You Creep Me Out…Day 7 of 31 Days of Halloween

Gasp! I am sharing only one project with you today! I know! It’s crazy! But don’t worry (snicker) I’ll be doubling up again soon, I assure you. ;) Fridays have been named Smeared Ink Days, for the 31 Days of Halloween. We have been challenged to use only Smeared Ink stamps on our Friday creations. This isn’t mandatory, but since I have a new set to play with, I just couldn’t resist! My kids and I have been wanting the Creepy Lil Grumpies set for quite some time now, and it finally arrived the other day. The kids are itching to color up the sets I stamped out for them, but I got a chance to color a bit, and this is what I came up with.

Creep-1

Before I get into the care, I just have to say “Finally!” My purples look purple! I wonder if this means I need to steal my sis’ Nikon every time I use purple on a project?!

Anywho…this little Grumpie doesn’t like you. In fact…you creep him out. I don’t know what you did to make him feel this way, but I think you need to figure out how to make him feel better, quick!

Creep-2

Look at him! He’s so scared! Poor guy. I hope he cleaned out that pumpkin really good before he jumped into it. Pumpkin guts…ewwww!

Creep-3

So of course my Grumpie and sentiment are both from Smeared Ink. I used my Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen in the background to give it some pizazz, and a really cool EK Success border punch. I kept it pretty simple here. Probably because I am battling a nasty cold and haven’t been sleeping well (thanks to my children)…so my brain is on the fritz right now.

That’s all for now. Remember, the rest of the Wicked Bloggers are listed in my side bar.  Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a spook-tacualr day!!!

ADORABLE, and the sentiment (and your post) cracked me up. Except the part about you being sick. Feel better fast, girly! xxD

Such a brightly colored little gumpie - don't know why he doesn't like me 'cept I'm here to make that pumpkin into a pie (evil giggles)! So nice that your children enjoy your stamping too.

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
