Happy Flowers

I love the color combo from today's Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge. For my card I used the bottoms of OBP Cupcake Row for my flower pots. I used my new Fiskars Threading Water border punch that I ordered from Paper Garden Projects. The store is run Cathrine from the OBP Design Team. Great selection, great service.

Stamps: justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet Cupcake Row and Happy Birthday With Sprinkles on Top

I'm still playing with Daisy D's Wonderland stuff. I made this card using the double sided Wonderland papers designed by the talented Stephanie Dosreis. I paper pieced the petals of, you guessed it, justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet's Flora Hugabundous.

A little about my day today; I did 4 presentations at my niece's career day at school. I tried to convince 80 first graders that my job is cooler than a firefighter, policeman or nurse. I resorted to dancing and giving away cool mesh bags with the YMCA logo. I think my plan worked. :)

More Flowers

This is another card that I made using justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet's June Newsletter Sketch for my layout. Love that black with light blue polka dot paper? Actually, it was the backing to some Making Memories embellishments that Kim gave me. It was too cute not to recycle.

Stamps: OBP Flora Hugabundous

Happy Birthday JJ OBP

As of today, justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet is two years old. It's a pretty exciting time too: New images, new website look, new wiki, new Design Team, becoming a Splitcoast Member Company and lots more fun things planned for our future. Anyways, Happy Birthday!

Stamps: OBP Frosting Only, Happy Birthday with sprinkles on top. Paper: Basic Grey. I made the bottom detail with my new Fiskars Threading Water Punch. Chipboard 2 with Cotton Candy Stickles.

A Sketch and a Coupon

A new month means a new justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet newsletter sketch. But the newsletter has lots more this month including an article from Diane giving some great tips for using stamps and paper piecing, card samples from the OBP Design Team, lots of announcements and a 20% off coupon.

To subscribe to the monthly newsletter, email johanna at mailto:johanna@justjohanna.com and tell her you want to be added to the list.

I used a lot of paper and ribbon scraps for this card along with OBP Thank You and Lacy Border.

New Member Company on Splitcoast

Guess what company is the newest SCS member company. It's Odd Bird Planet (formerly known as justjohanna.) The announcement was made this afternoon and already we've received the warmest welcome from all the SCS members. Check into the new Odd Bird Planet SCS Forum for some fun updates.

And, speaking of SCS, I made a card for the SCS Featured Stamper Challenge today. I cased a beautiful card from Maren.

I followed Maren's layout and color scheme but used some different patterned papers from Bo Bunny (big polka dots), unknown scrap (green polka dots)and the Paper Source (red check) and I used one of the strawberries from justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet "Strawberry Row" and "Lacy Circle Medium."

The tan textured cardstock and the red ribbon is from my stash. I cut the ribbon in half lengthwise to make it the width I wanted.
