My First Some Odd Girl Stamp!

Hi! I really couldn't resist any longer and got my first Some Odd Girl clear stamp. I really had to to stop myself from buying them all and tell myself to buy in moderation. Hahaha. My order came so nicely packed in a white bag wrapped with twine and there was a piece of cardboard in it to keep it from getting all smashed. Well, I really loved how it came and the twine and the cardboard were too pretty to throw away so I decided to make another book! But this time for me. And the current challenge at Some Odd Girl is to Lift an Odd Girl. So I looked through all the DT's sites for some inspiration and it was hard to choose! In the end I had to go with Robin Mck's card.

I'll show the back first. I used the cardboard piece for the back of my book for stability.

This is the cover. The stamp is called Smell the Flowers Tia. I wrapped the blue twine around the front over the lace. I love that blue color! Clouds are from PTI.

Closer pic. Tia's dress, shoes, arm, hair clip, and flowers are all paper pieced. I really like paper piecing sometimes but I think I'm gonna need to buy some smaller scissors.

Thanks for reading and hope you had a great weekend!

This is an adorable book, Eva! I love the colors, papers and your beautiful coloring of that sweet some odd girl image! I've been into paper piecing quite a bit lately - like coloring, it tends to help relax me sometimes (mindless cutting, lol).

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
