Long time, no odd!

It feels like it's been ages since I've colored up a Some Odd Girl stamp!  I was working on something for Farmhouse Memories using Artist Mae by Some Odd Girl and had to do something up for myself!  When coloring her, I knew I wanted to use some of my new embellishments from the OhDeerMe embellishment kit that I'm trying out (if you're interested in subscribing for your self, enter my name and email at the check out and we'll both get a $5 coupon!)  - it's only month one, but I love what I'm seeing :)

Anyway, let's see the card already!

I used the washi tape from the kit to create the background.  Since I knew I wanted to use the washi ahead of time, I colored Mae in a nice coordinating green.  The hearts, 'yay!' token, and chipboard arrow are from the kit as well.

I don't know what it is, but I'm loving the lime green and teal combo! Here's a little close up of Mae.

And since it happens to be an Anything Goes Challenge at Markerpop this week, I'll be playing along there.

Thanks for stopping by!

Playing with Prima Dolls

I've used Prima Doll stamps before (see my art journal page here), so when my mom wanted to take a class with them at Joys of Life Scrapbooking, who was I to say no.  :)  We went and made five tags which reminded me of how much I love these stamps.  I picked up a new one and this weekend got to work.  Instead of paper piecing like we did a lot of in the class, I opted to do some water coloring.

I love how she turned out!  Here's a close up:

I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week.

Brrr-fect

Today I'm playing along with the latest Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.  This week is a picture perfect challenge.  Here's the inspiration photo:

When I looked at the picture, I immediately thought a love card would be the way to go (because it's a wedding cake ;)).  I also took the color palette for inspiration and the scalloped square topper.  With all of that, I came up with...

My card is 4 1/4" square on a dark grey card base.  One thing I'm trying to keep up with this year is doing something with the inside of he cards as I make them.  (Fingers crossed I can keep up with that this year!) So here's the inside - 

I do love that little penguin!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

So I made a quick card for my Grandmother's bday and got it in the mail hoping it would reach her today.  Then I learned yesterday that she's in town, so she won't be getting my card for some time.  So instead, she'll get a preview here :)

Pretty simple one this time around...I wanted to play with some embossing powders.

And I used the color palette from ColourQ #182:
