Yay new Smudgy Antics Inspiration

Hey all how's everyone's month going so far? May I just say that all of the entries I have been seeing have been great the past couple of months. Keep your wonderful projects coming.
So now down to business. Today I have a man inspired scrapbook page. My 15 year old really likes making his art and he loves to craft with me so I figured I would make a page to display this. I have used a digital stamp from the inner workings set. His pictures will be put in the ruler frame and below on the burlap ribbon.
Hope you all enjoy. See you next week!

The Ossuray...

I am totally in to scrapbooking atm so I have made a layout with a photo from the Ossuary Chapel in the Czhec Republic. I went there for vacation a few years back and it was beyond awesome...
A chapel filled with decorations and arrangements made out of real skeletons from about 40-70 tousand people... and one of the photos I took was this one...a chandelier...totally amazing and so beautiful.

I have stamped the cardstock with rubber stamps from the As Death set and Urban decay.
The colored bats is from the digital stamp set A little Bit Batty. The big skeleton is one from the digital set Danse Macabre.

There is a new anything goes smeared ink challenge up for April so be sure to link up your awesome projects ;)

Thank you!

NOTEBOOK OBSESSION

YAY...It's the weekend....

don't they come round quickly?

I have a bit of a notebook obsession...

I make lists of lists....

so i need a copious supply of little notepads.

I found packs of them a while ago in one of our pound stores so

i'm working my way through putting decorative covers on them.

I used one of my all time favourite rubber stamps from

'AS DEATH'....

masked it and added a background and the word OBSESSION from

HEART WINGS rubber set.

Then I used ink and pencils to colour my front cover.

You only have a few days left to enter this months challenge....

why not make a project this weekend?

Thanks for visiting...see you again soon.

Bunny Blue and Kitty Too!

Howzit Everyone!

For today's DT inspiration I'm sharing two projects!

First up here's an Easter Bunny altered domino magnet featuring Smeared Ink's Li'l Bunny Grumpie from the Occasions Li'l Grumpie rubber stamp set. I just love this li'l Bunny to death!

Looks like Bunny Blue found himself a friend!

Any guesses on what I used to colour the domino? Dying to find out?
Then stop by my DominoART blog tomorrow for an egg-citing reveal ;0)

"How PURRfectly wonderflandful to see you" she purred mischievously!

I also want to share the wind-chime I made for our March Smeared and Smudged Member "Alice in Wonderland - MADNESS" Blog Hop! As a huge Alice fan I had a blast creating this Cheshire Kitty diorama featuring Smeared Ink's Cheshire Cat and the mushroom from the Alice digi.

Pop on over to my other blog, LeighSBDesigns, for all the info, photos and a little video clip!

I hope I've inspired you to get creative and there's still time to enter our current
Smudgy Antics Challenge so come join the fun!

Happy Stamping!
Leigh S-B
