The Mad Scientist and the Witch!

It's Tuesdayyyyyyyy!!! And time for new digital stamps and cut file releases at Some Odd Girl! Make sure you head on over the SOG blog because I wrote up the post today :). We've got two digi stamps (which I have examples of here) and a new background cut file too. Here are Mad Scientist Tobie and Cauldron Tia.




Please pardon the date stamp. I accidentally put 2014! I thought a little lab scene would be good for Mad Scientist Tobie here. And can you hear him cackling his EVIL LAUGHTER? ***BUWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA** Lol!



I added that cute little shortie Frankenstein too! Ain't he precious?

And I wanted to make an adorable-looking witch! Cauldron Tia is quite powerful though, and she's got a dark side of course!!



Make sure you peep in the little blog hop we've got going on on the SOG blog, too! Lots of inspo from the other DT peeps! Some of the lovely ladies have projects for the new Star / Moon background cut file as well!



See you all very soon!!

i LOVE Astro Tobie!

Hello, everyone!! I've got two SOG-y cards to show ya today! Let's get started now, shall we?

The first one is of Astro Tobie, the newest digi stamp release over at Some Odd Girl!

I just love this stamp! I have this thing for astronauts! My sis, Kristine, had wanted to be an astronaut for years! Mattie was an astronaut for his first Halloween! So I was ecstatic when Kristy made this image!



I gotta admit that I love how this card came out. I really do love making scenic cards, and I was so relieved to find more of this October Afternoon Rocketship line!!! After all, I used a whole bunch on this other astronaut project for PWCO. (I made that album while I was still preggo with Oli so astronauts definitely bring out something very sentimental in me :)).



And lookie here! I even gave Tobie a real helmet! Haha! Y'all remember this technique, right? Yup! Glossy Accent glue!

The other DT gals also have got a new cut file to show ya! Star Fall Background Cut File can be seen in the blogs of Vera, Anna, Rachel, MP, Leah C.
Astro Tobie can be seen in the blogs of MP, Judy, Leah C.

In other news, there's a fun challenge going on at the SOG Ning Community! Make a project using a sentiment only (it has to be prominent!). Play by 9/8, 8 pm EST and you can win a 3x4 stamp and a CHA catalog! Such great prizes!!

Here's my take:



Of course, it had to be something I could color. This card is very much vintage like. And I just realized that the tone of the above cards make those look a bit vintage-y too!



Enjoy today!!

July Sketch Challenge at SOG

Hola! Can you believe it's July already? I sure can't! Wasn't it just the Holidays??

The first of the month means SOG has a new challenge -- the July Sketch Challenge. For the sketch and more Design Team inspiration, please visit the blog link from the previous sentence.

I decided to finally use up this little fella - Super Tobie. I've colored him a while back, and I didn't have great mojo last week when the sketch was due. I think the biggest advice I could give anyone who's just starting out with a design team is to work ahead. I was quite thankful I had a couple of colored up images to work with!

Oh, and I love those triangle embellies I bought. I've been buying quite a lot of crafty stuff so I may follow Jossie's advice. I may just do a "No Shop July." Haha! At least none for crafty stuff or clothes, for that matter!!!



Catch Ya Later!

Sneaky and Pouty.

Hey all!

It's new digi release Tuesday at Some Odd Girl! Isn't Sneaky Boy Tobie super cute? I know he is supposed to be bad, but I fashioned him after my eldest who just happens to have a sweet side too!

So not only does he have rainboots, and a cute caterpillar, he also has a dog and spiders! :)



And while we are on the topic of a sour and sweet side, here's Pouty Tobie:



If the first one was like my eldest, then he's like my second son. Oliver is supposed to mean "peaceful" but let's just say he is going through the terrible two's right now. Frowning is a common facial expression. Too bad because he is so cute!

For my Pouting Tobie card, he is mad because it's naptime and he wants to play with all of his dino toys!



Alright, folks, it's time for me to skidaddle! I'll see ya soon!

Snorkle Tobie in Hawaii!

Good Monday mornin' to ya! On my neck of the woods, it's not quite a Manic Monday since I'm off! LOL!

Today launches Some Odd Girl's featured digi - Snorkle Tobie. Snorkle Tobie will be on sale for 35% off for the next two weeks so go grab him! He's perfect for your summer adventures!

I decided to do something a bit different and use him on a scrapbook layout. It's been awhile since I did one of those! Here's MK on the beach of Waikiki from a couple of years ago. Doesn't he look so cute, still so chunky and small?!



And look at that smirky facial expression, hahahahaha!!!! Love it!!

See you tomorrow for more SOG fun!

A Cave and a Ride.

**Please scroll down for my Hair Raising Challenge for Ning post and my SOG meets Project Life post.**

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!

Funky Holiday Card.

Hola!

I was in the mood for creating a funky card this week. I seem to always go for super graphic brands like BamPop or Hambly (the Christmas trees shown here). I mixed it with unexpected elements like a flower on a card with a male image (from Some Odd Girl), & you get an even more eclectic creation.

Quite different for a Holiday card, eh? And isn't that flower awesome? For Christmas Card Challenges # 30, the assignment is to include rolled flowers.

It's made from a palm leaf, I believe. I bought it from my LSS & it was made by a local artist. Here's another view of it:



Make sure you visit the blog to see the other DT's work for more inspiration. And speaking of Hambly, did you know that they are going out of business? :(

I went to their final sale and got a bunch of overlays in bulk. Stay tuned as I may be selling away some or even hosting a give-away.

Toodles!

E's card

Hi peeps!
A quick and simple card for my dear nephew's birthday.

He only turned one, but I could tell he's gonna be one of those boys.

The kind who'll have the most fun when he's in the mud. The one who'll bring home 'pets' every week! :)

Used SOG's Tobie and Buddie.

Have a great day!

Father's Day at our neck of the woods.

My hubby is a casual-kind-of-guy. The kind who's always in jeans or shorts and a shirt. He gets easily annoyed at people who stop by without calling first because that would mean he'd have to put on more clothes, LOL!

For his Father's Day card, I thought that Beach Day Buddies' Tobie was perfect! My DH loves to wear his sando (that's Tagalog for undershirt or wifebeater). I used a polaroid sticker as his couch and a computer to symbolize his video game.

For Father's Day, he asked for a day of down time. We went out with my family for some sushi. Then, I took the kids and some card supplies to my parents' and he had the whole house for the afternoon and evening. I'm sure he enjoyed his alone time playing his games but when I came home, I was surprised that he also cleaned around. I know, I know... he's kind of awesome.. at least sometimes. :)

Added a cool calendar sticker, graph paper, and that spectacular mini wooden man is from Studio Calico.

See you later,

SOG Customer Blog Hop *Men*

Good mornin,' everybody!

I worked the whole weekend, so I sure am happy to see Monday! Today, I've got several cards for you to see. I've got them all in separate posts. This way, it won't get too confusing (I hope), and it'll highlight each individual card!



It's time for Some Odd Girl's 2nd Annual Customer Blog Hop! There are four different challenges, and I've made up a creation for each one.

The first category is to make a Holiday card for Men. I used Deck the Halls Tobie and the penguin from Warm Wishes Tia.



I fell in love with this patterned paper from Prima -- it reminded me of the forest from the movie Avatar. C'mon now, which guy could resist Avatar? I love how this paper is non-traditional. It's a bit dark so the penguin and Tobie stand out even more in their bright clothes and merry disposition.

To show depth, I even cut out more of the 'tree trunks' and layered them:



Made my own sentiment and added the lace for some flair. Hey, men can like drama too once in a while, right? LOL!

See you (very) soon!

Top 9 SOG Blog Hop.

What up, ladies? How're y'all doing this fine Friday mornin'?

I am over the moon today because I get to participate in a blog hop with some wonderful peeps and feature a very special, never-before-seen Some Odd Girl digi stamp!!!!

If you came here from Rene's blog, then you're in the right place.

Remember when I joined in on the contest for Guest DT on SOG's facebook? I turned in these three tags and was super bummed that I didn't get it? Well, sometimes, it pays to make it to the second round because Kristy decided to let us in on the fun for today!

Here's Kristy's message:

"Welcome to a very special hop that features the Monday Digi Release at Some Odd Girl! In August we had our first Get Odd Guest Challenge on FB and we had SUCH a fabulous Top 10 that I couldn't help but want to work with such amazing talent! So with the massive 14 image release dropping starting on Monday what better fun can we have a hop peeking some of these digis? PFFT none! :)

This release features images that are great for fall, Halloween, Winter and Christmas, everything you need for the coming season. So get started on the hop and check out some of the fun images. Monday we'll start reveals and a fun sale!"

Ok, folks, featuring Magician Tobie....



Doesn't he look great as a magician?

For the card, I kept the background pretty simple and went wild with the embellishments. I thought about what a magician would need for his/her magic show: a deck of cards, flowers out of the top hat, a bunch of bunnies galore! (Come to think of it, I missed the hankerchiefs tied up in knots!!!). :) Hope you enjoyed my interpretation!

Your next stop is Linda A! In case you get lost, here's the order of the blog hop! Just click on each link address to see more of the digi releases!
