For full deets on this Freaking fangtastic Blog hop organised by Smeared Ink and The Smeared and Smudged forum, please hop on over to Terra's blog. All the info on the days sponsors are there as well as any other info you think you might need. The blog hop roll is there in my side bar.
Good morning folks. I know there are not that may still with us on this gruelling marathon. Numbers have dwindled a lot. Not long to go now though.
Today - a tidy up day for me. My desk looked like a bomb had hit it. Bits and pieces of paper, card, projects started but not finished. You name it - it was there amongst the collection.
So two finished projects today.
The first - my Smeared Ink 's Hallowe'en Grumpie Fatbook now has all the images residing in it. The last one had to be on a double page as it is wider than 4"
Both the floor and walls were over stamped with the mesh image from Smeared Ink's "Quoth the Raven" set using versamark, after masking off my little f(r)iend, and Pan Pastels rubbed over with a sponge.

The little Grumpie was coloured with promarkers
The candle in the image was replaced with a real one.
The skull from the Quoth the Raven set was stamped in latte ink and more Pan Pastels used to colour.
The words are from Carta Bella "Happy Haunting" stack
My second project is using images that were printed out at the same time as yesterday's Hedwig candle.
This time it's the turn of the "Headless Hessian" of Rick St Dennis' to make a come back to haunt you all. As an accompaniment to the wraith wreath made earlier this month.
As you can see - the image takes up more room than can be seen straight on.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments that are still being left.
See you all tomorrow
