Just Keep Swimming

Hiya crafty peeps!  Whew, it's another Monday...but the good news is that means there's a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl.  I'm here to share a sneak peek at Angel Fish!  I had some fun putting together this clean and simple card by using the digi stamp twice, flipping the image on one, so that it looks like there's a couple of fishy buddies :)  I decided to make this a little encouragement card by making the sentiment my favorite line from Finding Nemo that I always say to myself when the going gets tough "Just Keep Swimming".

Now make sure you pop on over to the Some Odd Girl blog to see some more inspiration and to get a peek at what the other release image is and enjoy the amazing makes that the other gals on the design team put together.  Thanks for stopping in to visit me!

XOXO

Hiya crafty peeps!  Just popping in to share that there's a new digi release happening over at Some Odd Girl today- and if you love those SOG critters this is one you're not going to want to miss!  I've got a little sneak peek of mister Puggles here- isn't he the cutest?!?  I can think of soooo many people in my life that he would be perfect for!

I decided to try something a little different with him as far as coloring and I'm not quite sure what I think of it...I printed him on some kraft paper and then used chalk colored pencils and q-tips for blending.  What do you think?  I'm thinking I'll stick to my Copics, lol :)

Now there are 3 images released today so make sure you hop on over to the Some Odd Girl blog to check out the rest of the amazing inspiration.  And you can pick these cuties up for yourself in the SOG shop!  Make sure to also check out the ongoing Oddtober Fest that's taking place in the Some Odd Girl Facebook group as we're having quite the shindig this month.  As always, thanks for popping in to visit me!

Epic

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's time for a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl and this week we've got the amazing Amazon Mae!  Isn't she awesome?  She was a blast to color and I can just see her being perfect for so many occasions.  The instant I saw her I knew exactly what papers I wanted to pair her with- the Bo Bunny Zoology collection from a few years ago- they just seemed to be the perfect fit- and then I went for the out-of-the-box circle card and an over sized word sticker that just seemed to fit perfectly.  

I hope that you love Amazon Mae as much as I do!  Make sure to check out some more amazing inspiration over on the Some Odd Girl blog- and if you already know you're ready to grab her up for yourself you can find her in the SOG shop :)  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!

You & Me

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's another new week which means another awesome new digi release is happening over at Some Odd Girl!  Today I'm going to share Girlfriends Kaylee and Mae and it's the perfect stamp to make cards for those girlfriends you love.  Whether it's a birthday, thinking of you, or even invitations to something fun like a special girls night out this image is sure to be one that you print off often :)  I've seen some cool cards lately where people have stamped onto patterned paper so I wanted to give that technique a try.  I tried to keep the paper a light color so you could easily still see the stamp and I think it turned out okay- what do you think?  It still trips me out a bit when I have a stamp and don't color it, lol!

Don't forget to make a stop over at the Some Odd Girl blog to see some more inspiration from this weeks release and then pop on into the new shop to grab her up for your very own!  As always, thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!

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!

Sunshine and Flowers

Hiya crafty peeps!  Thanks for popping in to visit me today- it's Tuesday so that means we're celebrating a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl!  Meet Flower Kaylee- I mean, isn't she just gorgeous!  I had an absolute blast coloring her up with my Copics and she's perfect for any type of card.  I paired her up with some of Some Odd Girls Sunshine Sorbet papers because I just felt like the colors suited her perfectly- especially that pink woodgrain...yummy!

Make sure you stop on over on the Some Odd Girl blog for some more amazing inspiration and pop on into the shop to grab her up for your very own.  Don't forget to join us over in the Some Odd Girl Facebook community either and share your projects- we love to see what you create!

Warm Birthday Wishes

Hiya crafty peeps!  Happy Tuesday to you all- hope it's a good one :)  It's going to start out on a high note here with a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl- meet Coffee Piper!  Now some of you know I have a slight (or maybe not so slight) coffee addiction and I don't quite wake up in the morning until I get that first cup.  So this little cutie is right at home in my workspace and I had a blast coloring her up- in fact with brown hair like this we could be twins :)  She's perfect for all those winter or holiday cards that I know you've probably already started making but I decided to use her for a birthday card this time around.  

Now make sure that you hop on over to the Some Odd Girl blog to see some more amazing inspiration and pop on into the shop if you know you already want her (I know you do!).  Don't forget to link up with us over on the blog in our linky party in the sidebar as well to share those gorgeous creations and for a chance to be in the Friday Spotlight!

Lil Bandit

Hiya crafty peeps!  Another Tuesday means another digi release over at Some Odd Girl and I'm sticking with my Halloween goodies to show off Bandit Wizard!  Isn't he the cutest?  I struggled with this one because he would also be perfect for a birthday card if you used a sentiment about it being magical- but my love of Halloween won out so that's what I ended up going with.  But I can already see he's going to get a lot of use in my craft room :)

Now make sure you pop on by the Some Odd Girl Blog to see the other amazing inspiration and goodies going up today.  And if you want some SOG goodness for yourself just hop on over to the shop.  Don't forget there's still some time left to join in the Digi Me Contest- I've been loving all the entries so far!

A Butterfly Birthday

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's another Tuesday which means a new digi release over at Some Odd Girl!  (I just love Tuesdays, don't you?)  This week I'm bringing you Petal Fairy- and I must confess she is a new favorite, I mean do you see those wings?!?  I really wanted her to shine, and wanted to push myself to do something outside the box, so not only did I keep things clean and simple but I tried for a one layer card.  Kinda different- kept feeling like I wanted to throw some more stuff on it, ya know?

Birds of Love

Hiya crafty peeps!  Have I got a cute one for you today (at least I think so, lol).  There's a fab new digi release happening over at Some Odd Girl today and it's all about the birds this week :)  I had a wedding to go to a couple weeks ago and when I saw this new image Birds of Love I just couldn't stop thinking how cute this image would be for a wedding card!  So I stuck to my go to, classic, wedding color combo of red, black and white which I think worked out perfectly.  Now make sure you pop on over to the Some Odd Girl Blog to check out the other cute digi's getting released...and if you want to snag some of them for your very own you can find them in the SOG shop :)  As always, thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!

Puppy Love

Hiya crafty peeps!  It's a new week which means a new set of digi's are being release over at Some Odd Girl.  And for all you dog lovers out there this is perfect!  I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I was not at all a critter stamp person when I started with stamping and card making- it was character stamps all the way for this girl.  But after starting with Some Odd Girl I just couldn't help but get drawn in by Kristy's adorable little critters and got totally hooked- now I just love them to bits!  So when I saw this adorable little guy called Puppy Love I was done.  Plus he's the perfect all around stamp for almost any kind of card you could need to make- bonus!  I hope you enjoy him as much as I do- make sure to pop on over to the Some Odd Girl Blog to see some more amazing inspiration...and then if you're 'done' like I was go on over to the store and pick him up for yourself (yep enabler status activated, lol!).  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!
