Manly Challenge!

Congrats to the winner of our Make a Scene Challenge! You can see them on yesterdays post.

Today's challenge is going to make you want to rip off your your shirt and flex those rippling muscles in the mirror! Or for me, flex and pretend ;) In either case we are going to be getting our "man" on! First though, I'd like to thank Patricia for being such a fabulous Guest Odd Girl for the Month of May! Her cards were spot on and I know she hopped around and commented on so many entries, what a lovie!!! This isn't the last you'll see her though, next week we'll be having the sneaks for the June 14th Summer Beach Digi Release and we have a couple guests joining us :)

Speaking of Guests, let me introduce you to our June Guest Odd Girl Karen!

Karen Mostov
blog: My Mannerism

I’m Karen, an Urban Israeli girl.
I live in sunny Tel Aviv with my 4 year old daughter.
I am a banker for bread,
A full time mummy for love,
And a scraper (during the dark hours) for the soul.

I would say that my designs, reflect a yearning to a kinda retro childish style,that's why some odd girl stuff is right up my alley.
I am delighted to join Kristy and the rest of the odd gang, and be the June Guest designer, I hope I'll raise to the occasion.

Welcome Karen! She is super talented and we're thrilled to have her for June! Not to mention, I wish I could take a photo like that! Am I right?

Ok! Our challenge is to flex those Manly muscles and show us a creation that screams DUDE! Let's see what the girls came up with:

Our Guest Odd Girl Karen used Suave Kody

Carlie used Tobie and Buddie

Asa used Suave Kody

Sarah used Tobie and his Puppy

Robin used Tobie and his Puppy

Kristy used Tobie and his Puppy

Caz used Suave Kody

Zarah used Super Tobie

Leah used Pressie Tobie

Can you feel your testosterone growing?

Our challenge... MAKE A SCENE! I want you to use your skills to make a scene. Could be a beach scene, clouds or butterflies in a sky, Moooey chowin on some grass in green pastures... whatever you come up with! Be creative you smart chicks! I know you can do it!

Get into Shape winners!

Hey ya Oddies! I hope everyone has been having a great spring, getting all crafty and inky. We are having just a blast seeing our new Clear Stamps making their way into the crafty world! Share any and all your Odd creations with us on our Facebook page, its such fun seeing them!

For our shape up challenge you all totally rawked it! I saw so many creative takes, great cards and awesome coloring skills! Our winner from this fabulous group is Nikki!

Congrats Nikki! You're the winner of 2 digis of your choice from our shop! Email me, Kristy@someoddgirl.com to get your goodies!

Our favs from this challenge were especially hard to choose. I could have easily chosen 5 and still been unhappy leaving others out. Not an enviable position! I went with 2 cards that stood out to me for different reasons. Our first had excellent coloring and bright fun colors. Elena did such a fabby job bringing lots of texture in too

Isn't it lovely? Our second fav stood out because her card has such a fun, different shape. It really hit the mark on the challenge. Patricia also had excellent coloring and lots of details.

Congrats to both our favs! Elena, Patricia, email me Kristy@someoddgirl.com to get your fav's badge! 

A big thanks to everyone who played along! You'll want to join us tomorrow, the challenge we have for you will make you just want to make a scene! It's gonna be a blast! Stay Odd!

We will be reordering soon but it will be a couple of weeks before they get here :)

SO, on to the winners of our Hot Momma Challenge! Random.org, my randomly bestie, had decided our winner and  she picked.....

Awilda! Congrats! Email me Kristy@someoddgirl.com to collect your goodies.

Our next fav reminds me of our very own Asa with a simple and lovely design. Nick has lots of texture and color but with a lovely CAS design.

SOG Only Think Spring Winners!

Thanks to everyone who played with our Some Odd Girl Only (means you must use a Some Odd Girl stamp to be eligible) Challenge of Think Spring! Your entries totally made me think of warmer days with the birds singing and the flowers starting to bloom! No frost to be seen! We've drawn the winner of the 4 SOG digis and the winner is...

Jeanette!

I love Jeanette's style! Bright but with a vintage flair! Jeanette email me Kristy@someoddgirl.com to get your coupon code to go on a mini shopping spree! Our two favs were harder to pick, random.org certainly saves me the hardest job of picking a winner though lol! All the entries had something about them that I LOVED! But the two I picked were so purty each with different things I loved. First was Lisa who joined us with her FIRST SOG entry ever! Who doesn't like that?

Lisa put together a great color combo that flowed and just looks so cute! Her coloring was soft and worked well with her different elements. Thanks for joining us Lisa! Our second fav comes from the talented Ingrid who brought a soft vintage flair to her creation.

Vintage is something I personally CAN NOT pull off so when its done so seamlessly with fun pops of color and the beads around the edge I'm totally in love! Both Ingrid and Lisa, please email me Kristy@someoddgirl.com with your user name so I can add your 4 SOG Points for being Favs and get you your Fav's blinkie :)

Thanks so much for playing along and tomorrow will bring our next open challenge that I'm sure you'll love! Remember, using a SOG stamp on your entry will get you two names in the hat so its worth it to play along :) 

Last off, if you haven't stopped by our Facebook page then you have totally missed the pictures of the new stamps that finally made it to my door! Clear Photopolymer in 6 designs each with their own sentiment. We are getting pics and everything ready to go live on the site but take a peek, its exciting times at Some Odd Girl!
