12 Days of Creepmas starts today!

Hello everyone! So glad to have you visit my blog today and join me as I kick off the 12 Days of Creepmas 2014 festivities! Today is the first day of 12 Days of Creepmas hosted by Smeared Ink. Just in case you don't know what this is all about, I'll give you a quick run-down.

12 Days of Creepmas started a few years back as a way for us Halloween lovers to extend the creepy season a bit, and what better way than to combine it with another of our fave holidays: Christmas! This is definitely not going to be your typical Christmas themed project share, so be prepared to see some projects that really push the envelope and present Christmas in a creative, quirky, and dare I say, sometimes morbid way. Consider this your forewarning and please be respectful when leaving comments; there is a time and place for traditional Christmas but this hop is not it, and we hope you enjoy what we have to offer.

We've challenged our Jolly Bloggers to create stamped projects that really fit with a Creepmas theme, and they will be posting these project every other day up until Dec 23 and they must have their posts up by 9 a.m. PST. If they complete all 12 days of projects, each Jolly Blogger will be entered into the grand prize drawing at the end of the hop. The winner will receive a $100 digi shopping spree from Smeared Ink!

But wait, as a hopper you also have the chance to win! If you complete all 12 days of hopping by commenting on each and every blog, you will be entered into the grand prize drawing as well. In order to qualify, you must leave a comment on EACH participating blog every scheduled day.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. Your comments also must be posted before the next project, so if you are commenting on today's projects, you will need to comment before 9 a.m. PST on Dec 3.

Here are the dates for this year's hop:

Monday December 1st

Wednesday December 3rd (Smeared Ink Day)

Friday December 5th

Sunday December 7th (Smeared Ink Day)

Tuesday December 9th

Thursday December 11th

Saturday December 13th (Smeared Ink Day)

Monday December 15th

Wednesday December 17th (Smeared Ink Day)

Friday December 19th

Sunday December 21st

Tuesday December 23rd (Smeared Ink Day)

Now, you may be asking yourself what a Smeared Ink day is...these are the days we have challenged our Jolly Bloggers to use only Smeared Ink stamps. If they do, they will be entered to win an extra prize from us. As a hopper, you will also get the opportunity to win something on Smeared Ink days, so be sure to come to this blog to find out all the details on each of those days (and also to see my projects pretty please!)

I think that about covers it for the rules. You will always be able to find the blog roll in my sidebar, and just for good measure I will also put it at the end of this post.

Now I'd like to go over a little something different that we are doing for this year. You may or may not know that Smeared Ink opened in January of 2010. That means we have been going strong for almost 5 years! Can you believe it!??! To celebrate our almost 5 year anniversary, we are going to be offering up 12 Days of prizes during this 12 Days celebration. Since we just redesigned our shop, we are going to do it a little scavenger-style. Here's is the first prize up for grabs:

On The First Day of Creepmas, My True Love Gave To Me....

One of my favorite parts of Anatomy!

Up for grabs today is our "Ribs" single digi image from our Anatomy 101 set.

To qualify for today's prize, visit the Smeared Ink shop and choose your favorite Featured Product or New Product from the home page. Then let us know what it is in a comment under this post. That's it! You have until midnight tomorrow to enter, and we will announce the winner on Dec 3.

Once you've done that, head on over to our Jolly Bloggers and check out all of the fabulous Creepmas inspiration. Don't forget to leave your comments if you are participating as a Merry Hopper. Have fun, and I'll see you on the 3rd!

12 Days of Creepmas 2014-Sign Up Now!

Welcome back to the Smeared and Smudged Blog! We hope everyone is recovering from 31 Days of Halloween and that you are staying nice and toasty this November. You may have noticed a slight redesign of this blog- we are in the process of upgrading our Smeared Ink shop and we're making everything matchy-matchy, so we hope you like it! The new shop should go live soon, so be on the lookout, but for now you can still get all of your favorite Smeared Ink images at the same spot.

In the meantime, we are happy to announce that we are starting sign-ups for our 2014 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop. We'd like to invite YOU to join in this year and participate in our 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'll 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 commit as a Jolly Blogger, add your name and blog address in a comment under this post by November 27.

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.

Posting Schedule

Monday December 1st

Wednesday December 3rd (Smeared Ink Day)

Friday December 5th

Sunday December 7th (Smeared Ink Day)

Tuesday December 9th

Thursday December 11th

Saturday December 13th (Smeared Ink Day)

Monday December 15th

Wednesday December 17th (Smeared Ink Day)

Friday December 19th

Sunday December 21st

Tuesday December 23rd (Smeared Ink Day)

Now I bet you are wondering what Smeared Ink Day is! These 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 have one more round of prizes up for grabs, and you'll find the sponsors for today and today's clue located below.

As for the Grand Prize Drawing, we will announce the winner here on my blog by November 5.  I will definitely need a few days to finish up my tallying as once again we have had outstanding participation this year! Good  luck to all of you Wicked Bloggers and Horrifying Hoppers who made it through the whole month.

Thank you to all of you who stuck with us this month and showed your support for our Wicked Bloggers. It's a huge undertaking to commit to a month-long blog hop with projects each day, and we salute our bloggers! You ROCK!! For those of you who have considered becoming a Wicked Blogger, but want to get a taste of it first ,be sure to join us for 12 Days of Creepmas on the Smeared and Smudged Forum. Details will be posted soon; it's not quite as demanding as 31 Days, but it's still great bloggy fun!

To qualify for the Scavenger Hunt prize drawing, all you have to do is visit the Wicked Blogs and find our hidden scavenger image. We will be hiding one each day and giving you a clue, and anyone who finds it will be entered into a drawing for one of the prizes. Each sponsor for the day will have a different winner, so today we will have two winners!

Once you find the image, EMAIL US and tell us whose blog it is on. 

(smearedinkstamps@gmail.com)

To qualify for today's drawing we must receive all guesses by 9am PST tomorrow morning. If you guess correctly you will get one entry into the daily drawing. The winner will be drawn using random.org and we will announce the winner tomorrow.

Here's your clue for Day 31:

To see me truly indicates danger.

I will stare through your soul as if you're a stranger.

My background X is a definite game-changer!

Do you think you have the answer? Be sure to find the image before you email us.
