Some Odd Girl's DT call open, and NEW CHALLENGE!

mornin'!
got me a yucky migraine today, which honestly has NOTHING to do with going out last night with my co-worker darlings to celebrate our branch's huge success (we hit our target for the entire year in less than six months!), so i'm going to have to make this quick so i can get ready for work...

did you see that the Design Team call is OPEN for Some Odd Girl?! yep yep! you absolutely WANT to be on this team - the images are fantastic, my Kristy-Holmes-Dollie is so talented and sweet, and i know there are lots of great things on the horizon for Some Odd Girl! so CLICK HERE if you're interested in applying, and get all the deets!

that wraps up on July 17th, but TODAY, we have a new challenge that will take you through the 11th... for this challenge, we want to see...

BRIGHTS!

if you know me, you'll realize that this one was TOTALLY up my alley, and i have so many gorgeous bright, happy papers, it was tough to choose! it took me a while to flip through my faves, but here's what i came up with, using the very cute Goldee from our most recent digi release!

two of the lovely women in our cafeteria are leaving us today, so this is a little farewell card for one of them. (i wish i could get a better shot of the button - it's gold and SPARKLY and so pretty!)

here's Goldee close up:

what a FUN image to colour!

soooooo, you're gonna wanna CLICKETY CLICK HERE to get to the challenge, and see the rest of our Odd Girls' creations - seriously fabulous, and what a bright, happy post! (i'll admit, i'm probably going to be a few minutes early, but check back at 9 a.m. EST for the update at the Some Odd Girl challenge blog!)

i played along this week with the fabby sketch at CPS:

Easy Craft Projects wants GOLD
(my button, the card, and of course, Goldee!)

and the ABC Challenge - X is for crossing ribbons
(mine is twine, but still crosses a couple of times)

have a fantastic day, folks! if this migraine goes away, my day could shape up to be a pretty wonderful one, AND i'm off tomorrow for PTO - LOTS of colouring to be done. YAY!

Charisma challenge - who wants some ICE CREAM?!

I DO, I DO!

it's stinkin' hot here right now, and while i DO believe i'm having a hot flash, nobody can deny that the temps in South Jersey are climbing. i hope the weekend isn't too crazy, because i'm looking forward to a FOUR-DAY-WEEKEND and that's a lovely thing!

anywho, it's time for another CHARISMA challenge!

everyone did a fabby job with the White plus One challenge last week (i had fun with that one!), and this week, we're letting you get a little bolder...

show us your fave ICE CREAM FLAVOUR!

now that the summer is in full swing, i know i'm hoping for lots of ice cream socials or dates with the hubbin, so while my ABSOLUTE fave ice cream flavour is cotton candy, i've been especially digging on BIRTHDAY CAKE lately! here's my Birthday Cake Ice Cream creation... simple, but to the point!

and an angled view, so you can see how fun the sequins are as their own little embellies!

so what's your fave flave? chocolate? rocky road? cookies and cream? vanilla bean? raspberry fudge ripple, or something equally fun? show us whatcha got, and have FUN with this challenge! i know i'll probably be hungry for some tasty ice cream by the time i see everyone's entries, so i'll brace myself and start planning my outing NOW, so i'm well prepared!

CLICK HERE to see the rest of the creations from the utterly funtastic Charisma Galz, and play along by next WEDNESDAY for your chance to win prizes from Digi Stamp Boutique or The Stamp Shoppe!

We're looking for SOME new ODD GIRLs!

could it be YOU?!
are you ODD?!

do you love the SOGgies as much as we do?

if so, show us whatcha got!

Back, with CHARISMA!

i've been on DT holidays for the last two weeks, but i'm thrilled to be back, bringing you a brand new challenge at Charisma!

for this one, we want to see....

WHITE PLUS ONE!

right. so, white, with one other colour. it doesn't have to be MOSTLY white, but that's the route i took with this one. check it out:

loving the soft palette, and that lacy scallopy trim? yeah, that's a hot border stamp from Maya Road. i'd NEVER busted that stamp out before (but i HAD to have it!), and i've had the thing for, oh, a good 6 months. shame on me! lullz.

so white plus one! what's your colour gonna beeeeee?

CLICK HERE to see the rest of the fabby Charisma Galz' projects, and to play along this week! i'm sure you can all rock this one, and you have until next WEDNESDAY evening to join us!

playing along at The Crafty Pad - their challenge is "Something New" - i went for baby plus my new (previously unloved!) stamp! ;)

the Quirky Crafts challenge has come to an end, and now it's time for them to choose a winner! the challenge was "Under the Sea", and here's the card i submitted:

i had a TON of fun making my card, and i was thrilled at how the coral turned out, but trust me, there are some great submissions - so PLEASE, drop by and vote for your fave! the winner receives 3 digis and the option to be a guest designer on their blog - i'd love to be that girl!
