Facebook Fun Day - Some Odd Girl is HOPPIN'! :)

hey everyone! are you on Facebook? stop by the Some Odd Girl group and say hello! we have a SALE going on, lots of fun stuff to share (tutorials, conversation, silliness, a challenge and beautiful projects from our Odd Girls AND our Odd friends!), and it's going on RIGHT NOW! :)

CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE PARTY! :D

Charisma is CHARMING, indeed!

in addition to Charisma having an open Design Team call going on right now (click here for deets and get in on the fun!), it's time for a new challenge... i don't know what it is about me and PINK lately, but for some reason, i'm all about it. i think i just need more orange things. ;)

at any rate, this week, we're looking for CHARMS!

use charms on your projects and play along to win stuff from our wonderful sponsors:

Joanna sheen (a £10 voucher to one lucky winner!)
Meljen's Designs (yay, DIGIS!)
Crafty Ribbons (pretties - love this store!)

we are lucky enough to have some very generous sponsors who let us show our participants the love, so you might be one of the fortunate ones to get a prize just by playing along! SO. something charming, you say? sure!

i got a little spritz-happy with my yummy Shimmerz spray, and didn't want to cover it up, so i opted for maximum pop factor with yet ANOTHER pink, black and white combination. :) the charm is somewhat camouflaged, but doesn't match that paper perfectly?! (maybe a little too perfectly, otherwise you'd actually SEE the thing!)

all set to play along? CLICK HERE to see the rest of the talented Charisma Galz' creations, and prepare to be inspired! you have until next Wednesday to enter your project for your chance to win. happy craftin, friends! i can't believe we're already at THURSDAY! this week is flying by, and there's lots of big stuff coming up, so i'll be around lots next week! :D

so you think you've got CHARISMA?!

well we have a Design Team call open at Charisma, and we're looking for a few good crafters! :)

CLICK HERE for the details - the call is open from now through May 25th, so you've got 9 more days to get in on the action!

i've been a proud Charisma Gal for quite a while now, and the blog is run very smoothly - our girls Carlyann and Gemma (co-owners) are very organized and on top of their game! challenges are typically set MONTHS in advance, so you always have plenty of time to create for your weeks, some of our sponsors provide free images for us to use, and the team is super friendly and has a lot of fun behind the scenes, too!

you don't have to have a specific style, you just have to ENJOY what you do, take pride in your creations, and be able to commit to the terms, which are very reasonable and easy to follow!

we have more than 1300 followers, loads of visitors to our blog every week, tons of participants, and you stand to get a whole lot of exposure as a Charisma Gal! :D

so? whatcha waiting for? get your application together and send it quick! we want you, yo!

THERE! i think i'm caught up, although i'm sure i didn't do these beauties justice by throwin' down a quick post cramming it all in! regardless, it's been super busy, and now i'm off to get ready for work, while STILL recovering from a stomach bug that plagued me last week. bleh!

hope you're all feeling crafty, 'cuz there's lots going on, and the fun has begun! :)

CHARISMA looking for pink and black!

we're lookin' HOT this week at Charisma, folks, and i just KNOW this is going to be a popular challenge! not only are we sponsored by the fantastic Simon Says Stamp AND Pink Cat Studio AND Bunny Zoe Crafts, but i've seen this combo a lot around the blogosphere and i know it's a fave amongst crafters! are you ready?

the Charisma Galz are challenging you to
use PINK AND BLACK on your creations this week!

(i know, not terribly challenging for SOME, but not a combination i typically use personally, so i was definitely challenged!)

i have been a colouring fiend lately, so i opted for something a little more simple - we are promoting the girl i supervise today (she's going to be my assistant - COOL!), so i wanted to give her something that lets her know i'm very proud of her...

i hope she likes it! i also hope you're at least a smidgen inspired or excited about our challenge - but before you bust out your pretty pinks and get ready to get your craft on, check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the Charisma Galz HERE!

you have until next WEDNESDAY to play along, so have fun, happy craftin', and we've ALMOST made it to Friday! :)

joining in the fun at...
Papertake Weekly - they have an Anything Goes challenge this week!
Fussy and Fancy - they're looking for Punches and Dies (star border punch, tag die)
Stampin' for the Weekend - they want Sparkle and Shine (bling and sentiment!)
