For Part 2, if you get your project in on time, you get a FREE image to use for Part 2.

I love going to the dollar store and found these magnet boards for sale. Of course had to buy a bunch and have used....3, including the project for this challenge. So what if I've had them over 4 years...THEY ARE GETTING USED! <br />

<u>Bubbles of Details</u><br />
<br />
Page is from Me & My Big Ideas. Those witches crack me up!<br />
<br />
All images were printed onto Whisper White card stock.<br />
Each was fussy cut and pieced together.<br />
<br />
Markers, inks, Aqua Painter, and Copics were used to color in images.<br />
Gold Smooch was spritzed onto the swirl coming out of the cauldron.<br />
<br />
Saying is from <i><b>Macbeth</b></i> by <i>William Shakespeare</i>:<br />
"Fillet of a fenny snake,
<br /> In the caldron boil and bake;
<br /> Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
<br /> Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
<br /> Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
<br /> Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
<br /> For a charm of powerful trouble,
<br /> Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."<br />
<br />
Words were redone in Word, printed out, cut out, and adhered to page.<br />
Marker used to help define. <br />

This post is for a <a href="http://www.smudgyantics.blogspot.com/">Smudgy Antics</a> post that was done on <a href="http://www.smudgyantics.blogspot.com/2015/03/dreams.html">March 11th</a>.<br />
<br />
The inspiration for this page was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and a challenge that was based off one of his works.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://poequoththeraven.blogspot.co.uk/">Quoth the Raven, Nevermore</a> has month long challenges. I will be entering this into <a href="http://poequoththeraven.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/quoth-raven-quest-42-dream-on-winners.html">Quest #42 - Dream On.</a><br />
<br />
I have used both digital paper and stamps on this page. The main image is from the digital set called <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/death-cab-digi-set/">Death Cab</a>. The digital papers on the background are from <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/poe-boy-digital-paper-pack-8-5x11/">Poe Boy</a> and <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/vintage-grunge-digital-paper-pack-8-5x11/">Vintage Grunge</a>. Stamps are a set from the Rubber Club Past Offerings, <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/quoth-the-raven-unmounted-rubber-stamp-set/">Quoth The Raven</a>.<br />
<br />
Quote is from <i>Edgar Allan Poe</i><br />
"You are not wrong who deem<br />
That my days have been a dream..."<br />

Today is my day over at Smudgy Antics for the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/">Smeared Ink</a> Design Team to get you an inspirational project.

On my page I have also used the stamp set <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/unmounted-rubber-stamps/">Carnies</a>, but of course!<br />

Then had to rest a bit this weekend and back to the "normal weekly schedule".<br />
<br />
So I missed a couple of posts that I wanted to get in last week. First I have an amazing New Release Blog Hop for the digi set called <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps/productsstackergalleryv20=0">Sea Life (12 piece set)</a> done by some of my wonderful teamies over at <a href="http://www.ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's World Challenges</a>.<br />

You do have all month long to get those projects in and they pretty much accept anything. Anything being twisted, dark, and soooo unconventional. <br />
<br />
Be sure to leave those minions some love/hate as well for the mind numbing projects that they create.<br />
<br />
If you do not know, I am an <i><u>American Horror Story</u></i> stalker. This year has been AAAAmazing and of course now must create!

I finally caught up and have my Day 4 art journal page ready to roll for the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Kickstart Your Art</a> week long challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today is Doodle Day for this Day 4 challenge. I do not doodle so I apologize in advance for my meager attempt. Again I have used my new homemade art journal book "Winter is Here." book for this page. Trying to get at least one journal, for the most part completed.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Since this does have a skull, I am also going to get my page into the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/343275865864145/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming">Art Journal Every Day January Challenge</a>. Skulls must be used on your page. Find our Smeared and Smudged group on Facebook! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Page was inspired by the book series <i>Game of Thrones</i>. </span> <br />

project and have decided to combine today's post with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/791580037581325/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming">KYA Day 3</a>, since I
have only used <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/">Smeared Ink</a> stamps.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The challenge for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/791580037581325/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming">Day 3 is Collage</a>. Definition: a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as
photographs and pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing. A combination
or collection of various things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Log into <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a> and look for the Smeared and Smudge group and join in all the challenges and see some wonderful inspiration from members and the Design Team. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yup, think I can do this and VERY happy with how my page turned out. One of my favorite colors is blue and had these papers out, so all the scraps and what not from that project I was able to use on this. Woohoo!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My lass is from a <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/">Smeared Ink </a>digital stamp set called <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/broken-and-bleeding-digi-set/">Broken and Bleeding</a>. When I colored her in she originally had black eye centers, eyebrows, and lips. But once she was on the page...had to find my Smooch Pealizied Accents and change that to a deep blue. Hard to see in the pic because of the flash.</span><br />

Here is my art journal page for Day 2 of the new <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/791580037581325/">Kickstart Your Art</a> week long challenge. For Day 2 you must use lyrics from a song or poem.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>I have chosen one of my favorite songs, "<i>Crimson and Clover</i>" by <u>Tommy James and the Shondells (1968). </u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Hard to see but used a <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/">Smeared Ink</a> rubber stamp from the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/rubber-club-past-offerings/">Rubber Club Past Offerings</a> stamp set called <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/lost-dreams-unmounted-rubber-stamp-set/">Lost Dreams</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Top of laundry cap to help make designs in the green acrylic paint.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What?? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I have finally got my post on the right day...it is a new year!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/iwc-30-sketch-challenge-week-2.html">Week 2</a> of <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/ikesworld-challenges-30-sketch-winner.html">Challenge #30 - SKETCH</a> here at <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's World Challenges</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Get your Challenge #30 entries in <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/ikesworld-challenges-30-sketch-winner.html">HERE</a> and see <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/ikesworld-challenges-30-sketch-winner.html">Week 1</a> inspiration of this sketch if you missed it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love doing sketch and color challenges and this one was so fun using Ike's images. We as the Design Team are sometimes super lucky to get to use images designed by Ike that are not in the her shop, <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps">Ike's Art</a>. Which was the case with this challenge. Links will be provided for those images you can purchase and if you would like the others...well be sure to answer the next DT call! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The project for this Sketch challenge is a notebook. I have used the images<span style="color: grey;"> <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#%21__digital-art-stamps/productsstackergalleryv20=0">HOLLY FAIRY</a> <span style="color: black;">and </span><a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#%21__digital-art-stamps/productsstackergalleryv20=3">ZOMBIE PET SHOP 2</a></span>, images not in the shop: Xmas Star, Sall's Eagle, and Stable Doors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am a huge fan of all kinds of cats. So happy Ike has a lot of choices. These Zombie Cats are one of my favs. Found out that there is an Egyptian Goddess of domestic cats, <i>Bastet</i>. So this is dedicated to her and to all domestics, alive and dead.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As you may or may not know, <a href="http://haunteddesignhouse.blogspot.co.uk/">Haunted Design House</a> has changed their bi-weekly challenges into monthly challenges. This January the challenge is <a href="http://haunteddesignhouse.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/were-ba-ack.html">What's New Pussycat</a>? And can be interpreted as we would like. So I am using my kitty fetish from this project to enter into <a href="http://haunteddesignhouse.blogspot.co.uk/">HDH's</a> challenge as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Full On Toxic Details</u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ladies are from the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/">Smeared Ink</a> Digital set called <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/toxic-ballerinas/">Toxic Ballerinas</a>. Image was printed out onto Very Vanilla card stock. Colored in with markers. Crystal Effects over eyes. They were fussy cut and then adhered to another piece of Very Vanilla card stock that I had already used acrylic paints on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Layer below ballerinas was placed onto gelli plate, then gone over with reds and paint brush. Wanted to bring out the veins on each of the ballerinas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Washi tape was also placed along center before ballerinas were adhered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tore along all edges and adhered this layer to my journal page.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Base layer of page is what I made for my Winter is Here project...found <a href="http://www.craftyinknik.blogspot.com/2015/01/smudgy-antics-dt-project-and-jan-blog.html">HERE</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Used a variety of blue acrylic inks, spray inks, stencils, sponges, and various nick-nacks to make patterns. Other colors of acrylic inks were added to enhance the pages I was working on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgshEDEOUHM_kCt2bv9ZaD-5MK7mynQsYbOR3P4_8sU7AUGs5VsZxKjef8GQttScS2t8r_aHlF9kkAnsjMMRWScIylz0jSkh23RUshFtL9QxpqlWYlQCiafrhaDwJRVSxLMG6JZrk0uBO4/s1600/12715+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgshEDEOUHM_kCt2bv9ZaD-5MK7mynQsYbOR3P4_8sU7AUGs5VsZxKjef8GQttScS2t8r_aHlF9kkAnsjMMRWScIylz0jSkh23RUshFtL9QxpqlWYlQCiafrhaDwJRVSxLMG6JZrk0uBO4/s1600/12715+001.JPG" height="199" width="200" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once each layer was adhered down, I used the back ground stamps <i>Heads</i> (Daniel Torrente) and <i>French Filigree</i> (retired SU!) with inks randomly on page.</span><br />

mad revellers around. But the mummer had gone so far as to assume
the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood --and
his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled
with the scarlet horror."</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be using two of Ike's images, <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps/productsstackergalleryv20=28">VAMP</a> and <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps/productsstackergalleryv20=15">NEW SHOES</a>, which can be found at <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/">Ike's Art</a>. One of them is also this #29 Challenge FREEBIE!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I saw <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps/productsstackergalleryv20=15">NEW SHOES</a>, the first thing that popped into my head was little girl who was sad that she got her new shoes dirty...with blood! You know me, always on the dark side. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I knew she reminded me of Claudia from <i>'Interview with a Vampire</i>', and so my art journal page was born. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She and her shoes are something new, and the vampire who created her is something old.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will also be entering this page into the January Challenges:</span><br />
