Wicked Christmas part 1

Smudgy Antics (the challenge blog for Smeared and Smudged) last challenge of the year is Wicked Christmas...it is a combo of Wicked Santa and Gothic Christmas and it is for 2 weeks.


Here is my first Entry:


"Skelly Christmas"

This is an 8.5" X 11" Bordered poem/lyrics
written by me to the tune of "White Christmas"

Images used:
Digital stamps: Watchful Eye and Smittie Grumpie, both by SMEARED INK, String of Lights by TLC CREATIONS
Images from the internet: Bloody knife, bloody cut off arm and foot. (I enhanced the bloody part with marker)
Digi images colored with BIC Mark Its!.
"Dream bubble" made with the Bic Red Mark It.

I crumpled the card stock over and over again, then used TH's Tea Dye Distress ink by RANGER all over the paper, lighter over the lyrics than the rest. When dry, I used Crackle Accents by RANGER, over "Smittie" and White Enamel Accents also by RANGER, on the Skull's Santa Hats.

Because youe can not read the lyrics here as shown (small) here they are below:

Skelly Christmas
Im dreaming of a Skelly Christmas
Just like if we were all dead
Where the skull tops glisten,
And the alive still listen
For zombies hiding their bed.

Im dreaming of a Skelly Christmas
With every Christmas elf I bite,
“May your days be scary and dark,”
And all your elves be buried in the park.”

Im dreaming of a Skelly Christmas
Just like the ripper named Jack.
Where the knife-tip glistens,
And monsters listen
For people hiding, they can hack.

Im dreaming of a Skelly Christmas
With every fake Santa that I kill,
“May your screams be loud and shrill,
And may you have many coffins to fill”.
~ S. Guzy ©12/2011


will see if this fits anywhere else for a challenge, LOL

2 happy thoughts and hope cards

I have a online friend who was just recently DXed with Colon CA, and another that just got the news she if CA free finally (Breast CA)

so for their Holiday cards I used this FANTASTIC Ribbon Angel image from McMahon 5 designs
they give away a free ribbon image the 25th of every month...it is to help us to remember to DO our monthly self-breast exam. However of course there are many ribbons for many Cancers and Diseases, so these ribbons are quite versatile.

Without further comment, here are my two "Hopeful Holidays" cards

 Both are made on pre-made Holidays cards from Last year by DCWV, I love the greenish aqua ones so much, I used a lot of them last year. The Breat CA one above I added a piece of torn paper I liked. Both images colored with BIC Mark Its!, then the images were cut out, and attached to the card, as well as the computer generated Sentiment. the I used all kinds of Stickles by RANGER.  Hubs liked them, so I am guessing that is a good thing, LOL!

Head space, sick cat and 2 pieces of art

Well, I am dealing with some bad crap right now...I AM  THE QUEEN OF MURPHY'S LAW!  well anyway, I do not want to discuss it right now, cause it really PISSES ME OFF, and I am trying to turn things around. If that EFFING HAPPENS, then I'll talk about it.

I have literally been in the same sweats or nightgown from last Friday night til this morning, and basically didn't do anything but a little web surfing, TV watching and sleeping. I've been in a really dark place plus, super anxious!

I am still quite under the grips of my depression, and still anxious, just not as bad. I think my cat having a bad abscess and me trying to deal with it on my own (hot compresses and trying to drain it) have made me get out of my own head space a little bit.

Today I took her to my vet. I have been going to the same vet since I was 16 and THANK GOODNESS...as he let me come w/o paying...I'll pay on Jan 4th when I take her back for her overall exam and shots. He shaved a large area around the spot, and gave her her rabies vaccine, even though hers is still good for a few months, he said better safe than sorry.  The Doctor gave her a shot (Thank goodness) of antibiotics that will be in her system for 2 weeks (I freaking HATE trying to give cats medicine!!) Then he FREAKED me out, and told me, to be on the look out for any movement under the skin around the "hole" as it may NOT be a tooth hole from her cousin. The doctor says there is this kind of fly that has grown in numbers recently, and stays alive longer than it used to...it will bite an unsuspecting animal and then turn around and drop it's eggs or whatever into the "hole" it made. I said that is a big hole, he said it didn't start out that big, it is because of swelling. it may just be a incisor tooth hole, but it could be this fly. FREAKING AWESOME, just something else to look forward to, fly larvae growing under my cat's skin! ARRRGH gross!!
Ok, let's get off this ride...

over the last 2 days I have made 2 pieces of art, and started 2 others. This first one is a 4 X 4 I made for the challenge over at SMUDGY ANTICS     "Mourning Glory" =  graves... and as usual, some stamps of some kind, and try to use a SMEARED INK stamp.

I used a collage image of mine of 2 old graves, and 2 digi stamps by SMEARED INK, the broken winged heart and the word Broken that goes with it. I used them twice, and used foam dots under one set on top of the other. Coloring with BIC Mark its! and red German Scrap from COLLAGE STUFF.
Here is "Heart Broken"

This next one is my VERY FIRST double Easel card! I made it for the Technique Junkies  fun folds CD Blog Hop! By trying this technique and adding it to Pat's blog (the owner) you give yourself another shot at the grand prize!  part of that prize is a LIFETIME TJ membership!  WOOT!!!
I like it, I hope you do also!
"Elves Christmas"
 All Card stock is by STAMPIN' UP(Vintage Violet, Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue). Image colored with PRISMACOLOR pencils. 
Digi image and sentiment both by TLC CREATIONS.
 Bakery twine in purple from my stash. Plastic snowflakes by FAVORITE FINDINGS. I used Silver Stickles by RANGER on 3 of them, and I used Sugar Coating chunky glitter by DOODLEBUG DESIGNS on 2 of them.
the sentiment says: 
Bringing Joy to Large and Small
Merry Christmas One and All

part I winner for MY 31 days of Halloween & a card

:::Drumroll:::

out of all the comments from Oct. 1 to and including Oct. 15
I had 10 people comment 14 times (so that means if you were Horrifying Hoppers...you all missed 1 day somewhere)
Anyway, after making a spreadsheet in Excel...I got these 10 folks (there were also a handful with 13 and 12)
I wrote the names down, then had hubby rewrite the list in a mixed up order, and then i asked my son to pick a # from 1-10.

In order, List #1: Ike, Donna M, Monique, Jane, LdfDesign, Sharon Sahl, Steph, ScrapVamp, Kristina, and I don't do straight

List #2: Sharon Sahl, Kristina, Donna M, I don't do Straight, Scrapvamp, Ike, Steph, Monique, Jane, LdfDesign

the # my son picked between 1 an 10 was 6 .....which means ....IKE!!!! (Man gal, you are truly the queen of these 31 days!)

The winner for the second half of the month will be announced in a few days. (it is a lot of work, adding up all the comments) So you will be receiving a little Halloween goody from me.

Now for a Thanksgiving card.

This card is for a challenge over at Smeared and Smudged ning group to use the plastic bread clips
I was lazy and scanned it.

 card stock by STAMPIN' UP, printed paper by CLOUD 9, Ribbon from MICHAEL'S. Markers- BIC Mark Its!, Stamps by STAMPIN' UP (set-Thoroughly Thankful).
Misc.- bread clips, and silk leaves on the bread clips that I colored with markers
below is the inside sentiment, this card opens from the bottom up.

DAY 26- 31 Days of Halloween, Countdown to halloween, Real witches of Halloween

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN for the "HALLOWEEN PARTY" (hosted by A Fanciful Twist) post


Welcome to Day 26 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 26 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 26 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

Today's Halloween funny:


Today's creation is and will continue to be a work-in-progress, as it is, once again my Book of Shadows. The last page I showed you was the inside of the front cover. this is the facing page. In many books this is left blank, but not in a journal, not in a diary and certainly not in a BOS. You can click on any image to make it a bit bigger.

The book has 8.5" X 11" pages, so this background paper that is already printed with a pretty pink (almost magenta) border and mostly gray spider webs, some black web, black spider and hanging web line and 2 black candles is 12" X 12". I cut the paper down and fit it around the stamped image.
The stamp is "Beatrix" one of the "Steampunk Halloween" collection from SIMPLY BETTY STAMPS. I paper pieced her skirt, cape, pumpkins, and the cover of her BOS. Then I colored the rest in with PRISMA COLOR pencils, 2 thin tip sharpies (one is flesh tone, and the other very pale pinks...hands and face) and BIC Mark its! for her hair & book pages. I goofed on part of her cape, and accidentally cut if off, so I had to piece it back in.Again the pencil was a perfect match to the paper, but here it appears blue. :( 
Ink on dark purple paper is tough! LOL
 
 The paper used for piecing was from the same Seasons and Holidays pad by CLOUD 9 that I have been using, the candle paper is by DCWV (Midnight Spells Pad)
 Once again, I had real issues with the purples...Her blouse is a lovely light lilac that goes so well with the deep purple of the skirt and cape, and I colored the upper part of the cape in and out of her hair with a perfectly matched pencil, but here it looks blue. UGH!!! I tried editing them to make them more "purple" and all that did was turn the bkgd. reddish. I gave up.
Once I was done piecing and coloring "Beatrix" I started putting the paper back together as best I could without making it look really bad. I wanted both candles in and as much of the border as possible. I then took a fine line black sharpie and connected lines from the mis-matched webs that were already on the paper. Then I started "doodling" things into the web have have something to do with Witchcraft, or Wicca or Paganism. I do not consider myself, Wiccan, more of a Neo-Pagan.
Anyway, then I used a silver sharpie to highlight spots around Beatrix's dark colors, and the candles. The spider seemed to get lost in the mix, so I did his hanging web and outlined his body
I plan on listing the other "Sabbats" and "Esbats" (Lunar cycled Holidays and equinoxes)somewhere in the web, as well as other appropriate items that should be noted in a BOS. 
I am thinking I might add yellow-into-orange stickles on the candle flames, what do you think?

Today's Halloween funny:


Today's creation is a card, a large square card to be precise.

 Card stock by STAMPIN' UP, Background papers both by MY MIND'S EYE, the haunted house is enamel embossed and glittery, the picture below gives a good look.  The little witch is a digi image from RICK ST.

Welcome to Day 23 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN, as well as day 23 of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, and Day 23 of THE REAL WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN.

Today's Halloween funny:


just a quick ATC for today, I have lots to do, and not a lot of time.

 Chipboard, cover with plain MOD PODGE, then a fancy napkin piece placed down, then the witchy-witch digi by SUNSHINE n GIGGLES, colored with BIC Mark Its!, Covered with 2 coats of Glitter Mod Podge (that's why the second image), I then made a hole and eyelet using my CROP-O-DILE, and added Metallic fibers I got in MICHAEL's, and some green German Scrap I got at COLLAGE STUFF. I finished it off with Silver and White DEW DROPS.
