SOG’s new digis = warm weather fun!

Hey, everybody! It’s time for a new digi stamp release at Some Odd Girl, and I’ve gotta say, today’s pair of digis have got me looking forward to some warm weather fun! First up is “Bubbles Tia“:
SOG supplies: “Bubbles Tia” digi stamp, sentiment from “Breakfast Friends” clear set. Designer Paper: “It’s A Celebration” 6×6 pad – Carta Bella, assorted Copic markers, Stickles, translucent sequins, Ranger Glossy Accents.
I loved blowing bubbles as a kid; how about you? I used some translucent sequins as accents near the sentiment, which is from the “Breakfast Friends” clear set…but it also works well with this digi! I also used some Stickles on the balloons and sealed them with Glossy Accents to give them some dimension.
My second card for today features “Hula Hoop Mae“:

SOG supplies: “Hula Hoop Mae” digital stamp, sentiment from “Flirty Mae” clear stamp set. Other supplies: Designer Paper: “Sketchbook” 6×6 paper pad – Amy Tangerine, foam tape, neon pink ink (Hero Arts), sequins, assorted Copic markers.
I also loved my pink hula hoop, although I seem to have lost my coordination for it now that I’m older. Maybe it’s time to get another one and change that!
The sentiment on this card is from the “Flirty Mae” clear set. I masked the speech bubble tail so that it would stamp as a circle instead!
Our Spring Social kicked off yesterday with all of the details and the first clue to the week-long scavenger hunt included in the newsletter. Make sure to sign up for the newsletter if you don’t get it! There’s still time to join all the fun, so make sure you’re a member of our Facebook group to play with us!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you’re having a wonderful week!

Hi, Oddies! It’s our last digi release in February, and I’ve made another card featuring the “grands” to share with you today! Here’s “Grand Dance”, one of two new digi stamps available today in the Some Odd Girl Store:
I chose a sentiment from the “First Dance Mae” clear set. I think it’s perfect for this digi, too!
Be sure to mark your calendar for our upcoming clear stamp release! Next week, we’ll feature three new clear sets at SOG, all with a hipster theme! Get ready to get ironic and organic with Hipster Kody, Hipster Mae, and Hipster Pets!

A FAIRY wonderful digi release at Some Odd Girl!

Hi, everybody! Can I just say that I’m SO over winter? We got pummeled with snow late last week, and while I have experience driving and walking in it, the “fun” of it wore off a long time ago!


Because I’m looking forward to Spring (and I’m sure you are, too), I’m sharing two cards that I made with the newest digi stamps at Some Odd Girl! Both of the images and cards make me smile and put me in a Spring-time frame of mind!

First up is “Daydreaming Fairy“:
Some Odd Girl supplies: digital stamp (“Daydreaming Fairy”) Other supplies: patterned paper (American Crafts/Dear Lizzy), washi tape (We R Memory Keepers – yellow, orange, blue; Little B – gold lace), rub-on letters (American Crafts/Pebbles), circle punch, assorted Copic markers, Stickles glitter glue.

And next is “Daffodil Fairy“:
Some Odd Girl supplies: digital stamp (“Daffodil Fairy”), clear stamp (“Sunny Mae“); Other supplies: patterned paper (“Park Bench” 6×6 pad – Fancy Pants Designs), Assorted Copic markers, Stickles glitter glue, opaque white marker. 

Can you tell that I spent lots of time on the shadows and shading? I’m really trying to improve my technique with pleats and shading and light. I’ve found the best way to get better is to practice! And, there are so many awesome technique videos out there, and I definitely look them up when I’m stumped! (Kristy has lots of live color along videos on the Some Odd Girl UStream channel!)

The layouts for both cards were inspired by the current Deconstructed Sketch (#138):


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I brought you some sunshine with these cards…and I hope you have a wonderful week! Don’t forget, there’s still time to show us your mad misting or masking skills (or both)! Make sure to link up your entry at the SOG blog!

And, in case you haven’t heard, we’ve changed from the old ning community to a new group on Facebook…there are lots of fans chatting and sharing their Oddest creations already, so make sure you get in on the fun ASAP!

Hugs,

LOVE is in the air with the new SOG digis!

Hey there, everybody! I’m sharing two new cards today that I made with the digis being released today at Some Odd Girl! 
My first card features “Hand Holding Mae & Kody“, and it also happens to be the card I made to give to my husband for Valentine’s Day!
Some Odd Girl supplies: digital stamp (“Hand Holding Mae & Kody“); Other supplies: designer paper (“Head Over Heels” mini pad – Echo Park), wood heart accent (Freckled Fawn), heart dimensional stickers (Prima Marketing), various Copic markers, white opaque marker (American Crafts).
My second card features “Grand Couple”, the second new SOG digi in today’s release! I picked a sentiment from the “Threshold Mae” clear set to go with the image.
Some Odd Girl Supplies: digital stamp image “Grand Couple“, sentiment “Threshold Mae” clear set. Other supplies: wood heart chips (Freckled Fawn), designer paper (Basic Grey – Bittersweet {retired}), heart dimensional stickers (Prima Marketing), assorted Copic markers.
I colored the wood hearts to match my project with the chisel end of some Copics, then added the heart “gem” in the middle. I often use the chisel end of my Copics when I’m coloring something and I’m not sure how well the surface will work with the markers. The hearts colored up beautifully, though!
So glad you stopped by for a visit today! If you haven’t already, join SOG’s new Facebook group…there are always fun discussions going on! Recent topics have included craft room furniture, storing markers, printing digital images, and we’re all getting to know our fellow group members!
Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!
Hugs,

A sweet new digi at Some Odd Girl!

HEY, HEY Oddies! Are you ready for some fresh digi inspiration? Then, you’re in luck! My card for today features “Sweet Kiss Kody,” one of two new digis available today in the Some Odd Girl Store!
(The sentiment and speech bubble are from the “I Do” clear set, which was released earlier this month.)
AWWWW…looks like Kody is getting a little “sugar” from Mae…
Don’t forget that our monthly challenge is still open! Our theme for this month is “Make Your Own Background”, and you can find inspiration and all the details for this challenge at the SOG blog! AND, there’s always something new at our ning community, Some Odd World, so stop by and say HI!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you’re having a wonderful week!

SOG new digi release: Reading Tia

3 Comments
How-DEE! I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping along with the Some Odd Girl team and checking out all the festive HOL-ODD-DAY inspiration we have for you this week! If you haven’t had a chance to hop yet, start at the Some Odd Girl blog and join in the fun!
Today, while it might be snowy outside, I’m staying in and sharing a card that I made with one of this week’s new digi releases at SOG! Here’s “Reading Tia,” who looks a lot like I did when I was younger!
The sentiment is from the “Bliss” Nouveau Girls set, because nothing makes an avid reader like me as happy as getting lost in a good book!
I read more mysteries than any other type of book, and I’ve been drawn to Scandinavian authors lately. A couple of my favorites are Yrsa Sigardottir, Camilla Lackberg, and Mari Jungstedt. (I read the English translations, though.)
Hey, don’t forget! In addition to the HOL-ODD-DAY hop, don’t forget to check out what’s new at Some Odd World, our ning community, and stop by the SOG blog to get the details for our December challenge…we want to see how you’ll make your own background on your ODD creations!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you’re having a warm and cozy week so far!
Hugs,
