Some Odd Addiction

I made a card last night that I just wanted to quickly share.

I saw this card on the internet on 'The Odd Girl' (creator of 'Some Odd Girl' stamps) and my jaw dropped to the ground then I reached for my dusty Copics. Looks nowhere NEAR as good as the muse, but I'm happy with it. I've come to realise that being creative with cards just isn't my strong point, but I know they are appreciated by the recipients, and that's what matters!! haha.

Here's my CASE:




And a little close up of the bling (Jane Vine and Rhinestones in the colour Wine, from Flourish with a Bling).




And... if you REALLY love that stamp you can actually have it by instant download by purchasing it here at Some Odd Girl.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Check out what some of the other FWAB team did with their sketchy ideas!

And here's what I created for this challenge. Some of the happiest pictures I've taken are thanks to my iPod.









And did you notice the little stars? I have so many swirls that need a good use so I whipped out the Jo Sonia's texture paste and got gluing.

I've used the Grace Pearl Flourish in Mango and the *NEW* Kate's Corner Flourish from Flourish with a Bling. *sigh*

Creative Scrappers Sketch 210

Happy Sunday everyone! Did your weekend go quickly? I hope you packed it full of wonderful memories. :)

Today I've scrapped one of my fave photo's from this year - a typical Sunday morning around our house (except this weekend of course as mummy is still sporting a whopper of a cold - sorry kids, it's toast today) consists of pancakes for breakfast - it never gets old - and, if I can convince everyone, a big dose of berries on top. Covered in syrup. A spoon full of sugar, as Mary Poppins once said.

I'm playing along with another fantastic sketch from Creative Scrappers - make sure you check out the reveal over at the CS Blog - I love seeing how each team member interprets the sketches each week. And you are welcome to play along too by submitting your creation here.

Here's my layout (complete with bed-hair)...




Here's the sketch...




And some close ups, of course.








Shopping, anyone?

Creative Scrappers Sketch 208

Hey there!

It's the reveal of sketch 208 from Creative Scrappers - this has got to be one of my fave sketches to date! How many possibilities are there!? I took it head on and followed the sketch to the letter this week and I hope you'll play along too by creating a page and submitting it here at Creative Scrappers.

For those of you that haven't used sketch inspiration before it's really simple - grab some paper, some photo's and lay them out on your page to kinda look like the sketch - the rest will follow!  All the circles, blips and blops can be anything - rolled up roses, mist, glitter, a hundred punched butterflies - you make the rules!

Add embellishments, rubons, rip out those chipboard doo-dots you bought last year, paint, scrunch, crimp and distress - you know how it goes. Before you know it you'll have paper and inspiration flying around your craft space and a nearly-finished layout you didn't think you would make today!

Here's the sketch... (you know you want to!)









Here's my layout...






Here's some close ups... my Silhouette (Cutting Machine) turns 1 this week!






Here's the list...
