SMUDGY ANTICS - TIME STANDS STILL

Hello my Monday Peeps,

I know with the holidays fast approaching it feels like time is flying by at a dizzying pace.   Everyone is rushing around getting shopping done, planning parties, and buying presents.  Many will be celebrating their holiday of choice soon and before you know it we will be bringing in the New Year!

We at Smudgy Antics are asking you to slow it down a bit for this challenge.  Not only will time be slowing down, it will be at a complete stop because this week's theme is "TIME STANDS STILL".  

Before I show you my piece, I want to say Congrats to last week's Twisted Sister winner........... DONNA

Now for this creation I have used a couple of new digis I have just drawn up for SMEARED INK......

"Warped Time" and my latest "Gravity" and these were put with the beautiful 'Clarice' from the Glam Vamps Set.

I think I am still in 'twisted' mode as I had the funny idea about a Vampire never ageing, so time stands still for her, but gravity still takes it toll - although in my depiction - to the extreme  bwahahahahaha !!!!!

Look away if you've just eaten...................................  LoL Click pic to enlarge if you dare !!! :-D

Well yeah - I've always been a bit twisted so I think you expect no less from me LoL I hope you will pop over and see what my Smudgy Sisters have to offer you and grab some inspiration to maybe join us in this week's Challenge. xx 

Challenges I am entering:

Quirky Crafts Challenge 24 - Come over to the Dark Side

OSAAT - Challenge 140 - Use a Digi

FREEBIE FRIDAY 37

SMUDGY ANTICS' TWISTED SISTERS :-D

We have had a change in the challenges rules.... there is no longer a randomly drawn winner or a Top 3  chosen from those who used a SMEARED INK image.... now we are having just a WINNER.... voted for by the members of the SMEARED INK design team.
Thanks to all those who entered our challenge this week, we enjoyed checking out your creations, so much variety and inspiration.
So now without further ado..... Our winner of the TIC-TAC-TOE challenge is....DONNA.  Many congrats to her and here is her winning piece :-D
                                                     

Now, the challenge theme this week over at SMUDGY ANTICS is  "TWISTED SISTER".
How twisted can you get?  We want to see your dark or naughty side come out to play.  There's no need to hide or be squeamish, we are all freaks here...at least that's what those in The Land of Matilda say about us.  

I wear my Freak Show Badge with pride and so should you (click this link to get your own freak show button)!  Heck, art is art.  I make gruesome things, but that doesn't make me a mass murderer.  It just means I am diverse in my creative process.  My mates make alternative works as well.  Come on, dive in and have some fun!  Screw the pretty, fluffy crap!  Save that for those other challenges.  We like it gritty around here...and TWISTED!

I have used a new digi that I drew for SMEARED INK - just especially for this Challenge. I have coloured my girls digitally in PSE. The background is called 'Deep Inside' and I have also used 'The Grate' from the Quoth The Raven Set.

I hope you will come over and see what my Smudgy Sisters have to show you this week and play along with us and get your 'Freak' on  :-)

FREEBIE FRIDAY 36

Good Morning Peeps,
Did you know it's only 45 days to Christmas ????!!!!  Yikes.
I hope we get another sunny Christmas so we can all eat outside :-D It's extremely windy today and I HATE the wind with a vengeance !!  It rushes down the mountain and trashes my garden and stuff and sends my cats completely scatty :-( It messes with my brain too, so today might be a bit off :-(
Anyhoo, here are your Freebies for today...

NEW IMAGES AT SMEARED INK

Hi All,
Here are some of the latest NEW RELEASE images over at SMEARED INK

TIC TAC TOE AND AWAY WE GO

Happy Monday Peeps,
I am back after a short hiatus and I hope you are all well ? :-D
Today over at SMUDGY ANTICS, our Challenge is TIC TAC TOE... easy right ??  You just pick a line of 3 in any direction from the grid and then make anything your heart desires using what it says. Simples  :-D There are some new Rules for the Challenges now, so don't forget to pop over at take a look on the Smudgy Antics Blog so you can be in with a chance of winning a prize :-)

Here is the grid;

I chose 3D, Monochrome and Glitter, and I made this ATC using "SHEBA" from the Gargoyles Set by SMEARED INK. 

I coloured him digitally, then printed him out and fussy cut him into 8 layers to make him 3D. I stuck the pieces with Silicone glue. I used a stamp and embossing powder in Old Gold on my ATC and then glued the edge and dipped it in gold sparkle glitter. I also used glitter on Sheba's collar and bell. I haven't actually done any heat embossing for a long time, so it was quite refreshing to get some other schtuff out for a change :-)

Now I have glitter everywhere LoL To finish him off I painted him with glitter glue to make him shiny and sparkly - mind you, that does kind of mank up your photograph !!  Still - I think you can see him OK :-D  

Congrats to our Winner from last week..... JULIA....... she gets a coupon to spend at SMEARED INK.

I hope you will come over and play along with us this week at SMUDGY ANTICS - see you there :-D x
