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

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!

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!

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!!!

A Little Zodiac Mermaid

Hey there Oddies and Sweeties, I have a fun little birthday card to share with you all today.... Zodiac style!  Check it out:

I used the Pisces digital image from Some Odd Girl and colored her up with Copic markers. 

You can check out the image by clicking here: ♓

The background is made using the Sweet Sentiment Mandala Stencil and a few colors of Distress Oxide Inks.  I used a stamp from The Rabbit Hole Designs and some black WOW Embossing powder on a piece of vellum to make the sentiment. Then I added some Nuvo drops and a little satin ribbon to complete the card.  I also used some foam squares to pop up the little mermaid to add a little dimension to the project.  Here's a side view for you to see. 

Ok, I really hope that you all love this little card and I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend! 

I'm off to grab another cup of coffee, toodles! 

Cute Veggies!

Hey Oddies and Sweeties!  I'm here today to show you a new little project I made! Since Sweet Sentiment is doing an ATC swap this month, and the theme is Kawaii, I navigated my way straight over to the Some Odd Girl Shop to check out what was available to make these ATCs the cutest ever. As usual, Kristy did not disappoint!  Check out these adorable Veggies!

I used the Carrot and the Broccoli. 

I colored these cuties in using my Copic markers on some Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper.  I then mounted them on some Doodlebug paper from the "So Punny" collection.  I added a little pink and white bakers twine, and used Distress Oxide Black Soot ink around all of the layers to give it that finished look.  I just adore how these came out, good thing I mad an extra to keep for myself.... shhhhh don't tell ok? 

I hope these little ATCs inspire you to maybe join in our next swap, or to hop on over to the SOG shop and check out all of the cute Digis that are there!  I'm serious, I love them all! 

I'm off to make a cup of coffee!  Toodles! 

A day at the beach

Hey Oddies and Sweeties!  I'm here today with another card featuring an incredible digital image from Some Odd Girl!   Ok, so I'm actually not a HUGE mermaid fan.  I LIKE them, but it's not a big  "OMG it's a mermaid I MUST have it or I will surely die," type scenario.  With that being said, Kristy has some of the absolute cutest mermaids out there.  The one I'm sharing with you today is one of my favorites! Here she is:

She's rightfully named "Mermaid Queen" given that she is wearing a crown and a lot of other jewelry. Lol! I just picked up a piece of Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and went to town with my Copic markers!  I love orange and rarely see it used in cards, so I decided to use it as a focal point for her tail.  Man, I'm sure glad I did, because I totally love how it came out. I used a combination of Nuvo Drops and Stickles and a paint brush to make the ocean foam, added a bunch of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Magnolia, I stuck on some enamel dots from Doodlebug design.  Boom! Done! The papers are from First Edition and Graphic 45.

Well, as much as I wish I was at the beach hanging out with mermaid royalty, I'm still in Idaho, and it's January and cold.... so I'm going to go make a cup of coffee!  See you all soon my friends, Toodles!

Magical colors

Classic "Magical" colors, that inspire memories of very large mice who live in temperate climates, that's the inspiration for this card! I'm always a fan of bright colors, we are all aware of that! But for some reason red, yellow, and black are a bit tough for me to put together on a card.  So, I dove in head first, embracing the challenge.  Here's what I came up with.

I used the brand new Sweet Sentiment Coloring Paper to color up this FREE digi from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez after printing her out (at only 20% opacity).  The DSP is from the Echo Park "Wish Upon a Star" 6x6 paper pad. The ribbon is from Fun Stamper's Journey, and the Dies I used are from Gina Marie Dies.  The tiny piece of Washi tape and the enamel dots are actually "sprinkles" from Doodlebug Designs. In all honesty, the layout was a happy accident, as Mr. Ross would say about trees.... it just sort of happened. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm off to be a productive member of society.... hahahahaahahahaha I'm totally kidding! I'm off to color some more and drink coffee! Tootles!
