31 Days of Halloween: Day 2

It's day two of Wicked Blogging for the Smeared Ink 31 Days of Halloween blog hop! I'm on a roll!

Today is also day two of my Crazy Bird Halloween ATC set. This birdie is the sweetest of the bunch.

This little witch has accessorized her hat with a tiny spider, or maybe that it is her snack for later.

I'd like to thank everyone that left such delightful comments yesterday, so THANK YOU! If you are following the month long blog hop, the side bar contains the blog roll. I am listed as "Lee" which might be good info to know if you get lost. Thanks for coming by and I will see you tomorrow!

31 Days of Halloween: Day 1

I decided to join Smeared Ink as a Wicked Blogger at the very last minute. Signing up was closed late and I joined when I saw the Facebook last call announcement. So here I am, willing to make and blog something Halloween or Day of the Dead themed every day in October. 

Because of my last chance to join status, I am starting out easy and small. I have an ATC (Artist Trading Card) set that I will show individually. My goal is to have a larger project to share on Mondays, but we will see how that goes.

With out further ado, ATC 1: 

I have seen this Crazy Bird done up as Dracula before. Just look at him, his wings just lend themselves as part of the traditional vampire cape.

Time for Steampunk

The Challenge

The Snarky Sisters are going punk, Steam Punk, that is!  This challenge is fun for some of the sisters, while others would rather have their teeth pulled.  Lucky for me, I am in the former group. 

I decided to get painty with my project.  To begin, I glued down some metal letters and numbers that I have had forever.  Once I got into my metals bin, I realized that I hadn't been in ages, so I decided to add other bits to my card and I decided that the butterfly would be my image instead of a digital stamp I had downloaded. The other metal bits on my card are gears, clock hands, and the fuse embellishment.  The paints are Lumiere;  the glitter glass, micro beads, and stamps are from Finnabair (Prima).

Wanna play along and join the sisterhood?? Of course you do...here are the deets you need to know:

You have until 11:55 pm (EDT) on Friday October 2nd to upload your project.

Visit the blogs of my Snarky Sisters to show them some crafty lovin!

Here are our few "Rulez" and other things to keep in mind if you want to play along: Snarky FAQs 

As always, thanks for stopping by!

I'll Pass on the Gas!

It seems that Edna has recently had a stomach bug.  Things have been rather atmospheric around the Sisterhood thanks to her.  In support of Edna's fearsome flatulence we decided to have the "F is for Fart" challenge.  We're always keeping it classy!

Believe it or not, I am no teller of fart jokes. I had to buy a stamp set for this challenge.  I know, right?  The things I must do to participate!  I love the little mouse!  I just painted the image with Distress Inks and sandwiched it between 2 pieces of yellow card stock.  Now I have no one to send it to.

Adorable mice close up.  Find the "Cheese Please" stamp set here from Sweet Stamp Shop.

Are you ready to go make your own fart card?  I know you want to do this! You have two weeks to enter our challenge, that is plenty of time for farting around!  You have until 11:55 pm (EDT) on Friday September 18 to upload your project here.  Need inspiration?  Visit the home blog of the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers to see what our current Queen of Snark, Michelle, and the rest of the Snarky Sisters have put together for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

If you have nothing nice to say...

I have nothing to say...on the outside.  It's not allowed for this challenge because it is for an Image Only project.  Yes, I know Edna still has words, but I had to provide the information somehow.

Most of my favorite cards are Image Only.  I like the two step approach to snark.  You have a card and look at the picture and you think, "what's this about?"  Then you open the card and get your punch line.  Yup, I think I like that second of ........................delay.

The front of my card is done with Dina Wakely paints, a Dylusions stencil and black spray; a Stampendous stamp, and Posca Pens.  The inside is computer generated and I would print it out if my wifi would work in my work space!

Please visit the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for challenge #41: Image Only to see what our guest designers and my snarky sisters have made.  If you want to play along you have until 4 September at 11:55 p.m. EDT to enter!
