Holly & Jolly

Hi All,

Thanks for stopping by today - I have one last Christmas card to show you for the month, as our theme this month was holidays! 

My card base is Whisper White, then a layer of Basic Black, then Marigold Morning, then white again, and that was embossed with my Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder.  I added a strip of Close to Cocoa CS, punched with my Martha Stewart gingerbread man edge punch.  The sentiment is an SU rub-on, put onto Basic Black CS, and punched out with my 1 3/4" circle punch.

The image is one of the A Day In The Life series (love those images!), called Santa's Knee.  I printed that onto PTI White CS - I like to use that cardstock for images with a lot of small details so that my Copics are less likely to bleed all over the place. I coloured the image with Copics, and it was matted onto Basic Black. 

Don't forget - there are always a few challenges running over on the ISS blog - so get your creations in for a chance to win some digis!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

InStyle Stamps Blog Hop

Hi All!

Thanks for joining me today - we are blog hopping with InStyle Stamps!  This month's theme is.....Christmas!  No harm in getting an early start, right?  You should have arrived here from the uber-talented Janelle!  If you didn't, head back to the ISS blog to start at the beginning.  And, after you're done the hop, don't forget to head back to the ISS blog to comment, and vote for your fav DT project.  Whenever you win with ISS, you get to choose 4 digi images!!!  That's a great deal, if you ask me!

Here is mine:

I made a scrap page!  I chose the adorable Solise image for my project - I can't tell you how much I love these anime images!  For the entire project, I used cardstock, designer papers, and stickers from an old SU Simply Scrappin' Kit (Winter something?).  I just love the colours - Pretty In Pink, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, So Saffron.  I also added an icicle border with Whisper White CS and my Martha Stewart edge punch.  The picture is of my twin nieces - it was a sort of Christmas card I got in the mail that year to commemorate their first Christmas.


I printed Solise onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut out the panel.  I added some Bashful Blue ink around the edges, and layered it onto another Whisper White piece.

Your next stop on the hop is the AMAZING Angela!  {waving}

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Some Odd Girl: Style Challenge 5

Hi All,

Thanks for stopping in again this week for the Some Odd Girl challenge on the SOG BLOG!  This week, we are being challenged to use a statement that is a pun on our card.  This was a really fun challenge, and your brain really starts working - you might even give yourself a laugh trying to dream something up!  I know all the ODDies had a blast with this!

Here is mine:

My card base is Whisper White CS, followed by a Basic Gray piece, and another Whisper White piece.  I stamped my sentiment in Basic Black and Old Olive inks with a Close To My Heart alphabet on the white piece.  I also took some Old Olive CS, and punched it with my Martha Stewart grass edge punch. The smaller grass piece is mounted on with Dimensionals.  I cut out some random black patches with Basic Black CS, and stuck them more towards the right side of the card. 

I printed Mooey from Some Odd Girl out onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured him with Copics, cut him out, and mounted him on with Dimensionals.  I also added some Crystal Effects to his eyes for some gloss.  This adorable image was just released this week - you should definitely head over to the store to check out the new releases!!!

Remember to head over to the SOG Blog to check out what the whole DT have done, and to submit your own "punny" creation!  There are always some AWESOME prizes up for grabs!

SOG Teams Up With Fab 'n' Funky!

Hi All,

Thanks for stopping by - this week, Some Odd Girl is sponsoring the challenge over on the Fab 'n' Funky blog!  Their challenge this week is to incorporate bows and buttons!  Now, this one is right up my alley!  I decided to use the adorable SOG freebie for this month, Tiny Tia.

Here is mine:

My card base is Baja Breeze, then a layer of Hand Drawn DSP with a Basic Black mat.  On top of that, I cut out another piece from the same DSP pack (with cakes and stuff on it) using my Top Note die in my Big Shot.  I cut out the perforated layer around it, and layered that onto a black piece of CS with the same die.  I added some Whisper White satin ribbon around the base layer, and then added a bow, which I tied with my Bow Easy.  I also added 3 Baja Breeze flower buttons to the lower left corner with Mini Glue Dots. 

I printed Tia onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copics, cut out the panel, and matted it with Basic Black. 

Make sure to stop by the Fab n'n Funky challenge blog to make a project using bows and buttons to try to win some great stuff!  Don't forget:  there is always a challenge running over at the SOG Challenge blog as well!

SOG Teams Up With Card Patterns!

Hi All,

Some Odd Girl is sponsoring this week's Card Patterns Sketch #74!  This is so much fun and 2 of us Oddies got to participate as well!
Here is the sketch:


Here's my version:
My card base is Pretty In Pink CS, and all my DSP is from the SU Petals & Paisley pack.  The next layer is DSP, matted with Whisper White and Basic Black, and I added some zig-zag stitching around it with my Janome Sew Mini.
The panel across the bottom is DSP, Basic Black, and Whisper White, which was punched with my Martha Stewart fence edge punch.  The panel across the top is just a white piece with a black mat with stitching, and underneath is a piece of twill.  The 3 buttons on the left are threaded with Linen Thread, and attached with Mini Glue Dots. The sentiment is an SU rub-on, cut out with a Modern Label Punch.

My image is called Nana Split - from Some Odd Girl!  I printed it onto PTI White CS twice, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out.  The second image I used for layering.  I also added some red Stickles to the cherry for some sparkle.  The panel behind the split is Rectangle Nesties with white CS, and a black mat.  I added some sponging to the white rectangle with Pretty In Pink and Regal Rose inks.  I added 3 more butons to the right side, and some stitching to that panel.
Make sure to head over to the Card Patterns blog to enter your own creation with their sketch and try to win some SOG stuff!  Also, remember there is always a challenge running at the SOG blog, so head over there if you haven't already!

O Christmas Tree!

Hi all,

Well, as you may know, InStyle Stamps had a HUGE release week this week (on the 16th)!  They released so many fun and cool images - if you haven't been to the store, you MUST go!  AND, this month is holiday month for the DT, so we got to make all kinds of Fall, Hallowe'en, Christmas cards, and more!

Have I mentioned how much I love the images from the A Day In The Life (ADIL) series?  They use the anime-type characters, but they all have a beautiful scene, and they are so much fun to colour!  By the time you are finished, it looks like a masterpiece!

Here is my card:

My card base is Always Artichoke CS, followed by a Whisper White piece with a Basic Black mat.  The white piece was embossed with my Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder through my Big Shot.  The sentiment is an SU rub-on, using Handsome Hunter CS, and the corners were cut using my Ticket Corner Punch.

The image O Christmas Tree was printed onto PTI White CS, coloured with Copics, cut out, and matted with black CS.  The image really allows you to get colourful and fun because of all the different elements in there.

I hope you're able to go check out the new images in the store, and don't forget - there are always a few challenges running at any given time on the ISS blog - head over there to participate for a chance to win free digis!  They are on the left side under "Current Challenges".

Birthday Blog Hop at InStyle Stamps

Hi All!

It is a very special day for the ISS DT - it's our owner Virginia's birthday!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  The massive DT for this company has put together a hop where we all made a tag with a certain letter, and as you hop along, you will decipher the message!  You should have arrived here from the letter "P", but if you didn't, please head back to the ISS Blog to start at the beginning!

Here's my tag:

My base is Whisper White, followed by a layer of Sweet Slumber DSP, and a Basic Black mat.  I punched a hole at the top with my Horizontal Slot Punch and added some So Saffron ribbon and Linen Thread.  I took a huge "Y" chipboard letter from Close To My Heart, and covered it with red ink, and adhered it to the tag. 

I printed the adorable Eula onto PTI White CS twice, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out.  I used the colorful balloon section from the second image so that it could be layered.  For my final touches, I added a bunch of buttons all around from different button packs.

We are also each giving Virginia a virtual travel itinerary, where we tell her where we would take her if she were in our town!  Well, Virginia, if you came to Toronto, Canada, there are so many things we could do!  We would definitely go to the top of the CN Tower to check out the best view in the city, and I would have to take you to the Eaton Centre, which is one of the biggest malls in Canada!  We would also go to the Air Canada Centre to check out a sports event or a concert, and we would definitely have to ride the subway!

Since this is a Birthday Blog Hop, we can't leave you without a chance at a party prize! So here are the rules.


1. Start at the beginning of the blog hop with the letter H.
2. Comment on each Design Team's blog because they need a little love and increase your chances at the party prize.
3. Go to PaperYumness and wish Virginia a Happy Birthday.

The deadline to win a digital image is Sunday, July 18th at 8:00pm Pacific Time.

That's all you need to do! The prize???? Not one, but two! You might win either one by commenting on a blog. Good luck and hope you have fun all along the way!

The next stop on your hop is the letter "B"!  Have fun!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

InStyle Stamps: Jack-O-Lanterns

Hi All,

I am showcasing a really fun image from InStyle Stamps today which was part of a huge release from Friday, the 16th!  It is called Fence O'Lanterns, and I think it is really spooky and fun!  You can also check out the whole slew of posts on the ISS blog to see DT cards for every single image that was released - it has been quite a week for us!

Here it is:

My card base is Tangerine Tango, followed by some shiny Rockabilly DSP with a Whisper White mat, and all of the corners are punch with a ticket corner punch.  The next large panel on the right is a skull piece from the same DSP pack, matted with Tangerine Tango, and corners punched.  I added 3 Mustard-coloured eyelets to the right side using my Crop-A-Dile (that thing sets eyelets like buttah!).  Now, it's hard to see (I should have chosen a different colour of CS), but I took a strip of black and a strip of white, and punched them with a Martha Stewart punch that has rats and tombstones on it, and attached it to the bottom of that panel, then tied some Tangerine Tango ribbon around it.

I printed the pumpkins onto PTI White CS, coloured them in with Copics, and matted that image onto a Basic Black piece.  They were REALLY fun to colour - I highly recommend it!

I hope you're able to stop by the ISS blog to see what the DT have been up to this week, and there are always SEVERAL challenges running that you can enter!

Today is the last TTS post for the summer!  We are taking a hiatus, and we will be back in FULL force on September 10!  So for our last challenge Friday, it was anything goes!  We are all showcasing whatever we wanted, and it was a blast!

I chose Posy from Kraftin' Kimmie, and I paired her with some Rockabilly DSP with cherries on it!  I stamped Posy in Memento ink onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with Label 4 Nesties!  I added some sponging to the image panel with Kiwi Kiss ink as well.

Some Odd Girl Stash Challenge 5: Stripes, Dots, and a Big Title

Hi All,

Today we are playing along with the 5th Stash Challenge with the Some Odd Girl Challenge blog!  I love these challenges...they happen every 2 weeks.  This week, we have been challenged to use Stripes, Dots, and a large title!  I thought this was a really fun one.  I combined Hip Kody (newly released!) with my To The Nines Specialty DSP. 

Here he is:

My card base is Close to Cocoa CS. followed by the striped DSP, and a Basic Black mat.  I added 3 black brads to the left side for some interest.  The horizontal strip is some dotted DSP with a black mat, and both were punched with a scallop border punch from EK Success.  I wrapped some Polka Dot Soft Suede ribbon around that layer.  The title "Dude" was added to the right side with some foam Thickers!  Big enough for ya?

Hip Kody (from Some Odd Girl) was printed onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured with Copics, and cut out. The great thing about these images are that the lines and spaces are so large, it makes cutting them out a jiff!  I mounted him in between the brads and the title with Dimensionals.

Don't forget to stop by the SOG blog to submit your own creation - Kristy always has an amazing prize up for grabs!!!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

InStyle Stamps: Inspiration Challenge

Hi All,

Welcome to the first Inspiration challenge with the InStyle Stamps blog!  This challenge will be replacing the Over The Hump Day Blog Candy Giveaway that we did every month.  I think you'll agree that the new name is much easier to say!
As you know, July is the month for holiday projects, and for this challenge, our theme was Hallowe'en!  This is such a fun holiday, but it's hard sometimes to imagine why you would give someone a Hallowe'en card.  For my project, I decided to make a bookmark instead.  I read a lot, as you can probably tell.

Here she is:

My bookmark base is some shiny green DSP from SU's Rockabilly pack, and I cut that out with my Blossom Nestabilities.  I also cut out a smaller black piece from the same DSP pack and adhered that.  I took a piece of Kraft CS, and punched the egde with a Martha Stewart fence punch, and then sewed it onto the base with my Janome Sew Mini. 

I printed Witchy Chloe from ISS onto PTI White CS, coloured her in with Copics, and cut out the panel with Curved Rectangle Nesties.  I printed her a second time so that I could colour her pants and the broom to cut them out and layer them on with Dimensionals.  I also added a bunch of bats in the background with a black pencil crayon - makes it a little spookier. 

Make sure you stop by the ISS blog to see what the whole DT have been up to, and to enter your own Hallowe'en creation for a chance to win a FABULOUS prize!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

InStyle Stamps Colour Challenge: Christmas Tree Chloe

Hi All,

It has been such a busy week!  Phew...well, it's time again for another Colour Challenge with the InStyle Stamps blog!  This time, Taylor chose our colour inspiration from a piece of Christmas wrapping paper she found at Olive Paper.  Isn't it yummy???


I went with an olive green and yellow theme from this lovely piece!
I chose this adorable Chloe image from ISS, which will be released by the 16th of this month - you should see all of the mouth-watering images that Virginia is releasing by that date!

I started with a Crushed Curry base.  The DSP I used is called Dashing (retired SU), and it was matted with a Basic Black piece.  On top of that, I added a border of Kiwi Kiss CS and Basic Black CS, both punch with my tree edge punch from EK Success.  I though it made an interesting and cute border!  The sentiment at the bottom is an SU rub-on, and it was punched out on Basic Black CS using my Word Window Punch.  I also punched some Fern Branches out of Crushed Curry and Kiwi Kiss CS with my Martha Stewart punch, and attached them with my 2-Way Glue Pen. 

I printed Chloe onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with rectangle Nesties, as well as a Basic Black mat.  I added some sponging to her panel with Kiwi Kiss ink.  I used my Mat Pack and paper piercer to make holes around that rectangle panel at the top, then made some faux stitching with my White Gel pen.

Make sure to head over to the ISS Blog to enter your creation for this awesome colour challenge, and try to win yourself some free digis! 

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

SOG Digi Day: A Colour Challenge

Hi Again! (It's only been an hour since my last post!)

Today's second challenge is a colour challenge hosted by....ME!  I decided to challenge you to use primary colours!  That means red, yellow, and blue on your card or project.  Should be easy enough, right?  Head over to the SOG SNR Group to play along, and see what mischief we are making!

Here is my card:

My card base is Kraft CS.  Next, I added a Whisper White piece, with a Basic Black mat.  At the top, I added a piece of white satin ribbon, and attached a bow I made with my Bow Easy.  All over the white piece, I added a bunch of 1 1/4" circles punched out of my East Coast Prep DSP pack, because it has a lot of primary colours in it!  A smorgasbord of circles! 

I printed this top secret image (Princess Mae) onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out.  I also added some Stickles (Fruit Punch) to her shoes, and some Golden Wheat Shimmerz to her crown! 

I hope you're able to play along with some of our challenges today! Every challenge entry will get you points towards free stuff!
Challenges are due by Sunday, July 13 at 6:00pm, EST. Upload your project to your SNR photo gallery, and ensure to use the tag words "Some Odd Girl" (the quotation marks are very important!).

SOG Digi Day at SNR - A Sketch

Hi All,

I am so excited that today is the Some Odd Girl Digi Day over at our SNR Group!  Last month, our digi day was really successful, and we are expecting even more traffic this month!

We are having challenges every hour, and you have lots of chances to win some amazing SOG digis!  The first challenge (10 am, EST) is a sketch challenge from Kim!  Here it is:

Looks like fun, doesn't it???  Now, we all decided to showcase the adorable freebie that you can get this month - her name is Tia! You better hurry over and get her before the month is up!

Here's my card:
My card base is Rich Razzleberry CS, followed by some Lovely Flowers DSP, and a Basic Black mat.  For the panel, I used my Top Note die in my Big Shot, and some of the same DSP, with a black mat.  I had to trim the DSP piece so that it would be smaller than the black piece : ) I wrapped some cute Razzleberry Polka Dot ribbon around the bottom of that panel.

I printed Tia onto Neenah Solar White CS, and coloured her with Copics.  I felt like she was just crying out to be coloured as a blond, so I went the opposite way and gave her black hair (like yours truly).  I added some sky and grass as a scene.

It's a pretty simple card, but I think Tia steals the show!  Make sure you join in today's festivities over at our Some Odd Girl SNR Group for today's digi day! Challenges are due Sunday, July 13 by 6:00pm, EST. Ensure you upload your creation to your SNR photo gallery and make sure you use the tag "Some Odd Girl" (the quotation marks are very important!).  You'll be racking up SOG points before you know it!

Monochromatic Friday

Hi All,

Welcome to another wonderful challenge Friday with The Town Scrapper!  This week, we were challenged to make a monochromatic project - that means all one colour theme!  Usually I find these types of challenges rather difficult, but I jumped in this time.  I did go with a safe colour - brown!

I also participated in this week's Sketch Saturday challenge:


Here is my creation:
My card base is Kraft CS, followed by some Au Chocolat DSP, Basic Black, and Chocolate Chip layers.  I wrapped some Chocolate Chip and black grosgrain ribbons around that base layer, and I added 3 black brads to that.  My vertical panel is also the same DSP and a Basic Black layer.  I punched 2 stars from Chocolate Chip and Kraft CS, and attached them to the base. 

I printed Big Dreams Evan by Victoria Case onto PTI White CS, coloured him with Copics, and cut out the panel with Curved Rectangle Nesties. 

I thought this would be a great card for a little boy, or for any guy - you can't go wrong with brown!  If you love the image I used, or want to stock up on some other great stamps like Greeting Farm, Magnolia, C.C. Designs, and Kraftin' Kimmie, just email Phebe at info@townscrapper.com or call her at 519-882-0623.  Make sure to head over to the TTS blog to enter your own monochromatic creation for a chance to win a great prize!

I am throwing myself into bunch of challenges again this week!  I am using one of the new releases from Some Odd Girl - Dancing Mae!  This girl is tooo cute, and you won't be able to resist all the characters that Kristy has been coming up with!

The first challenge I have entered is the Totally Gorjuss sketch for this week:


The second challenge I am playing with is Pile It On: to use my favourite things. All my favs on this card are my Copics, my Nestabilities, and my patterned papers!

The third challenge is from Fresh Brewed: fireworks. My fireworks inspiration is all the glitter I used, and I drew some sparks around the scallop circle with my white gel pen.

The final challenge I am using is from Crafty Catz: distressing - I distressed most of the panels on my card.

Here it is:
My card base is Basic Gray CS.  Next, I added a layer of Nouveau Chic DSP, matted with Basic Black and Whisper White, and all 3 layers were distressed.  The vertical panel is the same DSP pack, Basic Black and Whisper White, all distressed.  I cut the circles out using my Nesties, and I distressed the DSP piece and the Basic Black piece.  I added some 2-Way Glue Pen to some of the DSP design on the circle, and sprinkled it with silver glitter.  The scallop circle is Basic Gray, and I added a bunch of little spark designs to each scallop with my White Gel Pen.  I also added some Whisper White Satin ribbon across the bottom with a "V" cut out of each end. 
The sentiment is a white SU rub-on on top of Basic Black CS. 
I printed Mae onto Neenah Solar White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with a white border around.  I added silver glitter to her belt and to the music note on her iPod, and I added some Crystal Effects to her iPod and her earrings.

Challenges:
- Pile It On #26: My favourite things
- Fresh Brewed #9: Fireworks
- Crafty Catz #39: Distressing

***If you are looking for my Town Scrapper challenge card, scroll down one post!

Well, it is the 2nd of the month, which means another fun sketch challenge over at the InStyle Stamps blog!  Our awesome DT Coordinator Taylor has lined up another fun sketch for everyone to play with!  For the entire month of July, all the DT are showcasing holiday images!  That means Hallowe'en, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even some fall themes!  Nothing like a head start, I say!

Here is the sketch:

Now, I don't usually do this, but I had to flip the sketch to accommodate my image - oooooo, rebel!

Here's mine:

My card base is Really Rust CS, followed by a layer of Chocolate Chip, and Fall Flowers DSP.  The half circle is also Chocolate Chip and DSP, which was cut out with my Coluzzle.  I also added some fall leaves from Close To My Heart, and some fern branches cut out of Chocolate Chip CS using a Martha Stewart punch, and I topped it off with a white button with some Linen Thread.

I printed Jocelyn from ISS onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with Label Seven Nesties.  I also punched out some photo corners with Chocolate Chip CS and DSP, and added it to each corner.

The Town Scrapper: Tent Card Challenge

Hi All,

Thanks for joining me for another fun challenge Friday over at The Town Scrapper blog! This week, we have been challenged to make a Tent Card!  TTS also previewed a Tent Card Tutorial this week done by our fellow Scrapette Maria - you can find it HERE.  It's pretty quick and easy and has a really fun look to it because the image dangles.

Here is mine:

My card base is Close to Cocoa CS, and my DSP is Enchante (retired SU).  The hole is punched out with Label Four Nesties, and I attached a neutral eyelet just above that.  I attached some miscellaneous white roses to the corners, with some dew drops beside them.  I punched out some photo corners with the Chocolate Chip CS and the DSP for all 4 corners. 

I printed Sophie With Daffodil by Victoria Case onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with a thin white border.  I punched out a smaller panel with the Nesties, and sponged some Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery ink inside the stencil.  I attached Sophie to the panel with Dimensionals and suspended her from the eyelet with some Linen Thread.

You should definitely head over to the TTS blog to check out what the whole DT have made and to submit your own tent card to enter to win a great prize!

If you want to make any purchases or ask any questions of Phebe, you can contact her by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623!  She would love to hear from you!

Style Challenge 4: Cherriez!

Hi All,

Welcome to another wonderful challenge with the Some Odd Girl blog!  This is our 4th Style challenge, and we have been challenged to make a card that is not shaped as a square or rectangle.  Not too hard, right?  All the DT are using fun images that were just released on June 29!  As soon as I saw Cherriez, I knew I wanted them, and I knew I would pair them with my SU Rockbilly DSP because they have cherries on them.

My card base is the green piece of DSP, and I used my large Scallop Circle Sizzix die (from SU) to cut it out.  The next layer is the cherry DSP, with a Basic Black mat, both cut out with circle Nesties. 

The Cherriez from Some Odd Girl were printed twice onto Neenah Solar White CS and coloured with Copics.  I cut one of them with circle Nesties, and cut the other cherries out to layer, and the circle was matted with Basic Black CS.  I added a little paper clip to the side with some Kiwi Kiss ribbon tied to it.  I also cut out some cherries from the DSP, and adhered it to the clip as a litte accessory.

Make sure to visit the SOG blog to see what the whole DT have made, and to enter your own creation for a chance at some great prizes!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!
