Grumpy Panda

This little brea is so grumpy it just makes me smile! Is that mean? lol!!!

Another new Digi from Some Odd Girl today and I cannot tell you how much fun I had with this one. I'm totally having a blast creating slimline cards right now. I know, I know, I know, it's totally a fad and it will go by the wayside again soon! But, I can have fun with it while it's popular can't I???

Anyways, this little boy/girl it's totally in a bad mood, and I gotta tell you, I was totally feeling the same way yesterday. I think all of the quarantine and fear in the world today is making me moody.

So, I printed this bear on Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and colored it with the following Copic markers.

Skin: RV95, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20, E13 (for the freckles)

Hair: E18, E08, YR18, Y17, E31

Eyes: G99, G46, G000 C2, 0 (colorless blender)

Black: C10, C8, C6, C4, C2

White: W2, W1, W0, W00, 0 (colorless blender)

Black multilines pen, white jelly roll pen

I used a piece of Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and a stencil from Brutus Monroe along with Distress Oxide Inks for the background. I spritzed it with some water to disturb the perfect lines left by the stencil. I also used a sentiment from an old retired Whitt and Sass stamp set and some Stickles drops in "Star Dust." I also use foam adhesive squares to pop up the sentiment and the bear.

Okie Dokie my friends, I'm ogg to get another cup of coffee.... I really need it today! Toodles!

Getting a little froggy!

Ut's new release week for Some Odd Girl and I'm here showing off the new digital images!!!!

This release is so much fun because it features a group of kids all dressed up in silly hoodies! I don't know about you, but my teenager wears a hoodie 24/7, I swear!!!!! It doesn't matter that it's 90 degrees outside, he's ALWAYS in a hoodie!

This image of the little boy int he froggy hoodie I decided to make into a "big head." meaning I enlarged the image so big that it cut the bottom half of it off. I printed him up on Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and colored him with the following Copic markers:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20

Hair: E27, E57, E23, E34, E31

Tongues: RV95, RV34, RV32, RV00

Frog eyes: C10, C8, C6, C4, C2

Hoodie: G28, G19, G07, YG09, YG07, YG05, YG01

Eyes: E27, E23, Y02, G000

0 Colorless Blender black Copic Multiliner in .05 and white Jelly Roll pen

The background is made using the NEW Woodland Mandala Stencil from Sweet Sentiment Stamps and a variety of Distress Oxide inks. After stenciling onto the Sweet Sentiment Coloring Paper, I then spritzed the paper with Lindy's Gang Magicals Spray. I used a sentiment from The Rabbit Hole Designs, and one from The Greeting Farm, then an A2 scalloped die from Honey Bee Stamps to complete the card. Oh, and as always, there's a few little Stickles drops in "Star Dust" here and there on the card as well.

I hope you loved this project and I'll see ya back the rest of this week for the other images being release from SOG.

I'm off to refill my coffee mug! Toodles!

Nose to Nose

This sweet little mermaid is meeting this silly little angel fish nose to nose!

This mermaid is a digital image from Some Odd Girl and she's called "Dancing Mermaid." However, I manipulated the angle here to have her meeting up with this little fishy, instead of dancing.

Copic Markers used:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20

Hair: Rv14, R22, R43, R32, E93, E02, YR82, R01

A Proper Mermaid

Ok, so today is the last day for the Some Odd Girl MerMay release, but that doesn't mean the fun is over. I'll still be posting more and more and more mermaids throughout the month. Today though, I have a proper mermaid to share with you, No really, that's what she's named.

I had to color her with some classic mermaid colors because she was just so...proper. I placed her in a little shallow in the ocean with a sand bar and little boulder and of Cours beautiful tropical teal waters. I simply used a corner rounder and layered her on top of papers from Graphic 45. I love that she is just so simple, yet stunningly beautiful. And all of that hair makes me swoon.

Ok I'll catch ya on the next wave.... I'm off to the coffee pot for a fill up. Toodles!

Hey Mermaid

Hey hey hey... this mermaid is sure to make you smile.... the third in the new MerMay release from Some Odd Girl. Check her out!

When I saw her I just knew that she would be laying out on a rock, sunning herself, and becoming any passing sailor. Those poor fools have no idea what's coming. I love her swath of brunette hair and this bubblegum pink tail. I used my favorite Die from Honey Bee Stamps to cut out the scene, and then placed it atop a piece of incredible First Edition paper. I added a huge pink organza bow and a few Nuvo drops for good measure.

I hope that you are loving this amazing MerMay as much as I am. I'll be back tomorrow with yet another mermaid to share with you.

Mmmmm.... I think I need another cup of coffee.... yup, pretty sure I do, Toodles!

Mermaid Tunes

Oh Em Gee you guys!!!! I LOVE this next mermaid soooo much! Check this out!!!

Ok, so I love that she is totally rocking out to her favorite music and I felt like she would be topside for this. Just breaking the surface of the water and catching some rays. I used a piece of paper from my stash that is rustic weathered wood with some peeling teal paint, and cute the card front out using a die from Honey Bee Stamps. Then I added a really neat fiber from Busy Box Blends By Pammy J, and a fun Nuvo drops to finish off the look. I LOVE this card so much!

Okie dokie, I'm going to turn the music up and finish this cup of coffee! Toodles!

MerMay with Some Odd Girl

Ok, so you didn't think I was finished with the Mermaids yet did you? No way!!! I have a whole school of new mermaids to share with you starting today from Some Odd Girl!

Here's the first!

This sweet girl is called Mermaid Ponytail and she is totally FAB!!!! I paired her with the ne Graphic 45 Under the Sea papers and it was a match made in... well.. Atlantis! lol! I cute the fish out from one of the sheets of paper because her hand was drawn to look like she's petting something I thought. So... a big ol fish is going to foot that bill.

I loved the huge open fin at the end of her tail an the fun way her hair floats all around her body. This was a super cool image to color. I placed her in a sea cavern in the deep, deep sea and made her just a little dark and twisty! I hope you love her too!

I'm off for a cup of coffee. Talk to you all tomorrow, Toodles!

Anime Mermaid Queen

To finish off the Stamper's Delights Mermaid release we have the beautiful Mermaid Queen!!! Seriously though, she's absolutely beautiful! Check this out.

I loved the little seahorse and plant that accompany this mermaid. So, naturally I had to add them to the scene that I was creating for this card.

I went with fairly classic colors on this one in order t show off the beauty of the image. I just love her so much.

Ok, time for coffee.... yes, I know, again! lol.... Toodles!

Little Mermaids

Hey friends, I'm back with more mermaids!!! And these little cuties will have you smiling from gill to gill.

First up:

These adorable little Mermaids and their little starfish friends are just too cute! I had to keep them all together so here's the card I made.

I sorta made the focal point the adorable little octopus. the expression on his face was just too cute to not make him the forefront of the card. These little images were just too fun to color.

The nest set for today is this one.

I decided to go simple with this background as I wanted the little mermaids to be the focal point. But I loved hiding their little crabby friends in the sand though.

What a fun release this has been, there's more to color tomorrow, so pop back in for another awesome image from Stamper's Delights. I'm off to make more coffee, because.... well, that's what I do! Toodles!

Time for mermaids!!!!!

Welcome to MerMay my friends, I promise you an overdose of mermaids and their friends for the entire month. I have THREE new images to share with you today! Yup, three!

I'm going to start this off with a cool new digital Image from Stamper's Delights.

I love that Janice drew a MerBoy! You don't see a lot of male mermaids out there, so I was quite delighted to see this one. I figured he needed to be in traditional boy colors and he would totally be getting into mischief as well. Check it out:

Next up is the sweet little mermaid and her fun little friend. I loved the geodes in the foreground, Janice always adds so many cool details in her images.

When I saw her my mind immediately went to rebellious teenager trying to find a hiding place to get away from her parents and siblings. So I placed her in this little sea cavern. I mean, can you blame her? I'd totally go down to the sandy bottom and hang out with this adorable little squid away from everyone else who lives under the sea. Lol!

Next up, are these sweet little MerFriends. They are totally finished with social distancing and are ready to make up for lost time.

I decided they were going to be getting into a little mischief of their own hanging out in all the ruins of a sunken city. I mean, that's what kids do right?

I hope you enjoyed these images! They were so much fun to color and I loved creating stories and scenes for them! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here tomorrow for more under the sea fun! I'm off to get some coffee as my cup is empty. Toodles!

Masked Cutie

Remember how I said there are a lot fo cute and FREE digit out there right now? Well, THIS is one of them! This sweet girl is from Stamp Anniething and she has a few friends that are FREE as well.

I don't often color blondes because I feel like you lose so much depth in the hair with the lighter colors, but I REALLY wanted this girl to be a blondie!

I used the "Hello" paper pad from Doodlebug Designs and of course I used Mulberry paper flowers from Wild Orchid crafts. You can just see the Stickles I used as well. Their clear glittery drops are my absolute favorite!

Okie dokie, my friends, Guess it's time for coffee. I'll see you all tomorrow! Toodles!

Ahhhh.... Coffee

Ok, it's no secret how much I enjoy my coffee. We all know this, and we all can relate.... well most of us. But, with all that's going on in the world today, coffee is such a tiny thing that helps me get my focus back. Chemical Dependance be damned!

I colored this image with my Copic markers after printing her out on Sweet Sentiment Coloring Paper. I Aldo used Sweet Sentiment Paper and A Tim Holtz stencil with Distress Oxide inks to make the background. Then the DSP back there behind it all is from Unity Stamps. I can't tell you how much I love coloring this image. I've used her a few times on cards int he past and I just keep going back to her. The sentiment is from one of my Sweet Sentiment stamp sets called Coffee Plans.

Thank you all for stopping by today. I sure hope all of this craziness ends soon. But, until then, I have my cup of sanity.... oh wait, it's empty... time for a refill.... Toodles!

Cover your face!

There are a ton of FREE digit out there right now because of this incredibly weird and scary time we are all living through, and The Greeting Farm has one of the cutest ones I've seen!

This sweet little one was printed on Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and colored in with my Copic Markers.

I pulled out a paper pad from Authentique that I had not used yet and found these adorable papers in it. The paper pad is a 6x6" that's named "Meadow." The tiny cocoa clocks are just wayyyyy tooooo cute!!! Anyways, then I added a bunch of mulberry paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and a tiny satin ribbon. I also added soft pink Nuvo drops because..... well, because I find it difficult to call a card finished if it doesn't have Nuvo drops on it ok? Don't you judge me! Ha haha!

I hope all of you are staying safe and I hope that you are finding some peace and crafting a bunch during this difficult time. This too shall pass.

I'm off to get my favorite coping mechanism.... coffee!!!! See you all soon! Toodles!!!

Polka Dot Orchard Project

Well, now that we all have a little time to stop and smell the roses, IF you can smell them through the face mask you're supposed to be wearing, I've branched out a bit and found a new company with awesome digit to play with! That new company is named Polka Dot Orchard!!! Seriously though, you should totally check them out.

I found this amazing Rose Digi and I cannot stop coloring! OMG I LOVE it so much!!!!! Check it out.

Copic Markers Used: R56, R85, R83, R81, YR21, Y21, Y000, BG96, G94, YG63, G24, G20

I added this amazing image to some incredible Authentique papers and added a few Nuvo drops in a soft translucent gray color. The satin ribbon was from Hobby Lobby I believe. I just love how this card came out, it's not my usual style, but it was fun to push myself to do something soft and beautiful.

Ok, I need more coffee, so here I go. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses, visit Polka dot Orchard, and WASH YOUR HANDS!!!! Toodles!

Hope it doesn't suck

Ok, so you all know I like to use stamp sets in ways that are unique and maybe even not the intended purpose. That's why I try to make all o fly stamp sets super versatile. The Stamp set "I Hope it Doesn't Suck" is no acceptation to the rule..... Check out these cards that I made today...

This is the Image as I colored it in the class for January. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this came together. She is so sassy and just looks like a person I would totally be friends with. She has attitude, and it not into this workout at all! hahahahaha!

Today, I colored her in a TOTALLY different way, I made her a ginger! hahaha! I really wanted to use some bright and fun spring time looking papers, and this card allowed me to do just that.

This just goes to show you, you can color any stamp in any way, you just have to let your imagination go a little wild. That's the fun in getting crafty!

Now, I'm off to make some more coffee! I'll see ya all soon! Toodles!!!!

I'm Owl right.

Hey there friends and Sweeties! I'm here sharing the second day of the Rabbit Hole Designs release. This one is all about little owls. The newest set is called "Owl Right" and I'm showing you just a tiny piece of the cuteness.

I used a piece of Sweet Sentiment coloring paper and ink blended with some Distress Oxide inks on the bottom half of it. I stamped the Owl above that and colored him in with Copic markers. Then I added some Nuvo Drops and a ribbon. I also used an older TRHD set for the sentiment.

If you noticed, there's a whole bunch of owls on the stamp, but I masked them off and used only the one on the bottom right hand corner.
