Happy Hol-ODD-day from Some Odd Girl

Hello December,

Hello Oddies, welcome to Day 1 of our Hol-ODD-Day Hop!

We Odd Girls have joined together for a fun event for EVERYONE - not just because you get to hop, but because you get to PARTICIPATE and share your own holiday creations.  So glad you've joined us for our 3rd annual Hol-ODD-Day Hop!

We mixed things up a bit to bring you a nice variety of holiday projects that we hope will inspire you.  You can comment on all of the blogs, participate by linking your own below (to be eligible to win, be sure you link to us in your post), and comment throughout the event on other people's links as well!  And there will be PRESENTS!  The hop goes from now through Friday, December 12th, and we'll be announcing 3 winners next Wednesday, December 17th, so you have plenty of time to comment between now and then!  Our Hol-ODD-Day Hop link party will close at midnight on Friday the 12th.

Its Nicole here with a fun holiday project for the whole family join in on or just the kids if you choose. Last year we stated the tradition of creating a Wist List mini book. My daughter would sit with all the current toy magazines and cut out the toys she wants for Christmas. Then we would create a mini album and glue all the pictures inside the book. She would then decorate the front and back of her book with crafty supplies and a little help from me. Each member of the family can create a wish list mini book. Our wish list mini books are stored in that years December Daily.

Below are photos of this years wish list mini book featuring Sweater Kaylee. Colored by my 6 year old daughter. I also used Some Odd Girl twine and hexagon wood veneers.

Quick Instructions (photo tutorial is posted on the Some Odd Girl blog)

1- Pick out 3 12 x 12 card-stock papers. 

2- Cut each paper down to 7 x 12 (you can change the size to fit your crafty needs).

3- Fold each sheet in half.

4- Lay paper 1 on your craft table.

5- Adhere side 2a to 1a.

6- Then adhere side 3a to 2b and side 3b to 1b.

7- Decorate the front and back cover of your mini book (Design side 1a is your front cover and design size 1b is your back cover).

Tip: Have much family member color a stamped image in their wish list mini book, so you can view their color progress over the year.

Check out my daughters progress from last year to this year.

Today, all of the Odd Girls have projects to share for the big event, so you can visit their blogs to see all the action happening.  Here's the hop list for our awesome team:

Vs Sweet challenge # 29

Hello December,

It's December 1st which means a new challenge at Vs Sweetideas and it's time to start the countdown to Christmas.

This months theme is Christmas. More details on this months challenge is on V's Sweet Challenge Blog. I have created an advert calendar for this months project. This year I wanted to create an advert calendar and search Pinterst for some inspiration. 

I went to Micheals to look for a base for our advert calendar and found the American Girl cube jewelry case. A few days later i had created this..,,,,

                

                                               Close Up pictures

                

      The center of the advert calendar features some of V's Sweet ideas new snow sequins.

                             

The paper collection I used is the Lawn Fawn:Snow Day collection available at V's Sweet Ideas shop. For the numbers I used many different Thickers. I also used Sweet dots from V's shop. The printed chipboard aqua letters are available at V's Sweet Ideas shop.  I painted the box white since it was purple.

More project detail to come soon.


Thanks so muck for stopping by and I hope you join in on this months December challenge.

Giving THANKS Some Odd Girl style

Hello, 

It's THANKful week over on the Some Odd Girl blog. I hope you take the time to head over there and check out the awesome design team projects. 

For me Thanksgiving is a time to spend time with the family and think about the things that I'm Thankful for. It's also the start of the Christmas Season and I go into creative overload for the Christmas season. Before I show you my holiday ornament card I'd like to post a link to a thankful project that I created which is posted on the Some Odd Girl blog HERE. This project is great and simple. It gets the whole family involved. 

Now on to the ornament card.....

                                  

Card Details: I used a Spellbinders Ornament die and a My Favorite Things star die to create the stars. The pattern paper is from Some Odd Girl (Sunshine Sorbet) and so is the twine. The sentiment is from a oldie but good Some Odd Girl stamp set (Ornament Tia). The sweet dots are from V's Sweet shop. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. 

I'd love to wish you and your family a very wonderful 

Thanksgiving Day.
