7. Flowers
8. Bling

Hello! Today is the Smeared & Smudged monthly member blog hop. The theme this month is Anything Goes. As I’ve stated before, I love an anything goes theme!
Here is the full hop list to guide you along your way…
Laura – You are Here!
I decided to make a mixed media canvas piece, since that’s one of my favorite things to make.
I’ve used a few stamps from the Urban Decay rubber set from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club along the edges of my canvas. I really like this stamp set…it’s very versatile.
This was a lot of fun to make. It looks a bit more distressed in person, but I had a little trouble getting it to photograph well. I’ve been saving the spring for a long time, so I’m glad it finally has a home.
Thank you for looking! Happy Hopping!
Hello! I just wanted to share a couple of journal pages I’ve made to go along with some of the prompts and techniques that my fellow Art Journal Every Day DT members have come up with over at Smeared and Smudged.
Tori had posted the prompt of Music Notes, so I came up with this page…
The colors are truer to life in the following picture, but the metallic paint was giving me issues…
I used the Poe stamp from the Quoth the Raven set from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
Susan posted a prompt and technique that was called “Save it”, and this is the page I created for that…
I used a stamp from the Haunted Places 1 set done by Rick St. Dennis for the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
If you’re curious about what the techniques or prompts involve, then I encourage you to head on over to the Smeared and Smudged forum to see what we’re up to in the Art Journal Every Day group. The forum is free and friendly, and full of helpful info!
Thanks for looking! Tomorrow I will be posting a new prompt and technique over at Smeared and Smudged!
Hi! Today we start a new challenge at Musically Challenged. This time, instead of being inspired by one music video, we’re drawing our inspiration from an entire band…The Beatles! 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, so that is where my image comes from this time.
I chose to go with the song Eleanor Rigby. It’s one of my favorites…it’s just one of those songs that has always spoken to me.
Here’s the journal page I made…
Thanks for looking! I hope you will play along with our anything goes Beatles challenge.

Hello! I’m back to show you a card I made for a challenge on the TSC Blog. This challenge was created for the TSC Recipes group on Facebook.
Congratulations to The Stamping Chef for being open for a year!
Tamara gave us this awesome image to create with. It can now be found in the TSC Shop.
Thanks for looking!
Hello! I don’t have a ton of time to play with challenges, so I love it when there’s an anything goes challenge! That’s the theme right now at Smudgy Antics, so I decided to link up the ATCs I made for the November ATC swap on the Smeared and Smudged forum.
I used one of my favorite grumpies from Smeared Ink to make these. All of the grumpies are mounted on wobbles.
Thanks for looking!
Hello! Happy Weekend! Today begins a new challenge at Musically Challenged. This time we’re drawing our inspiration from Bad Girls Club by Falling in Reverse.
Our sponsor this time is Kenny K, so that’s where my image is from.
The video is really high energy and fun, so I tried to incorporate that into the tag I made. I kept getting the cheer from the song stuck in my head, so that was what I used for the sentiment on my tag.
I used some of my Dylusions sprays and some scraps to make the background…
Thanks for looking! I hope you can find the time to play along with us!
Hello! Today begins a new challenge for us over at Chromatic Craze. Here are the new colors we’re working with…

Hello! I’m very excited to tell you that I am a member of the Art Journal Every Day DT over at Smeared and Smudged. Every week we will be bringing you a prompt or a technique post.
Last week I did the prompt, which was Distressing.
Here’s the page that I made for that.
This week I did the technique post, which is Speckles and Splatters.
Here’s my completed page. You’ll have to head over to the AJED group to see all of the step-by-step photos.
Both of my pages feature stamps from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
Please keep in mind that there is a DT Call going on right now for the AJED DT. Follow the link to learn more!

Hello! Today brings us a new challenge at Musically Challenged. This time around we are drawing our inspiration from Love You to Death by Type O Negative. This is one of my favorite bands, and I love this song. I’m so glad I got to see this band in concert before the singer passed away. RIP Pete.
I drew my inspiration from the lady digging through the leaves.
Our sponsor is Ike’s Art, so that’s where my image is from this time.
I made an art journal page. I used a new-to-me technique that I found on the Smeared and Smudged forum for the background.
Thanks for looking! I hope you can find time to play along with us!
