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?

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!
