My Challenge to You: Rock The Vote!

I'm back to let you know about a lot of fun challenges. Odd Bird Planet Design Team members will be hosting challenges all day Saturday (see this thread.)


My challenge: Rock The Vote! which you can interpret any way you like. Make a card, tag, or whatever with the theme and upload it onto your blog or in the OBP gallery by midnight PST on October 5th. Please share the link with me in the comment section of this post. Enter as many times as you like.

The Prize: I'll randomly draw a winner from all the entries to win an OBP stamp. And, your name will be submitted for some awesome prizes from OBP:

One winner will receive a $100 OBP shopping spree

o One winner will receive one Lime Tart kit

o One winner will receive all of the stamps in the October Special Deal

Stamps I used in my sample: OBP Colonial Bird Right and Left, sometimes I can be such a birdbrain.

Oh Baby

I love making baby cards. For this one I used OBP Waltzing Mathilda alphabet with some Prima flowers, Making Memories paper, ProvoCraft star brads, DCWV cardstock and white satin ribbon.

I can hardly wait to get my hands on the new OBP baby images. A couple months ago, Johanna asked if we had any image requests and I said a baby pram. Check this out. I'm so excited. It's exactly what I had in mind. I think it will be lots of fun putting different characters inside.

Trying Something New

I'm not much of a technique gal so this is a big step for me. I watercolored OBP Ellie Left using water, a paintbrush and my inkpads. I was going for a vintage look.

I'm In Stitches

I made this card for the SCS Inspiration Challenge a few weeks ago. My photo looks bad so I'll describe the card. The base is brown cardstock. On top of that is white cardstock that I handstitched with red embroidery floss. On the squares, I stamped Odd Bird Planet Scrolly Border, Shrubbery, Flourish Right and Thank You with brown ink.
On the left, my niece talking on her zucchini phone. I swear we check our 3 zucchini plants daily but somehow this guy was missed. We had zucchini enchiladas for dinner tonight and I think there will be zucchini pancakes in the morning.

Look "Woo's" Coming Soon

Odd Bird Planet will be releasing lots of new images on August 1 in the newsletter. Add your email address here to get the announcement in your inbox. In the meantime, on the left is Kaylea's Space Owl (which my niece nicknamed "Spacey"). She is thrilled to have her drawing made into a stamp.

Check out the other OBP Design Team Member's blogs for more sneak previews.

A Little Christmas in July

One of the challenging things about design team assignments is that often you are working several seasons ahead. I had a hard time thinking about Christmas when I needed to work on these so I watched a Christmas movie to help set the mood.
I used Flair Designs Holly Jolly Collection O Christmas Tree and Cardstock stickers with Odd Bird Planet Lacy Circle Medium.
On this one I used Flair Designs Holly Jolly Collection Holly Jolly Stripe paper with more Cardstock stickers and OBP Joy to the World sentiment.

Flair also has a new line of Christmas paper called Merry Little Christmas. I am in love with the Holly Berries paper.
