Happy Fright Night

Hey!  Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Mine isn't going quite as planned, but I'm hanging in there.  I'm cutting it close, but I'm here with Day 4 of my 13 Days of Halloween!

Day 4: Happy Fright Night

I have been enjoying making Halloween cards with the Some Odd Girl images I had already colored in my stash, but last night I couldn't sleep so I got up and colored two more images.  Today's card features one of them.  This is Vampiress and I gave her blue hair because I can and she seemed cool like that.  All dies are La-La Land Crafts EXCEPT the awesome coffin is from Michaels' Recollections brand, the "fright" is from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits set called Vintage Spirits, and Drip Edge is also a Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits die.  I created the sentiment by combining stamps from a Michaels Recollections set with the diecut word.

This one was a lot of fun!  Hopefully I'll have more Halloween goodness to share with you tomorrow!  Have a fang-tastic day!

Thanks!

Bride of Frankie

Hi!  Back with my second day on our countdown to Halloween!

Day 2: Bride of Frankie

Mini Bride of Frankenstein is another Some Odd Girl image I had colored awhile ago who is finally finding a home on a card!  All dies are from La-La Land Crafts.

I was Mrs. Frankenstein for Halloween the year my son was little Frankenstein.  He was only 2 years old and the cutest Frankenstein I've ever seen!  It snowed that year (usually early) and, if memory serves, we had at least a foot of white stuff on the ground for Halloween.  Some communities had downed trees and/or lost power.  Trick or Treating was delayed in many communities because of it.  I was not too happy, Halloween being my favorite holiday, but it worked out.  We ended up going trick or treating twice!  I couldn't find any pictures of me in my costume but here's Kayne as The Monster.

Thanks for taking a look!  I'm off to be productive and maybe get my Halloween crafting in so I have something to share with you tomorrow!  Hope your day is frightfully fun!

Wicked

Hello!  I've been in a crafting slump this year!  To attempt to revitalize myself I am challenging myself to post a Halloween coloring, card, or creation (baking counts too) for the next thirteen days as we countdown to Halloween!

Day 1: Wicked

I colored Witchy Mae some time ago during one of the Some Odd Girl coloring challenges (which I was too lame to participate in this time) and I'm finally getting her on a card! Dies are a mix of La-La Land Crafts, Spellbinders, SugarPea Designs, and Stampin' Up.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and even though I was tired from a long work week it made me happy to create this card!  

I'm almost ready for Halloween!  Are you?  I've been decorated since late August but I keep adding things!  Costumes were finally sorted today and candy was purchased for those who visit our house on Halloween night!

Do you have your costumes planned in advance? Or are you last minute kind of people?  I drive my son nuts when I start talking about costumes in July, but it has to be done!  Lol

Have a Spook-tacular day!  Check back tomorrow to see how I do with my challenge...

Some Odd Girl November 2018 Release Recap

Hi there!  December is almost here!  But before we say good-bye to November, it's time to recap the new release images from Some Odd Girl.  Today's post is a special one because it is also my last one as a design team member.  I have so enjoyed my time on the team!  Thanks you to Kristy and Melissa for having me and to my super sweet and supportive teammates!  It's been such an honor to create among such talent!

Kristy released two images this month, one of which was a two image set!  Skaters Tia and Tobie are perfect, together or alone, for all those winter themed projects.  Here is the card I made using them both.

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Mini Present Elf

Hi!  As I type this by the twinkle of my Christmas lights we are getting our first snowfall of the season!  What better time to think about holiday gift giving options and the fun things you can create!  Whether it's ornaments, gifts, cards, tags, bags, or gift card holders, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination (okay, and maybe by your time and bank account too)!

I decided to color the sweet little Mini Present Elf and turn her into a gift card holder!

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Tiny Magician Tobie

Hi!  It's been a rough week for me with the time change.  My natural rhythms are all off and all I want to do at the end of the day is read or sleep.  I managed a movie last night and that was a major accomplishment!  I haven't done much crafting but I do have my weekly Some Odd Girl design team inspiration to share with you!  I needed a good-bye card for a Harry Potter fan so I colored up Tiny Magician Tobie.

Trick or Treat with the Odd Girls

Happy Halloween!  Over at Some Odd Girl we've been celebrating ODDtober Fest all month long and today we have a fun blog hop for you to partake in!

*Doorbell Rings**

Welcome to our annual Trick or Treat with the Odd Girls! 

Our hop is full of spooktacular Tricks and Treats. Don’t worry, the tricks won’t be too scary. And just like trick or treating for candy, you don’t want to skip any house, or blogs in this case. Every stop along the way will have (crafty) tricks for you but you won’t get the treats unless you are a good trick or treater and stop at every house and leave your comment. 

Kristy challenged us to use an image in an unexpected way or for an unexpected occasion.  Are you ready to see how far the team has taken that directive?!?!

I used Big Kiss Kody and Mae for my card.  Mae knows what she wants and she's going for it!  I love the surprised look on Kody's face and I thought, wow, imagine if Mae was a vampire!  I colored her skin in pale grays, her hair in black with blue undertones, and added that little red trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth.  I think that is a valid reason for Kody to look startled, maybe bordering on alarmed!  Lol

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Mini Mummy

Hello!  It's time for me to share my Some Odd Girl design team inspiration with you!  Since it's October we're all in Halloween mode this month!  Kristy churned out quite a few awesome cute and creepy minis last month and I'm showing one off to you today!  

This is Mini Mummy!  He is colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I used some green to give him a sort of radioactive glow then I added some "slime" to the card with the Tim Holtz Drip Edge Thinlit die (Sizzix).

Hey there!  Today is my day to share some design team inspiration for Some Odd Girl!  I am still in Halloween mode in every way, but Kristy created some cute holiday minis and I couldn't resist sneaking in a Christmas card!

Hi!  It's my favorite month and I have been far too quiet so far! Work has been insane and I've been too tired to craft and blog, but today I have a Some Odd Girl design team project to share with you! This card features one of the awesome Halloween minis that Kristy churned out last month! This cutie is Pajama Zombie. Which, ironically, is what I've felt like every night for the past two weeks! Lol

Hello!  As September creeps to a close my thoughts are happily preoccupied with all things Halloween!  I have lots of fun planned in October and I can't wait!  In the meantime, I have to be content with Halloween crafting!

Today I am sharing my Some Odd Girl design team inspiration!  Kristy has been furiously drawing all these awesome Halloween minis all month!  I've lost count, but I think we're up to 12 now...  There is every spooky Halloween creature you could want!  From a witch to a vampire to a werewolf to zombies to...  The Headless Horseman!  He is one of my favorite Halloween characters so you know I had to color him up and get him on a card!

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Mini Vampire in his Creepy Coffin

Hey there!  I'm back, this time with a little Some Odd Girl inspiration!  Kristy has been on a kick drawing these adorably creepy Halloween minis!  If you haven't checked them out in the shop, you should!  I LOVE Halloween! (I'm already decorated for it here!)  It's my favorite holiday and we do it BIG so I've been happy to be crafting for it!

Today I'm using Mini Vampire for a fun project that also features a FREE template from the Some Odd Girl shop.  This little coffin shaped treat box was made with the Creepy Coffin Template found HERE.  It was super easy to cut out, fold, and assemble!  I used a background stamp for a bit of texture on the cover then added some die cuts to decorate it.

Some Odd Girl Design Team Inspiration: Mini Witch

Hello!  Checking in with you on my posting day for Some Odd Girl!  It's September so we all know what that means...  My Halloween decorations are up and my brain is full of witches, vampires, zombies, jack o'lanterns, and candy!  And I will be crafting accordingly!

Kristy over at Some Odd Girl has been busy drawing up an adorable set of Halloween Minis! She has released NINE of them so far and I don't think she's anywhere near done!  I've colored a few of them up already and decided to use the Mini Witch for a card.  I also colored a Make It Crafty chipboard sentiment with one of my Copics and then added Yellow Stickles on top of it for a sparkly greeting on the front of the card!

Some Odd Girl August 2018 Release Recap

Hello!  August has been a busy month!  I had a birthday, we were away at the beach, and I've been non-stop coloring my butt off!  Some Odd Girl released a bunch of adorable new "minis" and had a 12 Days of Coloring challenge in our Facebook group!  Today I'm showing off a few of my creations using the new release images that I colored up during the challenge!  If you head over to the Some Odd Girl blog you can find the August Release Recap post HERE!

I kept all of these cards pretty simple with just a couple of dies.

First up is one of the Mini Summer Girls.  This cute pair are ready for fun in the sun!  And with the temperatures as hot as they have been this week, it seems we're not ready to say goodbye to Summer just yet!  She is colored with Copics and fussy cut.
