SOG Style Challenge 11: Scallops!

Hi all,

Welcome to another fortnight with the Some Odd Girl blog!  Every 2nd Thursday, we have a really fun challenge for you to play along with, and you have a chance to win some amazing digis from the SOG store!

This week, we have been challenged to use scallops on our projects!  Personally, I love this one - I have several scallop punches, and if you do too, this should be easy for you!

For my card, I chose to use the adorable Night Out Mae digi from Some Odd Girl!  She is sooooo fancy, and I wish I was going out with her :-)
My card base is Rose Red CS, followed by a Whisper White piece and a Basic Black mat.  I also cut 3 strips of Raspberry Tart DSP, and matted them with Basic Black CS.  The black pieces were punched with an SU scallop punch, and I added rhinestones to the scallops for a little extra *fancy*.

I printed Mae onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, and cut her out with Label Four Nesties.  I added some sponging on the inside of that stencil, and mounted her on with foam circles.

Make sure you head over to the SOG Blog to enter your own creation with scallops - you have 2 whole weeks!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Live It Up

Hi all,

Most important order of the day: have you SEEN the freebie over at Some Odd Girl yet?  If not, you need to go HERE and download it.  I am loving this month's choice - thanks Kristy!

I decided I had to play with the image, so here we go:

My card base is Baja Breeze CS, followed by a cloudy piece of SU Sweet Slumber DSP and a Basic Black mat.  I added a fun miscellaneous rub-on to that (got it at Michael's).  For the strip across the bottom, it is a red polka dot piece from the same DSP pack, with a black mat, which was punched with an SU scallop edge punch, and I added some yummy pearls to the scallops.  I wrapped some striped Baja Breeze ribbon around that layer.

I printed Star Bright Tia onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, cut her out, and mounted her on with foam circles.  I think she is ADORABLE!!!  You only have until the end of the month to get her for free!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Bellarific Friday: Anything Goes

Hi all,

It's been quite a while since I played along with a Bellarific Friday challenge - oh, how I've missed it! LOL
Things have just been soo busy, but I squeezed one in this time!  Over on the Bloggabella, Emily has issued an "anything goes" challenge, which I love!  Total creativity and freedom.

Here we go:

My card base is Soft Suede CS, and the newspaper clippings is from Rusty Pickle, with a Basic Black and a Whisper White mat.  I wrapped some Soft Suede polka dot ribbon around that base layer. 

I chose the ADORABLE Uphouse image, with sentiment - stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Bella's Bestest paper.  It was coloured in with Copics, and I added some shading with my Prismas.  I also added some sponging of Wheat ink around the edges, and matted that piece onto Basic Black and Whisper White.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto white CS, and cut the words out, and matted them each with black as well.

Well, that's it for today - hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

SOG Anniversary Week: 1 Digi, 3 Ways

Hi all,

Welcome back Oddies!  It is Anniversary week for Some Odd Girl this week, and there are all kinds of fun challenges happening over on the SOG blog! 

This is our first, and maybe toughest, challenge of the week :) Don't let that scare you away! It only SOUNDS tough but its really all about what people who love digis love about digis: versatility! We want you to take 1 digi and use it in 3 different ways. You could make 3 projects, using the digi differently on each OR 1 digi in 3 different ways on the same project. What do we mean by "different ways"? Well, the beauty of digis is that you can flip then, make them HUGE, make them tiny, make a background, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination! I know you all have great imaginations so use it!  Check out the SOG blog to see the other creations!

For today's challenge, I chose to use the fun and lovely Unicorn image! 

For my first card, I decided to print the Unicorn image onto Kraft CS twice.  I thought it would be neat to print and colour the digi onto CS that isn't white!

I cut the first one out with Curved Rectangle Nesties and added some Basic Grey sponging inside it.  On the second unicorn, I added some white gel pen and coloured the rest with Copics.  I covered the wings in glitter, cut it out, and mounted it on with Dimensionals.

The white layer is embossed with the Finial Press folder, and the base is also Kraft CS.

My second project is a scrapbook page of my CUTE twin nieces!  I love scrapping them.  The cardstock and DSP are all from SU's Confetti Simply Scrappin' Kit - I love those colours.

My sentiment is done with some Making Memories alphabet rub-ons, and the dimensional elements ae from Jolee's (at Michael's).

I printed the Unicorn onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, cut her out, and mounted her on with foam circles.  I covered her wings in glitter, and added some black Sakura pen to her eyes., and I also gave her some extra eyelashes :-)












For my 3rd project, I made another card.  I used the image to make a background.

The sentiment is from SU, and I made a flower with my 5-Petal Flower Punch and some white and Cameo Coral CS.  The pearls are misc from Michael's as well.  The sentiment panel was sponged with Cameo Coral ink.

The base is Sahara Sand CS.  I printed the Unicorn a bunch of times onto PTI White CS, coloured in the eyes and the hearts, and sponged around the edges with Cameo Coral ink.  I punched the Basic Black mat with the Ticket Corner punch.

Here is a shot of all the projects together:

See its not hard! Just make sure we can see the "different ways" and you'll be in! Just like all our challenges this week your entry is due to be linked up by the end of day January 23 EST. and for all our challenges this week you MUST use a Some Odd Girl digi. Need a new digi for the challenge? Check out what sale might be going on in the shop!
What are you playing for? I know Kristy's got some goodies up her sleeve! First, since its the toughest challenge of the week, she's got not only 3 digis of your choice from Some Odd Girl, but a $10 gift certificate to Oozak.com! C'mon, you know you were going to shop there anyway, best price on Copics hands down! So you can put it towards your next order :)


Don't forget to participate in our other anniversary week challenges - I had so much fun with this one!  Go to the SOG blog and check things out this week!  There is a different post every day.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Sketch Saturday and a Spoiler

Hi all,

Well, I am playing along with another fun layout over on the Sketch Saturday blog - #137.  For some reason, I usually really like the sketches over there!  Here's a glimpse:

Before I show you my card, I need to let something slip - I got a Christmas card from our Fearless Leader Kristy this season, which I loved, but that wasn't the best part! Inside the card, was a little present for me...

Kristy sent me a sample of what one of her images would be like in acrylic!!!  I am sooooo stoked about this - I do like my digital images, but I will always be partial to the physical stamp.  If I can get my mitts on some more of these images, I will be a happy camper!  I think everyone should email Kristy and try to convince her to make a bunch of stamps! LOL

Anyway, here is my card for this week, using my BRAND NEW Love Letter Kaylee stamp!  BTW, if you love this image, you can buy her in digi form HERE.

My card base is Always Artichoke CS, and my DSP pieces are from SU's Manchester pack, with Whisper White mats.  The photo corner is done using a punch with Whisper White and Basic Black CS.  I added some iconz rhinestones to that, as well as 3 rhinestones to the top of the large DSP panel.

Kaylee was stamped onto Neenah Solar White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Copics.  I also added some shading with my Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.  That layer was matted onto a Basic Black piece and popped up on foam circles.

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday 172 & Some Odd Girl Challenge

Hi all,

I wanted to make something for the challenge over on the SOG blog: to make a Valentine's card without using pink or red.  So, I decided to pair it with this week's Mojo Monday sketch 172!  Here's the sketch:

I wanted to use one of the cute images from a past release - Kiss A Prince Tia!  I love all the Tinies, and this image is no exception!

My card base is Bashful Blue CS, followed by a piece of Delicate Dots DSP with a Basic Black mat.  The DSP piece was sponged with some Basic Grey ink.  I also used a couple of Basic Grey CS strips and the yellow square is from the same DSP pack.  I added 3 black brads to the yellow square.  The sentiment is from an SU rub-on pack called Chit Chat. 

I cut a Whisper White circle out with Nesties, and added some Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery sponging.  I also stamped some grass with a misc Michael's stamp across the bottom, and added a Basic Black circle mat.

I printed Tia onto PTI White CS, coloured her with Copics, cut her out and mounted her on with Dimensionals.  Isn't she totally adorable?  I wonder what that frog's gonna look like after he changes...

Also, if you haven't downloaded this month's freebie yet, you should definitely get on that!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

A Wintery Birthday

Hi all,

I am still playing with some of the awesome winter and holiday images that Kristy has put out at Some Odd Girl!  I saw a few challenges I could get in on, so I threw a little somethin' together!

Firstly, I am entering the Allsorts challenge #83: Anything Goes.

Next, I am playing along with the Creative Card Crew challenge: Birthdays.

And finally, I used the Card Patterns Sketch #96...here:

And I had to use my new Snowy Mae digi, along with the fun Happy Birthday sentiment! Did you know Kristy sells sentiments too?  I especially like this one because there is an outline, so you can colour it!

Here is my card:

The base is Kraft CS, followed by a Basic Black piece, and a Whisper White mat.  On top of that, I added a plaid piece of Manchester DSP from SU, and I wrapped some Soft Suede polka dot ribbon around that layer, and added a staple to each side. 

I cut my circles out of Whisper White and Soft Suede CS using my classic and scallop circle Nesties.  I sponged the white circle with some Wheat Dew Drop ink.  I punched some arrows out of white and black CS and added them for some fun interest.

I printed Mae and the sentiment off onto PTI White CS and coloured them with Copics.  I cut Mae out, and attached her with Dimensionals, and I put the sentiment panel in her hand - it looks like she is showcasing it! 

Also, don't forget that the SOG blog ALWAYS has a challenge running, and every 2 weeks Kristy gives away SOG points, and free digis!
Also, there is a My Tiny Contest running until January 16 - you won't want to miss it!!!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Gingerbread InStyle

Hi all,

I was playing with some more holiday images from InStyle Stamps, and I decided to make a little treat carrier for all the Kisses I collected! 

I started with a simple 8.5" square piece of Soft Suede CS, and I added 2" tabs on either side.  I folded it into a box, and added some Sticky Strip to adhere the edges.  I wrapped a strip of Rockabilly DSP around it - the yummy piece with the shiny cherries on it.

I printed the Gingerbread House image onto PTI White CS, coloured it in with Copics, cut it out, and attached it with Dimensionals. 

I stuffed some tissue paper and all my Kisses into the box!

Don't forget to check out all the challenges running on the ISS blog! You have a few chances to win some ISS digis!

Sketch Saturday 134: Ollie

Hi all,

I wanted to play along with the Sketch Saturday 134 sketch this week again - I love these sketches!  There was a giant square panel in the centre which really appealed to me!

AND, did you know that the monkee from Some Odd Girl has been named Ollie??? I am using Sad Ollie for this card, cause he's sooo cute!  I morphed him into a get well monkee...

Here is the sketch:

Here is my take:

I left a couple panels out because the card was small, and the image was big, but I got the gist of it.  My card base is Basic Gray CS, and I also used Basic Black CS for all my mats.  The DSP is from SU's Close To Cocoa Prints pack, and I added some black jumbo brads to the side. 

I printed Ollie onto Neenah Solar White CS and coloured him with Copics.  I added some Crystal Effects to his tears, and I added some black Sakura pen to his eyes.  I cut him out with my Square Nesties, and mounted it with Basic Black CS. 

Make sure you check out the SOG blog for the current BLING challenge, and good luck!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

Love is in the Air

Hi all,

We got some really fun images to work with from InStyle Stamps this month, and they included some with a lovey dovey theme!  Valentine's Day isn't until February, but there is no time like the present to prepare!

You can definitely use these images to make some cute gifts for your cutie, but I chose to make a card with the Vanessa digi! 

My card base is PTI White, followed by a piece of Bride Specialty DSP and a Real Red mat.  I kind of like the way it turned out with the white paper and the red mat.  At the bottom, I added some glitter Thickers that spell "LOVE".

I printed Vanessa onto PTI White CS and coloured her with Copics.  I cut her out with some Classic Rectangle Nesties, and added some Pretty In Pink sponging inside the stencil.  I cut out a Basic Black mat with Scallop Rectangle Nesties as well, and mounted it on with Dimensionals.

Don't forget to check out the challenges always running on the ISS blog - you have tons of chances to win free digis!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!

I printed the ADIL image onto PTI White CS and coloured it with Copics.  That piece was matted with Basic Black CS, and attached with Dimensionals.

Some Odd Girl: Style 10

Hi all,

Well, 2 weeks have passed and it's time for another style challenge over on the Some Odd Girl blog!  This time, they want us to use 2 or more types of bling!  I LOVE this challenge - sparkle is so much fun!

Since the big holiday is coming, I decided to make a wintery card using the Snowman image!  He is so much fun! 

My card base is PTI White CS, and I added 4 corners of Heidi Swapp rhinestones for some bling!  My next layer is a piece of DCWV patterned paper from their glittered Winter pack.  The trees have sparkle all over them.  Yum.

I printed my snowman onto PTI White CS, and coloured him with Copics.  I added some Gunmetal Stickles to his buttons, and I spritzed the whole thing with Angel Wings Glimmer Mist for an overall shimmer.  I also painted some blue Shimmerz onto the snow.

Make sure you check out what all the ODDies brought out for the challenge on the SOG blog and submit your own project with multiple types of bling!

Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by!
