Weekly Challenge: Ghoul's Night Out

The Challenge Theme for Smudgy Antics is

"GHOUL'S NIGHT OUT".

What do you think Ghouls do for fun?  Do they go to wild parties?  Do they sulk in a corner of the cemetery?  Do they busy themselves primping to look beautiful before they go out and hunt? 
 We want you to show us your idea of a Ghoul's Night Out!

Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab!

THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN THE RULES.

There will be no more top 3 or random winner.

Our Design Team will vote for ONE winner and that person will receive both a blog button and prize. You do not have to use a Smeared Ink image to win.  We pick the best of the entries so bring your A-game!  Also, please remember there is no back-linking allowed and you must be a follower of Smudgy Antics to qualify for a prize.

*If you are a Blogger for the 31 Days, you may combine one of your daily projects with this Smudgy Antics Challenge.  Just be sure to read and follow the challenge rules posted on the left side bar and be sure to follow the 31 Days' rules as well.

*For those not playing along with the 31 Days of Halloween, it is business as usual here.  Be sure to read and follow the challenge rules posted on the left sidebar to qualify for both the prize and the coveted blog button.
 Be creative and think outside of the box.

  *Projects are not limited to cards.  We also accept and encourage mixed-media pieces, sculptures, art journal pages, etc.  Just be sure to use a stamped image somewhere in your project ("real" or "digi") and follow the challenge rules and you are golden :)

Weekly Challenge: Movie Madness

The Challenge Theme for Smudgy Antics this week is

"Movie Madness".

Art is inspired by many things.  We want to see what kind of inspiration you can get from a movie.  Being October, I would suggest a scary or creepy movie of some sort.  If you insist upon making a Tinkerbell project, which will surely result in projectile vomiting on my part, then feel free to do so.  
*We do ask that you state the name of your movie of choice in case it is not evident to others looking at your project.

***If you are a Blogger for the 31 Days, you may combine one of your daily projects with this Smudgy Antics Challenge.  Just be sure to read and follow the challenge rules posted on the left side bar and be sure to follow the 31 Days' rules as well.

**For those not playing along with the 31 Days of Halloween, it is business as usual here.  Be sure to read and follow the challenge rules posted on the left sidebar to qualify for the random prize drawing and the coveted "Top Three" badge.  Be creative and think outside of the box.

  *Projects are not limited to cards.  We also accept and encourage mixed-media pieces, sculptures, art journal pages, etc.  Just be sure to use a stamped image somewhere in your project ("real" or "digi") and follow the challenge rules and you are golden :)
