having this week.
This is the 2nd challenge I have entered to date. Before I am done believe me that number will change.
I used a stamp I recently bought from them that was enclosed in a grab bag I bought from their store
http://www.smearedink.com/ I just love the style of their images. I am so glad that I found them.
Dont get me wrong the frilly pretty flowers and lil girly stuff is nice to play with too but this kind is dearer to my heart and closer to my personality. I just love them.
But anyway get to the point of this post anyway.
I stamped the image onto neenah (sorry neenah but I was out of blend-it) which I have grown to love very well with the markers I use. Yes copics. Who isnt using them now adays, right?
I have to say they are awesome.
Then I pulled out my lighter and went to town. lighting something besides a cig for a change.
I cinged the card as well as the flower and the image I stamped. I put the flame to it all.
Thats about it I guess.
I will learn better ways to explain my creations as time goes on I'm sure.
But hope you guys enjoy.

Getting hang of this blogging thing

Well I did at least today learn how to post to the blog the easy way. I had (what few posts) been posting by adding a gadget. At least I believe that is the way I have what goodies I do have on here.
I have been reading alot of crafting blogs. Should I say that is the only blogs that I read.
I am entering a swap from the crafters digital art site from priscilla's group.
I have my first set of cards finished and will be mailing them off soon.
Been scoping out alot of digital stamp sites lately. Boy there sure is alot of them out there now.
I really enjoy the smeared ink digi's and rubber stamps.
I've always liked the different and unusual.
I will post a pic of them after everyone has gotten there cards.
Dont want to ruin the surprise of seeing them in person for the first time.
At least I would rather see them fresh out of the mailbox.

One more thing on card below.

I wanted to mention that this is the christmas card that I sent to a friend of mine. We have been friends for about 20 some years now. He has been a great caring and giving friend.
This card is the one that I entered into the Scrap and Stamp share your card to lift someone up make them smile and B a Blessing.
This is the 2nd time I have ever entered a card into a contest.
So wish me luck. I think it is so fun to enter card contests and to see everyone else's cards.
Good luck to everyone who enters.
Happy New Year

Christmas Card I made for a friend of mine.

I wanted to make this card a little different than the traditional snowy, santa, angels, jingle bells card. I did throw the christmas word in there and the sheet music for the background.
After all we have lost the true meaning of christmas through out the years. Is it really all about santa, snowmen, jingle bells?

I also wanted to post one last picture. This is and will always be my #1 best friend. Everyone who knew him lost him a few years ago. I think of him everytime I look at pic of this card. He loved indians and everything indian. So this card is dedicated to him and his memory.
He will never be forgotten.
Merry Christmas Wee Pete Mckinney..I love you and we will finish the party some day...

Some cards I made.

Casket candy goodie boxes I made.

Here is a few caskets I made for halloween. I filled them with candy and gave them to a few friends of mine. I think they turned out great. I printed the template from Martha Stewarts website I do believe. lol yes I think that was where I got it. I actually ran out of black cardstock so I used white and painted them with black paint. Then I cut a skull head from a plastic gift bag I bought from walmart and wrapped some jute string around them and gave them to my friends. They loved them...

Learning this Blog world thing..

Well I started this a while back and have actually put it all on the back burner. I guess I am having more fun checking everyone else's blogs out.
I have enjoyed reading over crafters blogs and have learned quite a bit doing so.
I have entered a few sweepstakes and started a few cards for some contests but havent turned any in yet. I just get lost looking at everyone else's cards and crafts and either let the deadline go by or with all the other things going on in my life right now I just dont get the card finished to turn in. I eventually do finish them but usually after the contest is over.
I need to get a ritual going on this blog thing and post some of my crafty crafts and find my spot in the wonderful blog world.
So if you stumbled upon and read this post then thank you very much.
Happy Holidays to all!!!!!

Make it crafty giveaway

Make it crafty is giving away candy. Eye candy I'd say. Looks like it would be terrific to win this bundle of joy.
