Smeared and Smudged May Member Blog Hop

I was getting back on track, getting organised, was ahead with my work so I thought, hey, why not sign up for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop, ATC swap and Fatpage swap for May... So I did. And I didn't write it in my to do list. Therefore, I've combined the whole lot into one post for the Blog Hop - my swappees don't know who they are so it will still be a surprise when they arrive! I hope!

The Blog hop theme is Anything Goes so my projects work, which is great! The theme for the Fatpage Swap is 'Horror' and at the moment I am watching Grimm - binge watching on Netflix is my favourite thing!! This image on the front of my Fatpage is from Smeared Ink and i've used Distress Inks and blending tool to colour her. I've gone with a watery background - the Sheena Douglas swirls reminding me of seaweed and the pebbles on the floor of the ocean are Inkylicious stamps. The sentiment is from HOTP. This iamge reminds me of the 'La Llarona' episode of Grimm where the woman with long flowing hair steals children and eventually drowns herself!

The reverse side of my page is 'Walking Dead' inspired!! The image is Smeared Ink with the Barbed wire stamp from Visible Image reminding me of the prison yard in the show! She's a bit cuter than TWD zombies, but hey ho. The sentiment is also VI and I've used a Webster's Pages DP for background. The embossing is a Tim Holtz folder with DI blended onto it.

The theme for the ATC swap was Halloween and I signed up for two. I've used 'Crafty Stamps' images and the sentiments and banner are from My Mind's Eye. Again the background is Distress Inks. I've finished with Diamond Black stickles on the web and spider body.

Here is the blog roll for the hop, please start back with Black Dragon or if you're following the roll, your next stop is Jane!

12 Days of Creepmas Day 9 with Smeared Ink

Welcome to the12 Days of Creepmas! This is a blog hop run by the girls at Smeared Ink and you will find the Blog Roll on my side bar for the duration of the hop. If you have just arrived at me and want to see what it's all about visit Terra (the hostess) at More Smeared Ink and follow the rules to be in with a chance to win! If you are hopping, you should have arrived here from Black Dragon  and Teresa is your next stop!

Today I am sharing the front of my December Creepmas Fat Page for the swap at Smeared and Smudged! I have used An Emo Christmas by Teri Sherman, available for a limited time at Delicious Doodles/Delicious Darkness and newly available on Smeared Ink! I have coloured her with Promarkers and added glossy accents to the eyes and Star Dust Stickles to the furry bits. My papers are from Teresa Collins/MME and I've finished with some card Candi.

I will enter my card in Challenge #5 The Final Hurrah at Delicious Darkness.
Again I have used the current sketch from the Sketch 'n Stash Challenge blog so will enter my fat page there too.

Thanks for looking!

31 DOH Day #16 - A Fat Page

Welcome to Day #16 of 31 Days of Halloween! Over Half Way There!!! I hope you are enjoying the festivities! Thank you for all the wonderful comments! You can find the blog roll in my side bar. Your first stop on the hop is Terra, you should have come to me from Lyneen, and your next stop is Rebecca. Remember to comment on all the blogs on the hop for a chance to win at the end of the month and keep in mind the Scavenger Hunt for daily prizes!

Today I have for you a Fat Page! I signed up a few months back for Kapree's Fat Page swap over at the Smeared and Smudged forums and am loving creating these pages - you've already seen one earlier this month, today I have front and back of another page!

I have cut down purple pearlescent card to 6x6" for the base. I cut a skulls&stripes background from black card on my Cameo, mounted onto an orange batty halloween paper for the front of the page. The image is 'The Eater' from Just Some Lines coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is from Create with TLC and the spider motif is also a cut file. I've finished with some purple ribbons/fibers from my stash.

The back is covered with a green and purple paper from Bo Bunny's Fright Delight paper pad and a couple of web borders from the Silhouette store. The image here, I am delighted to say, was a blog candy prize from Susana's Custom Art and Card Designs (SCACD) which I discovered thanks to Alex who you will meet further down the blog hop. This is a Skully Cupcake, coloured with Promarkers and glittered using various colours of Stickles. I fussy cut the image, mounted onto a die cut circle and added a '31' 'paperclip' - cut on the cameo - and some glittery embellishments from K&Co I believe.

I am entering the Just Some Lines Fat Page in the following challenges -
