New Images from Some Odd girl

Have you checked out some of the newest images over at Some Odd Girl. I managed to get some time to create some cards with the newest images.

The first one is Brr Tia.  I am feeling that right now as the high has only been in the teens today where I live. Though I don't mind snow, this cold is just creeping into my bones. I colored this one with my Copics.

The second one is Pressie Tia.  This one is great for either the holidays or for birthdays. Love the versatility of  this image for those occasions. 




Come check out some of the great new images available over at Some Odd Girl.

I will also be entering these ones into the following challenges:

Christmas Continues

What a whirlwind it has been lately. Though Christmas just came to a close, today I wanted to showcase two cards I made with Some Odd Girls images that I had to wait to after the holiday to show (did not want any spoilers).

The first one is Christmas Tree Mae.  As usual, I colored the image with my Copics and just a bunch of scraps I had in my stash that were holiday themed.

The next is from a Retired Stamp that I sure we will find in the shop in the digital section sooner than later.  The character is Kaylee and I will always adore this one.


Here is to hoping that for all of you that celebrate, you had a great Holiday and Happy New Years to all.

Halloween Tag

So we have a tradition here of "Booing" each other and leaving a little something for a friend near Halloween time.  So I decided to use a stamp I had from a retired collection in order to make a tag to put on my bag.  How I miss these stamps image and was so happy to see this artist start back up with CC Designs since I just love this artist style. 



Anyway, I colored the image with my Copics as usual. The paper is from my stash and I got some clearance stickers at AC Moore that I added.

Hope you like it.

Greeting Farm Card

This is what happens when I go through my stamp boxes. I try to declutter every 3 months but sometimes it just results in me getting distracted and excited to find the old stamps I forgot I had lol. I stamped up a bunch of Greeting Farm stamps. 

I colored this one up with my Copics. I often get asked do I pick paper first or color and 90% of the time I color first and then find paper to match which is what I did this time.

I even took out my embossing folders and my Spellbinders dies for the scallop circle behind her.

13th Birthday Card

I am still in shock that I am officially a parent of a teenager.  She is my one of my greatest joys even when she is telling me "Come on Mom, go away!!!!"  She has always been a creative soul so she appreciates my projects so I decided to make her this card.

I have been subscribing to the Kit & Clowder Art Classes so this month's class was just perfect for using for her card.  I have also had this digital stamp from SOG in my stash for awhile so thought it would be good to finally color it up. I have another one I am working on for a dear friend of mine 40th so hope to show that one soon.
