Some Odd Girl - June 1st sneak peak!

Hi everyone! Today is release day for Some Odd Girl and are there some GREAT new images out!  There are a total of six new images, all with a summer theme.  Head over to the Some Odd Girl store to check them out!  Oh, and there's also a new super fun freebie for you to grab while you're there.

Here's a sneak peak of my card for the upcoming SOG Challenge:

Some Odd Girl's Challenge #4 - The 80's!

We have a new challenge for you at the Some Odd Girl blog!

This time around, the ODDgirls are asking you to create something with an 80's feel.  Hm, I tried the best I could, but I really don't remember much of the 80's, lol.  I think the zebra print and multi-colored hair were  big hits, though :)  For my card, I've used the SOG image Mae as Alice Pose.  This card fits the challenge at Incy Wincy Designs (Anything Goes) and Crazy 4 Challenges (Sketch).

Make sure to head over to the blog to play along in the challenge and to see all the wonderful creations by the rest of the talented design team!

A flowery type of day

I guess it's just a flowery day of creations for me :)  This time I'm sharing a Some Odd Girl creation using A Mae Day.  I think that's such a clever name!  I Stickled the flowers, but it didn't photograph very well, sorry about that!  Our No DP challenge is still going on at the Some Odd Girl Blog so make sure to head over there and add in your entry.

A flowery Mae

Yes, another card.  Boy, I really gotta start making different things!  I've been wanting to get the Martha Stewart scoring board since it's half the cost of the ScorPal, but I can't find it at the Michael's around where I live.  Until then, I hope you don't get tired of my cards!

Today I've used a new Some Odd Girl image that will be released on April 20.  This image is called Mae as Alice Pose!  She's just lovely, isn't she?  I'll be sharing another image next week using a robot that I absolutely adore.  Yeah, there goes my thing for robots again!  The challenge at the SOG blog is still running and if you join in on our sketch challenge, you'll get a chance to win an image from the Some Odd Girl store.  You do not have to use an SOG image, but if you do, you will be entered twice!

What is is about robots that just melt your heart?  Maybe it's because they're not really supposed to have a heart? I'm really not sure why we love them, but I know why I love THIS digi - he's just so darn cute!  His little bent antenna is just the cherry on top!

Some Odd Girl's First Challenge!

What evokes the feeling of spring more than a puppy, flowers, smiling clouds, and a happy little girl? I can't think of anything, can you?  Well, maybe a bunny here and there, but you'll have to visit another ODDgirl to see the new bunny images ;)

Today is our first challenge at the Some Odd Girl Blog!  And of course, we've got a super fun challenge for you: rainbow.  Take that as you will - you can either have a rainbow in your creation or use all the colors of the rainbow.  I've done both today; well, I've used at least most of the colors of the rainbow :)

I loved playing around with putting together this little scene.  All the images just work so well together!  The Sunflowers, Rainbow, and lil Puppy Walkies images are all from the latest release so you can grab them now!  I've also used Happy Angel Kaylee on this card.  Make sure to stop by the Some Odd Girl blog to play along in our first challenge! We can't wait to see what you create :)

Some Odd Girl - Happy Angel Kaylee

I love when Mondays pass by so quickly!

Today I have a Some Odd Girl creation to share with you.  I've used Happy Angel Kaylee and I tried to play around with adding some blue highlights in her hair.  What do you think? Do you think the hairdresser deserved a good tip??

These images are just so darn adorable and guess what? There will be some new images coming out on March 23.  The Happy Angel Kaylee image that I used on this card is available now at the store here, but in the coming weeks, I'll be using some of the new releases images.  Stay tuned!

For this card, I've used the sketch from Our Creative Corner.  This card also fits the challenge at Crafty Carmakers Challenge #16 A Feminine Celebration and Stampin' B's Challenge #48 Flowers and Buttons.

Thanks for looking and for your lovely comments!

Some Odd Girl DT!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I just have a quick announcement and a card to share before I delve into work.

I'm an ODD girl!

I was invited to join the Some Odd Girl Design Team and I graciously accepted.  How can I not?  Just look at the sweet images that Kristy has on the SOG site! For this card, I've used Ellie - isn't she adorable?  I love her little bow.  I'm entering this card into two challenges: CPS Sketch #156 and Dare You To Digi Stamp Challenge #32 Pearls.
