This is Barbara bringing you another teacher’s projecting using one of the stunning Nouveau Girls… Renew! I love using real stamps because I can be posh about the paper I use – unfortunately, my printer is too picky about the paper it will accept when printing digi stamps so it’s always blissful to enjoy a good blending card stock. 
So this is one of the reasons why I love these Nouveau Girls so much – plus they’re a dream to color!! Anyway, back to my project…
The project I made today is a gift for a teacher which I call an A+ Grading Block and can be very helpful when grading papers! Really. All the teacher has to do is spin the dial on the top to figure out which grade to give to the students. LOL I thought it would be a fun desk decoration and even the students would love to come up and give it a spin, I’m sure. It was fun to make as well and was a lot like making five different tags.
I started off with a 3″x3″ wooden cube and covered each side with decorative paper. Then I used an inkpad to age the edges with a dark brown. I had made a similar one before using Grow but I needed at least one more so my girls would stop fighting over which one got to give it to their teacher. Luckily it was Teacher Appreciation week last week so they each of the teachers received a block with some goodies. They were a big hit with the teachers so I’m glad that they enjoyed them. Now I have two more cubes left and will have to come up with something new… any ideas?
Thanks for coming by and checking out my project. I hope you’ve been inspired and don’t forget about the fun festivities coming up with weekend on our Facebook Page – it’s going to be a smashing fun day! There is a challenge that you can get working on right now too – so you can play along Saturday – join us HERE!!
Good Morning ODDies…Annette here today to share with you a special feature using the fabulous Alice Mae. I am so excited to share with you today what I like to call my Inspirational cards. I think we all need a little inspiration in the morning and why not have it on some cute little cards. I also like to give these as gifts. You can put anything on them. I always put Bible verses on mine but you can put famous quotes or maybe poems you like to read. I think they would also be fun as learning tools for kids. The possibilities are endless.
First I colored all the images and I decided to go with a solid color theme.
Next I cut out each of the Designer paper background.
I used the Echo Park Paper Co. Dots & Stripes.
I then chose what verses that I wanted to use for inspiration.
I typed them up in pages and printed them out.
I now have everything to go ahead and assemble.
Now add a little ribbon and you know have this fun collection of inspirational cards.
I want to thank you today for stopping by today and letting me share this featured project with you. I hope that I have giving you some inspiration today to start your next project. You can find the fabulous Alice Mae HERE.
Have A Crafty Day 
Anna Maria here, and today I want to show you a simple way to make the Princess Party little more fun. I have made place cards with the cute “Royal” stamp and colored the motif with Copics. Royal is part of our Nouveau Girl line at Some Odd Girl.
Every card has it’s own color scheme and the cards match the dresses on the motif. Different hair and eye color, maybe the same as the invited guests. ;-) I stamped the little crown (also from the Royal set) in the same color on the white background. Below you can see a close up on every card.
Brown hair and green dress
Blond hair and pink dress
Red hair and turquoise dress
I hope you liked them and thank you for stopping by today! Don’t forget on May 21st we have a new clear release that is perfect for those up and coming Summery Creations!!!!
