Merman Kody.

Why, hello there, peeps!!

It's Tuesday, and it is my turn to write up the post for Some Odd Girl's new Digi Release post today.

What a hunk-a hunk-a burning love of a fella, eh??



Well, Merman Kody is such a strong and handsome presence in Odd land!! He is just about the coolest / hottest person in all of the images, in my opinion~ LOL! This was the first time I've colored up a six-pack on a stamp! I must say I rather liked it! :)

I used up Glitz Design's papers from their Nautical Box kit. There were a lot of symbols of anchors, and it made good sense to me to showcase Merman's Kody's strength and stability. Doesn't he look like a confident merman? He is also majestic and beautiful, just like a whale so I included it in the card.

Whales are actually my favorite animals. Mermans are a close second though, BUWAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!! Teehee!

Kidding aside, please visit some of my fellow Oddies for more inspiration: Katie, Mila, and Anna's blogs.

Mila also made a creation for the other digi release - Castle on a Hill Background.



Ok, folks! It's time for me to say good-bye for the day. Thanks so much for visiting!!!

A Cave and a Ride.

Hi all!

It's time for some new digi releases! Aren't you loving how often Some Odd Girl is having these?

When I first saw Man Cave, I thought this one is perfect for my hubby come Father's Day!



Don't ya just love the scene? I'm glad SOG have them now! Anyway, my hubby would love to have a room to himself like this! I added All Star Kody there for him, but shhhh, he actually ended up looking like one of my old crushes (oops!). It's not really my fault - my hubby has more of a buzz cut!

I went with the whole "Man" theme - their places usually look somewhat like college dorms or a first apartment. So I made the sofa look old, and I colored up that carpet a tacky green :). But I did add all those latest electronic stuff!



And let's not stop there. I have not one, but two digis to show you today! Piggie BackRide Tobie could be for Father's Day too!



My older son is scared of heights so I guess this is Oli in the picture :). I made this one for either my Dad or Father-In-Law.



Peace out!

Project Life Meets Some Odd Girl.

Hello, lovely peeps!

I wrote today's scrapbooking tutorial on the Some Odd Girl's Blog today. I hope you check it out!

My assignment was to scrap and write about how to use SOG images on Project Life! I really love incorporating both my loves for scrapbooking and stamping/ coloring, so I enjoyed this project to the moon and back!

This page was from our anniversary week. I love how SOG has so many characters and sentiments that you can really tailor to whatever you have going on in your life!

For the next two pics, I stamped using Neon ink.



This sentiment "forever and always" and the mini hearts (center card) are from Love Me Not Mae.



The heart on the green card is from Flirty Mae. The image below, which is stamped directly on a journal card is also Flirty Mae.



For the next two pics, I made my own title card. The title card, as you know, usually states the Week documented. I used Katie's tutorial again, and printed them all on one cardstock, colored Scooter Mae with Copics, and used Mr. Huey neon mists on that left upper corner.



I wasn't planning on the spray effect looking like sun beams / flare but I really like how it came out.



Then, you probably already saw that I am OBSESSED with the Great Gatsby from this post. Here, I wanted to document the movie and what I loved from it -- depicted here was mainly the style and fashion of that decade.



I was lucky enough to find sparkly papers and embellies. I sewed on some sequins and included my movie stubs. I used 1920a Kody and Flapper Kaylee again, but this time, I left them uncolored for a more classic effect and to make the bling stand out!



Then, lastly, I talked about I tend to take pictures of colored images. Here, I used it on a journal card and left the original one for a card. You can truly make the most out of your time! And with the first pic above, I include pics of my cards so that I have them in PL even if I've given them away :).



You probably already know how I feel about Project Life. As you can see, I documented big events and everyday life. And SOG stamps and images are perfect for it!!!

See y'all very soon!

The Great Gatsby!

What up, blogland?!

It's the first of the month, and it's time for another Some Odd Girl Sketch Challenge.



I used Flapper Kaylee and 1920s Kody. Added some sparkly sequins for flair and that fancy leaf that kind of looks like a feather. My favorite embellishment is that beautiful button with small beads and sequins. The purple button is lovely too, and all three embellies on the bottom were from an art kit that I bought from Traci Bautista of TreiC Designs. I think these items were vintage finds.



Now if you follow me on Instagram, you're probably aware of how obsessed I've become of The Great Gatsby after I saw the movie.

I loved the story line, the actors, the music, the fashion (to die for!). It was very beautiful and captivating! I am now more intrigued of that era, and am truly considering having a 1920s-themed party!

Anyway, back to the card. I am really loving emerald green right now (Pantone's color of the year) so I colored her dress with it. I researched the make-up back then and came up with "dark lipstick and eyes lined with kohl." If you can't tell by now, I truly love adding make-up to SOG images :).



I don't have a lot of art-deco inspired patterned paper, but the black and white one was close enough, I thought. I also changed up Kaylee's shoes to have that T-strap sandal style that was known back then with my Copic multi-liner.

I hope you get to join in on this fun challenge! Visit the SOG blog for more details and inspiration!
