September Bombshell Hop

Yes, you read that right! It's been oh so long since I've had the time to play with my Bombshells, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to join in with the other lovely ladies on the Bombshell Forum and celebrate my favorite holiday!

Alison, the Blog Hop Captain, set out this challenge for September:
"Many of our major holidays are just around the corner. I think we all know what my favorite holiday is...but what's yours? My challenge to you is to make a Bombshell project for your favorite holiday. Bonus points if you make a decoration!!! Use any holiday you want and create something that's going to make us want to celebrate!!! "

Well, I think we can all guess what MY favorite holiday is...and if you can't, well, you just haven't been paying attention or this is your first visit to my little corner of blog land :) I just had to make a project for Halloween!!!!! And seeing that 31 Days of Halloween starts in just three days, I was super excited to make a warm-up project to share. BTW, if you don't know what 31 Days is, please click the link for info or come back and visit on the 1st, it's going to be a fabulously creepy-fun month long blog hop with tons of inspiration and amazing prizes!! You can see the list of Wicked Bloggers in my sidebar, and it is HUGE! Come check out how you can win some awesome prizes from some really great sponsors! (hint: Bombshell is one of them!)

Now that that's out of my system, I'll move back to the hop at hand...I'm just so excited.
For my holiday project I had to work with one of the new costumes from the Halloween Dress Up Set for Bombshell Angel. Once again, I did some digital work, but this time I combined digital with hands-on. I created an artwork piece that will later be added into another project during 31 Days (shhhh, kinda a sneak peek). Not quite a decoration yet, but it will be. Here she is, my wicked little witch, complete with black cat familiar.

Bombshell Angel is colored digitally, and the background image and flowers are from Itkupilli. I used black canvas cardstock, and some white crackle paint on two different layers. Then I added ink shading all around and finally some fun little letters for my sentiment, ribbon, and hardware. After taking the pic, I went in digitally and added even more shading and texture and my spider webs. Other than the pic being a little blurry, I think it came out wonderful! It was fun to color the angel up in some bright Halloweenie colors, and I kinda made her look like me with her red hair and all (yes, it's red again!)

So, what do you think? I hope it gives you some inspiration, and gets you in the mood for Halloween! Now you get to hop on through to the other participant blogs and see which holiday inspired their creations. Don't forget to stop by the Bombshell Forum to get your fix and sign up for the blog hop next month. And if you're interested in joining in some fun conversation about our 31 Days of Halloween event, swing by the Smeared and Smudged Forum too. Have a great hop!

Bombshell Hop Day: Color Challenge

Today I am participating in the monthly Bombshell Stamps Hop. It's been such a long time since I've been able to do anything with the Bombshell gals, so I thought it was about time I go over to their forum and sign up. The challenge for this month's hop was a color challenge. We were given this wonderful pallette of five colors from which we had to choose at least three to use in our project.


I have to tell you my colors are a little off. I looked at the colors, picked the top four, then went off to the other room to create. When I got back I realized that one of my colors is more turquoise-y than it should have been. But, I'm still close so I think it counts. Here's my card:


I used the Growing Hearts stamp set, which is one of my faves. I colored my image with watercolors. The background of the card is done with several layers of paint and Kona Krackle. My image is three layers done up on pop dots.

I hand made the flowers, and the leaves are scraps of fabric.

I had alot of fun making this card although it's not exactly correct on the colors. It was a real challenge for me not to add any black in to the card, and the style of it really made me step out of my comfort zone. I hope you enjoyed taking a look.

The hop list is below and I think you will really enjoy visiting all of the fabulous talent from the Bombshell Forum! Also, don't forget Smudgefest starts Monday and I'll be linking up to the challenges here when I share my projects. (If you don't know what Smudgefest is, please come check it out! It will be a blast!)

Have an awesome day!

Bombshell Hump Day Blog Hop Today

Welcome to March's Bombshell Hump Day Hop! It's been a while since I've had the chance to participate in one of the hops, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use one of my all time favorite materials to work with...METAL!!!

Kas is our new blog hop captain, and this month she challenged us to make something on metal, with metal, around metal, or about "metal"; I'm sure you get the point. I took the challenge literally, and since I love working with soda cans, I decided to cut one up and use a sheet of it as the base of my design.

*click to view larger


I used the butterfly images from "Butterfly Queen" and stamped them with Stazon, then colored with Bic markers. Then from the back I rubbed "bubbles" into the metal using the marker tip.

The glitter images on my card base come from the "Pinstriping" set. I colored them with Bics as well, and then covered with irridescent glitter. Although the lighting of my picture is not fabulous, I hope you can see it well enough and enjoy the card.

So, if it's been a while since you've hopped with Bombshell, or if you've never hopped, you may not be aware that there is an awesome prize! And here it is:

How can you win it you ask? Well, just leave a comment here on my blog and tell me what you think about my project. Then when you hop through to the other blogs, leave them a comment as well. Every comment gives you another chance at winning the March Prize Package.

Don't forget you can also enter the Bombshell Sketch Challenge and the Monthly Challenge for EVEN MORE chances to win!

Here is the list of the other participants, so hop along and enjoy!

December Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Welcome to the December Bombshell Hump Day Hop! Starting now, rather than hopping weekly, the Bombshells are bringing you a monthly hop dedicated to showcasing wicked projects and cards featuring Bombshell's awesome stamps!

To start the new year off right, I made a card featuring images from the "Love and Luck" and "Striped By Me" sets. It's very simple. In fact, if you visit Smeared and Smudged regularly you probably know that I like stuff. Lots and lots of stuff on my projects! But I wanted to bring a simple, stripped down vibe to this card to emphasize the beginning of a brand new year.


*click pics for larger views*


I colored the birds and banner in bright colors to illustrate a bright and beautiful future, and used the luck and fate banner to symbolize a fortunate year. The metal brads and medallion are tacking down the vibrant decorative paper over the crumpled vellum; covering the "old" and symbolizing a solid, clean start.

I know, lots of info on such a simple card, but I'd like for you to know the thinking behind it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this and that you hop to the other participants blogs as well. Don't forget, for every comment you make, you have the chance to win the prize from Bombshell! Happy Hopping!!

Christmas Angel- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Welcome back to Smeared and Smudged for a December Bombshell Hump Day Hop. It's been a few weeks since I've participated in the hop, and I missed it! But I chose the right week to join in again, as this is Ms. December's Challenge Week. Give a warm, Bombshell Welcome to Ms. December, Erika T!

So now on to this week's theme...have you been naughty, or nice this year? Ms. December posed this question to us and challenged us to make a project that portrays our answer. Of course, when I heard this, I had every intention of making something naughty. We all know I like to be naughty! But like always, I started stamping and another idea popped into my head.

Yesterday me and my family spent the day decorating our Christmas tree, so ornamnets were coming out the ying yang. And looking at the tree today, I thought it would be fabulous to add a little Bombshell love to it. My project for today turned out to be a very NICE Christmas Angel ornament, using the Bombshell Angel stamp set. (I guess this will have to represent one of my daughters!)



The picture's kinda horrible, but you can see she was super simple to make by just cutting and coloring, then backing with chipboard. I made her skirt from some extra-wide gold ribbon, and the wings came in a RAK from Kathi (thank you Kathi!). I finished her off with a pipe-cleaner halo, some microbeads on her flower, and a hook in the back. She makes an excellent addition to our tree!

So now, hop over to see if the other girls have made naughty or nice projects, and be sure to leave comments for an entry to win the prize this month! If you wanna check out the December Challenge, you'll find it HERE. Have fun hopping!

Bombshell Hump Day Hop

But, I thought I'd point you in the right direction and link to the hoppers! Be sure to give these ladies a visit and see their awesome projects!

The Creationist Tree Spinner- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Welcome to the first November Bombshell Hump Day Hop! Just in case you haven't been here before, each Wednesday the Bombshell Design Team brings you a wicked blog hop that features themed stamp projects and fabulous prizes!

Getting an entry to win is really easy. Just take a look at my project and leave me a comment. Then hop over to the other DT member blogs and leave them a comment about their project as well. For every comment you make, you get an entry.

This week we are all welcoming our Ms. November Bombshell, Mary G.

Big, warm welcomes to you, Mary!!!

Ms. November has presented us with a challenge that rocks, literally. Our challenge is to use song lyrics as inspiration for our project, and I am so thrilled to be participating this week. I LOVE using song lyrics! To view the challenge details, visit the Bombshell Stamps Forum after you've hopped.

For my project I wanted to use the song "The Creationist" by Kerli, which is the song playing on my blog today. The lyrics are:

This is an old and funny poem
I accidentally overheard.
It keeps the little children playing
And bigger children spread the word.
My memory is bad so I always tend to forget
How it goes but

Life is my creation.
Is my best friend.
Imagination is my defense.
And I’ll keep walking
When skies are grey.
Whatever happens
Was meant that way.

Your no better or no worse than the others
We are all the same.
Life is just a moment
You might as well enjoy this day.
It’s time to start believing that everything you want is
On its way and

Life is my creation.
Is my best friend.
Imagination is my defense.
And I’ll keep walking
When skies are grey.
Whatever happens
Was meant that way.

We’ll be growing
Into knowing
While we’re flowing
Keep on going

Life is my creation.
Is my best friend.
Imagination is my defense.
And I’ll keep walking
When skies are grey.
Whatever happens
Was meant that way.

I’m a creationist, oh
I’m a creationist.

This is an old and funny poem
I accidentally overheard

When I listened to the lyrics I knew I wanted to make something free and creative, so I chose to make a tree spinner. It is similar to a windchime; you hang it in a tree or on a porch outside, but instead of making noise it spins in the wind.


*click pics for larger views*











I used an awesome piece of metal that I found at goodwill for the top piece. I'm not sure what it was supposed to be, some sort of decoration, but I painted it up with acrylics and nailpolish to suit my purpose. Then I used scrabble tiles to make my two spinning words: create and live. These words are interchangeable in my world! I can't live without creating, it's just part of me.

My paper art collage doll at the bottom of the spinner was made using five different Bombshell sets: Mermaid Anchor, Pirates Life, Till Death, Sugar Skulls, and Butterfly Queen. I also used the banner that says "No Regrets" from the Girl's Ruin set on the front of the metal piece. Both were colored with prismas and nail polish. On the back of the art doll, I scripted out the lyrics to the song so you can see them when it spins.

To me this spinner represents my interpretation of this song, and I hope you enjoy it! I wanted to make it colorful and fun, something that represents how I feel when I create. It reminds me that no matter how bad life gets, I will always have what is truly me!

So, now that I've told you all about what I think of the spinner and the song, I'd love to hear your opinion. Please leave a comment, and then hop over to the other blogs!!

Til Death Coffin Box- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Welcome to the Bombshell Hump Day Halloween Hop! This is the first hop where non-DT members have been invited to participate, and I'm really excited to be sharing, and to see what others have done with the Halloween challenge!

If you've never hopped with the Bombshells before, it's really simple... just take a look at my project, leave me a comment to be entered into the awesome giveaway from Bombshell Stamps, and then hop to others and do the same thing using the link list at the bottom of my post.

This week our challenge was to use the Martha Stewart coffin treat box template you see below to build our own version of a Bombshell coffin!





I decided that using paper simply would not do for my own project, so I used clay instead to build a wicked Halloween jewelry/treat box.. Here's what I came up with.



*click pics for larger views*










I used the Til Death and Tattoo Backgrounds sets to make my coffin, and painted it to look like antique silver. Not just for Halloween, this one has definitely gained a permanent spot on my dresser to hold jewelry and any other goodies I might see fit; I LUUUVVVV IT!!!!!!! I'd love to hear what YOU think, so leave me a comment to get an entry, and then hop over to the other blogs to see what they've done! Happy Hopping!

Dancing Jack Skeley- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Welcome to the Bombshell Hump Day Hop! If you're unaware, each week the Design Team Members from Bombshell Stamps bring you a fantastic blog hop featuring awesome projects and a cool monthly prize. Just visit each DT member on the list and leave them a comment; for each comment, you're entered into the drawing at the end of the month! The more comments you leave, the more entries you get!

This week our theme is paper piecing, and I have to say I took alot of liberty with the theme. I sat down with the best intetntions of making a card... then, surprise surprise, I thought of something else.

I did use some paper piecing techniques by stamping onto scraps of decorative paper and coordinating different pieces. You can't see it very well in the pictures, but my project used four different coordinating papers. They all have the same color scheme, just different patterns, so it's a little harder to tell unless you're seeing it in person.

My project this week is a Dancing Jack Skeley made from the Muertas Doll set. He is supposed to be like those little toys where you pull the string and their arms and legs go up and down. Since there's alot of movement to him, I included pictures for you to see the design, and a video of him actually moving. (I hope the video works right this time!)

See Jack In Action



I'm loving Jack and his silly dance! I'll definitely be using this technique to make all sorts of these fun dancing characters for Halloween; my kids are crazy for them!

I'd love to hear what you think, so please tell me by leaving a comment! Then hop over to see the other Bombshell DT Members and their projects:

Day of The Dead Tealight Holder- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Today marks alot of things here on Smeared and Smudged. It is day 14 of 31 Days of Halloween. It is the 6th Bombshell Hump Day Hop. And, it is the first time I am featuring a Day of The Dead project! So welcome to the hop, I hope you enjoy it!

The theme for this week's hop is "What was I thinking?"

We've all said it, we've all thought it, now the Bombshell Design Team Members are showing it off! This was quite a challenge for me, and not because I don't hoard things or have an impulsive shopping disorder like so many others... it's because I recently cleared out all of those long forgotten purchases and have almost bare shelves! Not really, but most of what I have I use frequently, so it was hard.

I'm running short on What Was I Thinking supplies, but, I did manage to dig this bad boy out. It is a Christmas cookie tin that has been waiting in the deep dark recesses of a closet, just waiting for the right altering project to come along!



To prepare this tin for its magic makeover, I pulled out a butane torch, some safety goggles, and a breathing mask, and burned the paint off. Don't try this at home without a breathing mask! The fumes are toxic!! Then I used a wire brush to scuff it up a bit and get the rest of the paint off. Finally, I cut the tin into a strip, removing the bottom and top circle portions. This gave me a good surface to stamp on.

Using stazon, I stamped out my sugar skull images that came from the Bombshell "Sugar Skulls" and "Alter Skulls" sets. I used tin snips to cut out my shape, and then went to town with my paint pens. I know the coloring techniques are very similar to last week's hop project, but I had so much fun with that one, I wanted to do it again!

Unfortunately, the finish on the tealight holder is so glossy that I had some problems taking pics without glare! So I took some inside and outside. The outside pictures have a truer color, and the inside ones have more detail, so between the two you can get the idea.

Outside

I hope you enjoy what I did! This is my first Day of The Dead decoration, and I plan on making lots more. Don't forget to leave your comment for entries to both the Bombshell Contest and the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Candy. Then visit the other Bombshell DT members:

Speed Demon- Bombshell Hump Day Hop

Thanks for joining me this week for the Bombshell Hump Day Hop! Once again, the Bombshell Design Team members are bringing you a blog hop featuring thrilling projects for your inspiration!

Today all of the participants are showcasing their version of Ms. October's Color Challenge over at Bombshell Stamps. Welcome Jacquie as Ms October!!!!! And thanks for the fabulous challenge!

The colors to use are orange, green, black, and optional purple. My version of this challenge is a speed demon, featuring stamps from the Vintage Raceway and Sacred Heart Bombshell sets.

I stamped my demon on aluminum and colored with paint pens. He came out a little more "cartooney" than I had planned, but I guess watching Disney's Cars six times in a week will do that to you! At least it's a good excuse... The cool thing about using the aluminum was that I was able to mold the image to make him pop off the card. To me, he looks super 3-D!


*click for bigger pics*


I did learn a couple of things about paint pens as this was my first time using them, and I plan on going back and getting some Ultra Fine Point pens for more detailed work. For now, this ended up being a great Halloween card for my nephew!!!

So now, leave your comment below this post telling me what you think and you'll be entered into both the monthly drawing over at Bombshell Stamps, AND 31 Days of Halloween Blog Candy Contest!(see my sidebar for more info on candy). Then visit the other Bombshell DT members blogs to catch a glimpse of their contest projects!!

Bombshell Hump Day Hop-Disco Skeleton Pencil Holder

Welcome to the Bombshell Hump Day Hop!
Every Wednesday the Bombshell Design Team Members are bringing you a fabulous blog hop featuring killer projects. When you leave comments on our projects, you're entered to win an awesome prize from Bombshell Stamps! Since this is the last hop in September, the prize winner will be announced soon.

Here's how it works: Start at any of the Bombshell Design Team Member Blogs and take a peek at their Hump Day project. Leave them a comment and tell them what you think about it! Then follow the links to the other DT member blogs and leave them comments. Don't forget, the more comments you make, the more entries you get!

Now on to the project! This week our Captain Inky challenged us with the theme "Pencil Me In"...basically use any type of pencils on our project! For some Copics lovers this may prove difficult; but since I don't have any yet (don't get me wrong, I WANT THEM!) and I use my Prismacolor pencils on the vast majority of my projects, I thought I'd do something a little different.

Of course I used my Prismas, but I decided to not only color with them, but make a project based around them! I've been holding on to this really nifty pencil box that I found at Goodwill for a while now, just waiting for the right idea to come along. The box is really slick because it opens two different ways. Here are some "before" pics:







You can see how the box opens from the side and the top. Well, for some reason Disco Skeletons danced their way onto my box!!

*click pics to see close up*








I altered the box first by adding some homemade sculpture paper in black and silver to the outside. It was somewhat like wrapping a present and I think it turned out pretty cool. Then I took mirrors from a tiny broken disco ball and made my "dancefloor" area.

I added crystal and silver brads, and ribbon on the hinge to embellish. My skeletons came from the Bombshell Retro Cowgirl set and were colored using my pencils. Now my Prismas have a happy little home! Much better than a ziploc bag.



Now it's time to tell me what you think, and then dance on over to the other Bombshell Hop Participants:

Welcome to this week's Bombshell Hump Day Hop! Every Wednesday all the Bombshell Design Team Members are bringing you a fabulous blog hop that features exciting projects all along the way! When you leave comments on our projects, you're automatically entered to win this awesome prize from Bombshell Stamps:

This week our Blog Captain, Angela, challenged us with the "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" theme. Of course, with all these movie contest themes running through my head lately, what do you think the first thing I thought of was? MOULIN ROUGE!!!! One of my all time favorites!

One more movie card won't hurt anyone! So here it, based on the scene when Satine is swinging high above her top-hatted beaus, singing "Diamonds..." I'm not usually one for girly girly, but in my mind this card is sexy and sassy, just like the movie. Not to mention COVERED IN BLING!

*click pics for better views*







I used the Bombshell "Cherry Bomb" set for this one, and she fit just perfectly on her swing, feather butt and all. Doesn't she look like she's having fun? And the glitter runneth over!

I hope you enjoy my version of this challenge as much as I enjoyed making it; don't forget to leave your comment and then hop on over to the other blogs.

Bombshell Hump Day Hop

And once again we're off! Welcome to the Bombshell Hump Day Hop! Just in case you missed the details last week, myself and the other Bombshell Design Team Members are bringing you a fabulous hop each and every Wednesday! If you leave comments on our projects, you're automatically entered to win a fa-bo prize from Bombshell Stamps!

Here's how it works: Start at any of the Bombshell Design Team Member Blogs and take a peek at their Hump Day project. Leave them a comment and tell them what you think about it! Then follow the links to the other DT member blogs and leave them comments. The more comments you make, the more entries you will have to win a great prize from at the end of the month!

This week I decided to go all out and bring you a Neverending Card video tutorial! Unfortunately, I'm getting over a sore throat and was loosing my voice, so I had to stop the video a couple of times to recoupe. And since this is my first video tutorial, I also learned that youtube will not host long videos. But all in all, I think it still turned out great. I hope you enjoy the project.

When you're done viewing, leave me a comment and let me know what you think. And be sure to hop over to the other gals' blogs and leave them a comment too, the more you comment, the more chances you have to win!

SOUND PROBLEM IS FIXED(I HOPE!) Unfortunately I had to cut a minute or two from the end of the first video in order to get it hosted right, so I will try to explain the steps in between the videos, very easy so there should be no problem. Sorry for the technical difficulties! I hope you still enjoy the tutorial.



* Attach your large squares to the two center squares on your base using adhesive of your choice, centering them from top to bottom and lining up the inner edges against the opening in the middle of the card.

* Attach your smaller rectangles of deco paper using adhesive, to the small rectangle areas across the top and bottom of your card. Be sure the side edges line up with your center squares to make it even.

*Matt your smaller red circles (the one with your saying stamped on them) onto a larger circle using adhesive, then attach these to the center of your large squares. Easy! Now you're ready for the Part 2 video!





Thanks for watching!
Here are some pics of the project, you can click them to see a more detailed image.
