Who needs COFFEE!

I was digging through my stash of stamps and discovered this oldie but goodie!  It's perfect for what I was looking for so I decided to color it up for a friend who is dealing with more than her share of anxiety.  I hope it brings a smile to her face.

The card will also be added to the challenge at Art Impressions Animals & Nature #284.  

Feel the Rainbow!

Kaylee Mermaid

I'm so glad I was able to share a mermaid with you each week in May.  Today I have a brand new digi stamp from Some Odd Girl to show you and, of course, it's a MERMAID.

This is Kaylee Mermaid colored with Spectrum Noir Aquablend pencils.  The background was made using Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers.  I love watercoloring with both the pencils and markers.  They were a good choice for coloring Kaylee Mermaid to give her a soft look.

Spectrum Noir Aquablend  Pencils used:
Straw, Canteloupe, Sorrel = Skin
Bright Green, Dandelion, Kiwi, Lagoon, Aqua, Aegean Blue, Papava = other

Spectrum Noir Aqua Markes used:

Peacock Blue, Aquamarine, Navy

Mer-MAY!

Puffer Cone Mermaid is a NEW mermaid at Some Odd Girl!  She is a great addition to the other mer-folks at SOG.

She is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I used some Spellbinders dies to create her extra underwater friends.

Spectrum Noir Markers used:

Skin: TN4, FS2, FS3, FS4, FS6

Hair:  OR1, OR2, OR3, CT1, B03

Other:  IB1 IB2, CR3, CR2, CR4, CR1, GB1, BGR1, BGR2, EB1

Quick peek at Watercoloring with Spectrum Sparkle Pens

Watch how easy it is to watercolor using Spectrum Sparkle Pens on Spectrum Aqua Watercolour cardstock.

The digi stamp is on the CD that comes with the 2017 Spring Edition of Crafter's Companon Inspiration Magazine (available May 9 on HSN, more info available HERE).

I merged the cupcakes together and added the sentiment, printed it, and watercolored.

I also used products by Core'dinations, Freckled Fawn, Echo Park, and Doodlebug.

You take the cake!

I needed a quick birthday card so I decided it was time to play with my Spectrum Aquablend pencils and Tiny Baker from Some Odd Girl.

I stamped her using Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink onto Spectrum Aqua watercolour cardstock.  I colored her up quick and added some embellies.  It's ready to mail! 

Coloring Challenge!

Grab Some Odd Girl's digi Gardening Mae for $1.00 and join the coloring contest at Kit and Clowder.

I'm just getting started using Spectrum noir markers.  There is a learning curve here compared to my usual Copic markers but I love the challenge.  I have a serious alcohol marker addiction.  More practicing to come!!

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.

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.

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!!

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)!

Valentines!

Here are the last two of my Valentines for this year.
These aren't fancy, but they turned out cute.

Silly Valentines!

I wanted to share my silly Valentines that I made for my younger boys.  Notice the toaster is NOT in pink or red colors, keeping it understated for one who thinks Valentine's Day is stupid.

Valentine's Day Hop with the ODD Girls!

Welcome to Some Odd Girl's Valentine's Hop!  We have a lot of LOVE to share with you today, so settle in and enjoy all the inspiration.

Today I created for you a little 'Goodie Bag' featuring the Royal Love digi stamp.  This is a sweet way to share some goodies on Valentine's day.

I colored the digi using Prismacolor pencils, and kept the bag layout super simple. Keeping the embellishments to a minimum means it can be used for anyone I feel like giving a little LOVE to.

Be sure to stop at each blog in the hop and leave some Valentine LOVE so you will be eligible to win the PRIZE!  Two lucky winners who comment on EVERY blog will win a $14.00 shopping spree in the SOG Shop.

Shaker Valentines!

Silly Valentines! I made the coffee one for my daughter who is a Star Bucks addict, and the other is for my girlfriend who is a tea lover.  Both have shakers for a little added bling.  I absolutely LOVE Doodlebug products and was so excited when I received some of the new Cream and Sugar line.  It's so CUTE!

Photography Cat!

Another adorable cat from the new 'Hipster' images at Some Odd Girl!  This is Hipster Photography Cat and she can't be much cuter!  I colored this with Prismacolor Pencils and make a quick and easy tag.

Check out all the new Hipster cats in the SOG shop!

BEE My Valentine!

I'm on the blog today at Some Odd Girl sharing my Buzzy Bee Valentine card.  Buzzy Bee is an older digi, but he's too cute to pass up.

I copied him and flipped him to get the two of them facing each other.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and some Wink of Stella, although you can't really see the glitter in the picture.  They make a perfect little couple!
