Recycle that Denim!

This is the actual denim pocket from a pair of my son's jeans that he outgrew.  I cut the complete pocket out and decided to make a little pocket pouch for pencils or whatever.

I used waterproof, permanent Ranger jet black ink and stamped the poppies.  The poppies are from Crafter's Compaion individual stamps, appropriately named Poppies  I also used Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Aqua markers to add color to the flowers.

Shaker Easter Card!

Time for an Easter project!



I used Spellbinders egg shaped dies to create a shaker, which I filled with some fun confetti I grabbed at Target.

This card features the Some Odd Girl digi Eggster Bunny.  He is just the perfect addition to this card.  I also used the sentiment from the clear stamp set Hip Hop Hooray from Some Odd Girl.

This card will stand open but lays flat to close and mail.  Kind of lumpy for mailing so it will require a padded envelope.

Happy Birthday Mom!

My Mom turns 85 tomorrow.  The number of  years may be 85 but my Mom is more like a 68 year old.  We are so lucky to have such a vibrant, active, and smart Mom.

This is her birthday card.  I created it with Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers and Crafter's Companion Bloom rubber stamp set.

What to do with a Medallion?


One easy thing is to turn it into a card.  I trimmed this coloring page from Crafter's Companion so I could use it to create a card.  I also cut out the very center flower and raised it using some Scrapbook Adhesives pop dots.  Quick and easy card!

Celebrate your Birthday!


Perfect boy card using Fist Pump Tobie from Some Odd Girl!  You can almost hear him yelling with excitement!

The patterned papers are from Carta Bella.  I really like how they are just a basic birthday theme and easy to use with any stamp.  Tobie is colored using Copic Markers.

Dancing Piper!


Introducing Dancing Piper, a new digi from Some Odd Girl!  She is totally rocking this half front card.  Still not sure about coloring curly hair, I think I may need to practice this more.  She is colored with Copic Markers.

Sky's the Limit!

This is Space Cadet Tia, one of the newer digi stamps from Some Odd Girl!  She is one of my favorite new stamps, perfect for projects for adventurous little girls.

She is colored with Copic Markers, and the background was created with Memento Summer Sky ink. Super Simple card which means easy to mail!

Daily Coloring!

I color usually every day so I'm sharing what I did yesterday.  This design is from Crafter's Companion Colorista collection.  I normally color character images so this is kinda new for me.  I gotta say I like coloring on these design pages.

Kid's Book Mark!

Maybe a fun bookmark will inspire more reading for your kids?  This was a real easy corner book mark to put together.  I just used some school themed papers and the adorable new digi, Nerdy Chihuahua, from Some Odd Girl! 

I created the triangle first and stitched it closed on two sides.  Using adhesive I adhered the rectangle to the triangle.  Easy Peasy!!
