*** If you are here for the There She Goes New Release HOP - Please click HERE.

Good morning! It's time for me to post for Some Odd Girl. Sadly, this will be my last post as part of the DT. ;-( Definitely won't be my last SOG image I use as I love them!  It's been fun, but it's time to move on. Works out well though, I love to lighten my load during the summer months. Too much going on!!

Today I am using Shy Kaylee from Some Odd Girl.  Of course I had to make the hair funky!

Thanks for stopping by!

SOG - Watering Can

 

Good morning!! It's humpday for most  but today is my Friday!! So excited!  I am taking off for a couple of days and lucky me I get to spend it with some AMAZING ladies. Some of which, you probably stalk their blogs like I do!!

 

Today we are sharing another of the latest digi releases from Some Odd Girl. This one is Watering Can Tia.

 

Tia is colored with Copic markers.  The paper is from my favorite Tangerine by MME paper pad. The day I was making up a bunch of cards I think I grabbed it most of the time!  I didn't add a sentiment as I'm not sure just yet what I will use this for.


Be sure to come by the SOG Blog to see the rest of the release and all the DT's fabulous creations!!!

Thinking of You.....

Good morning!! It's Friday!! Are you doing the happy dance? I am!! I love my weekends, although it's another busy one. I have Bday party tonight for my brother.  Tomorrow I will be volunteering at at a Mets Spring Training Game all day. Hopefully I will find a little bit of time for some crafting as I have a couple deadlines coming up!! 

It's the first of the month and that means there is a new challenge on the Some Odd Girl blog!  We have a sketch for you too...

I used Sweet Thinkin' Mae.  Funny thing, I colored her all up, put my card together then went online to do my blog post. I go into the SOG store to grab her link and noticed a VERY similiar color pattern!!  It was NOT intentionally! LOL  Just a total coincidence!  I have a stamper friend and that happens to us ALL the time. It's kinda funny. I will post something and she will text me with a card she did but hadn't posted yet that is almost identical. Or vice versa. Crazy!

By the way, don't forget there is still 2 days to get in your application to join the SOG DT!

Hugs,
Tracy

Cuppa Mae and a Box Tutorial....

I don't know about you all, but I am a Pinterest addict! I love going there for all sorts of inspiration. Especially crafty ideas and recipes!! Awhile back ago I found this simple box by Cosmo Cricket made from a 12x12 piece of cardstock.  They have a video tutorial available. I did a photo tutorial which I happen to like because I don't have to pause in between steps!!

 Get your scor-board out!!

Score your paper at 3" and 9", then turn...

Score the other side at 5" and 7".

 

Crease the score lines.

Here is where it gets a little tricky.  You have to bring the center out to the sides like this...

 

 

After you do all 4 sides, you will end up with something that looks like the below:

Unfold and add a strong adhesive such as Scor-tape, ATG, etc.

Add tape to all 4 locations as shown:

Adhere.

 

You should have something now that looks like this:

 

 

Now it's time for the fun stuff. You can decorate the outside as you wish. Be sure to add a flap to it so you can close the box easily.

 

I used Cuppa Mae from Some Odd Girl. Colored with my copic markers. The paper is from Bo Bunny.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Crush On You - SOG

Good morning! I hate monday mornings! blah! I always need just one more day of weekend time to get things done and get in some rest time. 2 days is just not enough, especially because this time of year is always a BUSY time with so many birthdays and events going on. I think we have something going on every weekend for the next 2 months.  I need another vaca!!

Today is my day to contribute to the Some Odd Girl Blog. I have used Kody with Flowers.

 

Love Kody and he is so adorable holding those flowers.  Copics were used to color him and the paper is from the Devoted by Carta Bella line. 

 

Thanks for looking today,

Hey there! It's day 2 of the latest Clear stamp releases from Some Odd Girl. Todays release is an addition to Kaylee's Closet - Fairy Wings.

I love playing with Kaylees hair and adding fun colors!  To add the clothing onto Kaylee I used the masking technique. Super easy to do.  The paper is from a Prima Marketing pack.

Make Everyday Magic

I am going to bombard you this morning with lots of goodness. I was SICK all weekend. Apparently I partyed way to hard at Mardi Gras last week and when I came home on thursday I wasn't feeling quite like myself. Then I started to get congested....and full on cold. Yuck!  Today is seriously the best I have felt and thats not saying much because I am most definitely NOT 100% yet. But at least I feel somewhat alive!!

This week is the new clear stamp releases for SOG.  I'll have another one for you in a little while.

 

Yesterdays release was called FAIRY MAGIC.

 

Thanks for looking!

Boy, I love you!

 

 

Morning! I have a Solo post today on the SOG blog.  Valentines is coming up quick, so I couldn't resist using Lovey Tobie.

 

 

It’s getting close to Valentines Day. Do you do anything special each year? We are kind of boring in my house, I usually cook dinner and the whole family sits and eats. Exciting, huh! Last year I made a chocolate fondue and had all sorts of yummy things to dip. That was a hit, especially with the kids. Not sure what this years plans will be as it is becoming a very busy week for us. I may actually get to go out this year. Never know!


Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Bag...

Good morning! This week I am sharing a project on the SOG blog showcasing the Spectacular Soiree digi stamp.

 

I made a gift bag with my image for a birthday gift. Love the bright colors in the paper.  I was ready to get away from Christmas colors...bring on Spring!!! Actually, we haven't even had a "winter" here in Florday yet. This morning it was HOT and HUMID! ughhh. I need to move to a place that is about 72 degrees year round...;-) Not to cold not to hot.

 

Come on by the SOG Blog and you can check out a couple of our DT's members projects using Spectacular Soiree too!

On my Mind....SOG New Release

Hello again! I'm back with a last clear stamp release for this month by Some Odd Girl. Today we are using Flirty Mae and isn't she soooo sweet!

 

So this week we have showcased.... Love me Not Mae, Love Bandits and now Flirty Mae. Which one was your favorite? My favorite is probably Love me Not, but it's a hard choice to pick just one!!

 

It comes with a couple different words and phrases. I used 2 together on here. She is colored with Copic markers. I then used some Vintage seam binding and added a pearl in the center.

 

Come by the Some Odd Girl Blog and check out the other DT's creations. We have an AMAZING team.....such talented ladies!!

You Warm My Heart- SOG Release

***If you are looking for my Facebook Book Candy  - Come by HERE.

Gooooood Morning! Today the Some Odd Girls are sharing the latest Digi release!!  If you haven't seen the last couple of days come by the blog and check out the other 2 digi releases!

Today I am using - Cuppa Mae. I am NOT a coffee drinker, however, lately I have been sick and I have been grabbing coffee, hot tea or hot chocolate because it warms me up and makes me feel so much better!  I knew I wanted to play with Cuppa Mae. I had some ideas of making these little Keurig Boxes for sometime now and It's just the perfect image for it!!

 

I found this box tutorial online, however, the directions were ALL WRONG. I was so aggravated (as were many others when I started reading the comments, lol) so I did some tweaking and made it work and I love it. So, I am going to redo this and make a little tutorial to share soon.

 

 

I think I know what people at work are getting this year! ;-)  Perfect little something....

I colored Cuppa Mae with copic markers.  The paper is from My Minds Eye, one of their older lines. The Ribbon is V-Striped Twill from May Arts. The sentiment is from CTMH. 

Copic Colors:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R02
Shirt: R30, R32, RV10
Pants:
Mug: YG11, YG13, YG17
Hair:  E21, E23, E25, E29

Thank you so much for looking today and be sure to come by the Some Odd Girl blog and take a look at the other Dt's creations and the other releases!

Also - Don't forget - I have Facebook Candy going on. Help me get to 400 Likes and it could be yours! ;-)

**Second post today - if you are looking for YNS - Fun Friday please scroll down or click HERE**

Hello Peeps!  It's Friday....I'm doing my happy dance. I need this weekend sooooo bad!  Tomorrow night I'm heading south to go to see Toby Keith with a friend and my sis. Should be a good time. I WILL NOT be making the mistake of NOT tailgaiting this time!  I did that for the Jason Aldean concert and I truly think we were the ONLY people not tailgating. So yes, I am succumbing to peer pressure...I will have my cooler with my Lemonade and Vodka in it! ;-) I will not be chugging away at beer bongs though!

Ok...enough about my bad habits. Today is my day to post on the Markerpop blog. I used Dancin' Mae by Some Odd Girl.

 

For this card I used Copic Markers to color her up. (Colors are below). That perfect sentiment is from S&P Company- Bold Sentiments III - Birthday. The paper is Ambrosia by Bo Bunny. The button is from the Hello Sunshine Collection by Bo Bunny and the twine is Purple Plum Divine Twine.

Copic colors:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20, R02
Outfit: YG11, YG13, YG17, V01, V12, V15
Hair: E40, E42, E43, E44, E47
Shoes: C00, C1,C3
Background: B000, B0000, W2, W4

Don't you just love the Some Odd Girl images? I know I do!!!  Don't forget there is a large Pre-Order of the new release in the store. Hopefully you joined us last week for the fabulous Blog Hop we had. Wow, talk about some amazing cards! If you hadn't looked yet, do go check them out.
That's all for today. Thanks for looking!!

Some Odd Girl - Birthday Treat Box

Good morning!  I'm here to show you a little treat box that I created for iCopic.  I used Some Odd Girl cutie "Birthday Mae". The box is very simple to make and great for treats, gift cards or a small gift.  I use the same measurements for the box and adjust the height on it to make bigger or smaller easily.

I almost feel like I cheated with this project becase these papers by "simple stories" have all these cute little sayings and such in them. So I grabbed one of them for the Happy Birthday!
