Happy Monday! Its a brand new week and a brand new theme at Paper Issues! This time the theme for our Linky Party is a "Pocket Full of Sunshine" and its sponsored by the lovely Martha from Panda Eight Designs. Martha creates some awesome flair, like the one I used on my LO so you'll definitely want to be entered this time around. For my LO I knew I wanted to use this pic and flair together...

This week I haven't gotten the chance to be to artsy. I have spent a lot of time getting all my ducks in a row for the term starting at Some Odd Girl next week Tuesday. You wouldn't believe how many little things that need to fall in place to make that run smooth! But once its all setup it's a pretty much a breeze so there's that to look forward to. I did get get a little time to sit down and...

Today I'm part of a special hop with the girls of StampNation. Why you ask? 2 reasons! First, I am sponsoring the StampNation Challenge this month where the winner can choose a Some Odd Girl stamp set or 3 digi stamps of their choice. This is my project for the awesome sketch... I used the Clear Stamp Fairy in Flight from Some Odd Girl and colored her with Copic Markers. I think used...

Every night before bed I have to read at least a little bit in my book. Its one of the only things that turns my brain off for the night, reading is almost my nightly zen time. Reading is a well loved thing in our house and this Digital Stamp from Some Odd Girl, Reading Tia, is based on a sight I see of my daughter often. Except the glasses, this is very much her.She's starting to pick up...

Spring is finally springing here in Michigan and I'm working on digital stamps for April, & I drew this one up and its called grandma's garden. I didn't really think about it at the time, but this image really reminds me of my own grandmother. She used to keep these huge expansive gardens that my grandfather would help her tend but they were basically her creations. I could just go sit in...

We're going to take it in small steps so I hope you'll join me and follow along... If you're new to coloring, Light Source might not be a term you're familiar with... Light Source...

Today I have a glittery card, featuring the Digital Stamp Angel Mae from Some Odd Girl, to share that I made the use of every last bit of my Swag Bag from Paper Issues. There's also a new Linky Party kickin off over there and the theme is "Count Your Lucky Stars." This card seemed a great fit! Now you might think the die cut circles behind the image are vellum... but you'd be wrong. When I...
