Scoring.....

is what we are looking for in 

Can be super effective and I often forget about using the technique...

I did some simple scoring with my card and kept it quite CAS with just a little blue distressing on the edges......



Sentiments PTI, scoreboard, image coloured with copics and paper pieced with PTI colour couture paper,  digi stamp drawn by me

Challenges
Paper Cutz-anything goes!
Stamp Something-cute somethings

Thanks for stopping by,

Ode to Some Odd Girl....

Welcome to Some Odd Girl's Mini Hop! With this post we are taking some time to look  back at some of our Some Odd Girl creations....
{this post is super picture heavy!! couldn't stop adding them...  lol}

thought I would share some of my first creations {yikes!} and other ones to follow!


this first pic is a little collage of when I discovered Some Odd Girl... had only discovered digital images and colouring in..... don't think I even owned markers yet and borrowed them from my friend Jenny... didn't get the whole concept of shading yet. This was April 2010... not even a year ago... have coloured so many images now it's crazy!

these one's are done with ProMarkers...
This is the one that earned me my 'lil oddity badge for top 2.. was so excited! he he

 This one was for my DT introduction post!

The rest are just some of my faves...

{this is when i started to add Copics to my collection of markers}















And my most latest!

Thanks for takin' the time to look though some {A LOT} of my SOGgy creations...
I have had a load of fun cutting and colouring these fun images! Pop over to the other girls where they are sharing some of their SOGgy goodness and the challenge blog where you get the history of how SOG came to be!!

Congrats Kristy! You have done such a huge amount of work in such a short space of time!! We have all fallen in love with your images and your fun personality... here's to many more anniversaries and your continued success!

Some Odd Girl's Anny week celebrations have begun!!

So I thought I would give you a little run down of how the week will go......

here is the schedule of events:


16th - Kick off and rundown (with a lil question)
17th - 1 Digis 3 Ways Challenge
18th - an Odd History and mini blog hop***one year TODAY!***
19th - Some Odd Girl Colors Challenge
20th - Kids Coloring Challenge
21st - Some Odd Elements Challenge
22nd - Mini Card Challenge

All challenges will be due by January 23rd at midnight EST with the winners announced on the Some Odd Girl Blog on January 24th.  Entering in each challenge, which has its own prize, will also get you one entry in to our BIG draws for the BIG prizes. Which are pretty cool... you can check them out on the blog too!

NOW
about that little question....

Kristy wants to know who our favourite SOG character is...

I never thought that question would be so hard!
I love them all for different reasons...
Kody with his cool dude attitude and fab hair, Kaylee, since she is the original SOG girl with her funky and fun aura, then there are all the kitchen, techie, and nature digis that can be so much fun to pair with punny sentiments....

BUT 
I suppose I love Relax Mae the most...
maybe it's because I feel she resembles me the most.. back in my care free university days, just back from tree planting all summer long in the sun, or doing some hiking on the Sleeping Giant, or sitting round the campfire {on a bug filled eve}
I even tried to colour her that way with some jean shorts and grey hoodie, the hair and eyes...
anyway... now I am reminiscing!!! lol!






I haven't put her on a card yet... but no hurry, Mae is just relaxing... waiting for the perfect spot!


I even have her above my workspace on a layout I did to apply for the SOG DT in the summer to remind me to relax!!!





{this is an old pic of me and my friend Melissa on a night off in one of the tree planting camps! ha ha! Love my hat!!}
{and one with a few of us at the end of a tough walk out of the planting block
taking a well deserved rest!}

So now it's your turn... go over to the challenge blog and let us know your fave SOGgy!

See you back here tomorrow.......

Stash Challenge 11 is up......

so it's time get out all those folders, or your trusty heat gun and get 

EMBOSSING


Always great for extra texture and a bit of fun, I used both types with 'Love Letter Kaylee' for some sweet valentine fun! Come to the Challenge Blog for more inspiration from the team and don't forget about all the fun events planned for next weeks Some Odd Girl 1st Birthday celebrations!!!

I would like to enter this card into PaperPlay's 2nd Challenge this year... 'cutie patootie'!
