Sketching with the Cameo onto fabric {samantha walker}

Any blog post that starts off with this handsome face has to be a good one, right?! But I'm pretty biased.

Today on the Samantha Walker blog I'm sharing the step-by-step directions on how to sketch onto fabric and then cut that design using the Cameo. 

I'm not going to give it all away over here, but I can tell you that it starts with the design being sketched onto the fabric…

…and then ends here with a nice, stitched-up final product. For all of the instructions and more info, visit the SW blog today.  

And because he is too cute not to share this adorable shot… the boy again — looking dapper.

Thanks for visiting here today to see my sketched and stitched Cameo project. 

30 Days {my day}

I am so happy to be celebrating Kristy's birthday month with her, and 30 Days of fun tips, tricks and guests. Today is my day to post to the odd girl blog. I would love it if you could stop on over and see what I made.

OK ... here's a sneak just so you can see what you're getting yourself into. My project is printing on fabric using freezer paper, digital stamps and an ink jet printer. 

Hope to see you stop by http://www.theoddgirl.com/ during the next 30 days for all the fun—including some giveaway chances! And thanks for visiting my blog today. 

Etsy shop peeks

I am so excited about the new items in my shop. I am continuing to experiment with my Ruffled Blooms—finding new patterns and colors to incorporate with the lace and layering.

These two new ones are both larger yet, at nearly 4" in diameter. Such fun statement pieces for the fall, don't you think? You can pin them on a scarf or coat, add them to a bag or purse—so many ideas!

Ruffled Bloom Flower Pin - Polkadot

Ruffled Bloom Flower Pin - Grey and Yellow

(I wear one of these ones myself! Love it!)

And another new item: Brad & Button Packs. I am so excited to be making these. They consist of handmade fabric brads and coordinating buttons. And they look so dang cute! I really hope they catch on in the shop, because I have plans for so many other varieties.

I use designer fabrics from the local quilt shop, so the fabric is great quality and the most current patterns and designs.

The hair accessories area of the shop was also updated with new bobby pins, too. Take a peek at the new styles!


Thanks for stopping in today to see what I've been up to. Hopefully something here inspires you! Have a great weekend!

New Doilie Blooms {and a card}

Hello there, friends! I am trying to get back into the swing of blogging after my week away. Today I wanted to show you the new doilie blooms listed in the shop last night. Fabulous colors, right?!




As of last night, my last two Ruffled Blooms were sold, but no worries! I have 3 more to list within the next few days. And ... I have started making them with some fabulous colors and patterns. Here's a sneak of what you can expect to see from me soon. :) I just love that red one and the yellow with gray.


And, because I don't want to leave the scrapbooking and card making completely behind, here's a card I was just messing around with. I snagged this Unity stamp from Two Peas in a Bucket and had to make something. It's available in the Etsy shop as well.


Ok, folks! That's it for today. If I can manage a decent picture, I'll have a Sketchy Thursdays page for you tomorrow (PS: Did you apply for the DT Call yet?). My camera does not like the recently overcast skies we've had this week.

Thanks for stopping by here today!
