If you have visited the Smudgy Antics blog, you already know that the Smudgy Antics blog has been discontinued. As of December 1st 2013, and the Smudgy Antics Challenge has been moved to the Smeared and Smudged Forum and can now be found in the Challenger Group.

Come on by and check us out at Smeared and Smudged.  Membership is FREE.  Come by to network and socialise with other stampers. Learn cool techniques in the newly revised Mixed Media University, find out how to craft on the cheap side in the Cheapskate Crafter group and express your feelings through art in the Art Journal Everyday group.  There are many other challenges offered, with prizes, as well as monthly member blog hops, monthly ATC swaps, a Birthday Club and so much more! 

This week I decided to use the recently newly released Toxic Ballerina's, but I couldn't decide which one of the digi stamps to use, so I decided to make a selection of toppers

There are 8 digi stamps in the set, which can be bought as singles or as a set from Smeared Ink
I would like to enter my toppers into the following challenges
Catered Crop - Small Size Matters
Dream Valley Challenges - Anything But a Card
