Some Odd Girl September Sketch & Dies Challenge

Hi friends. Just a quick post to share the card I created for the Some Odd Girl September Sketch challenge as well as for our Tuesday challenge at Some Odd World, "Use your Dies". I battled to photograph this card for some reason, "Shy Fairy's" skin is a bit less orange IRL! :)

Sketch # 21 at SCRAP AFRICA!

Happy Spring to all of those in the Southern Hemisphere!! Yesterday and today have been absolutely gorgeous days weather wise here in my little corner of the world. I hope you are enjoying the weather wherever you may be!

Today I am here to share my take on the latest sketch at SCRAP AFRICA. I put this layout together a little while back, it was a Friday afternoon, and I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon of crafting. I love the whole concept behind scrapbooking, and I am so glad it is a big part of my life!

 

 

 This layout makes me smile!! These photos were taken in January this year, before my oldest boy went back to school. As you can see, he hadn't had his back-to-school haircut yet ;)

This is our sketch for September:

 

Look at the awesome prizes up for grabs for 2 lucky randomly selected participants in this challenge!!

 

 

We would LOVE for you to play along with us!!!! You have until September the 14th to do so, once you are done, link your project to the SCRAP AFRICA BLOG.

I can't wait to see what you create :)

The big gorgeous chipboard scroll is by Enmarc Crafts (Page Corner: LOVE) and the little chipboard Badger is by  K & Company. The stamps I used are a set I have had in the stash f-o-r-e-v-e-r and haven't used in years!!

New digi releases from Some Odd Girl!

It's Tuesday and that means it's digi day at Some Odd Girl. I am so excited to be posting this, these new images are ADORABLE. I know they will appeal to a lot of you crafty ladies out there!!!

First up is - PHONE CALL MAE, isn't she too adorable chatting up a  storm with her BFF!! This image is perfect to use on a card for a friend who is far away! She really is perfect to let someone know you would LOVE to chat to them!

 

 

 

 

I tried to make this card super girly!! Mae is such a purdy girl isn't she!?!

Next up is - JOGGER MAE! Mae has decided she has spent too much time talking on the phone, and she needs to get active!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this image. I am a jogger myself (or at least I try to be:), so this new image totally "speaks" to me and my fitness conscious self!!

 

 

 

For this card I tried to go with more a sporty athletic vibe! The circle behind Mae's head reminds me of the sun rising, Mae likes to exercise early :) Both the sentiments I used were printed out on the computer.

So what do you think?!? Aren't they just the nicest images?!? I LURVE them lots!! If you are a SOME ODD GIRL fan, why not join our Ning Community (Some Odd World), it is so much fun!!

If you are interested in dashing off to buy either of these gorgeous images, head HERE!!

I hope you have enjoyed your time here at my blog, it was so nice that you visited!! :)
