Let's Talk About the Weather Challenge

Our weather has been CRAZY lately in my area.  One day it feels like summer, the next day it's cold, and the next we are having a flood watch.  All of this crazy weather is great inspiration for the challenge we have going on in the Some Odd World called "Let's talk about the Weather".   Drop by the SOG Forum for all the details, then create a card (using a Some Odd Girl image of course) that gives a hint to the weather. 

 

Here's a little something I made for this challenge:

 

I made her rain boots and umbrella all shiny.

You can get Rainy Mae (along with other cute digis that would be great for the challenge) at the Some Odd Girl website.

 

 

New SOG Digi!!

It's NEW DIGI Tuesday!!  Every Tuesday Some Odd Girl introduces a new digital stamp, so today I want you to meet this new cutie....Soccer Tia. 

 She has the ball and is ready score! Tia wears her hair in the traditional soccer girl pony tail (with head band of course!) and her uniform can be colored up in your favorite team colors.

The little banner and sentiment (awesome sauce, I just love that!) are from the clear stamp set Make A Statement.  Make sure to check the Some Odd Girl blog to see another new digis we have today and a great tutorial video too!

80's fun....with an Odd Girl twist!

All week long Some Odd Girl will be showing you fun and different ways to use your SOG digital stamps.  Today there is a little tutorial (by yours truly) on how to make Shrinky Dinks.  Do you remember those from the 80's??  Shrinky Dinks were so much fun and we have made them even better by using super cute SOG images....they are TOTALLY AWESOME!!

 

Here is a little sneaky peek for you...

What do you think about these little Odd earrings?? They are made from Shrinky Dinks. Head over to the Some Odd Girl blog for the full tutorial on how to make them yourself.

 

Tomorrow I'll be sharing a NEW Some Odd Girl digital stamp.  See you then!

Super Hero Cake

It's been a while since I have blogged one of my cakes, so I have a fun one for you today.  I made this one for my brother-in-law who happens to love super hero and comics books.  Each layer represents a character with their color and belt.  The cake topper is a bank that can be used long after the cake it gone.  By the way...my bro-n-law is grown...older than me.  Even grown ups can have a fun character cakes! :-)

 

The bottom layer is Gambit from X-men, middle layer is Batman, and the first layer is Wolverine from X-men. The cake topper is the Spider man bank.

New Sketch Challenge

It's May....MAY people!! That means it's time for my baby boy to become an official teenager.  I'm not sure I am ready for teen years, but it is happening...ready or not.  A new month also means a new sketch challenge over at Some Odd Girl.  Come over and check out the sketch and the prizes, then play along with us!!

 

Any time one of my kiddos has a birthday, it gets me to thinking about them as a baby.  I just loved those big baby eyes, sweet baby hair, and cute diaper bottoms.  My card for the SOG sketch challenge has all of that baby cuteness...times two.   I used the Tiny Baby digi stamp and printed one as the mirror image to make my twins.

 

*** DON'T FORGET...today is the last day to get in on the Open Entry Round for Odd Idol.  Get your entry because you do NOT want to miss out on those awesome prizes!!*** 

I Spy and New Digi Release

We have a fun challenge going on called "I SPY with my little eye, something starting with C".  Here is what I came up with....

 

Colors of the rainbow, Crayon (in her hand), and Clouds. There are so many things you can do...cake, cats, cupcakes....the ideas are endless, so come play with us!

I used the sweet digital stamp, Rainbow Fairy. 

 

Did you know we have new digital stamps every Tues at Some Odd Girl?  Painter Mae and Look Out Mae were added this week and they are MUST HAVES!  My friends Mary Pat and Anna Sigga have some beautiful creations using the latest new digi releases.  Just click their name and see for yourself.

Rapunzel

Once upon a time, there was a FABULOUS new clear stamp set from Some Odd Girl....

 

  Let me introduce you to Rapunzel....and her beautiful long hair. If you like to color hair, you are going to LOVE this stamp set. She also comes with a couple of flowers and 2 sentiments. Just think of the fun you can have creating with her!

 

I made the tower in the background using a sketch file from Silhouette, then I put a velum paper over it to make it look more distant. I paper pieced Rapunzel's dress and colored her up with Copics.  Make sure you check out the Some Odd Girl blog for other projects using this new set.
