Some Odd Girl Clear Release

Hello Odd Friends,

I have a new card to share with you for this week's Some Odd Girl Clear Release.  I hope you're as excited as I am for a new Mae!

How adorable is Flirty Mae?  Stinkin' adorable!

I colored her up using Copics:

Hair: E13 - E19 odds

Skin: E000, E01, E11, E13, R20

Shirt/Shoes: R81, R83, R85, R39

Skirt/Jacket: E75, E77, E79

This sentiment is part of the clear sentiments set.  Isn't it fantastic?

The pattern papers are My Mind's Eye.  I used some brown twine, white buttons, lace and brown ribbons to embellish.

The button is KI Memories [Exclusive for Archivers].

That's it!  Love Mae?  Love the sentiments?  Head on over to Some Odd Girl to get your own!

Thanks for looking!

Meet Giddy Tia!

Hello Again, Odd Friends!

Back again with another Some Odd Girl release.

Meet Giddy Tia!

This card is a CASE of Papertrey Ink's Stamp-A-Faire make and take.  When I saw Giddy Tia, I instantly thought of that card.  I've spent so much time coloring lately that it actually felt good to stamp!  The background was stamped using Papertrey Ink's Natural Beauties set and Stampin' Up!'s Bashful Bride, Pixie Pink, Delightful Daffodil, and Garden Green inks.  The card base is Papertrey Ink's Raspberry Fizz.

I colored Tia using Copics:
Hair: E21, E31, E33, and E04.
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04 R22, R20, and E19
Dress/Shoes: B93, B95, B97, B99, YR00, YR02, YR04, and YR07
Eyes: G16, YG09, YG07, and YG06.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  It's stamped on vellum using Memento's Tuxedo Black.  (I should have used Ranger Archival.) 

I have no clue where I got this little memory heart.  I *think* it was a Michael's clearance?

That's it! 

Thanks for looking!

Some Odd Girl Hol-ODD-Day Hop!

Hello Odd Friends!

Are you playing along with the Some Odd Girl Hol-ODD-Day hop?  If you are, great!  If not, you should be!  All you have to do is link up a Holiday themed Some Odd Girl project (new or old). Hop on over to the Some Odd Girl Blog for the deets.

So, if you read my Some Odd Girl December Sketch post, you'd know that I love Winter.  It is by far my favorite season!  I love the holidays, the snow, polar bear themed goodness, and the plethora of peppermint scented everythings!  Bath and Body works releases their Twisted Peppermint line.  Yankee Candle releases their peppermint candles.  Peppermint bath salts, candy; this year I even found peppermint Chapstick!

Since my last card was a Polar Bear, I decided I would turn my focus and use Elf Kaylee to create a peppermint themed treat box:

Again, this is not a card...it's a box!  

With peppermints.  I love peppermints.  Both the peppermint paper and ribbon are from Michaels.  (I got them last year, so I'm not sure if they have currently have any.)

The top layers is actually a blue diamond pattern, but it's hard to see in the photos.

I colored Ms. Kaylee using Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E11
Hair: E21, E31, E33, E35, E55, E57
Reds: E77, R35, E29
Greens: G18, G17, G16, G05, G02
Whites: W7 - W0 (all)
Gold: Y28, Y26, Y18
...and Stickles.  Lots of Frosted Lace and Xmas Red Stickles!

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Tremendous Treats: Christmas set.  I stamped it in Stampin' Up!'s Red Riding Hood.

Here's a final view with the box and the lid.  =o D

Some Odd Girl December Sketch

Hello Odd Friends!

Welcome to the Some Odd Girl December Sketch.  Have you seen it?  Of course you have.  It's delightful.  Seeing as how we're entering Wintery goodness here in the Midwest, I just had to polar it up.  Oh, yea, and I {puffy heart} polar bears.  Like, seriously...love me some polar bears.  

/derailing for a moment
  I recently switched jobs.  I have a cube mate now.  He's a fun lovin', retired airforce, former farm boy turned software nerd, with entirely way too many Nerf guns.  I moved in and with me came all of my polar bears.  He shoots them with his Nerf guns.  Then World War Polar breaks out in the office and next thing you know, there are Ramen Noodles EVERYWHERE.  Certainly that will make sense to my fellow Engineers who spend more time in their Cubes than they do at home.  No?  Am I the only one?  Ok...moving on...
/derail

I *had* to use Polar Pals for this card.  Why?  Because Polar Bear + Wintery Goodness = Love.

During Kristy's Birthday Month celebration, Elaine share a tutorial for creating the Northern Lights background.  It was amazing and I had to try it.

I think Elaine used ShinHan Touch Twin markers. I used Copics:

Polar Bear/Snow: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, and B02.
Sky: B99, B16, BG13, BV01, G02, and B00.  I added the snow with a white gel pen.

 That's it.  Lovin' on some polar bears over here.  How about you?  What SOG goodness will you be using for your December sketch?  Link up to the Some Odd Girl Challenge to play along!  I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

Thanks for looking!
