we've got COLOR at Some Odd Girl!

it's a new challenge, folks, and the LAST for the current team at Some Odd Girl! we are TRULY lucky to have had such wonderful designers for this round, and we are sad to see them go! it's been a fun and fantastic six months, and now it's time for our Odd Girls to pass the torch along, so stay tuned for our big announcement! a very big, heartfelt THANK YOU to the girls who have rocked their term, inspiring the socks off of me, and the rest of the blogosphere! you ladies will be GREATLY missed!

so with our final little farewell to them, we present you with a brand new challenge at the Some Odd Girl blog... with this particular challenge comes a few new rules, so please be sure to read all about it - CLICK HERE for the challenge!

we want to see you create something using THIS as your colour inspiration:

do you LURRRRRVE these colours? i have been a smidgen obsessed with this here palette, so it was a cinch to create something for the occasion. here's my card, featuring a combination of stamps from the In Stitches Tia clear set:

and a close-up of the spool (with my doodling and the fun background!):

the accent buttons were EXACTLY what i needed for the background - it just looked drab without 'em! all coloured up with my beloved Prismas, of course, and one lonely bit of paper from Sass, and i was convincing myself that this card was FINISHED, darn it (ha - no pun intended!)! i am so inclined to busy everything up, so this took willpower! :)

CLICKETY CLICK to see the gorgeous work from the rest of the Odd Girls as we bid them adieu and thank them for their dedication to Some Odd Girl throughout their term! give 'em a bit of love, and join us for this challenge, which runs for an entire MONTH! you could be our big winnah! :)

i also couldn't help but be inspired...
at Allsorts - they're on Pins and Needles, and i'm loving this cute theme! :)

isn't she PRETTY IN PINK?! come and play at Charisma!

hi there, folks! SUPER busy over here getting ready for CHA and wrapping up a lot of loose ends with work, plus i'm taking a new class that's eating up a bunch of my time, and i'm pleased to say that i've re-joined the gym!

yeah, BUSY! i ain't lyin'!

but it's time to share another fabulous CHARISMA challenge with you, at Team Carly is at bat and we have some amazing sponsors again this time around! wanna play? JOIN US!

our theme this week.... PRETTY IN PINK! (great movie, no?)

yes, this means that we want to see PINK on your creations. but please, don't just submit any ol' project because it has SOME pink on it - the predominant colour must be pink, so we wanna see LOTS of it!

take this, for example...

nearly ALL pink, except for a hint of brown and purple. that's what i'm talkin' about!

check out this flower - don't you LOVE the pin? it's from Paperchase
(as i have a bit of an obsession with them, thanks to Lauren!).

a rather strange colour combination, even for ME, but i was really pleased at how this one came together. the stamp is from Unity, and i'm quite smitten with this set because there are some lovely quotes in it. :)

sponsoring this week are the lovely

and

so we wanna see you make something PRETTY with PINK! CLICK HERE and join the Charisma Galz by next Wednesday, February 1st and you might be one of our lucky winners or faves!
