Happy Birthday Kim!!!

Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to YOU... HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear KIM! Happy Birthday to YOU!!!! and many more......

so you've guessed it right! Today is my partner in crime's (aka co-owner of Lollipop Crafts) special day!! i'm very sure you all know her, seen her creations, admire her work and the like, so why not help me WISH HER THE BEST DAY EVER!!! head on over to her blog and show her some love... =D
on my card for Kim, i used Kimono Kaylee, from Some Odd Girl.... oooh, i'm addicted to these lovelies... and i NEEDED this image to be available in my collection... hehe! i splurged a bit on Imaginisce Garden Party papers because it's so hard to find pretty asian themed papers these days to match a lot of my asian theme images... glad i did because it went well with Kimono Kaylee...

i always admire Kim's pink and blue color combos on her creations so i CASE-d her a bit on this one... used the sketch challenge at Some Odd Girl Stamp blog... i just flipped it a bit to fit my vision =D... the "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from Stampettes and the large sakura (cherry blossom) flowers are from Mari and Me... ooh, and the border punch is a new toy i bought over the weekend (got a good deal)... i think it was called MS seashell border?!? i may be wrong and the box is long gone, ripped up and in the trash... LOL.... just a hint of embellies was added too to finish off the card...

i hope you like it Kim!! and even more so, i HOPE you have a VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY!!!! you deserve it girly!! CHEERS to you, wishing you a wonderful day!! =D

Thanks for popping in friends!! please go and wish Kim a Happy Birthday too! and stop by the LC blog to see all the other beautiful creations from the team in honor of this special occasion!!

That's ODD! i've been bitten!!

by the Some Odd Girl bug!!! Yup... i did... is that odd?!? of course not!

Happy September friends!! are you all ready for fall?!?

my awesome friend Amy is part of the DT at Some Odd Girl, and well, i just LOVE her creations with these digis/stamps... so one day this week i went exploring and checked out the site... and yup, the love bug came my way and i bought my FIRST digi from them... totally hard to do since there are SO many fabulous images... to test out the waters i bought one digi and i think i'll be going back for a few more....

anyway, there's a bi-weekly challenge that happens on the Some Odd Girl blog and this week is to Paper Piece! i do love me some paper piecing but i've never done it with a digi... until now...

i bought digi Dress Kaylee... isn't she cute!! it was so hard to choose one, i'm telling you that right now, i think i had 5 in my cart before i settled... and for my first, i think i made a good choice... i paper peiced Kaylee's hat top and bottom of her dress with 3bugsinarug's Chloe line... love the colors... soft and sweet! i used the same print from paper piecing as my first layer on the card... the rest of the papers are also from the same line (scored me a great deal on these papers).... some ribbon and half pearls and Stampendous Happy Birthday completes this card... do you like?!?

eek! sorry the photo is a bit fuzzy!!

so go and check out the blog... you'll see the many fabulous creations from the DT... take a peek at the images available from Some Odd Girl and i you wanna see more, check out their site! not limited to these cutesy girls, but there's also a boy in there and some critters! maybe you'll get bitten by the bug too! hehe!
