Day 28 of the S&S 31 days of Hallowe'en Blog Hop

Nearly there. Only 3 more after today of this epic marathon blog hop organised by the Smeared and Smudged Forum for the 4th year running.  Next there'll be Creepmas to consider lol. I will have to start them soon to be in with a chance of getting them the way I want them.
For all the rules the forum and Terra's blog are the best places to get the info. Including that of all the fantastic sponsors that have been lined up. There is a list still over on the right hand side bar of my blog should you find your self lost.

I'm hoping to get a bigger item done for the last day but don't hold your breath. I really should have been more prepared. My own fault.
On with today's item.One of the Fat Book pages that I promised my self.

Dilly Beans is just one of the oodles of fabulous sponsors along the way this month. This is just one of the images available in her shop. This is her "Framed Bat Ghoul"

A simple palette of greys, orange and black. Bat boy was coloured with promarkers with just a touch of orange glitter pen. I think you can see better at an angle.

With just a few words "Mmmmm Worms!! written in the gel pen as well. He just reminded me of a childhood rhyme "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, just 'cos I eat worms".
The background grey card was embossed with a sizzix folder. I wanted more texture, so I borrowed Lady Brayton's idea of the fruit net. Thanks LB  :D

Not a great deal more to add except to say 

That's your lot from this cubby hole today. I hope you went to see the lovely Valerie before visiting here and I'm sure equally lovely Sharon would show you a warm welcome over at her blog next.

I am entering this fat book page into the following challenges

Day 18 of this fabulous Blog Hop organised bt the Smeared and Smudged Forum has come around already 

I'm still hanging in here.  :)

Today is Dilly Beans day for sponsoring. It is one of Megan's images I am using today. This is Day of the Dead Frida

The rules and details of all the fabulous sponsors that have generously donated prizes along the way can be found on Terra's Blog and of course on the Smeared and Smudged forum.

The image was coloured with promarkers  then inserted into a pre hand embossed and waxed, red vellum pocket to make a frame. The papers are from the DCWV Creme stack

The layout of the card is based on the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.Just a few flowers from stash added

The blog list is still there in my right hand side bar - should you get lost

Day 2 of 31 Days of Hallowe'en

Hi. Day 2 of the Smeared and Smudged fourth 31days of Hallowe'en blog hop.
For the full blog line up - the list is still there on the right hand side bar. You will probably have arrived from Valerie's blog.
Today we are sponsored by Dilly Beans Stamps. It's, therefore, one of the fantastic images that are on sale in Megan's shop that I am using today on a little ATC.

Coloured with promarkers, cut out and mounted onto a pre-cut ATC blank that was ink distressed with black DI. Some home made flowers from organza ribbon and seed beads, a few die cut leaves and swirls to finish.
Thank you for visiting, now it's the turn of Sharon to go and visit.

Party??

I had a couple of hours last night when I couldn't sleep. So I made a card. Just for fun! One I didn't have to think too hard on. I'll find a use for it soon I have no doubt. It will fit a number of occasions coming up in the next few months. I made it fir a few challenges whilst I was making it though :-)

 No patterned papers just different textured card. I have used 2 different ribbons - a fluffy purple/black and 3mm satin orange ribbon on the tag. The writing/check list done with white gel pen.
The image is from Dilly Beans and they have a party themed challenge on this week - hence the check list. I coloured the image with promarkers and cut out with a nestie.

The black cat in the corner is a rubber stamp from Stamp it Crazy.
The sketch I used is from Eat, Sleep, Stamp sketch #165 and the colours were to fit the challenge over at Forever Night challenges.

That's about it.

Dilly Beans + Alice

Just squeezing this one under the wire with one week to go on this challenge for the Smeared and Smudged forum challenge - Junk Funk.. This month the "junk" to be incorporated into some art form is bottle tops. Smeared and Smudged rules also state that some form of stamping needs to be incorporated. This month the challenge is being sponsered by Dilly Beans Stamps - home of the quirky and fun stamps.
I made a clock.

The background is an image lifted from google and "Alice" was coloured with promarkers, cut out and stuck on.


The base for this is an old CD. I attached 12 lolly sticks at appropriate spacing (all measured at 30deg). The bottle tops were then stuck on. The numbers and the circles are cricut die cuts. (A very good friend lent me her cricut at the weekend and I'm having fun "playing"). The clock workings then attached through the CD hole.

I'd like to enter this clock into a couple of challenges
