It's a Some Odd Girl costume party hop!

HELLOOOOOOO ODDIES!

It's time for Some Odd Girl's 3rd Annual Trick or Treat Halloween Hop!  WELCOME!

Thank you so much for joining us!  This year we're throwing a costume party and all of the Odd Girls are sharing Halloween costume-themed creations! If you came here from Kristy's blog, you're off to a good start!  If not, just click here to go back to the beginning and make sure you hit all the houses - I mean blogs!

How will the trick or treating work? At every stop along the hop, each Odd Girl will either have a treat for you, or a trick (don't worry! it's a crafty tip, and has nothing to do with house egging!). 

We're not telling who's got tricks and who's got treats! But to be in the running for a treat, you must leave a comment on every blog along the hop. Each person who wins a treat gets a code for $10 of digis in the Some Odd Girl shop!

Here's what I whipped up featuring the gorgeous Super Mae digi - she's an inspiration for ANY girl and I KNOW we all have a heroine like her inside us!  This Halloween, let your superhero woman SHINE!

Some Kelly Purkey paper, some BOLD colour, a handful of mixed sequins, and a strip of washi.  Mae is coloured up with my Prismacolor Pencils, because that's how I roll.  ;)

My little trick for you is this...
Let your papers work for you!  There are SO many awesome designs that may seem really specific but can make your job very easy!  The paper I used for my card was a scene in itself, so all I had to do was add my sentiment and bling it up, and VOILA!  Super Mae is leaping tall buildings in a single bound!

OOOOHHHHH!  But in the spirit of FUN, we do have a little treat for ALL OF YOU!  Use code TRICKORTREAT to get 20% off your entire purchase through the weekend!

Are we ready? Get hopping, leave your comments everywhere, and be inspired! Here is your hop order:

Trick or Treat with Some Odd Girl!

hey there, chickens!  are you ready for some FUN?!

We’d like to welcome you to Some Odd Girl‘s 2nd annual Trick or Treat Halloween Hop!

Thank you so much for joining us!  All of the Odd Girls have concocted a creepy little creation to inspire you today, and you’re invited to visit each blog to see what’s been brewing!   You might have arrived from Linda’s blog – if so, you’re on the right track!  If not, you’ll want to CLICK HERE to get things started, because you won’t want to miss a thing!

We’ll be sharing some of these pretties at the Some Odd Girl blog over the next few days, but TODAY, we kick things off!  So you might be wondering what this Trick or Treat stuff is all about, yeah?  Well, in addition to amazing papercrafty goodness you’ll see at each stop, you’ll get tricks along the way, too!  Simple tips and tricks to little secrets we papercrafters have figured out that we want to share with you!  

My trick for you today is this... Don't allow yourself to get stuck in a theme with a themey stamp...  Sometimes a little outside-the-box imagining will breathe new life into a stamp set!

And then there are TREATS! 

As you hop, you’ll come across some Treats, located at random Odd Girls‘ blogs.  We have some clear stamps, some Odds & Ends, some digi stamps and lots and lots of inspiration for you!  AND, as if that wasn’t exciting already, we have a discount code for you!

TRICKORTREAT
saves you 25% off your ENTIRE purchase during the hop!

So I have a festive little creation to share today...  BUT would you have thought to use the Yeti clear stamp set for something other than a winter/Christmas project?  Well he is a monstah, so he's kinda perfect for Halloween too, right?  :)  Here's my card, and I've used some of the awesome orange woodgrain paper from our Sunshine Sorbet paper pad and some orange and blue Sorbet Sequins as well:

here's my Yeti dude up close, and you can see all the fun little things in my embellie cluster:

Be sure to leave a comment at each stop, and if YOU have any tricks you’d like to share, we’d love to hear them!  There might just be a prize in it for one commenter who leaves us a trick!  Okay.  So have you got all that?  Here’s your hop order, in case you've randomly arrived:

Trick or Treat with the ODD GIRLS!

VELCOME!  and a VELLY SKELLY Halloween week celebration to you!

i'm so happy you're joining me today to TRICK OR TREAT with the Odd Girls!  Some Odd Girl is hopping, and by now you've ALMOST made it to the end of our little adventure...  you might have found some tasty little nuggets along the way, too!

if Alexis was your last stop, you're on the right track and WELL on your way!  however, if you've just visited me 'cuz you're my friend (yay!), you'll want to head on back to the start at the Some Odd Girl blog...

our hop this week is full of spooktacular Halloween Tricks and Treats. don’t worry, our tricks won’t be too scary! AND, just like trick or treating for candy, you don’t want to skip any houses…or blogs in this case!  in order to win TREATS, you must leave a comment on each of the Odd Girls' blogs, as well as the main post.

SO!  here's my project to inspire you for our festivities!

i stamped this Clever Kittys cutie and extended his fangs and bloodied 'em up a smidge, 'cuz, well, he's velly skelly!  :)  of course, with a critter this cute, i couldn't go TOO gruesome, so i had to add in some Doodlebug pretties!

and from here, you are off to visit the lovely Lenny!  OH, but before i send you away, i have a TRICK to share with you...  as a girl who's trying very hard to get comfy colouring with her markers, i find black to be a little intimidating.  but for the MOST part, i don't even colour with a black marker!  nosirreebob - just various shades of grey (cool or warm, depending on my project and the effect i'm after).  this one uses just the 4 IGs from Spectrum Noir.  no black!

so happy hopping!  we are celebrating right through to Halloween night, so you have until THURSDAY at midnight EDT to leave your comments and be eligible for treats!  i'll be announcing our winners on Saturday, November 2nd on the Some Odd Girl blog.  :)  happy halloween, and don't forget to have your parents check your candy before you eat it!
