Some Odd Girl Saying Goodbye

Hey Everyone,

I have been a member of the Some Odd Girl Design Team for 2 years and this is my last month!  I have loved every minute of it.  I think the reason why I love my Some Odd Girl is that Kristy really makes stamps that can be used in so many different ways.  I love to include the awesome sentiments and critters on my layouts as well as the obvious cards.  There are a ton of fun cut files that are perfect for scrapping as well.  I just love everything!

The team was asked to have a post with our 3 favorite projects that we made this term.  Here are mine:

On this layout I used the awesome sentiments but I also used the paper collection, wood veneer and sequins.

On this layout I used the "extra" stamps that you get in each set.  The gears and triangles were just perfect for this layout about my son's Pine Wood Derby car.

This layout does not feature any of the stamps but it does feature my Title using the Cut File Chill Sentiment.  Like I said before there is something for everyone in the Some Odd Girl shop!

Now this is where the fun begins becuase I got to pick one item to giveaway from the shop and I picked the Cut File Chill Sentiment.  You need to leave a comment below!  Leah, from Some Odd Girl will pick the winner!

Be sure to stop by the SOME ODD GIRL BLOG to find all the links to the design team members that are leaving and each member is giving away one of their favorite things.  All the winners will be placed on the blog as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back soon.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Some Odd Girl Nerdy Kody

Happy Monday and Happy March!

Today is the new release from Some Odd Girl for the clear stamps.  Today I introduce Nerdy Kody!  Isn't he just so good looking?  I love  him.  I colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers and for my card I used the Some Odd Girl paper collection along with the wood veneer.

For my sentiment I tried some masking becuase I wanted that heart to be red.  It worked out pretty well!

I will be back tomorrow with a look at Nerdy Gwen.  Have a great day!

SOG CAS Valentine's Day Card

Happy Monday,
This week on the SOG blog they are featuring a week of inspirtation for Valentine's Day.  I wanted to get in on the fun so I made this CAS card using the Frenchie Kody stamps.  I have had this card done for about a week but we have not had any sunny weather to capture a photo.  So I had to make due with a photo.  The card is pure white but the lighting was terrible.  Sorry!

I wanted a really clean look to this one and so I used 2 stamps and added some pearls.  Quick Easy and Fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will have some Core'dinations work for you later in the month!  I am working on some St. Patrick's day cards and layouts!  Can't wait to share.  See you soon!
Have a wonderful and crafty day!

October 13 SOG Inspiration Layout

Happy Monday,
Today I have a a new post up over at Some Odd Girl for the weekly inspiration.  For this post I made a new layout using the Sunshine Sorbet paper collection and of course, Some Odd Girl clear stamps!  What could be a better combo.  Right?  Awesome Paper and Awesome Stamps!

This is a photo of my little one playing out in the snow.  He looked so darn cute.  I used the paper  to layer underneath the photo and to create some hexagons. I thought that went well with the wood veneer hexagons  and then I added some of the matching sequins.  All of the these items (paper, wood veneer and sequins) are available in the Some Odd Girl Store!

I have a video for you on how this layout came about!

Sept 17 SOG Teacher Gift Box Inspiration

Happy Wednesday!

I am here today to bring you a cute and fun idea for teacher or someone special.  It is the cutest little gift box that is just perfect for small gifts.

I used a Silhouette cut file to make the box using some Core'dinations cardstock.  I then cut the front and side panels using the Sunshine Sorbet paper from Some Odd Girl.  I used the awesome woodgrain pattern paper.  I then used some Some Odd Girl stamps to decorate the front of the box (Fruit Salad & Teacher Mae ).  I colored my apple using my Spectrum Noir markers.  Finally I added some yummy twine and attached the cute little tag.

Here is a quick video on how this came together. 

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I will be back soon with a new project.  See  you soon. Have a wonderful and crafty day.

Sept. 16 SOG Puppy Love

Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday means it is time for the new digi release from Some Odd Girl and today I have THE cutest little puppy EVER! 

For my card I used a shape form my Silhouette library and turned it into a card.  I then colored my little puppy with my spectrum noir markers and cut him out and pop dotted him onto the card.  Next I used a Some Odd Girl clear stamp and pop dotted it on as well. 

Here is a video I made showing how this card came about.
