Opinions please!

by Kristy on March 3, 2011

Yesterday I worked on a sample for something I thought of and am thinking of having in my Etsy shop. I’d love your opinions on it, just be nice if you criticize :) Anyway, I like to make things that are cute and useful and I’ve been going out shopping with a pad of post it notes as my list so my brain came up with this during the indie biz brain storm the other night…

Sorry about the rough pics :) Its to go with you, in your purse or whatnot. The orange pocket, I might redo how that is attatched, is to hold a 4×6 pad of scratch paper. Slide the cardboard bit into the pocket portion and the paper sits on top. Then the elastic for two pens or what not, and a pocket with a snap closure and scalloped felt accent. You could use it for your coupons with your grocery list or to jot down ideas and such on the go. Then it closes on itself like a book. So what do you think? The size of the whole thing laid out is 9×7. Do you think the 4×6 paper is better than the other choice of 3×5? Anything else you think of when you look at it? Remember its my first sample attempt :)
Can you tell my brain is swirling with ideas lately? :D

Bee-utiful day and a question for you!

by Kristy on March 2, 2011

This is Bee Tia from yesterday’s Some Odd Girl March 1st Spring Release :) I seriously couldn’t be a spring release with out a buzzy bee! I used Sass Indie Girl papers, AC thickers and Jenni Bowlin letters, MM brads and Kaiser Craft flowers. Of course Tia is colored with copics.
Skin: YR000, YR00, E11, R02
Hair: E50, E51, E53, YR14
Clothes: N1, N3, N5, N7, Y00, Y02, Y04
On other fronts, I’ve got an idea in my head (these things get stuck there lol) to do a Copic Coloring E-Course. If there are any copic newbies or regular users who have questions or techniques they’d like to see answered/shown please either email me, Kristy@someoddgirl.com or leave them in the comments below. Any comments are always welcome!

We’ll see :) The pics above are from my workbook for Indie Biz 3.0, a class I’m taking that starts tomorrow. The big Kaylee head is from the 52 Week Project pic I took for Some Odd Girl’s one year anny. She had been chillin above our whiteboard and now resides on my notebook. I’ve already met some amazing people thru the student lounge and twitter and hope to get to know them better as the course goes on. You can still sign up and get all the deets from Leigh-Ann’s blog HERE. I’m trying today to get all my ducks in a row for some more new Etsy stuff and tomorrow’s Some Odd Girl release. So cya then!

Workin hard today!

by Kristy on February 25, 2011

I might have some more sneaks for Tuesday’s Some Odd Girl March 1st Digi release but today I’m spending a lot of time workin on *trying to stay awake, thanks cold medicine* and uploading items to the design shop and etsy :) I’ve got 5 things up in my Etsy and in the next couple days you can see what’s going to be up at the Design Site. We just need to finish menus and some odds and ends. SO CLOSE its killing me! lol But anyway I have to take a break and eat (and try not to nod in my meal) but I have to share some of the cute in my Etsy that’s available…

I’ve got a couple more of…. well everything in the works :) So keep an eye out. I think the Etsy keeps me from getting burned out on the stamps, both crafty but different. oh… and I apparently have a thing for toast lol. No idea why, it just happened lol. I haven’t had anything in my Esty since December and I don’t know why but the act of putting more things in the shop is making me nervous. Like when you get those lil butterflies in your stomach before doing something… I don’t get that so much with the Digi’s, a little bit when I was picking what designs to send for production, but this is different. Like I’m going on stage or something. Maybe you crafty peeps can explain it. OH, its like when I show my drawings to people. I want to hold it up briefly with a nervie giggle and then snatch it back. Who knows…
Hope you all have a crafty fun weekend! maybe more peeks later if I can get all the uploads done :)

Crop Day!

by Kristy on February 18, 2011

I’m off in a lil bit to crop with my friend Rachel for the day YAY! I’m trying to decide if I want to make cards or scrapbook? Hmmmm… while I ponder that some more I wanted to share this simply because I’m so dang excited about it

Yeah, the masking tape is not the classiest look in the world but I’m still figuring that part out LOL I MEAN to show you my photo set up! I got a new (2 actually) cabinets yesterday from the Home Depot closing near me so I finally have a place to do some product shots and more storage! YAY! But I got these specific Daylight bulb that I will be stopping to grab some extras bc these are just FAB. I shot pics at 10pm and you’d think it was happy middle of the day time. 
I seriously barely did anything to this pic at all! How awesome! Now I can get all the product shots I need and get the design site and my poor Esty back up and running :)
Have a fabulous day peeps!
