Monday SOG Indian Tia

Happy Monday!
Did you have a nice weekend?  We did!  If you follow me on facebook (Siehled with a Kiss)  then you know that last week I was a crazy crafter.  I was working on several deadlines and I was going crazy.  My room was a total mess.  On Wednesday I totally scrubbed my room down and put all my supplies away.  I was going to take just a day or two off but two days turned into five.  Sometimes I do that.  I just need a couple of days off to get back into it.  I feel pretty good now and I am ready to get back to crafting! 

Today over at Some Odd Girl the feature stamp is Indian Tia.  She is just a cutie and here is my card.

I used my Imaginisce Forever Fall collection and colored Tia to match.

paper & bling-imaginisce

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back all this week with new projects! See you tomorrow.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Happy Friday!

OK, I am showing my age here but I have Loverboy's mega 80's hit- "Everybody's working for the Weekend" running in my head right now!  I am soooo happy!  I can't wait till that bell rings at 2:40 and I pick up the kids and get home!  It has just been one of those weeks!

Today I have a layout to share from Moxxie.  The collection is from last year and it is one of my faves.  It is Child's Play. 

Last summer Michael learned to ride his "new" 2 wheeler bike with training wheels.  He thought he was just so cool!  I captured these photos of him while he was riding up and down our sidewalk.  He was allowed to go to the stop sign and back all by himself.  He loved it. 

For my layout I started with misting the white cardstock with some coordinating paint.  I then broke out my Silhouette and created the heart background and the title. I loved layering all the bright and cheery papers.

supplies
mist- studio calico
paper- moxxie

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back on Monday with another full week of projects!  Have a wonderful and crafty weekend!

Thursday Imaginisce Fall Home Decor

Happy Thursday!

If  you are looking for the SOME ODD GIRL AND PERFECT LAYERS hop please click HERE!

The Imaginisce DT was given a challenge to create something for Thanksgiving that was NOT a card or layout.  I was stumped at first and then went into my scrap closet and saw this Printer's Trey that I bought a couple of years ago and thought that this would make a cool home décor item on my mantel. 

So I broke out the awesome Forever Fall collection and got busy!  I am so thankful for my 2 wonderful and amazing boys and I put their photos in first.  I then went to town filling each box with paper and embellishments.  It was so much fun. 

 Here is a detail shot.

 

Supplies

Printer's Trey- Hobby Lobby

paper and embellishments- Imaginisce

cardstock- Core'dinations

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a new project from Moxxie.  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Wednesday Some Odd Girl November Challenge

Happy Wednesday,

If you are looking for the Some Odd Girl and Perfect Layers Blog Hop please click HERE!

Some Odd Girl's November challenge is a totally fun one!  (well, I think they all are fun but this one is REALLY fun!)!  The challenge is to create a project using Speech Bubbles.  I loved this challenge because last month Kristy had a new digi cut file that had several fun Speech Bubbles.  So I got busy!

For my card I started with some Core'dinations Essentials Dark Cardstock and I scored and sanded it.  I then had some American Crafts embellishments that I layered and then I cute one of the SOG speech bubbles using some Core cardstock and lightly sanded it. Next,  stamped a SOG sentiment on it and finally added some little hearts.  I love how the Speech Bubble and Sentiment are front and center of the card.   

 

Be sure to stop by the Some Odd Girl Blog to take part of this amazing challenge.  You could win some amazing stamps!!!

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a home décor piece from Imaginisce.  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Tuesday Some Odd Girl Football Tobie

Happy Tuesday!

If you are looking for the Some Odd Girl and Perfect Layers Blog Hop please click HERE!

Can you believe how fast time is moving right now?  We are in the middle of November already.  I am planning my Thanksgiving menu this week.  It is crazy and a bit overwhelming because normally I am done with my holiday shopping and I haven't even started this year.  YIKES!!!!  Oh well, I will have to let it go. Right???

Today is Tuesday and you know what that means........A SOG digi release!  Today's release is so awesome.  You know that I first fell in love with Kristy's awesome boy stamps and this one TOTALLY ROCKS!  Football Tobie!!!!  I was brought up on Notre Dame football and then I married a Bengals fanatic and have two boys that LOVE watching football so this stamp was so perfect for me.  Hubby has season tickets to the Bengals game and I have given up my seat to Jack so that they can go and have fun together.  For the car ride down I always pack my guys a snack and also for the car ride back home.  So I made this card as a little surprise for them!

I cut the card base out using some Core'dinations cardstock and my Silhouette.  I sanded the cardstock just a bit to give it that distressed look.  I then added my sentiment with some bling.  Every card needs a bit of bling.  Right?????  Finally I colored my Tobie in orange and black ( The Bengals colors) using my spectrum noir markers.  I think they are going to love it!

supplies
cardstock- core'dinations
stickers- October afternoon
bling- hero arts
spectrum noir markers

Be sure to stop by the shop and pick this cutie up!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a new project.  See you then. Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Do you want to know what was  one of the first scrapbooking tools I bought over 8 years ago was?  It was the Perfect Layers Rulers.  I totally love them and use them all the time in my crafting!  So you want to see my project?????

For my project I used the Perfect Layers  ruler and used it to form my mats. I love the look of a perfect mat and you get that EVERY single time with these rulers!  I used Big Day Tobie, a clear stamp set.  I colored him with my spectrum noir markers.  I really like how the mats in black really make the pattern paper pop and they really just add a lot to the card.  It really defines all the paper.   

Be sure to comment at EVERY stop and you’ll be eligible to win one of TWO prize packs that include one of these tools and a stamp set of your choice!  Your next stop is Katie Perry's blog.
We’ll be sharing inspiration throughout the week so you can see how the Odd Girls have used the Perfect Paper Crafting tools, and maybe a little guest project here and there from our partners in this hop!  You have until Sunday at midnight EST to leave your comments, and Some Odd Girl and Perfect Paper Crafting will each draw one winner, to be announced on Monday, November 18th.  Have a Perfectly Odd day, and good luck!
