You have reached the blog of Lady Brayton.
I know most of you out there know me, but today is a special day and I will be receiving several visitors on a long journey and I don't want anyone getting lost along the way.
If you are participating in the Skull Appreciation Day blog hop, you should have arrived here from Helen's awesome blog. If not, you can click here to start at the beginning of the hop. You are not required to hop in order, but it makes it much easier to get lost if you don't. I will post the entire hop list at the bottom of this post.
I am posting early, but please note that the official hop time is June 4th at 9:00am Pacific time. If you hop early, there may be some blogs that haven't posted yet. Make sure you leave a comment at every blog to have a chance at winning a prize or two.

Today's post does double duty. It is Monday and that means it is time for the new challenge over at the Smudgy Antics Blog. The theme this week is anything goes so I encourage everyone doing this hop to submit your project to the challenge (a rubber or digi stamp must be used to enter). Since anything goes, I combined my Smudgy Antics project with my Skull Appreciation Day project.
What is Skull Appreciation Day? It's the international day for cranial love. We are celebrating the cranium. You can read about the origin of Skull Appreciation Day here.
Here is my tribute:
Images: Smeared Ink: "Bride" calaveras from the "Calaveras" digi set and the wings are from the "Quoth the Raven" set. The rubber set of QTR is retired, but the digital version is available in the store now.
Papers: 7 Gypsies
Ribbon: Creative Imaginations
Other: Modpodge, acrylic paint, zing embossing powder, silicone glue, UTEE, and some handmade flowers from a friend.
Your next stop on the hop is the amazingly talented Fiona.
