Hello! We have a new challenge for you over at Musically Challenged! This month you get to be inspired by a classic…George Harrison’s Faster. Our sponsor this time around is KennyK, so that’s where my cool image comes from.
I made a chunky page.(Yes, I am totally addicted to them right now.)
Thanks for looking! Be sure to watch the video and play along with us, if you can.
Hello! I’m here to show you my creation for the current challenge going on in the TSC Recipes FB group. The challenge was to “Make her look awesomely crazy!”
So, here’s my chunky page, using the image from The Stamping Chef.
I think she’s so cool! Thanks for looking!
Hello! I just wanted to show you the cards I made for the Roller Derby that’s going on right now that’s sponsored by Simply B Stamps and The Stamping Chef.
Here’s my card featuring Kitty Paw Vultura from The Stamping Chef. The challenge for this one was 1 ribbon, 2 buttons, 3 background papers.
And here’s my card featuring Bonnie Skullbabe from Simply B Stamps. The challenge for this one was that you had to use hot pink, lime green, and black.
Aren’t these girls cute? Thanks for looking!
Hello! Today is the monthly member blog hop for Smeared and Smudged. The theme this month was Anything Goes.
I decided to alter a box I’ve had for a few years. Here’s what the drawers looked like before I started painting…
I applied gesso, painted it, put on some crackle medium, then painted it again. I added a couple of embellishments to the sides.
My image is from Smeared Ink…it’s actually from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club. After I colored and cut out the image I lit a candle and attempted to scorch the feathers a bit.
I’d also like to enter this into the current Smudgy Antics challenge, which is Burnt Offerings.(I burnt the edges of my image)
Thanks for looking!
Here’s the entire hop list…
Madeleine – You are here
Happy Hopping!

Day 7 of Smudgefest is “SYNONYMOUS SUNDAY”
The challenge is to use the provided image to create a project.
I decided to go with an art journal page today.
The Ghoulipop and owl are Smeared Ink images. The turtle is just a doodle of my own.
Thanks for looking! And thank you for all of the awesome comments from everyone this week! I’m a few days behind, but I’m going to attempt to comment on everything.
Today is Day 6 of Smudgefest! Whoa! I can’t believe I made it in time today. I’ve been away at a stamping convention last night and all day today, so I had to try to throw a project together tonight. Today’s challenge is “Sketchy Saturday”…a sketch challenge(as the name would imply).
I used a digi stamp from Smeared Ink on my card.(I really like this circus set)
It’s a little off, but I think you can tell I was trying to follow the sketch.(at least I hope so)
I had a lot of fun this weekend. I got to meet a couple of friends from one of the online crafting groups I’m in, which was really cool. And I got to meet Dyan Reaveley. She was extremely nice and a lot of fun to watch.
Here’s a picture of us.
Thanks for looking!
Hello! Today we are posting our final challenge on the Movie Magic Monthly blog. I’m a little sad to see it come to an end, but I sure did enjoy the ride. Our last challenge is one of my favorites. My little brother and I used to watch this movie over, and over, and over.
The Wizard of Oz
I bought a bunch of Oz themed stamps last year from Carmen’s Veranda, so I finally had a chance to use them. I couldn’t decide on what to do, so I just made an 8”x10” collage. I used paper from Graphic 45.
(you can click to enlarge)
Thanks for looking! I hope you can find time to play along with us for our final challenge.
Hurray! I got a project made early in the day! For Smudgefest Day 5 the challenge is…
“FLOWING FRIDAY
Create a project using a flowing medium. Some examples could be watercolor, liquid ink, liquid glues, thinned out acrylics, etc.... use your imagination and let the juices flow!”
Now, that’s my kind of challenge!
I used a 4”x5” canvas for my project. I used soft body, and liquid acrylics to paint the base, then I used watered down acrylics for the dripping. I used a rubber stamp from Smeared Ink.(It’s no longer available in rubber, but you can still purchase the digi set) I also added a small chipboard frame and some Tim Holtz stickers.
Thanks for looking! If I get a project up tomorrow it will be late in the day…I’ll be at Stampaway tomorrow!
I’m back! Running a bit behind, but I’m here. For Day 4 of Smudgefest here’s the challenge…
“TWISTED THURSDAY
Make an ATC with a "twist". You can interpret "twist" any way you want to, this is just one interpretation. ATC size: 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" “
I used several rubber stamps from Smeared Ink – See the Smeared Ink Rubber Club. And the broken heart stamp is one that I carved myself.
The “twist” is that there is no end to this ATC. It’s a never ending ATC. And barbwire is twisted, too.
Thanks for looking!
Hello. I’m here to show you a card I made for the current challenge in The Stamping Chef’s Facebook group. The requirements were to use the beautiful image from The Stamping Chef, and “Make it Steampunk-ish/gothic-ish/renaissance-ish/vintage-ish!!”
Here’s what I came up with.
Everything is in gray scale, except for her dark red lips.
Thanks for looking!
Hello again! I decided to play along with a challenge blog that I very much admire…Quoth the Raven. Their current challenge is Tic, Tac, Poe, so there’s a lot of room to play.
I used Stitching, Lace, and Feathers in a row(but I also used pleats, fabric, and flowers).
I made a monstrosity of a hat. I’m going to a stamping convention soon and on the preview night they’re having a crazy hat contest, so I decided that my crazy hat would be a tribute to Mr. Poe.
Coincidentally, the book under the hat is Poe & Fanny by John May.(Yes, I’m a wee bit obsessed)
The Poe rubber stamp is from Artful Illusions. I also used a feather, a feather charm, and a pen nib embellishment.
Here’s a peek at how I made this.
Thanks for looking!
Hello! I was a little worried I wouldn’t get a project done today. I have come down with a whopper of a head cold. Yay!(not so much) Anyway, Day 3 of Smudgefest is a color challenge.
I used a digi from Smeared Ink on my card. I did something different. I digitally colored the image, then printed it out and added a little shadow with markers. I kept the card simple.
Thanks for looking!
Hello! Day 2 of Smudgefest has the following challenge:
“TERRIFYING TUESDAY
Create a project that showcases your favorite scary Smeared Ink image. Go ahead, pull out all the stops and give us the willies!”
I used three images from the Circus Procession digi set from Smeared Ink, and a rubber stamp from the Morte set that Rick St. Dennis did for the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
It’s a 5.5” square card.
The clown is mounted on a wobble, so it looks even creepier when it is in motion…
I’d also like to enter this into the current regular challenge at Smudgy Antics, which is to use fussy cutting. I fussy cut the clown and the banner.
Thanks for looking! Hopefully I’ll see you again tomorrow!
Today is the first day of Smudgefest! It’s a really awesome weeklong series of challenges on the Smudgy Antics blog. Today’s challenge is “Manic Monday – Create a bi-polar project that showcases two opposites.”
Here’s what I came up with, using one of my older rubber sets from Smeared Ink.
I chose to go with fire and water, and blue and orange as my opposites.
And then my daughter decided that she had to play too, so here is her project, using images from Smeared Ink.
She chose day and night as her opposites.
Thanks for looking! Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with some more creations for you!
