Let's get a hoppin'

Aren't they just so sweet? With these two sets Kristy tried to bring a lot of options to the table with multiple sentiments 2 figures on each that are sized to work together and different elements that coordinate and work together OR separately. 

With the Warm Wishes Tia set there is a separate tag that you can use to label you stamped gifts, some cute and quirky snowflakes to use with the penguin or on their own. Deck the Halls Tobie has a candy cane sized to stuff your stockings, jingle bells that make great accents or could be strung on a line and much more! 

To give you some inspiration with all of these different pieces we are hopping with the Odd Girls who are sharing different takes with these new sets....And here is what I made...

 

I have coloured her with Copics and the papers are all Making Memories.

Enjoy and make sure to comment on every blog for a special surprise giveaway, you have thru Sunday at 11:59PM EST to get your comments in! Winner will be announced on Monday. Get to hoppin!

I'm Back...with a Some Odd Girl Sneak Peek!

Sorry for the long absense, after returning on 3rd from our vacation to Cornwall it has taken me a week to get the washing, ironing, cleaning and all the return to school stuff sorted. What with the new kitchen before we went away, the six weeks school holidays flashed past and I can hardly believe they are over for another year, and that Georgia is now in Year Five...where did the time go...

Anyway, I am back with a sneak peek to show you...Some Odd Girl have an amazing new Christmas Clear Stamp release and today is Day One....and the turn of Deer Mae...

I have used my Copics to colour her, using the following colours...

Clothing - R37/R39/E30/Y28

Parcels - Y28/YG01/YG03/R37/R39

The papers are all from the new My Minds Eye Lost & Found Christmas 6x6 pad, which I have layered with some Bazzill Kraft Cardstock. I used an old Magnolia script stamp to stamp behind Mae as I wanted her to blend in more with the papers. I also added some white gel pen glints to her eyes. The ribbon is some gorgeous velvet stuff that came in a kit from Costco many moons ago...and finally I have used it.

Be sure to hop on over to the Some Odd Girl Blog to see what the rest of the DT made, and remember to check all week as there will be giveaways and a new release being shown every day this week....and on Friday a Blog Hop...

Keep coming back this week as I have a few things to show including pics of my finished kitchen, my first ever Diaper (Nappy) Cake, and more cards...
