Day 12 of 31 Days: Spooky Girls

Greetings! It's Day 12 of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween. And, there is a new challenge over at Dilly Beans today as well. The challenge for this week is "Spooky Girls." If you are participating in the 31 Days, this is SUPER easy for you to do! I made this a couple of weeks ago, and I have been itching to share it with all of you. I hope you like it!

Isn't she fabulous? I used "Framed Zombie Cupid- #265" I colored this image entirely with watercolor paints. And I LOVED doing it!


She definitely fits the bill for this week's theme. She is totally spooky, but also very sweet.


I added some bugs using a Martha Stewart cupcake decorating stencil and chalk. My sentiment is from Stampendous!. The icky spiders are from a Martha Stewart paper pad. I love how this card came out. I really took my time with it, to get it all just how I wanted it. It was one of my favorite things I've made for 31 Days so far. But, now it's time for you to see what everyone else has come up with for Day 12. I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that has been stopping by and leaving me some love. There is no way that I could say hello to everyone, so I try to hit a few of you each day. Please know, that I am certainly looking at what everyone has made. You are all so talented, and I am inspired by each of you. Keep up the amazing work! The entire Wicked Blogger list is in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Blog Hop Finale

Hello! It's time for the finale of the DecoArt and Stampendous blog hop. Have you enjoyed yourself this week? I bet you've got some new techniques that you want to try. I know I do! I am super stoked about my project for today. And it solves a dilemma that we've had in my kids' room for a while. What you see above is 2 pieces of PVC. And some fab DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics ! So, what am I doing with PVC, you ask? Well, my mom bought my son a light saber(Darth Vader's) for Christmas, and he wanted to display it, but we weren't really sure where in his room, and how. I wanted something cooler than hooks, and we thought it would be neat to have the light saber vertical, instead of horizontal. Plus, there was a fab spot for it if it hung in that direction. So, my husband came up with the PVC pip idea, and I altered the pieces. The end cap holds the base, and the small piece of pipe holds up near the end. And the 2 pieces are spaced out enough so that...
