The Masque of the Red Death

The Masque of the Red Death is one of my favorites by the master himself, Edgar Allen Poe. I had a little bit of time to create a digi project for the Quoth the Raven, Nevermore. Quest 9. I used Ikes Art image of Death and added Smeared Ink's EAP. The masquerade image was take from the internet and the rest was created in photoshop. :)

CONFESSIONS SMEARED IN INK! - May Member Blog Hop

Howdy folks! It's time for our Smeared and Smudged Member Blog hop! If you're not already a member at Smeared and Smudged but you enjoy the Alternative, Vintage, and Gothic Art Stamping, you should definitely stop by! We have a great community of like-minded artists/crafters as well as fun challenges and awesome tutorials. The best part about the forum is that you are among people that will appreciate your craft.

The theme for this month's member hop is CONFESSIONS SMEARED IN INK! With this month's Mother's Day celebration we thought it would be fun to have a few confessions from our members....They were asked to use their art to show us something they've never told their Mom about themselves...or about something they have done. This should be really fun!

So, I am not going to go into too much detail about my confession. All you need to know is that I was 19years old, possibly drunk and a a little lonely. It's not something I'm proud of so I was very reluctant to use it for today, but it's the only thing I could think of that I've kept from my mother. We are very close, so she pretty much knows *almost everything about me. If she reads this today....well, then she will definitely know everything about me! LOL. Because of the nature of my confession, I wanted to make it a little more gentle and pretty than most of my other projects. Those of you that know me know that I usually will go for the shock factor, but since this is so personal, I wanted to make it something beautiful. Anyhoooooooo, I will stop stalling now - here you go!

-images are Smeared Inks Dead Dancer and Guide Angel. Paper is digi from Itkupilli.







DON'T JUDGE ME!  ;)


Now, off you go! Be sure to leave some love for our members, they are putting themselves out there for you today!

Bunnicula Inspired Hop

Hello Everyone! Today we will be sharing some creations inspired by the book Bunnicula! This was one of my favorite childhood books (series) and I hope that if you haven't had the opportunity to read it that maybe one day you will - and maybe even share it with your children. :)

Our challenge was to create something inspired by the vampire bunny (as long as you use a stamped image)! After our hop is over we will be swapping our creations - just an added bit of fun :)
If you like what you see and would like to join in some fun stuff in the future, head on over the the Smeared and Smudged forum....we have monthly challenges, monthly member hop and swaps....and lots of fun compradore!

On to my creation. I worked with one of Smeared Ink's new Vampire bunny digi images. I hope you like it and enjoy the hop!! You are sure to see some wonderful things!



In case you haven't read the book - the tag reads " Take good care of my baby" in Russian. It was on Bunnicula when the Monroe family found him in the theater. :)





Now - off you go!

April Member Blog Hop - FRIDAY THE 13th PHOBIA!

Alright folks, sorry for the delay! Welcome to our April Smeared and Smudged Member Blog Hop! Since we had an opportunity of working with THE DREADED FRIDAY THE 13th - i thought what better way than to showcase our fears and phobias! I challenged our members to show us what they're scared of. Today you are going to take a peak inside the minds our our members - hope you don't get lost!

A little background on my biggest FEAR...I've always been obsessed with the UNDEAD, and then while I was pregnant with my daughter (almost four years ago) my emotions got the best of me - imagine that - and I haven't been the same ever since. I have sleepless nights, visions of things hunting me down, horrible nightmares when I do sleep....etc. I think it has definitely changed from being an obsession to being a full blown phobia. I know zombies are popular right now, and I am just as caught up in it as everyone else....but they continue to keep me on my toes and thinking "what if". I've done loads and loads of research so that IF the zombie apocalypse were to actually happen, I would have a fighting chance to protect my family. The biggest thing that scares me is waking up to find my family already turned and trying to eat me. I have a VERY VERY overactive imagination and those of you that know me pretty well can probably imagine the things I see!

OK, So I started this Zombie Journal last year during our annual 31 days of Halloween - well, the front cover, anyway - and I hadn't touched it since. I've been meaning to add to it, so that is what I've done for the hop today. The pics aren't the best, but I hope you get the gist of it all! I still have a lot to add to it too. All the articles came from the Zombie Research Society and all the stamps used are Smeared Ink.

This is the cover that I did last year. The skull image is from  Smeared Ink's Anatomy 101.

Inside cover...nothing too crazy here. I wanted to keep it simple.


Close-up of right page....the bottom part folds out to reveal another article.



Close up again of this page....the maps fold out. These maps show the danger zones in my city and maps locations that might be of interest if there is an outbreak (like places to find supplies and weapons)

This page is pretty cool... It has a similar map but also has two articles....The first is  "which cities are zombie farms?" where it lists cities with high population. The second (beneath the first) is "CDC rates cities' survivability" Both of these articles flip up so you can read them and the page underneath. More pics below.









Another close-up....the brain is a pop-out!




Well, I hope you like my book so far! It's taken some time and I will definitely share when I add more to it! Now off you go - visit all the other wonderful members! I hope you don't develop any new phobias!
