ALTERED "RAT" TRAP by Jean
Welcome to Smeared and Smudged Member Blog Hop!
I have something delightful for you, that I altered.
Meet the Newly Weds, Mr. and Mrs. Kline: I altered a "RAT" trap and a little
"mouse" Trap to show you just how the bride gets the traps her men once she
needs a "new heart". What a way to go!
Notice on the small trap I stamped a hand on it; This is a requirement and added to
the challenge. Now you can tell all your friends how to "ALTER a RAT TRAP!" and you saw it first
at the S&S Member Hop.
P.S. Look at the bride she is pretty roughed up; Guess her last hubby put up a fight. He was rather
large.

Twisted Creepmas
Smeared and Smudged Member Blog Hop
It's that time again! Time for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop. Our hop will be on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15th, so that gives you until November 13th to sign up. The blog roll will then be posted on the 14th for everyone to add to their post.
The theme is ALTER SOMETHING! No cards allowed...you have to alter an object. Use your imaginations, it can be a can, box, coaster, book, creepmas ornament, etc. Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine) – we love when you use Smeared Ink stamps, but it is NOT a requirement to participate.
If you want to participate, and we really hope that you do, leave a comment here with your blog address by NOVEMBER 13th!!! Then make your project and post it to your blog, along with the blog roll, by 9am (PST) on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15th. If you can't participate this time around, no worries, we hope you will hop along with us to see the wonderful projects.

What is Creepmas
What Is CREEPMAS?
CREEPMAS is a good-natured push back at
Retail America for trying to force Christmas down our
throats as early as July.
Something has gone seriously wrong with how holidays are marketed to us
in the
last 5 years. When you go to a major retail store in mid-October only to find
they've gotten rid
of all their Halloween merchandise in favor of snowmen &
Santas, well, it's time to take action!
Something as utterly ridiculous as Christmas trees in August deserves an equally ridiculous response!
CREEPMAS is for those Halloween lovers and Monster Kids who want to say "enough is enough" -

CREEPMAS is for those Halloween lovers and Monster Kids who want to say "enough is enough" -
if they're going to put their Christmas into
our Halloween, then let's put our Halloween into their

showed us that it can be done with marvelous results, and we're definitely
following his lead.

The 13 Days of Creepmas is an online Celebration of Spookiness from December 1 - 13. The idea is
to bring a macabre twist to
Christmas and the holidays. Get creative and post it on your blog - share

**Now bear in mind - this is for FUN. We're not out to ruin other peoples' holidays and
sabotage/vandalism are NOT
what we're promoting. Leave the neighbors' nativity scene alone. The
13 Days of
Creepmas is about how you decorate yourself, your home and/or your life to let
the world
know that you are a CREEP! Wear it loud, wear it proud!
And Thanksgiving? Sorry, you turkey - you're on your own.
