Winter Rain Brings Creative Times

Ahh, TN. Tn in the winter can be a real downer. Thank heaven for christmas lights and baking, and CRAFTS!

Today was the very first Hol-Odd-Day blog hop for Some Odd Girl! Its still going on so be sure to CHECK IT OUT! Cause its Awesome!! There are some new images as well as some prizes, so get on it!!

Also, I was reminded that I never posted my scrap pages from last week, so here they are.

(Yes, those are flowers on a BOY page...because they are AWESOME flowers) 

Lastly, 3 challenges! Phew! Barely made it! It was a long, but QUIET day. Now if I could shake whatever plague has entered this house it would be wonderful. I am SO sick of being sick. Ughhhh.....but I digress. Life does go on!!

This first card is with my new Greeting Farm image and I am using it for Friday Sketchers #130. Wow! Go FS!! Loved this sketch. This card looked better in my mind, and the lack of sunlight here in TN isn't helping the photo any, but trust me when I tell you this card looks great in person!

This next card is for Tuesday Morning Sketches and Cupcake Inspirations AND Card Makin Mamas, sponsered by Meljin this week!! I loved these challenges and I  had to use my Kaylee from Some Odd Girl for theses challenges.  

Hope you are having a fantastic week thus far!

How much is that oddie in the window?

Yes, today is the day! Its a new Odd Girl challenge, and its fantastic! 

First, I want to say congrats to the winner and the 2 faves. Such FANTASTIC takes on the background challenge! Loved them all!

Now, on to this time around's challenge!! WINDOW!!! I love window cards. So fun and so fresh with possibilities! I used the Odd Girl Santa and created a chimney for him to go down. I used Fun Flock for the fuzzy parts on the image as well as for the snow on the roof. Inside the card, showing through the window is Ho, Ho, Ho!! Cut with my Cricut. 

Enjoy, and  I can't wait to see your projects!! Stay Crafty!

Rain, rain, go away....

Or at least the cold. One or the other, but not both, please!

Today seemed like the perfect day to craft....and clean...I chose to craft first. Just in case I ran out of time. Teehee...

Actually, last evening I finished knitting a scarf and crocheting a flower broach to go with. Actually, I say crochet....what I mean is, I crochet'd a chain, and then sewed it together..cause I don't know how to knit and crochet the right way. Haha....

Now, on to the cards! This first card I made with an adorable image that I found on a website a friend posted awhile back. This is Jude! Isn't he cute? This card is for Get Sketchy's sketch this week, a challenge I am sad to say I have neglected over the last couple of months. I thought the sentiment on the inside was perfect! Tee, hee...because its so true! 

This next card was for "Anyone For Anya", another challenge I have neglected lately. It feels good to get back into the game! Their challenge this week was, antique white. This is something I have NEVER done before. I used 3 copics to color Anya, and a blender....I also used a copic to antique the swirls. 

Hope its not cold and rainy everywhere today, and if it is, then I hope you are warm and snuggly inside. Stay Crafty!

Its RELEASE DAY !!!

That's right, folks, its that time again! Time for those slightly odd, extremely lovable Odd Girl Digis!!

I know I am late to the party, but I wanted to finish this project to give you one more reason to head out and get some of those digis!!

I made a 12 days of Christmas Advent Calander for my mini man who was just SURE it was time to hang this up already. He was quite disappointed when I told him we still had about a month to go.

This project is ALSO for Bee Crafty Downloads blog. Their theme this week is, Christmas! Well, I think this is as Christmas as it gets, no??

I used 3 of the latest release images from Some Odd Girl. Pressie Tobie, Penguin Friends and Santa. LOVE!! The Merry circles were a freebie from...somewhere, and the others were random images I had laying around to fill it in a little. The letters for the title are from Cricut's Story Book cartridge. The pockets were from Cricut's Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. I mounted everything onto seriously thick chipboard.

I plan to put baby candy canes in each pocket for Noah to take out every day. Hope that this inspires you not only to buy some new digis, but to also get out that Christmas stuff and CREATE! You only have ONE MONTH!!!

Stay crafty!!

Feelin Thankful!

So, who all is diggin this cold weather? I am not sure sure if I like it or not, haven't decided, but I am definatly loving the clouds and the sky! Its been beautiful! I love the changing of the seasons! ::sigh::

I am TOTALLY diggin the Some Odd Girl Freebie this month, Turkey Perky. Honestly, I usually can't stand Thanksgiving turkey stamps, but this one is freakin ADORABLE! And I am not just saying that. He is SO CUTE!!

I used him for cupcake craft challenges this week, as well as the Card Makin Mamas challenge over on Facebook. Cupcake Craft Challenges' challenge this week was "Thank you with autumnal colors". So, of course, the first image I thought of was Turkey Perky. Card makin mamas was to keep it simple, and keep the image the main focus of the card.

I used scrap paper for this card, which makes me even more proud. Thanks such a problem for me. I LOVE paper, and using the scraps gets old, and I want MORE, haha...yeah, its an addiction. I colored this image with all copics. I think that might be a first for me. I usually mix with Bic, but had a good range of colors this time. Yay!

My son wanted to get in on the action, so I gave him supplies and let him go to town. I am so proud that my son loves to craft and color. He LOVES some odd girl images! Hope you enjoy!

Stay crafty!!
