Creepmas Day 2! Smeared Ink Day!

It's day 2 of the Smeared and Smudge's 12 Days of Creepmas and it's a Smeared Ink Day, meaning that if we Jolly Bloggers choose to use only Smeared Ink Stamps, there's a chance at the end for an additional prize.  Merry Hoppers can win too, so check out Terra's Blog for the deets.  Woohoo!  I've made an ornament using a recycled ribbon spool and Smeared Ink's Watchful Eye.  The sentiment is from the Li'l Grumpies Digi set.  If I had kids, I'd hang this baby eye level on the tree to keep them in line all month. LOL  Santa skullie was printed several times, fussy cut and popped for dimension.  Couldn't resist a fab google eye.  His hat is flocked with a trimmed marabou cuff and pom pom.

The circle coverings were cut with my Nesties and I've wound some tinsel around the spool and added a bow to the hanging loop.  Just a reminder that the entire Creepmas line up is on my sidebar, in case you get lost or want to start at the beginning.  Next up is Violent Kittie.  HeeHee! 

I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge, Country View Crafts Bah Humbug! Challenge, the Cheerful Stamp Pad Let's Decorate Challenge.

Macabre Monday Skeletal Remains

It's our second week for the Skeletal Remains Challenge at Haunted Design House sponsored by the fabulous Octopode Factory.  Lily's quirky stamps are  fave of mine and I'm thrilled that's she's offering the winner of this challenge a $15.00 gift certificate to her Etsy Shop.  I've made a Double Zig Zag card that I found on Deneen's Blog.  Thanks for the fab instructions, Deneen!  Here it is closed with a band I made with my new Spellbinders Arched Windows, and MS fence punch and Octopode's Saint Valentine, and Pirate Skull and Crossbones.

Inside a lovely graveyard wedding scene unfolds.  I've been wanting to enter the Sharon's April Guest Designer's Challenge, add an Architectural Element on the Smeared and Smudged Forum so out came the the Arched Window again, this time backed by the Fancy Lattice (also Spellbinders).  The Stair Steps are attached between the back panels and are embossed with the Tim Holts Bricked folder and the steps fold up when the card is closed.

Terrence officiates and the Day of the Dead couple are decked out in their finest for the big day.

I've used Digi Paper from Crafty Chaos (NLIB, boohoo!) with Octopode's Hallowe'en Tombstones both inside,

 

and out.  The edges are trimmed with another MS punch.

You still hangin' in there?  I kinda loved this project, even though it took me forever, so I took GOBS of pix.  LOL  But this is the last one.  Please visit Haunted Design House to see the fab makes by the rest of the Minions (both last week and this) and finds some Skeletal Remains and play along.

Besides Sharon's April Guest DT Challenge at Smeared and Smudged, I'm also entering it in the Cheerful Stamp Pad Gothic Cuties Challenge, and Left of Center (LOC).
