SOG - Digi Release Day - Super Mae and Sweet Kiss Kody

Oh my goodness, the digi release this week is SO MUCH FUN! I say this as if I don't love every SOG image, which I do, but I have a serious soft spot for super heroes and my husband (more on that later)

 

 To start with, we have Super Mae, who is so super cute. I went round and round on what color costume to give her, but I knew I wanted something classically bright! I added some sentiments from Moulin Mae and Make a Statement clear stamps and I think they work perfectly!

  

And then there is Sweet Kiss Kody, which brings us back to my husband..lol. We met 14 years ago, and this was the ideal image for a card to celebrate the event. Painted wood veneer embellishments are my new favorite thing. With a sentiment from the new I DO clear set, Seth was very happy with his card. It's up on the card shelf by his bed. So cute. 

Thank you all for stopping by. I know Christmas is just around the corner and everyone is so busy, but don't forget about the December Make Your Own Background challenge over on the SOG Blog! 

SOG - Digi Release Day - Library Mae

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means! Digi Release Day over at Some Odd Girl! WOOHOO!! This week there are two new images, Library Mae and Reading Tia! This week I've made a project with Library Mae. Isn't she sweet? I love the expression on her face as she tries to blow a lock of hair out of her face without setting down her massive pile of books!

I also dig the little detail of pencils in her hair! This is also my first time ever using Washi tape. I know, crazy, right? We're almost halfway through the SOG Monthly challenge, so maybe you want to grab one of these smart gals and use it for you challenge entry. *Nudge nudge*We also just started our Hol-ODD-Day Hop yesterday, and it's a good chance to see amazing gift ideas as well as an opportunity to win tons of fun prizes!

SOG Digi Release Day - Pajama King Tobie

Are you ready for a new digi release? Of course you are, what a silly question. This week there are adorable new Tobie & Tia stamps in the shop! I worked on the new Pajama King Tobie! He reminds me a bit of Max from Where the Wild Things Are...only cooler. *Grins*

Isn't he a brave little king? I love his little paper crown and and paper sword and how gleeful he looks. You'll look gleeful as you color him to! Give it a try!

SOG New Digi Tuesday - Wave Mae

I felt a little bit retro when I made this card and I think she's friggin adorable and a little 80's. (Now I have that Calvin Harris song stuck in my head)

And holy patterns, Batman! Hexagons, Chevrons, Stars and wood grain! Woohoo! Can you tell that I had fun, or what? I particularly love Wave Mae because she's so versatile! I could see her as a Miss You card, A Belated Birthday card, or just a general Hello, like I've done here. I used Fancy Pants Designs Trendsetter papers on this project as well as the awesome Perfect Layers tool from our hop earlier this month (I love that thing!)

For my second project I'm using the cut files from the same release. I used the 'You Are Here' graphic and made cute place holders for a dinner party!

These were super fun and easy to create and they turned out awesome!

And there is still time, so don't forget to enter your project into this month's Speech Bubble challenge

SOG-Digi Release Day-Turkey Day Kaylee

I'm so looking forward to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. It's great to get together with the whole family and sit down for a nice home-cooked meal, so that makes this week's release extra special! Kristi has outdone herself with the super cute, retro style Kaylee and a very versatile Pumpkin cut file!

I really loved paper piecing her dress and apron and can I please profess my total love for her hairstyle?! She's just so Leave It To Beaver and I definitely want to eat at her dinner table! The papers are from Echo Park Reflections (Fall Dots) Basic Grey (Bread Pudding) and the sentiment is from Thank You Mae

SOG - Digi Tuesday - ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!

There are pictures of me in existence, about a year old, wearing the old Tampa Bay Bucs orange and white. No matter how horrible our team is, my father still roots for them and is still devastated every time they predictably lose. In fact, the one time they made it to the Super Bowl, I was certain it was a sign of the Apocalypse. But still they play and still my dad watches, ever the diligent fan.

This card was inspired by my dad's love of football. To me, more than even the game itself, it's about persistence and fighting to move forward. So, with this week's release, I worked with Football Tia to make one touch little cookie...but who says she can't still wear pink? The sentiments is from Everyday Smiles.

If it were October, she'd make a great Breast Cancer Awareness card, wouldn't she? She would also look great with some cool speech bubbles...for say...our Speech Bubble Challenge over at the SOG Blog!!

SOG Digi Release Tuesday! Angels and Goddesses

Today I bring not one, but two samples from the A-Mazing Digi release today! First up is Angel Mae. Isn't she lovely?! I could easily see her on a beautiful Christmas card, but I wanted to make something more neutral with her to show how versatile she really is. Her wings are such a dream to color! I chose to keep a simple gold, white and pale blue theme with her, and I had fun creating the little highlights on her halo and the clouds, since obviously she's a bright, glowing angel. The sentiment is from Happy Day and I think it makes it the perfect card to give to a special friend just because!

Next up I have Forest Goddess

I have to admit, I have not had this much fun coloring an image in some time. There is so much detail in the drawing and it gives you so much opportunity to play with color and shading. I wanted a very vibrant autumnal pallet for her, finishing the area around her with matching Distressed Inks and a little bit of gold spray for added shimmer.

To do this , I cut two images of her, one on the solid rectangle and one right up to the outline and I used that for a reverse mask to protect my colored image from the Distress Inks.
I finished off the card with some Tattered Flowers made from Mid-Summer Night's Dream book pages, a little Webster's Pages trim and a Studio Calico wooden veneer flag with a Thank You Mae sentiment stamped on it.

These are definite must-have additions to your Some Odd Girl collections! Maybe you'll want to use them on this month's challenge!

SOG Digi Release - Puppy Gwen & Speech Bubbles

How could you not love that sweet punam?! Admittedly, I don't have a dog. I have a cat...but my cat Asher acts so much more like a dog it's kind of amusing and my parents own a dog grooming salon back in my home town, so I've kind of always been around them in one form or another. I just love Puppy Gwen. In fact, Gwen is quickly becoming my favorite SOGgy character to color (maybe because we have the same hairstyle) For this project, I decided to do a dimensional tag instead of a card. I got this adorable animal paper for Christmas last year and this seemed the perfect opportunity to use it.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E01, E02, E04 & E11
Hair: E30, E31, E34 & E37
Puppy: N3, N5, R43 & R56

The sentiment is from _ and stamped onto one of the brilliant new Speech Bubble cut files you'll find here.

And don't forget to enter the SOG October Ombre challenge! Time is almost up!!

I hope you all liked the project I created this week. Tell me about your favorite pet and stay Odd!
