Enjoy This Moment

Hiya crafty peeps!  I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday!  I took a little break from blogging to enjoy my family and friends but it's time to get back in the swing of things...and what better way to start off than with a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl!  Today I'd like to introduce Fighter Gwen with you- I had a tough time deciding how to color her up because there were so many ideas floating in my head- she'd be perfect for a Fight Like a Girl theme or colored up like Rosie the Riveter.  Ultimately I decided to do a slight Fight Like a Girl theme but with a twist.  As some of you know I work in Breast Care Services and so I wanted a little reminder in my office to stop and appreciate each moment because there are people out there who are struggling much more than I am.  So this is a little sign for my office that I can look at and remember why I really do what I do each day :)

Don't forget to stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog for some more inspiration.  And if you haven't seen it yet you absolutely have to check out the new Some Odd Girl shop- it got an awesome face lift and I know you'll love it!  As always, thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!

A Week of Giving Thanks at Some Odd Girl

Make sure you pop on over to the Some Odd Girl blog to get a look at the full project and then stay in touch all week to see what other awesome things we have to share :)  From my house to yours here's hoping everyone in the States has a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Halloween Treats

Hiya crafty peeps!  I don't know about you but I LOVE Halloween and I can't wait to get my hands on all the new Halloween digi's that come out this time of year.  Well, Kristy over at Some Odd Girl does not disappoint- just check out this new Lion Tobie...he's the cutest right?!?  I had to take the opportunity to make a little treat bag for a special someone and had a blast coloring this little dude on Kraft paper.

Now don't forget to hop on by the Some Odd Girl Blog to check out some more awesome inspiration and see the other digital things being released this week (hint- it's not just images!).  And if you already know you want this cutie you can grab him in the shop.

Don't forget about the monthly Linky party- you can find it in the side bar of the SOG blog- and the ongoing Digi Me Contest where you can actually design an image.  I've had a great time checking out those mood boards so keep them coming!

As always, thanks for stopping in to visit me today!

Just a Note

Hiya crafty peeps!  Another fun release day over at Some Odd Girl and this time we're bringing you the new School Supplies clear set!  This set is so much fun to play with- I couldn't resist making a little notecard and notebook set- and if you stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog you can even check out a little video on the how to make the notebook :)  I also hope you stop by the blog to check out some more amazing projects by the DT cause these girls really know how to rock a release.  And then don't forget you can easily pop on into the shop to grab the set for your very own!

I hope you enjoyed this release as much as me and thanks so much for stopping in to visit- you're the best!

A+

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's the beginning of an awesome week over at Some Odd Girl cause we're celebrating a new clear release and today I'm excited to share with you Teacher Mae!  I LOVE this stamp set because it is truly versatile- you can do so many cool things with it- I mean I couldn't even stop at one project, I had to do two, lol :)  I first started off with the cute little tag that I thought would be adorable attached to the stem of an apple as a gift to the teacher- it's kind of a throwback idea which is totally cool in my book.  Then I just had to play around with some of the other stamps so I came up with this gift bag that I stamped the ruler pattern on.  To draw attention to the sentiment that I masked and stamped on one of the rulers I stamped it a second time on white paper, colored it with my Copics, and then popped it up on dimensional dots.  

If you find yourself in love with this stamp set as much as I am then make sure to pop on over to the Some Odd Girl blog for some more amazing projects and then stop on in to the shop to grab it for your very own!  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me- make sure to come back tomorrow for another great release!

Inspiration Happening...

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's my turn to provide some inspiration over on the Some Odd Girl Blog- I sure do hope you'll stop by and check out the cute coasters I'm sharing- they're made out of something you probably have sitting around your house right now :)  Thanks for visiting me!!

Sisters

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's a new Tuesday which means a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl :)  Today we've got Nurse Kaylee- shes perfect in so many ways for me because I actually work at a hospital but I decided to do something a little different than the norm with her this time around.  My sister has been feeling a little (or a lot) under the weather lately so I made a little cough drop care package and figured Nurse Kaylee was the perfect little addition.  I know that we have lots of nurse SOG fans so I hope she becomes a favorite for many :)  If you'd like to grab her for yourself pop on over to the store- and don't forget to check out the blog for many other awesome projects!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Gettin' Odd at the Office

Hiya crafty peeps!  Today I'm up over on the Some Odd Girl blog to share a little inspiration on some different ways to use your SOG images.  I've been feeling a little antsy for spring so I decided to do a little office space makeover and incorporate some crafty stuff :)  For more details on how I put together this fun file folder using Shy Kaylee just pop on by the Some Odd Girl blog.  I hope you enjoy- thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!!

Supplies: File Folder- Office Max; DP & Glitter Word Sticker- Heidi Swap; Wood Embellishment- Freckled Fawn; Tag- Chic Tags

Fairy Dust

Hiya crafty peeps!  Back for another day of the fairy release at Some Odd Girl and this time we're taking a look at Fairy in Flight.  She's absolutely adorable don't you think?  I decided to do something a little different so I took a pail that I'd picked up at Craft Warehouse some time ago and did it all up so it's pretty.  Then I filled it with some colored sand to look like fairy dust and attached Fairy in Flight to the outside.  I thought this could be a cute thing for a little girl to have in her room :)  I hope that you like my little make and this cute new image!  Make sure to stop by the SOG blog for some more amazing inspiration and pop by the store to pick her up for yourself.  As always, thanks for stopping by!

Tag It!

Hiya crafty peeps!  Did everyone have a great holiday?  I sure did- lots of fun, laughter and great food as always which has definitely made it difficult to get back into things.  Thankfully there's a new challenge over at Some Odd Girl for the month of January to help me get back into the swing of things :)  This month we want to see you get creative with tags!  So you can make one or get creative and use them on your cards or layouts.  For my entry I pulled out all the stops and actually created a custom luggage tag!  I can't for the life of me remember where I picked these up but they are black plastic and have little pockets for you to put your masterpiece in- bonus is they will make it even easier to pick out my bags when all the luggage looks the same around the carousel :)  I used the Breakfast Friends clear set to stamp out a coffee cup (because coffee is literally my drug of choice, lol) and got my coloring on.  To keep things simple I just took some matching washi tape to accent the top and then wrote my name in free hand.  

I hope that you enjoy this little make of mine!  Please stop on by the blog for some more inspiration from the rest of the team and then come on and join us with a tag project of your very own- we love seeing what all you amazingly creative people come up with and there's prizes to be won!

 

It's A Hol-Odd-Day Hop with SOG

WELCOME to our Hol-ODD-Day Hop!  ‘Tis the season for the Odd Girls to get their craft on, and whip up some fun things just in time for the holidays!   Some Odd Girl is very happy to bring you our annual…

This year, we are VERY happy to bring you some of our gift and decor ideas that we hope will inspire you as we all head into the home stretch!  Today, we HOP!  All you have to do is visit all of the blogs below and leave some love at each stop.  You should have arrived from Jenn’s blog – if so, you’re definitely on the right track!    If not, CLICK HERE to get to the beginning ‘cuz you won’t want to miss a beat!  There are some random thingies to be won here and there, but I can’t tell you exactly where!  You might also notice that we have a guest crafter or two  joining us this week!

 For my project I decided to make a little hanging sign that could be put up on the wall or door during the winter season.  I picked up this square panel at Craft Warehouse for super cheap on Black Friday and then used Snowball Tia- one of my favorite digi's- so that I could size her to fit perfectly.  Added some paper from Echo Park, a tag from Chic Tags, some wooden snowflake embellishments and some ribbon for the hanger and that's all she wrote!

Totally Awesome Day

Hi all!  Just popping in to give you the heads up on the new challenge that's starting over at Tiddly Inks :)  Can I just say that peeps totally rocked the new digi and clear release hop we had and I hope that carries over into this challenge- I can't wait to see what everyone starts creating!!

So this time we want to see some School Day Fun!  For my project I decorated one of those large wooden clothespins with some new washi tape from Scotch that I got at Office Depot, an adorable image called Stand Out in the Crowd and some enamel dots.  I know how everyone loves taking pic's of their little ones (or not so little ones!) on the first day of school.  This is a perfect way to show off those printed instagram pics and you can easily change them out from year to year.  To demonstrate I used a sweet pic of me and my sister- that seems so long ago!

I hope you enjoy my little project and that you'll join in with us at Tiddly Inks- just remember to use a TI image :)  Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Joy of the Season

Hi all!  Can you believe it's the start of a new week already?  The time just seems to pass by so quickly these days...which makes this new Christmas clear stamp release from Some Odd Girl seem like it's in just the nick of time even if it is only August :)  There are some adorable critters in this new set of images and today I'm sharing with you one of my favorites- Chrismouse!  Is he not just the cutest?  I had a blast coloring him up and I got to do so a few more times as he was part of the make and takes we did at CHA.  I wanted to do something different than the normal card so this is just a little treat box filled with some chocolates- it was pretty simple to make so it's a definite possibility for gifts for my co-workers this year!  I hope that you stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog to see the amazing things the rest of the girls did with him and another awesome image and if you leave a comment there you even get a chance to win one of your very own :)  Thanks for popping in to visit- keep your eyes peeled for more of this fun release coming your way tomorrow!

A Helping Hand

Hi all!  It's been a little quiet here on this little blog of mine- I'm getting ready to go on a little road trip with my sis so I've been trying to get everything in order for while I'm gone.  Between my regular work and card stuff that's no small endeavor- I'm sure you've all been there :)  But it's a new Tiddly Tuesday with a brand new challenge- Image Show Off!  It's a super fun one- just use a Wryn image of you chosing and show her off...easy peasy right?

I had this cute little Wryn- New Wing all colored up because I was going to use her on a get well card that I ended up not needing so I was trying to figure out how to use her.  Now I used to work at a daycare (for a loooong time peeps) and when summer hit that meant lots of field trips and lunches at the park which always meant you had to have your first aid kit along for the ride- because with that many kids you know you're going to need a band-aid at some point- am I right?!?  So I thought why not make a super cute First Aid kit- it would be an awesome little gift for a teacher or daycare provider :)  Not too many embellishments because this would definitely be getting thrown in a backpack or purse but kids love cool little stuff like this so fill it with some cool, fun band-aids and they're sure to love it!  Thanks for popping by this little blog of mine to visit and make sure you check out the challenge blog for some more awesome inspiration!

Sweets

Hi all!  How's it going?  My week has been extremely crazy so I'm soooo happy to see that it's Friday!  I've got something a little different to share today but I hope you like it- it was a ton of fun to put together :)  An embarrassingly long time ago I picked up some awesome treat boxes from Denami Designs.  They've been patiently chillin' just waiting on their little shelf for me to get my act together and make them all pretty.   Well, I'd recently colored up this adorable Wryn image from the Sweets for my Sweet clear stamp set from Tiddly Inks and was kind of thinking to myself that she'd be really cute if I could make some sort of play on the fact that she's holding some sweets.  And what should catch my eye but those little treat boxes- it was time to make one of them shine!  So I grabbed some random pieces of pretty stuff I had laying around my desk and this is the result.  (As a somewhat funny side note I've been working really hard on losing some weight so I actually had to go by some chocolate to put in it- there was none in my house!).  So here's my little treat box, finally getting to make it's grand entrance- I hope you enjoy!  And it's a Fabulous Inky Friday over at Tiddly Inks so don't forget to stop by and take a peek at some of my fellow DT members fab projects :)  Happy Friday!
