*To participate, you must make a NEW project that features at least 1 STAMPED or DIGI IMAGE... FROM SMEARED INK ,add it to the post using the Inlinkz linky. Any other supplies and images may be used. Your link MUST take us directly to your project on a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE blog or website, or it will be disqualified - so please make sure you're linking to your actual post. It must be linked by midnight Pacific Time on the scheduled end date, which will be three days before the end of the month. You must use a new project; back-linking is NOT allowed.

*Your project can be anything (card, scrapbook page, mixed media, altered or 3-D item, etc) as long as it is handmade and stamped somewhere with at least 1 rubber or digital stamp....from SMEARED INK . We have taken into consideration our digital artist fans and will be allowing all-digi projects. Please note that while collage sheet images can be used in your project, the collage image does NOT count as a stamped image.

We are all about looking at things differently and look forward to the variety of projects and mediums we are sure to see.

*You can only enter the challenge and qualify for a prize if you are, or become, a follower of the Smudgy Antics blog. Also, you must mention Smudgy Antics in your blog post and provide a link to our blog. This helps others to find us so they may play along as well.

Each project must be linked individually into the Inlinkz linky tool and must link to it's own individual blog post in order to be considered as separate entries.
