Even being sick as “a rat… a rat who ate too much cheese” like my son said when he had this stomach thing first I still managed to get 3 sketches this week. 

Barely.

On Sunday I made myself my schedule for the week and Monday – Wednesday were completely lost and yesterday I spent doing something (slowly doing something I might add) that needed to be mailed asap.

So here I am today.

Let’s see how much of that list I can get done! Its a personal challenge :) I’m not 100% but better to try than not.

What did you do this week?

Hi everyone! just a quick heads up, I’ve taken sick with a stomach virus so there won’t be the Live Color Along tonight. The schedule is just going to be pushed back a week so next week at 8pm I’ll be coloring Peacock Kaylee. 

Sorry about having to push it back and I’ll see you next week!

Valentine's Day Layout by Kristy Dalman

Today is a new theme over at Paper Issues, let’s have a crafting a{flair}, sponsored by PI girls Martha with her shop Panda Eight Designs. She has some gorgeous flair! 

The theme title was perfect for the layout I wanted to do, about valentine’s day with my kids and hubs this year. We decided to have breakfast for dinner, a treat around here, and I made heart shaped pancakes. The kiddos thought it was so super cool! I loved that they appreciated the effort. DH made a homemade pancake batter with cinnamon and vanilla that was just too yummy  :wave:

valentine-treat-by-Kristy-Dalman

I just got Paper Issues box (#cassiemail!) in and was so totally inspired! I used some new and some old(er) stuff.

new… Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm papers

old(er)… Crate Paper On Trend stickers

new… Crate Paper Maggie Holmes papers

old… AC flair

You get the idea :) I even used a Some Odd Girl sentiment on the page with the Neon blue Hero Arts ink… I’ve had it but hadn’t used it as I thought it would be darker. I was pleasantly surprised on the color! You’ll be seeing that alot now.

Hop over and link up! And if you go to the PI Shop for some goodies use my DT member code of ODDGIRL for 20% off your order. She’s got a ton of new stuff in that you’ll want too.

Welcome to my stop on the Timelessly Odd Hop :DD

I’m geeked to be apart of this fun co-Blog Hop with the Odd Girls and the Twine-istas! Stacy has such fun twine colors (an is pretty awesome herself) so teaming up was just a treat!

twine-card

For my stop on the hop I got to use the Firecracker Twine from Timeless Twine(*swoon* on that color combo) and I paired it with a sentiment from the Everyday Smiles sentiment set from Some Odd Girl.

The burst of twine is kinda like the heart overflowing… or that’s my reasoning and I’m sticking with it  :3

Our hop runs now through Sunday, March 17th at midnight EST, so you have plenty of time to make your way around the circuit and with THREE gorgeous spools of Timeless Twine and one $25 gift certificate to Some Odd Girl up for grabs you definitely want to.

Here’s the hop roll just in case you didn’t start from the beginning…

Some sketches from late week. I’m still trying to force Spring by drawing and coloring spring things like cute baby animals. 

HURRY SPRING.

I like the sun.

Its much nicer than snow and dreariness.

Tobie

Look! I made 2 cards this week lol. I have one more for Friday :)  

Today the feature is the digital stamp Boy’s Best Friend Tobie. I drew this on the airplane back from CHA Winter last year (believe it or not) and I lost it in a sketch book for a long time. Probably bc of all the dramamine for motion sickness I had taken. I’m not a great rider of any transportation. 

tobie-close-up

This card came together super fast, which was weird. Everything, except the washi tape, came out of my scrap box. I need a bunch more of that yellow people paper *sigh* I think that’s the last of it too. 

Hop over to the blog to see Rachel’s card for today too. Its SUPER CUTE!

happy-gwen-card

Its a new digital release day at Some Odd Girl! On the Some Odd Girl blog we are featuring the new Happy Gwen digital stamp today and I’m geeked I finally got some crafty time (and a smidge of mojo) and got a card made :DD

its a winter miracle!

happy-gwen

This card as a decidedly shabby chic look too it to me and I don’t know how that happened, that’s not my usual style, but there it is. I kept things more light and texturey than bold colors which is my more normal go to. It has October Afternoon Paper, BG flowers and I stamped the sentiment with Memento. Gwen herself was colored with copics.

I hope you’ll stop by the blog and leave a comment to win this sweet girl and see the other creations today.
