Smeared and Smudged January Member Blog Hop!

Hello! Today is the monthly blog hop for the members of Smeared and Smudged. If you are following the hop order then you should have arrived here from Tori’s rockin’ blog. If not, the entire list is below for your hopping pleasure.

Our theme this month was “Anything Goes”. The only requirement was that we had to use some kind of stamp somewhere on our projects. Lots of room to play!

I made another mixed media canvas.

I used a couple of the sentiment stamps from the Li’l Grumpies set from Smeared Ink.(available here as a digi set) And I did the little drawing a few months ago while I was in a hospital waiting room, lol. I learned how to draw characters like these from Megan K. Suarez’ Cute and Creepy workshop.

Thanks for looking! If you’re following the hop order then you should be off to Sue’s lovely blog next.

Here’s the entire hop list, in case you need it…

December Smeared & Smudged Member Hop!

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!

Smeared and Smudged August Member Hop

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…

Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop!!!

Hi! Welcome to the Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop With Smeared Ink! If you are following the hop list order then you should have arrived here from Tori’s awesome blog! If not, the entire hop list is in my right sidebar for your hopping pleasure. If you would like some background info on how Skull Appreciation Day got started, then check out Skull-A-Day.

So, I kind of got carried away this year with my project ideas. Please bear with me through my many explanations and pictures. Winking smile

When I signed up for this year’s hop I started doodling, trying to figure out what I was going to do…

And then there was this guy…

I looked at him and thought, he would make such a cool cross-stitch pattern. So I turned him into a cross-stitch pattern…

But he was so lonely, so I made him a girlfriend…

Here are the patterns, if you would like to use them. I would love to see what you make with them. All I ask is that you give credit to me for the pattern, and if someone else would like the pattern, please provide them with a link back here.

Here’s The Dapper Gentleman

and

Here’s Comtesse de Cranienne

(note: the backstitching isn’t actually shown on the pattern, but I’m sure you can figure it out…I used 2 strands of floss, and 14-count Aida cloth)

And because I’m a total nutter, I came up with tea blends inspired by their characters. See here…

(note: I do not make any money if you buy my tea blends from Adagio Teas, but I do get points towards free tea. There is always a link in my right sidebar to my tea blends if you ever just want to see what kind of blends I concoct.)

And the Movie Magic Monthly DT decided to play along with this hop, so I made something movie inspired for that.

I made a jewelry set inspired by the singing skulls from the opening song in Muppet Treasure Island.

Here’s the pendant, using a digi from Smeared Ink…

And here’s the bracelet, using a stamp from Bombshell Stamps…

Background paper on both is from 7 Gypsies. Edges have Antique Gold Perfect Pearls applied to them.

If you have made it this far, you are a treasure, and you have my thanks! xoxo

Your next stop is the fabulous Kapree!

Happy Hopping! And Happy Skull Appreciation Day!!

May Smeared & Smudged Member Hop

Hello! Welcome to the May Smeared and Smudged Member Blog Hop. You should have made your way here by way of the wonderful Black Dragon. If not, the entire hop list is below for your convenience.

Our theme this month is “Anything Goes”, so there should be lots of amazing projects along the way.

I decided to also play along with the current challenge at Smudgy Antics, which is to “Alter a Box”.

Here’s the box I started with…

And here’s what I ended up with…

Here are more views of the various parts…

(quote is from Lip Gloss and Black by Atreyu)

It is just the right size for my mini dominoes.

Digi stamp is from Smeared Ink. So is the barbed wire stamp, but it’s from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club. I added a little bit of Diamond Glaze to the top image.

Thanks for looking! Your next stop is Kristy. She’s sure to have something awesome for you to see. Happy Hopping!

April Smeared and Smudged Member Hop!

Hello! If you’re hopping along with us you should have arrived here from Kapree’s awesome blog. If not, the hop list is below, for your hopping convenience.

Our theme for today is “Dirty Vintage”. How awesome is that?!

I made a mini book. It measures 4” x 3”. I used images from the Smitten and Circus Procession digi sets from Smeared Ink. Lots of distressing. And some Tim Holtz stickers. Fun!

It says “L’amour” on the banner.

I’d also like to enter this in the S&S April Facebook Challenge, which is to “distress it”.

Thanks for looking!

The next stop on the hop is the amazing Susan.

Here’s the full list…

March Smeared and Smudged Member Hop!

I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I’m very happy to be joining in the monthly member hop from Smeared and Smudged today. The theme we were given was “END OF THE RAINBOW...SHOW US WHAT'S AT THE END OF YOUR RAINBOW”.

If you arrived here from the ever lovely Kapree, then you’re on the right track. If not, the full hop list will be posted below so that you can find your way.

So, I was actually honest with this one. I thought about what I would like to find at the end of a rainbow and although I did consider a portal to Wonderland, this is what I would be happier with. Winking smile

Ever since I was a little kid I have wanted to run away with the circus. I’ve always seen myself as a bit of a sideshow freak. And then I read The Night Circus last month. So I would want to be a part of “Le Cirque des Reves” in particular.

The contortionist image is from Smeared Ink. The twisted tree stamp is from Taylored Expressions.

I’d also like to enter this into the current challenge at Smudgy Antics, which is Anything But A Card.(My project is a canvas panel)

Thanks for looking! Your next stop is the always amazing Susan S.!

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Blog Hop

Greetings! Welcome to our hop! You should have arrived here from the Amazing Alison’s blog. Here’s what Alison had to say about this hop…

“I decided that since this was the last movie, I needed to do one last Twilight hop. One more hurrah before it was all over. So, I asked which of my fellow Twi-friends wanted to hop along with me. Happily, there were 6 gals that wanted to join me. So there are 7 awesome stops in this Blog Hop. And we all made some fabulous, Twilight inspired projects!”

Here are the creations I came up with…
