Some Odd Girl fest :)

Hope it's lovely and white where you are I've loved the weather this week as plenty of staying in and crafting time to be had so I made a date with the new forum over at Some Odd Girl :) they have had 4 challenges this week for their birthday and these are my entries.
You can find the new forum on the new revamped Some Odd Girl website.

All glittered up!

Quick card this evening with an image I coloured last week

this is Rainbow fairy from the new digi release at Some Odd Girl

Bit of a funny angle but wanted to capture the glitter, free hand glitter background and glitter borders for the mats and some basic grey papers to finish off no embelishments tonight thought the glitter was enough :)

take care and have a lovely week only 4 sleeps till the weekend!

A Challenge for the Allsorts DT

Good Morning

This week at Allsorts we were challenge by the lovely B to make a card with a lovely kit she sent us all

we could use as much or as little as we liked it was such a fun challenge and something  a little different for us all...

I used so tweet Kayleigh from SOG and all the rest was the kit from B now the challenge at Allsorts is to use the kit or a DT card for inspiration cant wait to see what happens

Happy Birthday

A quick card I made yesterday hope your not getting tired of these SOG images cause I cant get enough lol!

Have a great Sunday!

Sketch challenge at SOG

I have quickly made this card using the sketch over at the Some Odd Girl  Sketch Challenge

The girls are really flexible with the sketch as you can see my oval wouldn't fit at the bottom so used is as part of the sentiment frame its been really good to have a bit extra time this week for crafty time :)

A little bit more odd girl

Just a quickie share tonight as I have been playing with some new SOG images now I dont know about you but if you have tried SOG images theres just something about them they are so lovely to colour and bold enough to stand alone on a card, they stand up to bold prints yet have a shy sweet persona that is so endearing....

The bols papers are some fab ones from Craftwork cards Vintage Rose Paper Pack and the flower was made using 4 layers of dp from the same pack with 5 smaller daisies cut from matching coredinations and shaped with my ball tool for the centre :)

Happy Monday Everyone

Bloomin Allsorts

Good Morning

It doesn't seem two minutes since I was writing last weeks post and being all excited about going to see the Westlife concert live at the cinema it was fantastic! we had such a good night it was like being at the actual concert, fans clapping and chanting and singing along it was a great evening...

Ok onto my DT card this week for Allsorts and Helene's theme this week is 

IN BLOOM

and here's my card with another Some Odd girl Image Spunky Sprite

I love sitting her on sentiments  and decided on  a non conventional hair colour as she is a fairy after all!

The flowers were made from a Shapeabilities flower creations die I cut three flowers each from a peach and deep cream card stock and rolled each petal round my pokey tool as that's the thinnest tool i had this gave the petals the daisy feel i diecut a small circle for the centre and burnished the reverse with my ball tool to give it a domed effect i repeated the same process with the small dots in the corner these were cut with a bog standard office hole punch. the design paper is from Papermania and Spunky is coloured with promarkers.

Well i've nothing exciting planned today we do however have a rugby game to watch this morning courtesy of Jack and tomorrow we are at a christening so hopefully the weather stays nice for both but ill not count on it lol!

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Some Odd girl for Allsorts

Hi there and good morning!

Another challenge card from me today for Allsorts

The theme from the lovely Jo is 

'Any die will do'

 we want to see lots of dies used on your creations

This is Beach Babe Kaylee and I love colouring her in!!!! you can find her in the SOG store HERE and there's a whopping 25% off this digi image at the moment so $2.25 and so worth it :) ....

Ok the sea and sand were coredinations flower power just measured to the right width and ripped now I know i'm not a rippy kind of crafter but it was an instant sand and water effect with minimum effort and it looks great (imo of course) the sky I made myself on the computer as I didn't have any paper left like this and I didn't want just a plain sky! (not bad eh), the flowers were die-cut from plain white card then coloured shaded and shaped using a ball tool the foliage was die cut from the cordinations too i'm wishing now i'd popped a flower in her hair too I may do that this afternoon ;)

Have a lovely day and I hope you get some crafting done ill leave you with a little clue as to what i'm doing tonight...............

Yes that's right i'm off to watch the live farewell Westlife concert! They are showing the Dublin concert live in cinemas tonight but it was so booked out in leeds that we could only get tickets in Harrogate but we do have VIP seats and I cant wait!

Some Odd Girl on a Friday

HI just a quick share before I venture into the sunny garden with a glass of the pink stuff!

this is a card I made for my dads cousin when we met up at Harrogate a few weeks ago 

The image is a SOG image and is such a  cutie the layout is simple as I feel this is how best to complement the SOG image... a simple sentiment and a few punched butterflies :) 

have a great evening and ill be back in the morning with my Allsorts DT card

Week 145 at Allsorts

God morning guys here is my card for this weeks challenge at Allsorts which this week is 

Say it with flowers

This is the sweet Balloon Kaylee from Some Odd Girl she was a dream to colour and I love to use big blocks of colour with these images so thought the blue flowers against the white background looks quite effective  the flowers where punched from scrap card and coloured and shaped with some tiny pearls in the centre The sentiment is a new set I got and was a bargain £2.50 with four sentiments in it

Quite excited this morning as i'm off out at 3 this aft for birthday drinks with my friends we are meeting in my local then off to xscape for afternoon drinks/cocktails/general liquids ha ha!!!

have a fab weekend!

More Some Odd Girl

On a roll this week I really enjoyed the whole feel of yesterdays card so thought i'd have a go with the other SOG images I bought yesterday :)

Tried to go for block colour as it seems to go well with these images the flower have been die-cut from funky foam I think it gives them great definition....

Stayed with the block colour but in more pastel shades I really like how this one turned out even if I did manage to get green ink on my blue sponge when edging the sky lol...

My Crafting journey continues................
