12 Days of Creepmas- Coming Soon!

We'd like to invite YOU to join in this year and participate in our 12 Days of Creepmas Smeared and Smudged Style 2012 event. We're offering up a cool prize at the end, and know that you'll have a blast! How can you do this, you ask? Well, there are a couple of ways to participate this year, and below you find all the details.


12 Days Of Creepmas Jolly Blogger

What You Have to Do: Commit to making and displaying one stamped project on your blog for 12 Days in December. To sign up, visit our information page at http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/page/12-days-of-creepmas-2012

The Rules:The project must be handmade by you and be posted by 9:00 am Pacific Time every scheduled day. The project must be stamped, with either a rubber stamp or digi stamp used somewhere, and must be either Christmas or Winter Holiday themed AND fall into the category of "Creepmas" (so creepy, weird, or grungy, basic S&S style).  This year we are once again allowing all digital projects as long as they are the bloggers original digital art. Projects must be "new" in that they can't have been posted anywhere before, including on your own blog, other blogs, forums, or other websites. In other words, no re-using previous projects. Bloggers are allowed to combine projects to fit into other scheduled postings; for instance, if you have to post a DT project that day or are following other challenge criteria, you can combine the project as long as it follows the 12 Days theme.

Bloggers must also post the 12 Days Blog roll with links to all participating blogs in either their daily posts or on the sidebar of their blog for easy access. The 12 Days blog roll will be posted here by November 29.

To qualify for the prize drawing at the end of the month, you must post a project EVERY SCHEDULED DAY in December. If you miss a day, you will still qualify to receive a survival button, but will not qualify for the prize drawing.

Now I bet you are wondering what Smeared Ink Day is! They are the days that we are challenging you to use ONLY Smeared Ink Stamps on your projects! This is not mandatory, however you will be entered to win a prize from us for using only Smeared Ink stamps on those days!!!


12 Days of Creepmas Merry Hopper

What You Have To Do: Hop through each of the 12 Days Blogs that are participating and leave a comment on each project.

The Rules:You must leave a comment on EACH participating blog every scheduled day to qualify for the prize drawing. Your comment should be about the project or something related (ie-no "Here's my comment for today" or "I'm here!"...these types of comments won't count!) and cannot be a copy/paste comment. If you miss a day or a blog, you will still qualify to receive a survival button, but will not qualify for the prize drawing.



Grand Prize Drawing 

At the end of the 12 days, we will be drawing for an awesome shopping spree from Smeared Ink!

Each person who successfully completes the 12 Days as either a Jolly Blogger or a Merry Hopper will receive one entry toward the prize drawing. If you successfully complete both, you will receive two entries. (Meaning if you are a Jolly Blogger and you comment on every blog every day, you have successfully completed both)

We hope you will join us this year for our 12 Days of Creepmas 2012 Event!!
