Feel the Rainbow!

It's time to begin a new challenge at

Sasayaki Glitter!

The August theme is Rainbow Colors!

Gather up your bright papers, ink, markers...and join the challenge.  To me rainbow colors are always bright and happy.  I used Tea Mouse hoping to motivate you to get your rainbow on.  You can use any image for Sasayaki Glitter's challenges so there is no excuse not to join in!

Challenge Reminder!

July's Challenge is still going strong at

Sasayaki Glitter!

I wanted to give you a little incentive to join the challenge by sharing this digi Cowboy Shy!  I do love a cute cowboy!  You can use any image for Sasayaki Glitter's challenges so there is no excuse to join in!

Be Sparkly!

I find it hard to get a good picture of sparkly projects where you can really see that glimmer.  But I still wanted to share this card.  It features The Greeting Farm Fluffy Unicorn stamps, Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens, Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth Cardstock, Crafter's Companion Signature Collection Birthday Party Paper Pad, and Crafter's Companion Going in Spirals die.

Those little unicorns are having so much fun.  Be Sparkly!

Wish Big!

This is Genie Kody from Some Odd Girl colored up using Copic Markers. This is a super simple card with the distress ink washed background, and the die cut clouds.  Sometimes simple is the best way to go!

Sneaky Bandit!

This is a new digi stamp at Some Odd Girl, named Raccoon Burglar.   He's so cute he will probably steal your heart!!  I have used him here for a boy gift tag.

He is colored using Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir markers.  Colors used include: SN, AB1, AB3, CG3, CG4, MB1, MB3,GGi, IG3, IG5, BG3, BG5, BG7.

Spring Flowers!

Want to send flowers...well how about a paper flower pot full of flowers!  I created this using the Crafter's Companion Create a Flower metal die set by Sheena Douglass.  It has three different sized flower petals so you can build the size and type of flower you want.

I used Bazzill white cardstock to cut the flowers and then colored each.  I wanted the petals to have a little bit of a streaky look hoping that would make them look a bit more natural.  I used Spectrum Noir colors:  HB1, HB3, GB4, GY1, AP4, RB2, LG5.

The card opens so you can leave a personal message inside. 

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!

New Challenge at Some Odd Girl

Today starts the month long challenge at SOME ODD GIRL! This month's optional twist is to POP it out!  I merged Hipster Photography Cat and Hipster Tom Cat before printing.  They make a cute little pair.

Get all the details for the March Challenge on the BLOG!

The 3 Little Bears Banner!

You never know when you will run into the 3 Little Bears.  These 3 came from a digi set at Vera Lane Studio.  

I have a friend who wants this for her little boy's room.  I think he will find these bears very friendly and the banner is in no way frilly (directions I received)!

All Gangsta!

This is a new digi from Some Odd Girl, Gangsta Bunny!  He really cracks me up and I was anxious to make something with him.  I kept the card simple because any 'gangsta' I know wouldn't want a fussy card. LOL

He's colored with Chameleon Pens, and some Glossy Accents was added for his glasses.  Also the sentiment stamp is from Make a Statement clear stamp set from Some Odd Girl.

Chameleon Pens used:  BL4, NU3, GR2, CG3, BR5, CG5, detail pen.

Feeling Mad!

I feel a little "Mad Hatter" myself.  After a long week of kids with illnesses, and other strange happenings I was ready to get a little creative.

This Mad Hatter is from Vera Lane Studios.  He is colored with Chameleon Pens and you can see that glitter, ink, and a bit of Modeling Paste was also involved.

Welcome the new baby!

Another new digi from Some Odd Girl colored up.  This is digi Baby Bath, and it will be perfect for baby cards...birthday, new baby, as well as scrapbook pages, pocket pages...and you can use it as either a boy or girl.

This was colored using Chameleon pens, and a white gelly roll pen covered with Wink of Stella glitter.  It's hard to see but I wanted the bubbles to have a bit of sparkle.

I dig YOU!

Time to start thinking about Valentine cards again.  I was excited to play with a new to me stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs, Gopher.  I must admit, I did think he was a beaver even through the stamp name is Gopher.  Anyway, he makes such a cute little valentine for one of my favorite little guys.

He is colored with Copic Markers plus I used die cuts from Lawn Fawn and my silhouette cameo to create the card.  

I'm entering this into the Mix It Up Challenge #27 at Sugar Pea Designs blog, theme is anything goes.

Baby it's cold outside!

Taking a break from all the holiday activities to do a little creating.  I used Some Odd Girl's digi stamp Snowman for my shaker card.  It's hard to see my light shading, guess I need to be a bit more heavy handed.

Proper Holiday Attire!

I needed a special tag for a special friend and this digi from Vera Lane Studio is perfect. I used Prismacolor pencils and I'm really happy with how it turned out.  The image just makes me giggle!

Hopefully I'm all done with holiday cards and tags.  I think so...but you never know what might happen.

Holiday magic!

Sharing some Holiday Spirit!  This card features Some Odd Girl digi stamp Christmas Tree Mae and the gingerbread men are from clear set Gingerbread Kaylee.

I used both Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers for this.  I really like how it turned out, but it took me a LONG time to figure out the folds for this card!

Christmas Mice!

I adore this little mouse stamp set, Let's Mingle, from The Greeting Farm.  I actually colored them a while ago and am just getting around to make a gift tag with them.  I knew I wanted to have them with a Christmas tree, I just wasn't sure how I'd work them together.  Then it came to be that they should be peeking out of the tree.

I really like to create tags since they are so easy to hang on a gift bag.  I'm a gift bag kinda girl, I hate gift wrapping!

I'm entering this into the Farm Fresh Challenge 'Sparkle' at The Greeting Farm.  It was a challenge to get the glitter to actually show in the picture but TA-DAH it does.

Surprise! there's a PIG inside!

Time for a gate fold card with a PIG inside!  Once again, I was merging digi stamps and created this bespectacled pig wearing a winter hat. OINK!
