OPERATION WRITE HOME BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE (special rules apply!)
Some Odd Girl's MULTIPLE IMAGES (3 or more) CHALLENGE

Both of these challenges close at MIDNIGHT EST tomorrow - Wednesday, September 22nd!

Dollies love COLOR, and i LOVE PegasusMaiden!

heya, chickens!
it's late, and i spent most of the day sleeping in an effort to kick a migraine (i succeeded!), so now i'm wide awake and playing catch up!

first things first... it's Color Challenge day for the Design Dollies!
the challenge this week?
black, burgundy and yellow... wasn't sure where i wanted to take this one, but BasicGrey's "Sugared" and "Origins" helped me out. here's my sample:


with a SERIOUSLY yummy piece of trim, courtesy of the lovely Lauren (still playing with my parting gifts -thanks, doll!). check it out:


(i added the little strand of pearls)

so CLICK HERE FOR THE CHALLENGE!

and i was TOTALLY inspired by THIS:

which is from the Etsy Inspired Challenge #106 (i WANT that piece from PegasusMaiden!)

and i'm playing along with...
Stamptacular Sunday - they want to see a GRID PATTERN on your project
The Secret Crafter - Anything Goes!

back tomorrow as i'm off to work on some more pretties (using BasicGrey's MARJOLAINE) - the girl who had invited me to her hostess party last month (where i was going to sell a slew of cards) had to reschedule for the 29th, so i'm gettin' geared up!
ciao!

Some Odd Girl and Operation Write Home BONUS CHALLENGE!

i'm here, getting my fellas off to school (hubbin started back today and The Son goes back monday), preparing for my new job to start october 1st, taking little day trips and trying to squeeze every last drop out of summer before it's gone for another year, i'm also reeling from all the excitement going on with the crafty stuff!

today, something BIG is going on at Some Odd Girl! we have teamed up with Operation Write Home for a special challenge, and you can WIN STUFF while supporting the troops - is that not awesome? (yes, it is - rhetorical question, people!) :)

we're encouraging you to send cards to the Operation Write Home rep nearest you so they can get loads of them boxed up and shipped to the troops, because they love sending handmade cards to their loved ones, and their loved ones CERTAINLY love receiving them! GO HERE to get the scoop on Operation Write Home and then GO HERE to see what we're doing in conjunction with them.

since their biggest card need is BIRTHDAYS, our Oddest Girl, Kristy, has whipped up something extra-special for the occasion, and, well, just take a look:




is Birthday Tia not the cutest little thing you ever did see? (another rhetorical one there, folks - no need to answer!) we hope she'll be a big hit when the recipients of these OWH cards open their mail!

you want to send a Birthday Tia card to the troops? GO HERE!
oh, and do you wanna win some of THESE?


it's CUTE OVERLOAD at Some Odd Girl! these Tinies are being released on September 21st, but YOU could win 4 of your faves from this series by playing along! this is a much shorter challenge, so be sure to read all the deets HERE, and let's get some boxes of LOVE in the mail for Operation Write Home! remember, absolutely NO GLITTER! (it's a safety hazard for our troops!)

playing along with the challenges at:
C.R.A.F.T. - colored pencils! (right up my alley - i ONLY use Prismacolor pencils!)
Papertake - photo inspiration (loved the blend of colours!)

Pile It On - they're co-sponsoring the OWH challenge!
Stamp Something - stripes and spots (stripes on the journaling tag, spots on the tag and the party hat, etc)

and before i mosey along, a quick reminder that MY CANDY is still running, and i have updated the list of treats - help spread the word and you could win it all! :)

Odd as ever - new Some Odd Girl challenge with sneaks!

second post for the day! scroll down for my Charisma challenge!

here we are - already at Stash Challenge #7! that means we've had 13 challenges at Some Odd Girl already, and it's been 26 weeks since we kicked off with Stash Challenge #1! i can't believe how quickly this year has flown by!

well you're here to see what the challenge is all about, so i'll just throw it out there for ya. :)

MULTIPLE IMAGES! at least 3 or more, with a bonus entry if they're all DIFFERENT images...

i have been itchin' to get together with a good friend (or nine) for coffee, so this card practically made itself in my head... i used Coffee Mae, Coffee Kaylee (plus the table - it's included with both digis), and i added a little mini Mocha to the table ('cuz there's always room for one more, right?!)...


close-up:


this card was SO much fun to make, and to COLOUR!
