Day 11 of 12 Days of Creepmas and Playing Catch Up

Hello there! So, as per usual this month, I am way behind in posting projects. Let's start with the ones that I should have posted yesterday, then I'll do my 11th day of Creepmas.

This 80's Fabulous tag is for the latest Chromatic Craze challenge. I love these neon colors that Laura has challenged us with this month. I plan on using this tag on a future scrapbook page for my daughter (you can see I painted her nickname on it), as she wears these colors pretty often.

The purple embossing powder I used is metallic and fabulous. I love the sheen on it. Next up is Dilly Beans.

This week's challenge is Winter or Christmas. I went with Winter. Isn't this snowman a cutie? He's colored with Spectrum Noirs.

It's tough to see, but the paper I used for the snowflake punch (Martha Stewart. Again.), has pretty chunks of a thin glitter in it. It's subtle, but when it catches the light, it is so pretty.

This last piece is for Creepmas. It uses another fun Dilly Beans image. This is Martin. And I love him. I have used him many times because...for a monster...he really is so versatile.

I colored Martin with my Spectrum Noirs as well, and I watercolored the background. The sentiment I made myself with a Just Rite Alpha stamper. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Jolly Bloggers, all listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creeptastic day!

Wiola, my project for Day 10 used paper from Basic Grey that already had that marbled look to it. It's from the old Color Me Silly Collection, which I believe has long since been retired.

WOW, Alison! You are on a roll. All of the projects ROCK. Love the neon tag. Your DB is the cutest (I've GOT to get that punch) and of course Martin is beyond cool. Love the sentiment and torn DP on the last two. xxD

Alison, these are fantastic. I love them all. I really like the colors on your 80's tag. Poor Martin looks tired already.
Martin is adorable! And I LOVE the Merry Whatever sentiment - I may need to adopt that one!

Three great projects Alison. You have been very busy in the craftroom. My favorite is the Martin card. Love the smudgy sentiment. Merry Whatever indeed!
Crafting Vicky said…
wow these are soooo cool! I totally want that MS border punch!!! And so loving the tearing of the paper that you do. I love the way you have done the sentiment as well for Martin! Very clever!
Gorgeous tag and snowman card and as for Martin...both him and the sentiment, just perfect for Creepmas.

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
