Tuesday with Kelli/Mary Jewel!!!

Hello everyone, welcome to Tuesdays with Kelli as we take a little side tour with Mary jewel my daughter.  I was crazy busy this past few weeks getting back from one vacation and preparing for another.  Finishing project that I knew were due while I was away, a huge pile by the way.  So here I am in the middle of preparing hands for a fat book swap, making ATCs for another swap, 30 of them, and getting cards ready for various other reasons and I remember IT’S MY TUESDAY!!!!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, so my wonderful, lovely, talented daughter says, that’s ok mom I can help you!!!  And help me she did, She made this weeks card for you using the Killer Bo Peep set from Smeared Ink.  She did a wonderful job if I do say so myself as the proud mommy!!!

Now she told me she didn’t want it to say anything because she couldn’t think of anything for it to say right now so that’s why it doesn’t say anything!!!  I love the grey and black roses that the sheep is standing in!  I also love the way she colored peep with her acid yellow hair!!!  The background paper I can’t remember where that came from but the cardstock is SU.  Please leave her some love!!!

Forever Friends

Hello everyone, sorry I am late today.  I had a wonderfully long weekend vacation and am running a little behind.. Today I am showing a “scrapbook” I am working on.  As most of you know I spent my long weekend vacation in NY visiting Alison and her family and while there we went to the Long Island Children’s Museum. It was so fun!  Anyway, I knew I wanted to scrap the pictures that were taken and also start scrapping the 17 gagillion boxes of pictures I have so why not start now!!!  Anyway, I knew this had to be something that wasn’t just an 8x8 page or a 12x12 page and I had these lying around so this is what I am doing….
I am taking this…
 
and turning it into a scrapbook.  As of now I just have one section started and it isn’t done, but I wanted to show you to give you an Idea of what I was doing.  I am thinking of doing both sides and hanging it from the ceiling in my craft room, what do you think?  Then again if I do one side I can hang it on the wall…. decisions decisions…. Ok so for the first one, Alison and I took a picture together that reminded me of the fun house mirrors at a carnival so that is what I went with.  Right now all I have on the section is the paper and the words which came from the Carnies set over at Smeared Ink.  The picture is added digitally but I will have them printed out soon!!! 
What do you think?  Good idea? Bad idea? Throw it out? Keep it?  I need opinions as I am just getting into the scrapping thing!!!

Graduation Card

Hello everyone, welcome to Tuesday with Kelli.  Today I have to share with you a card I made using the card sketch, from the sketch challenge on Smeared and Smudged.  I used Artie, a graduating Grumpy for my card, he is this months freebie for participating on the forum!  Now you may be thinking,Kelli that doesn't say anything about graduation.  Well you would be right, I made this card for a friend of my daughter who loves Alice in Wonderland almost as much as I do, therefore the sentiment! 

Hope you enjoy!

Hello My Pet

Hello everyone and welcome to Tuesday on Smudgy Antics, I, Kelli, will be your host today.  So buckle up, grab a cup, and enjoy the ride!!!!

Today I have for you a bookmark/tag I made using Smeared Ink digi set Fedom.  I didn't do much to the image itself except add a little chalk here and there(thanks Alison for turning me on to that!).  The tag on the other hand I distressed the hell out of and then added a really cool background (from Itkupilli) I have had for a while!  My image i popped up for some depth.  No it's not quite finished as I haven't added ribbon and bling yet.  I know what I want to use and I know I have it, it's just a matter of digging it out and as I was a sick one this past few days that didn't happen!!! 

Hope you enjoyed it!!!

Forever...

Hello Lovelies,   I have for you today a card I made using a couple of my favorite things....vampires and ummmmm vampires....LOL  I used an image from the Glam Vamps set from SI.  These are digi images that I printed out then colored with my copics.  I then used this cool digi scrapbook set I found featuring another of my favorite things, the Twilight series!  I think it turned out wicked cool! It also follows the Smeared and Smudged Sketch challenge card sketch for April!!!

HAPPY MARDI GRAS

Welcome to Fat Tuesday everyone!!!  I am so stoked that today is my day to post on Smudgy Antics.  I totally miss being in Louisiana during this time of year!  I am a Louisianaian born and bred and though the military life has taken me away and retired life will keep me away it is still home in the heart!!  Especially around festival times!!!  Not only Mardi Gras, cause peeps let me tell ya, us cajuns we can throw a party for anything and everything!!!! AHHHH  memories.... but I digress, on to the project!

Today I have for you the Mardi Gras Queen!   I know she is actually the High Priestess from the Morbidly Adorable Tarot 1 Set, but today she is the Mardi Gras Queen!!!  With her bed of beads she is standing on, I don't know if she will throw them or not, but you can always flash her some skin in the hopes that she will!!  She also has beads floating around her, how she does that and still finds the time to interact while on the float I will never know!!! 

List of Ingredients:
Morbidly Adorable Tarot set
SU cardstock
Mardi Gras Beads
Copic Markers
Distress Stickles

Your Stuck with Me

Hello Lovelies,

I must admit first thing that this is not a new project for me.  This is the very first card I made with the Carnies set from Smeared Ink!  I also must admit that this Tuesday somehow snuck up on me.  I know it comes the same time every week, so I don't know how it snuck up on me!!!  Maybe it had something to do with the kids being ot of school and the hubby being off of work sinceThursday and my days are all messed up.... anyway I apologize fot not having a new project to show you!  I m working on something, but can't promise that it will be up today!

Anyway here it is!  Hope you enjoy!

New Toys.....

Ok so I got my new, well new to me, Misty Benson sets from Smeared Ink a few days ago and couldn't wait to play!  Problem was I didn't know what to do.  I only have the one set of Copics,which I am rectifying one payday at a time, but none of the colors I have screamed use me loud enough that I wanted to pay attention to them so..... I dug through the drawers and pulled out my prisma color pencils, none of them were screaming loud enough either, but then I heard it.  On one side of the craft room there was a faint, hello did you forget about us, and then on the other side I heard it also.  So I went looking and guess what I found, watercolor crayons and pencils.... Yep I used them.  Now your probably thinking, watercolor really, there so dull!  Well you have never seen me watercolor.....LOL  no really, I have some very very very bright colors.  Anyway I couldn't pass up this image to share today as she is protecting her teddy from whomever may try to take it!  I love it!  Hope you enjoy!

please excuse the photo, when I went to take pictures, the camera has dissappeared and when I did find it, in my daughters room, it was dead so this is from my phone....I will get better ones when the camera charges!!!

Carnie Poster

Hello all, It's tuesday and I'm Kelli and that means that it is my day to post!  Today I am sharing with you a "poster" I made!  It's really  6x6 that I made using a technique I just learned that I haven't made into anything yet!  It will eventually be either part of an altered canvas or a poster I have in mind for Smeared Ink images!!! Maybe by next week I will know what I want to do and then we can go on a creepy little jaunt to the end of a project...Anyway, this technique will eventually make it into a tutorial and be posted on the forum, but for now it is what it is!!!

I really hope you enjoy the project and be sure to check out all the goings on over on the forum.  Reember there are some wonderful prizes to be won over there!

Smeared Ink Tuesday with Kelli

Hello all,
Today I am offering you a creation inspired by Jane - who is our fabulous Guest Designer for February.  Her challenge is to make or alter a box or bag to hold a valentine gift or card.  This box will be for my lovely daughter because this is one of her favorite sets, and the boys would just look at it and say, naked lady!!!LOL

I used the Nymphs set from Smeared Ink which is very lovely and some papers the DT received from our very own Lisa.  It's a simple box really, but the images are wonerful, and I love using the pattern paper as a wall paper sort of technique.  

For my box I used:
Nymphs- Smeared Ink
paper pack from Lisa
acrylic paint
stazon Jet black
peeled paint distress ink
