Now, on to my offering for today's hop. I have lots of photos to show my process so bare with me. :)</center>

<center style="text-align: center;">
My mom gave me an awesome ring that she found while shopping some junk sales. The only problem is that I'm not a fan of gold…especially when it's costume jewelry. But….the other features of this ring were too awesome to just toss aside...</center>

…as you can see….pretty cool, huh?</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
So, I decided I wanted to give it a new paint job and make it something that I would love to wear. It started with some Patina paints, some black acrylic paint, some paper towels, some sticky jewels and some glossy accents! </center>

Wooooo….it was fun. I used Edgar from Smeared Ink's Quoth the Raven set. I took the digi into photoshop and made him REALLY small and added "Nevermore" above his head. Once printed I glued him on, framed him up and glossed him down :)</div>

Now for the guts of my post - For September the challenge was picked by the Challenge #8 champs DELICIOUS DOODLES! They chose the theme: <b>METAL MANIA</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Metal is not a medium that I'm very comfortable with, but I love the look of it! The first thing that came to mind for me was "steampunk". So - i rolled with it. Here are some pictures and details of my creation. Since I created a little book there are TONS of pics :)</div>

A little more detail if you're interested:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I happen to have the Vintaj machine so I used some of my dies to create some cool steampunk patters on some metal blanks. I've been wanting to do metalwork for a long time and have been collecting little bits here and there but have yet to really learn how to do anything amazing with it. I did a second set like the one below and painted them really cool with some patina paints and then didn't get to use them because they didn't match anything else in the project. It was a shame, but I'm sure I'll use them sooner or later!</div>

For the cover....I had a shiny goldish paper that i used to cover some cardboard pieces that i cut from a box. Then i used a gear/cog stencil and my dylusions spray inks to create the cool background.</div>

For the pages, I used toilet tissue rolls that were flattened and then covered them in graphic 45 papers. I used some distress inks, goosebumps sprays, and some metallic ink pads to make them really look great. Each page has an insert that can be pulled out. I learned this from Shell's awesome new group <a href="http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/group/the-cheapskate-crafter">"Cheapskate Crafter"</a> on the Smeared & Smudged Forum. THANKS SHELL! It was so much fun!!</div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Here we go folks! We're already on our 7th <a href="http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/page/design-team-throwdown">Design Team Throwdown at Smeared and Smudged! </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This time around we were to embrace the chunk! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I created my Chunky ATC from a mix of different materials. Clay, cardboard, paint, mesh, glue and masking tape. This ended up being no where near what I had envisioned, but I don't have the time to redo it, so I hope you like it! The clay was stamped with Smeared Ink rubber from the Morte set, baked, and then painted (multiple times - i just couldn't get the look i was going for). While the paint was drying I created the rest of my ATC out of cardboard....using various colors of acrylic paint. Masking tape and mesh were added for texture. The main clay piece is inside the cardboard and a window is cut out for the reveal....and the die cut fence placed in front... :)</span></div>

MINI BOOK</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So - here we go. I apologize because this will be a long post and full of photos! I struggled with the planning of this....as most of you know - i am a last minute kinda girl and having to actually plan something out and spend days creating it REALLY threw me for a loop! I've also never really created a book before. I've done a few matchbooks, but that's it....so the construction really baffled me! It was really hard but i'm glad I did it. I'm proud of my creation and hope you like it too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with this little raw wood purse-type thingy.....and decided that I wanted to put my book inside of it. I painted it with black gesso and then hot glued some black furry goodness to it. Next, I lined the inside with foil and also did some foil stripes down the side where I glued some studs (upside-down screws). I also glued screws to the mouth for teeth! Then - the final touch was printing out my creepy red eyes three times, layered them, glossed them and then glued into place. He is the keeper of my book!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for the guts! The book images were printed from some of SI's new images from the Hidden set and Broken and Bleeding set. I colored them all with my copic and prisma markers...then added some touches of glossy accents....fussy cut the all out and set them aside until I was ready for them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pages were assembled using all kinds of fun stuff. DPs, stickers, brads, foil, vellum, transparency, embossing folders, utee, washi tape....etc... The cover was made from cardboard that I textured with molding paste, painted with black gesso and then poured some colored UTEE over it . I wanted to do more with the cover, but there was so much stuff going on inside the book and then once I placed it inside the case I figured "keep it simple". OK - phew! Here are some pics!</div>

Time for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop. The theme this time around is......END OF THE RAINBOW!!<br />
<br />
Now, if you know anything about our members, cute rainbows are not what you will see today! So be prepared! I actually tamed my imagination down a bit. I went colorful and made a step card ( I think that's what they're called). First time for me, so definitely could use some practice!<br />
<br />
I printed the sky image, rainbow and pot of gold from the interwebs (courtesy of google). Then I cut them out and distressed them with TH black soot. I heat embossed some gold into the pot so that the gold was a little more believable. For the background image...I embossed a few different splatters from the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/smeared-ink-rubber-club/">Smeared Ink Inky Dreams rubber set</a>. Looks like my rainbow threw-up on the sky! I also heat embosses some of my Heart wings on black card stock and cut them out so they look like birds. I used pop dots to raise them up. I colored my <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/ghouly-witch-digi-single/">Smeared Ink Ghouly Witch</a> with copics and then cut her out.....and then the grass is just cut from some green paper from my stash. The final touch was spraying it all down with some gold glitter....it doesn't photograph well, so I'm not sure if you can see it. This didn't come out quite as I had pictured it in my head, but that's how it goes sometimes! I hope you like it!<br />

The first thing I did was paint the stomach with black gesso and some molding paste to give it some texture. Then I cover everything in crackle because that takes a while to dry. After it was done drying I started painting! I used a few different colors of acrylics. The botton layer is blue then I dry brushed the green and brown. </div>

I'm really sad to see it end!! The inspiration has been wonderful and even tho i didn't go as "bloody" as I have in the past, I still really enjoyed myself! <br />
<br />
For my last offering I made a choker. I used a heart from <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/smeared-ink-rubber-club/">Smeared Ink's Heart Wings rubber set</a> and stamped into clay...baked, painted, and assembled...here is the final product...hope you like it!<br />

My offering for today is an altered cigar box. I started this a loooong time ago and just couldn't get it to where I wanted it to be...but alas, I have run out of time! I wanted to add some more red to this, but I couldn't find any red paint! LOL. Oh well... This altered box was created using gesso, moulding paste, bits of jewelry, keys, a wood burning tool, acrylic paint, spray inks, distress inks.....etc, etc, etc. I have yet to fill it with something wonderfully creepy...I'll be sure to share when I do!<br />

What would Smeared and Smudged be without an event to celebrate Valentines Day - OUR WAY! Instead of a February member blog hop we will have a <b>three day long BLOODY VALENTINE HOP!</b> Our hop will be on February 11, 12, and 13.<br />
<br />
<div>
Our bloggers are creating one project per day - so you will be entertained!</div>
<div>
I'm first on the list and I hope you have a chance to visit all of the other hoppers on the blog roll (you will find the blog roll at the end of my post).<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
For Day 1, I offer you an ATC...."My Heart Beat"....I will also enter this ATC into the new challenge over at <a href="http://smudgyantics.blogspot.com/">Smudgy Antics - Beating Heart ATC</a>. <br />

I heat embossed my inky splatter (from <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/smeared-ink-rubber-club/">Smeared Ink's Inky Dreams</a>), Atomical Heart (from <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/smeared-ink-rubber-club/">Smeared Ink's Candy is Dandy</a>), and letters (sent to my from Ike) with red embossing powder (to look like blood)...and then I used my white picket fence distress marker to color inside the lines. I trimmed a piece of clear plastic (from a perfume package) and embossed it with my Vintag Big Kick.... Then, the rest was glue and dots. Hope you like it! I will also be swapping this with one of the other entrants at Smudgy Antics. :)</div>

<div style="font-family: Palatino, 'Palatino Linotype', Gerogia, serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: left;">
OK, finally finished my project from the <a href="http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/group/jeansmixedmediauniversity/forum/topics/january-s-mixed-media-tutorial-by-kristy">January Mixed Media class</a> at Smeared and Smudged. This class was really simple and fun! I also love my results - you all should check it out and try it out! I'm sure Kristy would love to see more participants!</div>
<div style="font-family: Palatino, 'Palatino Linotype', Gerogia, serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Palatino, 'Palatino Linotype', Gerogia, serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; text-align: left;">
So, I started with a 5 x 7 canvas and a frame that I picked up from Michael's for $1. I painted them both with black acrylic paint.... once dry, I sanded away some of the black paint from my frame which was originally blue...this revealed some of that pretty blue. Then set that aside.</div>

Next, I got some letters and painted them with my distress pens (picket fence and china). Set those aside. Colored some background stamps and stamped the corners of my canvas (using the picket fence distress marker) and also lined the outer edge. Last, I got my lace and used the china distress marker to highlight the patter in it....and glued it all together.....Here is the finished piece! Hope you all like it! Can't wait to see what everyone else does too!! </div>

Time for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop. The theme this time around is......RIPPED, TORN AND FOLDED!<br />
<br />
Although this seemed easy enough, combining the ripped and torn pieces with a folded piece proved to be difficult for me. I was in a steamy mood so I went for steam punk this time around. I used an image from Kenny K...Brianna Blaster. She was colored with distress inks. The background paper is a mix of stuff i created digitally and some DCWV papers. I embossed manilla paper and ripped them up to use behind Brianna....and I used a piece of vellum to fold and place across the entire thing. I loosly used the <a href="http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/group/thechallenger/forum/topics/very-sketchy-challenge-january-1">card sketch from Smeared and Smudged</a> for my layout....I hope you like it!<br />

I know it's been a while since I posted, but I wanted to share this calendar/box I made for my secret sister for the Smeared and Smudged Creepmas swap this year. She has posted that she finally received it so I wanted to share with everyone now (since it will no longer ruin the surprise)!<br />
<br />
I made this from a LOT of different materials: wrapping paper, paint, different texturizers, distress ink, mod podge and of course a Smeared Ink digi image from the Gothic Christmas set. I took me a little while to create, but I love the end result and it was fun filling the little drawers with goodies :)<br />
<br />
Hope you like it!<br />

You all have been awesome and very understanding. Thank you for your wonderful comments, even when I had nothing to post! :)<br />
<br />
Today I brought you another digital creation using <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/a-little-bit-batty-bat-3/">Bat 3 from A little bit batty</a> (smeared ink) and some images I found via Google. I used Adobe Photoshop to alter and color my images as well as put Nosferatu's silhouette on the moon. I created this for HDH's challenge - <a href="http://haunteddesignhouse.blogspot.com/2012/10/hdh156-nosferatu-ad-nauseam.html">HDH156 - Nosferatu Ad nauseam</a>. Hope you all like it!<br />

I wanted to make it a black cat for halloween and then decided to theme it to go with Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat". Hope you like it!<br />
