Smart is Sexy

Hiya crafty peeps!  Welcome back to day two of the fabulous new clear release happening over at Some Odd Girl this week.  Today we're introducing Geeky Gwen who is a total win in my book!  What girl doesn't have her smart phone in hand these days?  And with some more killer sentiments like Smart is Sexy (oh yes it is!) and Geek Chic there are a million things you can do with this set.  Now there's a hashtag accent stamp in this set and it reminded me that I'd gotten this big wooden hashtag embellishments in one of my Swag Bags from Paper Issue's and I thought this would be the perfect time to pull it out and us it.  What a fun card base it gives, no?  

Now make sure you stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog and check out all the rest of the awesome that's on display over there by my teamie's- there's tons of great eye candy!  And after that you can pop on into the shop and pic up Geeky Gwen for your very own.  I have a feeling her and Nerdy Kody are going to be quite the hit this month!

And, as always, thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!

Talk Nerdy To Me

Hiya crafty peeps!  Guess what?  It's time for a new clear release over at Some Odd Girl and I am so excited to share it with you!  You could say it's the Age of the Geek right now and Kristy drew up the perfect images to fit right in- plus sentiments that totally rock my socks off too :)  Today we're showing off Nerdy Kody...if you like your guys complete with glasses and laptop then you are in total luck.  Plus the sentiments in this set are beyond fun- like the one I used here, Talk Nerdy To Me.  I decided to try something a little different for those non-colorers out there and tried stamping with a colored ink onto kraft cardstock.  I think it gives a totally cool effect and I'm sure I'll try this again...

Anyway, make sure you stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog to check out some more amazing inspiration from the team and then pop on into the shop to pick up this nerdy little gem all for yourself!  And make sure to stop by tomorrow to see the little nerds partner in crime- Geeky Gwen- in action!

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Merci

Hiya crafty peeps!  Thanks for checking back in for the next new clear set from the Some Odd Girl release- Frenchie Gwen!  She is tre' cute no?  Keeping with the stamps only theme for this card I used the sentiment stamp, masked it, and then used the Eiffel Tower stamp to emboss a background and viola!  I have to say I really like the versatility of using my stamps like this and should challenge myself to step outside the box a little more often :)

Now make sure you stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog to see some more amazing inspiration and then pop on in the shop to grab this cutie, and Frenchie Kody, up all for yourself!  And don't forget to share what you make with us in the Linky party found in the sidebar of the blog- you've got all month and we love seeing your creativity!

Thanks for stopping by!

Bonjour!

Hiya crafty peeps!  Welcome to the new clear release over at Some Odd Girl- if you like international treats then wait till you see what's in store!  First up we have Frenchie Kody- quite the looker no?  I decided to try something new this time around and only use the stamps in the set to make my card (ignore the ribbon- I couldn't help myself!) :)  So I used one of the many sentiment stamps from the set- any of them would work perfect for this- stamped it in a grid pattern then heat embossed with some black embossing powder.  This is such a fun and easy trick and lets you get the most out of all the stamps in your set!  

I hope that you enjoy my little make and don't forget to stop on by the Some Odd Girl blog for tons more inspiration as well as the shop to grab him up for your very own!  Thanks for stopping by- make sure to check back tomorrow for some more frenchie fun!

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!

Candle Stamping at Some Odd Girl

Season's Greetings

Hi all!  Another week closer to Christmas and I've been a busy little card maker- how about you?  I love the Some Odd Girl portrait images because they are so universal, you can use them for pretty much anything- including Christmas cards!  So that's just what I've done here with Demure- so pretty in classic colors of red and green.  Not a color combo I use that much, even during the holidays, but it works perfectly here!

Now make sure that you hop on over to the Some Odd Girl shop to check out the digi bundles on sale this week- Demure can be found in one of them!  And for more inspiration don't miss a stop at the Some Odd Girl blog too.  Plus there's still time to share all those awesome SOG projects you've been working on with us in the December Linky party in the sidebar of the blog :)

As always, thanks so much for stopping by to visit me- I hope you've enjoyed my little make!

All I Want for Christmas

Hiya crafty peeps!  There's some wonderful things going on over at Some Odd Girl this week- like the fabulous Hol-Odd-Day hop- as well as some special digi bundles!  Here I'm showcasing a little Christmas card I made using the digi stamp Holiday Pup that you'll find in one of the bundles this week.  It also has on it a sentiment from the Gingerbread Kaylee clear set...I love mixing and matching my different sets together :)

Now make sure you hop on over to the blog to see all that's on showcase there and also pop on into the shop to check out the special digi bundles.  And once you've made a little holiday make of your own with a Some Odd Girl image then make sure you link up in the Hol-Odd-Day hop and show off your skills!  Thanks for stopping in to visit me!
