IKE'sWORLD Challenges ~ Valentines and Day 1 of the Bloody Valentine Hop Hosted by Smeared and Smudged Forum

I have two events in the one post to share with you today, first off  welcome to week two of IKE'sWORLD Challenge ~ Valentines.

Now, I'm not good at this mushy mushy stuff ... Gothic? blood n' guts? yeah, I can have a stab at that, but this lovey dovey stuff?..... I just draw a blank!..... So I decided to go for humorous .... I hope :)


I love this image, it is called OOH LA LA and is available at IkesArt. The sentiment I saw on a mug somewhere and it made me laugh so I decided to use it.  The backing papers and embellishments are all from my stash.


Next we have Day 1 of the Bloody Valentine Hop Hosted by Smeared and Smudged Forum


If you have arrived from the amazing Maureen's blog, then you are on the right track, if not and you want to start from the beginning, you can find the blog roll on my side bar,

Here is my project for Day 1 of the Hop


The image is Troll and is available from IkesArt. The background is from the net with the text added digitally

Maybe I can find some mushy mojo for tomorrow, but until then, off you hop to Leigh's blog, I'm sure she will have something FABulous to show you.
