HELLOOOOOOO Odd Friends!

Leah l’Orange here, and WOO HOO!  We are kicking off a brand new week and rounding out September with a super fun CONTEST for all of you, and I can’t tell you how utterly excited I am about this one! 

Today, we introduce “DIGI ME” – a contest that invites you to express yourself and put your ideas together for the next Some Odd Girl digi stamp!

  Digi-Me-blog-header

Many of you offer ideas for new images in our Some Odd Girl Facebook community, or on our blog when we show off new releases, but this one’s EXTRA SPECIAL.  Now through October 23rd (yep, it’s a long one!), we invite you to share your photos and/or collages of ideas for the next Some Odd Girl digi stamp via the following channels:  Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and your Blog

Here’s what you need to do:

1 –Choose your character.   Let us know which character you’d like drawn in this style.

2 –Choose your pose/theme. Is Mae birdwatching?  Is Kody flying a plane?  Is Kaylee doing yoga? 

3 –Pick an outfit! 

4 –Get CREATIVE!

These can be REAL photos, or sketches, or you can assemble a bunch of stuff from the web, or you can post LINKS to pictures, but we want a visual to represent each element. PicMonkey, an online photo editor, or a phone app like Diptic would make it super easy!

For example… Tabbatha wants to see a tech-nerdy Gwen sitting behind her laptop, wearing some cool and chic duds.  Here’s a super detailed Digi Me idea that might inspire you!

OR…  Nicole‘s collage features her sassy and super cute daughter posing with her favorite doll (who looks just like her!) – Tia would be a great choice for this one!

Or how about this?  Mary Pat‘s got a tennis flair, and she posed for the occasion!  So a sporty Mae in tennis mode would be perfect!

We have more examples in the linky for you in case you get stumped, so stay tuned!  Here’s what you do once you have your collage/photos/links ready:

1 – Blog!  Add your blog link(s) to the Linky below. You can post and link 3 times (1 entry per post).

2 – Instagram!  #DigiMeContest and #SomeOddGirl are what we’ll be looking for.  You can enter 3 times on this channel, too.

3 – PIN!  Make a board or add a pin for the contest, and tag with #DigiMeContest and #SomeOddGirl;  3 entries permitted on Pinterest as well.

4 – Facebook! Upload a photo or links to our  Some Odd Girl Facebook community or your own page and tag with #DigiMeContest and #SomeOddGirl!  You add up to 3 ideas there too.

Then come back here and link your entries! Make sure your entries are set to Public because if we can’t see them we can’t pick them. 🙂

Did you catch all that?  You can enter up to 12 TIMES!  And the best part?
We will be picking 1 winner from EACH platform.

Winners will receive their digis prior to the release day and we will invite them to create a
project using that digi.  We’ll feature them as a Guest Odd Girl when the digi is released!

OH, and each winner gets a $20 gift certificate to spend at the Some Odd Girl store!

So there’s your cue, Odd Friends!  Have fun, think outside the box, and get your DIGI ME ON!  🙂

Mornin’, Oddies!  What’s shakin’?

It’s Wednesday, but we’re not complaining about getting over the hump, or anything like that, because we’re already having a great week with our partner, ARC Crafts!  We hope you’ve liked what you’ve seen so far, and that those wheels are turning – the possibilities are ENDLESS with their fabulous wood paper products! 

ARC-Week-badge

We’re in the middle of our week of ‘wooderful’ inspiration, and the Odd Girls have more gorgeous projects to share!  When you’ve finished reading this post, you’ll want to hop on over to the ARC Crafts blog to see what they’re sharing!  Be sure to leave comments on both blogs all week because we have THREE awesome prizes to be won! Sunday will be your last day to comment, so be sure to check out Monday’s posts on our blog and the ARC blog, then Tuesday’s posts with our new digis and Charlet’s woodful card.

So let’s check out today’s creations…

Melissa‘s scene featuring our Horsing Around Mae digi stamp (with sentiment from our Cookies n Milk clear stamp set) is SO gorgeous, isn’t it? I love how she created a fence from the Cherry Wood Tape and the tree looks so realistic with the Rustic Birch Paper!

Nicole went for earthy and used our Forest Goddess digi stamp, which is totally appropriate for these natural wood products!  She said “I loved working with the wood products that ARC Crafts offers. I love that I was able to rip the wood adhesive strip with my hands and get a great look.”

And Stéphanie rocked those Rustic Birch Papers with our Sunny Mae digi stamp.
Love how it cuts!  It’s as smooth as card stock and gives such a warm, rich effect!

Inspiring, no?  🙂 

Are you enjoying this week of Some Odd Girl and ARC crafts goodness? We’re loving these wood products, and we know you will, too!  See you tomorrow for Day 4 of our event, and in the meantime, remember to drop by and say hello in our Facebook group (play along with our current challenge, Stars and Stripes – it’s ending SOON!), and link up ALL projects you create using Some Odd Girl stamps during the month of July to our linky party in the right sidebar!  I’ll be announcing our July winner next week, because our ARC Crafts party wraps up on Friday!

Hey there, Oddies!

Leah here, happy to bring you a couple of little reminders, and a little inspiration!

First of all, there’s a Pinterest contest going on, and it ends TOMORROW!  If you haven’t already checked it out and pinned to your heart’s content, CLICK HERE to see what it’s all about.  We are giving away $20 to spend on ANYTHING you like at the Some Odd Girl store (and I happen to know of some AWESOME new clear and digi stamps that might make your wish list!) – play along and start pinning!

Next, we have the brand new clear stamp sets that were released on Monday, and they’re up for grabs, too!  Click HERE and HERE and leave your comments on each post (be sure to answer the question to be eligible!), and I’ll be announcing our winners on Friday.

In addition to the super cute new clear stamps, we have some
divine digi love this week, starring THIS GIRL, I Heart U Gwen!

We. LOVE. Her!  And our Odd Girl Brianna combined the I Heart U Gwen digi stamp with the Hearts and Love cut file, plus a sentiment from the Flirty Mae clear stamp set for this gorgeous project.  Don’t you love the FRECKLES?!  (I’m a big fan)

And I have a little something special to share, for a friend who just rang the bell for her last treatment!  Congrats, sweet friend!  Here’s a card featuring our Pink Ribbon Mae digi stamp, in celebration of LIFE!

So there you go, friends!  Happy hump day to you, and may the ODD always live within you!
