Some Odd Girl August 2018 Release Recap

Hello!  August has been a busy month!  I had a birthday, we were away at the beach, and I've been non-stop coloring my butt off!  Some Odd Girl released a bunch of adorable new "minis" and had a 12 Days of Coloring challenge in our Facebook group!  Today I'm showing off a few of my creations using the new release images that I colored up during the challenge!  If you head over to the Some Odd Girl blog you can find the August Release Recap post HERE!

I kept all of these cards pretty simple with just a couple of dies.

First up is one of the Mini Summer Girls.  This cute pair are ready for fun in the sun!  And with the temperatures as hot as they have been this week, it seems we're not ready to say goodbye to Summer just yet!  She is colored with Copics and fussy cut.

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Octee

Hello!  Summer is winding down and school will be starting soon (if it hasn't already where you are), but I am not quite ready to say good-bye to sun and sand and sea... creatures!  Today's Some Odd Girl design team inspiration features the adorable little Octee!

This cute fella is colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I popped him up on foam squares inside the Stitched Cirlces die from La-La Land Crafts to give him the look of hanging out by a ship's porthole.  Such a fun card to make with these colors and dies!  Hopefully it did make you smile!  :-)

For my second project, I used my Copics to color and then fussy cut Happy Camper Marci!  And her moose friend!  I have become obsessed with Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks and I used some of both here to create my "sunset" background.  My son told me it looked like a galaxy and that is ok too!  Look at that wee camper die!  Isn't it precious?!  The door and windows really "open"!  And of course, the kit always comes with awesome coordinating sentiments to go along with the images and dies!

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Little Black Dress Mae

Hi!  It's been a hot, humid, lazy kind of week.  I had my birthday, leaving me smack in the middle of my 4th decade.  I used to be able to craft into the wee hours of the night, get minimal sleep, and still function at work the next day.  Now I find myself dozing off on the couch by 9pm!  The joys of getting older!  Lol  But I was able to stay up and get this card finished for my Some Odd Girl design team inspiration!

The image is Little Black Dress Mae.  Every girl needs at least one good one, right?  She is colored with Copics and I used some gel pens to add "sparkle" to her dress.  Dies are a mix of La-La Land Crafts, Tim Holtz, and My Favorite Things Stamps.

The card layout is this week's Sketch Saturday, week #525.

Krista is Back!!!

Hello!  I was so excited to see that Krista Smith started a Patreon and is offering exclusive character art for download to her patrons!  I am one of her biggest fans and this is amazing news!  While I have continued to use her images from my beloved collection of digis, I missed there being new images available!  This will satisfy all her fans who love to color her art as there are different tiers (ranging from $5-$25) you can sign up to pledge per month.  The exclusive rewards vary for each tier so you decide what you want and what works best for you!  If you want to check it out and/or sign up, visit her page HERE!

I have a backlog of cards made with her images that need to be blogged.  My design teams tend to keep me so busy that I put off blogging the other things I create.  I thought I should probably start trying to rectify that!  I needed a baby card for an order for a baby shower.  This is what I came up with.  I cropped and colored one of Krista's images from my stash.  This gorgeous momma-to-be is called New Love.  Can I just say...?  OMG, THAT HAIR!  It was a little daunting at first but I was really pleased with how it turned out!  This card was for a first time mom having a "rainbow" baby (a full-term pregnancy after a miscarriage) so I added the rainbow but it also works well for a regular baby shower as well.  The stitched rainbow die is from My Favorite Things Stamps.  The image is cut and matted with Spellbinders Nestabilities.  All the other dies are La-La Land Crafts.  I dry embossed the background panel for some added texture.  The word baby is a chipboard sentiment from Make It Crafty.

I also made a baby boy version, changing my colors and using a SugarPea Designs die cut to make the baby part of the sentiment.

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Mermaid Bath

Hi!  I can't believe we're into August already!  It feels like Summer just began but in a few weeks it will be back to school and planning for Halloween!  Before that, though, I intend to get some vacation time in!  I plan to relax!  Maybe even soak my cares away!  Like the gorgeous Mermaid Bath image from Some Odd Girl that I have used for today's design team inspiration project!

She is colored with Copics and I had added some gel pen to her tail and seaweed green hair for a bit of sparkle.  The sentiment is from the August 2017 Club La-La Land Crafts kit.  I used a couple LLLC dies as well plus one from Simon Says Stamp and an embossing folder from my stash (the name of which has long since been forgotten).

The layout is based on the Sketch Saturday challenge #524.
