Details: Its a simple layout of my daughters 1st dance recital picture. I thought that this picture would look great with this Disney paper. The ticket from the show did not match the layout. I stickled the dressed on the princess's. Bling mesh around the dance poem.

Some Odd Girl is having a guest DT call

Hellooooooooo
I found out some amazing news on Monday.
Drum roll please..........
........................................................
.................................................................................
................................................................................................
Some Odd Girl is having a mini DT call and a guest DT call.
YAY
Now I'm sure they are going to get a ton of applications, but I have to be confidant in the talents and abilities that I have been blessed with and my love for stamping and Some Odd Girl products. Therefore I'm applying for both.
 
 I would make a great guest DT member because I have finally embrace the Odd Girl in me. I have to be honest I've always when bursting with creativity, a bubbly personality, and smiles. In high school is came out in the form of musical theater and after college it came out in the form of paper crafting. Now don't get me wrong my family and close friends have ALWAYS supported my craft, but I often thought I was different because of my likes and interests didn't often match the people around me.
I've always loved being creative, but it took a while for me say that I'm just some odd girl and that's OK.
Once I did that I found a ton of amazing crafters that I talk to, learn from and have bonded with.
        And when my passion for this craft grew, so did my skills.
So I feel that I'd make an awesome Guest DT/DT member for Some Odd Girl
 
Now here are my project's using Some Old Girl digi stamps.
All images are colored with Copic markers.
 
Hope you like what you see.
 
Thanks for stopping by and remember to follow your dreams and passions.
