Welcome to Day 25 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop sponsored by Smeared and Smudged.  Terra has been working her butt off on this hop and she deserves some love.  Make sure you stop by her blog..first one on the list and leave her some.

I want to apologize for the crappiness of the picture for today.  My camera decided to not work right so I had to use the web cam on my laptop.  I couldn't edit it at all.

I used a cute little zombie from Opal Manor to create this card.  I colored him with Crayola colored pencils and fussy cut him out.  I used some Spellbinders to make a place for him to rest.  The papers are from my stash and the card stock is Recollections and Colorbok.  I didn't add any embellies cause I wanted the little zombie to take center stage.

Thanks so much for stopping by my place today.  Make sure to head through the rest of the blogs today.  I hope to see y'all tomorrow for another Halloween project.

Don't forget to enter into my giveaway...see the Giveaway Post for all the information.

Day 19 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 19 of the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.  I'm so glad y'all could join me.  

OK..Ladies..y'all have done it again.  I have been seeing so many art journal pages on this hop that I felt the need to try one myself.  I found a small 5x5 notebook hidden amidst all the junk in my scrap room and thought..huh..this might work. I took it apart  and made my first page. 

I realized after taking it apart that the pages were very thin.  It's just a regular notebook. So, I glued two pages together and added a piece of Black Recollections card stock to the back.   I think I need a different style of journal.  If  you ladies have any suggestions, please leave me a comment and let me know what I should get.

So, to start, I painted the whole page with Mayco's Softees Acrylic paint in Flat Black.  I only put one coat on it.  I then took a sponge brush and smeared some Mayco Softees Acrylic Orange Rust on some of the areas.   I then crumbled up a piece of copy paper and dipped it in Folk Art Pure Gold Metallic paint and daubed it all over the page. While that dried, I colored in this Sugar Skull from Opal Manor with Sakura Glitter pens and then fussy cut it out.  When the page was dry, I adhered the skull and used a White Gelly Pen to write my sentiment.

I'm not sure if this is what I should have done, but I did it .  Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  Make sure to stop by all the blogs on the roll (posted to the right of this post) and make sure to stop by Terra's blog for the rules, sponsors and winners of the Scavenger Hunt.

Day 13 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome back, Horrifying Hoppers, to our next installment of the Halloween Blog Hop sponsored by Smeared and Smudged.  I am so happy that you stopped by.  

Today's card is a pretty funny one.  I found this cute image as a freebie at Opal Manor.  If you haven't ever been to their site, please do..you can check it out here.  Annie has some cutsy images as well as some wicked cool ones.  This little guy is a Voodoo Doll.  When I first saw the image, I just thought he was cute.  I didn't realize until after I had colored him exactly where the stick pins were....

I was going to add a sentiment about feeling like a pin cushion until I realized the strategically placed pin.  Then, I just couldn't resist this sentiment.
