Tuesday SOG Digi Release Sneaky Tobie

Happy Tuesday,
Can I tell you how much fun I am having with the Some Odd Girl Design Team?  Well, I am.  Kristy just makes THE MOST adorable images and you know how long I have loved them.  Well, this new release is simply amazing. Not only is she releasing new digi images but she is also releasing some new digi files and this FAB circle card base is one of the new releases.  I cut the card base with my Silhouette and then took the card base and cut it into pie pieces.  I wanted a bunch of different pattern pieces.  I then stitched them all together.  I just LOVE this card base- it is so fun and fresh!

Now for the digi stamp:  HELLO! I am soooo in love with Sneaky Boy Tobie!  He is just so incredibly cute!  I colored him with my Spectrum Noir Markers.  I tried to match his clothes to the paper.

Please stop by the Some Odd Girl blog to see these new releases and stop by the SHOP to pick up Sneaky Boy Tobie and the Cut File Circle Card Base!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with the Imaginisce and Tombow Blog HOp.  Lots and Lots of prizes!  See you then!  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Monday Moxxie Favorite Photo

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend?  We sure did!  I was very lazy but had  a wonderful time.  Played tennis, read, played with my boys and just relaxed!   My goal for the summer is to not craft on the weekends and just spend every minute with my family.

I am trying to get my vacation  photos done from 2012 and this is one of my faves.  I loved watching hubby taking Michael close to the water so that he was not afraid.   For my layout I broke an older collection from Moxxie and I just LOVE how it turned out.  I used my Silhouette to cut out the title and camera.  I then added some Bella Blvd washi tape and some flair badges and some wood veneer. I also added some tags from Elle's Studio.   I really loved going deep into my stash and used up a bunch of older embellies!

paper- moxxie
tags- elle's studio

flair- a flair for buttons

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with the new digi release from Some Odd Girl!  See you then!  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Moxxie June Blog Hop- Reach for the Stars

Welcome to the June Moxxie Muse-A-Palooza Blog Hop! This month one lucky follower will win the entire Reach for the Stars collection! You'll be over the moon and out of this world for this adorable collection designed for your little space cadets. Whether playing with a favorite toy, turning a shipping box into a spaceship, or watching a classic movie, pics of your little rocketman (or rocketwoman!) will go perfectly with this collection! It just doesn't get any cuter than this!

Reach for the Stars is my all time favorite collection from Moxxie!  It is just so versatile and I have used it a TON!  I just adore it.

For my layout I started with a Studio Calico mask and misted my paper using some Mister Huey's mist.  I then started layering my paper and adding some of the pre cut die cuts and I was done!  It came together so super easy!  I finished it off with some bling from Imaginisce and some wood veneer stars from Studio Calico.  Now it wouldn't be completely done if I didn't add some twine or flair so I added both from The Stringery and a Flair for Buttons!

Now you are probably wondering about the photo- In May Jack had Space Camp and the student's had to dress up as an Astronaut.  We found a helmet here and we made our own t-shirt.  He looked so cute and he had such a fun time all day doing science experiments!  I wrote my journaling on my says of the sun burst.

supplies
studio calico- mask, spray, wood veneer
imaginisce- bling, I Rock
moxxie- paper and die cuts
the stringery- twine
a flair for buttons

Happy Thursday!

I am here with you today to share the Some Odd Girl June Challenge.  This is another great one with an awesome sketch.

There is a lot of room for your own interpretation on this sketch.  Here is my take on it!

For my take on Tobie here I used the Imaginisce Endless Summer collection and I colored Tobie with my Spectrum Noir markers.    He just really reminds me of my little ones!  I just adore him.

Tueday Scrapbook Steals Smash Book

Happy Tuesday!

Well, Summer has officially started for me!!  I am so so happy!!  I can't believe I finished my 24th year teaching.  Where has the time gone?  It seems like yesterday when I heard from my first principal and was jumping up and down for my new job.  My first year teaching my salary was $16,000!  I thought I was a millionaire .  I am so looking forward to hanging with my boys!  We have a fun filled week all planned.  I can't wait to be there in the morning when they wake up and still be with them when it is time to go to sleep!!  Love it!!

Today over at Scrapbook Steals I am up with a fun How to Project on how to make your own Smash Books!

  

You can see the full project plus a video by going HERE!  I would love it if you stopped by  ( they are on mountain time so it is going up later in the morning.. )

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I am taking tomorrow off but I will back on Thursday.  See you then!  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Monday SOG Stamping on Your Layouts

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend?  I have to say this was one of the most relazing weekends I have had in ages. I sat outside on our patio and just enjoyed the wonderful cool weather.  I loved it.  I didn't set foot in my craft room all weekend!

Today over at Some Odd Girl this week we are featuring how to include stamps in your scrapbooking and project life work.  I was SO excited for this because I LOVE to include stamping on my projects.  I think they just add so much!  Here is a little sneak peek of my layout that I made using a ton of SOG stamps to create my own emellishments.

I would love it if you could stop by the Some Odd Girl blog HERE  and said hi and possibly leave a little bit of love!

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