FRIDAY!  Happy end of the week and start of the weekend, Oddies!  Have you already hopped with the Odd Girls and the Fawnies?  There’s still time to get in on the fun, because we’re hopping through Monday night and there’s some SERIOUS inspiration to be found along the hop!  CLICK HERE to get started at the Freckled Fawn blog!

Leah joining you as we wind down from a very busy and exciting week at Some Odd Girl!  Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten that we have some winners to announce!  Before I get to our April linky party shout-outs, I have spotted some totally drool-worthy projects around our Facebook community, and I REEEEEALLY need to share them with you.  Get ready for some jaw-droppin’ spotlight action!  Here we go!

Olivia, holy cow.  What you did with our girl, Umbrella Gwen…  just stunning!  The papers you used are fantastic, the carefully placed paper piecing, the CAS design of the card itself.  All of it just makes for one GORGEOUS creation!

And Lina!  OH MY GOOMIE!  Girl, you have been a busy Oddie!  You rocked the heck out of our Party Crab digi stamp and these might be the happiest of happy birthday cards I’ve ever seen!  The rainbow crab at the bottom right is KILLING me, and you clearly have an enviable paper collection!  🙂

Seriously.  If you haven’t checked out our little Facebook community, you are REALLY missing out!  Isn’t it obvious that there’s great stuff happening there?  CLICK HERE to join us and share your ideas for new clear or digi stamps, plus talk about your toaster oven and Pony beads experiences.  😉  It’s really where all the cool kids are hanging out.

Okay, so it’s time to announce our winners!  For our April Linky Party winners, I’m sticking with our traditional prizes, but from May forward, I’ll be varying it up a bit, so play along and watch for it!

Congrats to these lucky crafters who linked up during the month of April…

Kim Rippere created THIS lovely little thing using the gorgeous Brella Fairy digi stamp …  LOVE the little raindrops and the fab texture achieved with the layers and the pencil coloring!  Kim, you were randomly drawn fro all the entries, and you’ve won 3 digis of your choice from the Some Odd Girl store!  🙂

And our favorite project submitted for the April linky party…  Susny!  As our fave, you get to choose ANY clear stamp set from the shop – woo hoo!  LOOK at this.  Just LOOK at it!  The whole thing is just fabulous.  She used a fun sketch and added lots of interesting angles and patterns, and I can’t help but swoon over the colors.  Yeah, I know, I’m biased because it’s ORANGE, but seriously, what’s NOT to love about this card, featuring our girl, Summer Kaylee digi stamp?!  And orange and grey?!  Grey is the new black, right?  Okay, enough gushing.  Just feast your eyes on THIS:

So, ladies, CONGRATULATIONS!  To our well-deserved spotlights, and to our fun and fabulous winners!   Kim and Susny, please email Kristy@someoddgirl.com so she can get you all set to redeem your prizes!  Thanks to EVERYONE who linked up in April, and we can’t wait to see what magic you share throughout May!  The party is already underway, and there’s a new Favorite Colors challenge going on in the Facebook community.
