And We're Off !! 31 days of Halloween starts Today

The month long, Smeared And Smudged extravaganza called the 31 Days of Halloween 4 has started. For FULL details it's best to go here and read up. There you will see the massive list of sponsors we have supporting us and doling out loads of prizes for everyone, blogger and hopper alike. This is the first year I'm participating as a blogger. 31 days and 31 projects, I hope I can last the course. For the full blog list please look on the right hand bar. If you're following the list you will have come from the blog of the very talented Valerie.

I'm starting this off with my Smudgy Antics piece for this weeks challenge. Yes - the challenges are still going ahead as well over on the blog as usual.
The theme of the challenge this week is DANCE WITH DEATH and also coincides with the new release of some fantastic images. This one is from the "Dance With Death" range.

It's a fat book page. (I want to bind a few of these that will be made to remind me of this year's fun)
Both the grave yard scene (Holy City #3) and the Dance with Death image were coloured with promarkers. Attached to a dry embossed piece of card from my scrap box then onto a plain black piece. The sentiment was written using red gel pen and reads " 'TIL DEATH DO US PART? "

Now it's the turn of the fabulous Sharon. Her work is amazing. So off you pop and hop.

I will edit this post when I get home from work - I need to schedule it in so that it's up on time.
