Royal

~ sproatmeyer ~ 9 Comments

Are you ready for some Royal Treatment today?  He he he.  Some Odd Girl is releasing two Nouveau Girls this week and we’re starting off with a beaut who can be the queen of anything.  Meet Royal…

 

The images I used are Royal from Some Odd Girl and Chandelier from Stampavie in the background.  Then on the post-it notepad I used the accessory stamps from Royal for the sentiment and crown.  Yep, that crown is seperate from the image so it’s going to come in handy!

 

If you are a regular Follower then you’ve seen this type of project before and know it’s for a special Teacher.  It’s the fourth and final one I’ve been working on… unbeknownst to the Teachers, they were suppose to be Valentine’s gifts but sometimes my creative process is a bit slow.  However, at least I have them finished before Teacher Appreciation week and can now start working on those!

 

These cute post-it note holders are great for the desk and they’ve been so fun to create.  The plastic picture frames were found at the local general store and the HUG ticket was found at Oriental Trading Co.  They’ve been fun to use as incentive for my kids to earn rewards with and I’ve been able to snatch a few here an there.  After all, I can earn tickets too, right?!  LOL

 

There are some gorgeous samples at the SOG Blog that you don’t want to miss out on so make sure to head on over there next.  Then mark your calendars and come back again tomorrow morning to meet the second Nouveau Gril because I have an exciting project to show off!

Grow

~ sproatmeyer ~ 24 Comments

Today is my day to show off a project over at the Some Odd Girl Blog and I’ve got a fun project to share using one of the Nouveau Girls from Some Odd Girl… Grow! Check it out…


I’ve had four cubes for the longest time and was going to do decorate something with the word “READ” for the bookshelf. However, when I was cleaning, I had place them next to a spinner I had stamps and well, one thing led to another and I sacrificed one of the reading cubes to make this block.


I thought this would be a great teacher gift (yes, I need lots of those!) and so I chose to use the image Grow from Some Odd Girl because of the apple. I also used the flowers from Believe, another of the Nouveau Girls from Some Odd Girl. The other stamps on this block that I used are Stylized Notables 1 and coordinating die from Whimsy plus the N1 Fancy Frame chipboard from Make it Crafty. The top of the block uses Take a Spin from Stampin’ Up and on two of the side I used the Chandelier from Stampavie in the background.

Here are the five decorated sides going around the block…


The paper I used is from My Mind’s Eye (Howdy Doody) and I started the block by glueing down a square on each of the sides. Then I sanded down the edges/corners so the paper wasn’t sticking out (but next time i’ll just cut it a bit smaller for the same effect) and then used brown ink to smudge around the edges. After that, each side it was like decorating a tiny card or small tag!


There are a few metal dies I used including two news ones I got this week from Memory Box… Modern Landscape Border and Chloe Stem. It was also fun to dig out the Notebook Edge and Flat-Bottom Clouds from My Favorite Things.

I think that’s about all the details on the block. 😀 I hope you enjoyed it and thanks so much for stopping by and for your wonderful comments. *Hugs

Tweet Kaylee & Spring Pup

~ sproatmeyer ~ 25 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve done a full scene card and the new releases at Some Odd Girl gave me a little inspiration! Plus getting the whole card colored sure makes putting it together a cinch! LOL Here’s what I made…


The images I used are Tweet Kaylee and Spring Pup from Some Odd Girl (both new releases for this week) and I’ve combined them with Open Window, Pebblestone Patch and bricks from Paris Building Elements by Make it Crafty. As embellishments, I also used Mini Dragonflies chippes from Make it Crafty.


I colored Spring Pup to mostly look like my dog. My dog is probably a mutt but mainly has pinscher markings with a little white on the chest. She’s a tiny dog and super friendly so not really the scary kind of pinscher. LOL She was adopted last year so who knows what her background story is.


Tweet Kaylee fit perfectly in the window and it looks like she is leaning out to say good morning to the little bird. Reminded me a little of Snow White so I had to color her heir black with a little bit of a turquoise twist.


Thanks for dropping by and make sure you check out all the other awesome creations by the DT over on the SOG Blog! They’re fantastic! 😀

Little Loves (Tia Version)

~ sproatmeyer ~ 9 Comments

Are you ready for some new releases at Some Odd Girl? I couldn’t resit jumping in on this release as these digis are so cute! The first ones being released are Little Loves (Tia Version) and Little Loves (Tobie Version) which are perfect for mother’s, teacher, aunts and even grandmas. 😀


For my project I used Little Loves (Tia Version) and made another post-it notepad holder as a teacher gift. I have four total to make so only one more to go! These have been great teacher gifts and the plastic picture frame I’ve put it in is only a $1 or $2. The hardest part was keeping the project flat so it would fit inside. 😀 But they look great on the desk and hardly take up any room.


The decorative papers are Sincerely by Trinity Papers Arts and I had the hardest time matching that pink this time. (I should have written down my numbers from last time!) But I ended up going through almost every shade of RV on top of my reds to try and correct it…. then after realizing it isn’t changing colors anymore, I had to give up! LOL But in real life the colors are close enough to call it good. LOL


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ve been inspired by the project, colors or something. 😀 Don’t forget to head on over to the SOG Blog for more inspiration and have a great Monday!

Foxy

~ sproatmeyer ~ 6 Comments

It’s a new challenge over at Some Odd Girls and this month we have a color combo for you! It’s a fun one too – anything with browns and pinks is fun. 😀 Be sure to head on over to the SOG Blog and check out all the other DT inspiration!


The image I used is Foxy from Some Odd Girl. Now I know foxes are normally red but brown foxes do exist and I wanted to give this cutie and new look. 😀 So I reached for my E40s and colored away.


For my project I created a tag and I decided to bring out some fabric to add to the mix. Then I used a Whimsy tag and layered it with a Make it Crafty chippies, painted in black. For the embellishments I sprinkled some dragonflies and gems and finished it off with ribbon. I’m getting a nice stash of tags and can’t wait to start using them on gifts.


As a final project, I wanted to share a project from my oldest daughter. She took one look at me stamping Foxy and exclaimed that she wanted one too! Plus she wanted me to stamp a few other stamps that were hanging around on my desk. 😀 Here’s her project and she even got to use my Copic markers – ah, what a day!

Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspiration and thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

Dancer

I have a fun project to bring you today featuring Some Odd Girl! Our latest incentive at our house is to earn tickets which can be spent on endless screen time… well, not quite endless but 3 tickets at a time. I only wish I could say my house was spotless because they’re trying to earn more tickets than their sisters, but noooo. However, it was a good excuse to make a ticket holder. LOL


This project uses one of the Nouveau Girls, Dancer from Some Odd Girl, which is perfect for my daughter’s personality. She asked me to color it like her and make sure she was “modest” – so I gave her blonde hair, brown eyes, and made the top into a blouse (hiding her belly button with a polkadot). LOL She loves it! 😀


After decorating the front, we glued magnets on the back and then placed it on the refrigerator. Even though it isn’t bursting with tickets, I can at least say it looks lovely on fridge. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!
