Happy Monday and last day of June to all of you hoppers out there today.  Here at Smeared Ink we, the Design Team have such wonderful stamps and papers to work with it is hard to choose a project each month.  

 

You may have arrived from Kapree, and I hope you have left her some input on her wonderful project.  We all love to have feedback and so appreciate and welcome any comments.  Up next is Creepy Glowbugg, who always has such creative inspiration.

 

I have decided to work with the Lil' Grumpies set, which I immediately fell in love with the first time I saw them.  I believe they were also the first full set of digital images I purchased from Smeared Ink.  This week we in the states celebrate the 4th of July.  I have made a little table display, Grumpie Style.

Have a great week and be sure to "Party like a Grumpie."

ASiD#4 and HDH-666

So many FREAKY FUN challenges going on right now people!  

I have not decided exactly what I want to do with this page...maybe a nursery rhyme/song book gone wrong, maybe a fun little calender, or just a book to do with animals on the dark side...hummm so many fab possibilities!

I am going to enter this lovely little lamb into A Step In The Dark who has a their Challenge #4 - Anything Goes or Zombie theme if you need some direction.

Over ripe lambkin is also going to have a go over at Haunted Design House Macabre Monday Challenge Blog.  They have an challenge that the devil himself would love, 666 - The Number of The Beasts.    

The internet never ceases to amaze me.  I wanted a zombie lamb poem or rhyme and so by the power of GOOGLE, I found this lovely little ditty that fit PERFECT with my lively morbid piece of dead fluff.  Poem is below picture and click on the name to take you this poets blog.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece not white you know;
Cause everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

And so much worse than any dream,
She took it into school;
It made the children cry and scream,
To see this lamb so cruel.

The teacher tried to put it out,
But lamb did eat her hand,
As blood did fall, the kids did shout,
But Mary took a stand.

“Why does the lamb eat teacher's flesh?”
The little students cried.
"A Zombie Lamb needs meat that's fresh,"
She said as teacher died.

Ike's World Challenges DT Project

Well, I hope you all are having a great June.  I have been slightly confused for the majority.  Some how I managed to print off three June calendar's all with different dates.  I try to keep a calendar for each of my groups (Design Teams, kids/fam, and Stampin' Up!).  I think I need to come up w/ a better system!  I managed to lose a week and so missed my normal DT posting date for Ike's World Challenges, eeeek!

So, here is my card a little late but you still have time to join Challenge #19 - Monochrome.  I have chosen to work with an image from Ike's Art called Face On, in the shades of green.

Hope you join this and please leave some comments for the wonderful projects that the Design Team has created to inspire you.  Thanks!

 

" There is no exquisite beauty...without some strangeness in the proportion."

Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project

This week I have made an Art Journal Page using Smeared Ink stamps from the Rubber Club Past Offerings and the wonderful Prompt #25 Acrylics by Susan Salyer from the Smeared and Smudged Forum.

"Faster, faster ever faster
and yet faster now they race,
winding, whirling, ever swirling
in the frenzy of their pace
and they shimmer in the moonlight
as they spin themselves through space."

Tune Full of Deets

Stamps are from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club sets Danse Macabre (Jan 2014 #1) and Jack (May 2014 #1).

Background is from the AJED Prompt #25.  I used blues, brown, and gold acrylic paints.  White Gesso as my base.
Stars stencil and blue and white acrylic paint for sky.
Black StazOn ink with stars stamp.
Gold Encore Ink for music swirls.

Skeletons inked and stamped with Night of Navy ink pad.  Main Skellie inked and stamped with Versa Mark Ink then heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.

The full version of the poem can be found HERE.  Poem is called The Dance of the Thirteen Skeletons from Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep by Jack Prelutsky.

Journaling pen for doodles around edges and black Sharpie for words.

Alter A Found Object

 "No cards or scrapbook pages allowed, your item must be 3-D and must have started out as something you found at a thrift store, on the side of the road, in the back of your closet, etc. Show us how you can truly change up that ugly old lamp, or re-cover that forgotten recipe book, the possibilities are endless! Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine) – we love when you use Smeared Ink stamps, but it is NOT a requirement."
