FOR SOME ODD GIRL BLOG HOP CLICK HERE
Tuesday was open a new challenge on Deep Ocean Challenge blog, this time the LACE has the leading role, protagonist of a lot of creations and lovely works, and best friend of vintage lovers.
Loved by all, our nannies or grandmothers have a lot of it on their skirt or dressing gown, always in our mind when we think about Romantic period, or the ribbons in the hair of young girls at the end of 18OO, or the hem lines of white blouses of women at the beginning of 20th century, or old vintage photoes of our grandparents around years 20'-30'...
in every side you watch it, the lace is always fantastic, so lovely and chic, and we want give it a big thanks for help our creations to be wonderful, beautiful and sweet (or sexy)!This time we want see how you interpretate this great theme, with ribbon or fabric it isn't important, must only be lace on your creation!
My interpretation for this theme coincides with a commission that asked me a card for a wedding: the bride, a dear friend of the girl who asked me this, is an "England lover" so I decided to tribute her with the same colours of english flag; the tag on the left is for write the newly weds, obviusly.
Materiali/Tools

It's me again, today, show you another Gwen's outift by SomeOddGirl... isn't this so versatile?!? Yestarday was in "rainbow dress" mode (as I like call her), today instead she's a sweet girl who gives you a package... We said yesterday, on SomeOddGirl page, that we were looking for some versatility here, so can't you imagine this Gwen for just about ANY occasion?! Birthday, anniversary, Valentine's day, Christmas... or just a day like the other in the year, but so special for you... That might even be a box of chocolates she's holding... or a gift... or a bomb!!! Ahahah no, no, she's too much sweet for this, I'm joking!! ;D
Remember, if you PRE-order any of this week's release by TOMORROW, you save a dollar (on already reduced prices!), so if you love 'em, grab 'em!
Sooo, what are you waiting for?! Go, go!!
Visit this page to see what DT created with this lovely stamp... you'll wonder, my word.
Sono ancora io, oggi, a mostrarvi un'altra mise dell'adorabile Gwen, marchiata SomeOddGirl... non è versatilissima?!? Ieri era in modalità "vestito arcobaleno" (come mi piace chiamarla), oggi invece è una dolce ragazza che vi dona un pacchetto... Abbiamo detto ieri sulla pagina SomeOddGirl che stiamo cercando di mettere più versatilità nei nostri timbri, bene, non riuscite immaginate questa Gwen per ogni occasione?! Compleanno, anniversario, giorno di San Valentino, Natale... o solo un giorno come tanti altri nell'anno, ma speciale per te... Potrebbe ad esempio essere una scatola di cioccolatini ciò che sta tenendo in mano... o un regalo... o una bomba!! Ahahah no, no, è troppo dolce per questo, sto scherzando!! ;D
Ricordate, se PRE-ordinate qualcuno delle uscite di questa settimana per DOMANI, risparmierete un dollare (almeno ridurrete il prezzo!), quindi se li amate, prendeteli!
Insomma... che state aspettando?! Andate, andate!!
Visitate questa pagina per vedere ciò che è stato capace di realizzare il DT con questi adorabili timbri... vi meraviglierete, parola mia.
Gifty Gwen
and my interpretation of her:
... there are new clear stamps on pre-order on SomeOddGirl.com!! This time our powerhouse of ideas Kristy (the stamp-master) created some new stamps for next holidays (I'm so excited waiting them!) and there is a new Odd Girl too, Gwen, sooooo sweet and cute! She's a curly girl with a fun vintage flair and a kooky attitude, and I'm sure you're going to love her! This pre-order for new releases started on monday, and every day until friday will be presented a new stamp (last day we'll welcome to new two big set)... you must know that you can pre-order any of the holiday stamps thru Friday at $1 off! AND all of our clear stamps are at a new price, same premium Clear Photopolymer Stamps, new price, so what are you waiting for??! Jump on the blog, meet them and allow yourself to wonder for these new incredible characters and for DT's creations.
... ci sono nuovi timbri clear in pre-ordine su SomeOddGirl.com!! Questa volta il nostro vulcano di idee Kristy (la stamp-master) ha creato alcuni nuovi timbri per le prossime vacanze natalizie (sono così eccitata, le aspetto da tantissimo tempo!) e c'è anche una nuova Odd Girl, Gwen, moooooolto dolce e carina! E' una ragazza riccioluta con un divertente stile vintage e un'attitudine alla pazzia (?), e sono sicura che la amerete! Questo pre-order per il nuovo rilascio è cominciato lunedì, e ogni giorno fino a venerdì sarà presentato un nuovo timbro (l'ultimo giorno ci sarà il benvenuto ai due mega set)... dovete sapere che potete pre-ordinare ognuno dei timbri natalizi fino a venerdì con lo sconto di 1$!

Saltate sul blog, conoscete i nuovi timbri e permettetevi di meravigliarvi per questi nuovi stupendi personaggi e per le creazioni del DT.
Good morning,
another day, another work; this time I made a combo between a card and a bookmark. A girl asked me these two coordinated creations for her son's birthday, this little boy plays basketball and he totally loves it (I'm an ex-player too, so I can understand his passion), so why don't create something about this sport?!? The little champion is going to celebrate his 8th year in this world, I think this is an important age, so we must celebrate it with joy and happiness; I decided to use the famous colours of basket: orange, black and brown, and seen that we are in Fall period, I was so ispiring from this colours! A lot of buttons and star complete the scene... for a brilliant and shining career in this sport!
Buondì,
un altro giorno, un altro lavoro; questa volta ho fatto una combo tra una card e un segnalibro. Una ragazza mi ha chiesto queste due creazioni coordinat per il compleanno di suo figlio, il piccolo gioca a basket e ne è totalmente innamorato (sono anche io una ex-giocatrice, quindi posso comprendere la sua passione), così perchè non creare qualcosa attorno a questo sport?!? Il piccolo campione dovrà festeggiare il suo ottavo anno in questo mondo, penso che questa sia un'età importante, quindi dobbiamo festeggiarla in grande, con gioia e felicità; ho decido di usare i famosi colori del basket: arancione, nero e marrone, e visto che siamo nel periodo autunnale, sono stata molto ispirata da questi colori! Tanti bottoni e stelle completano il tutto... per una carriera brillante e splendente in questo sport!
For my english friend : the sentiment is in italian language,traducing it's written "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE CHAMPION!"Materiali/Tools
stamps: The Greeting Farm "Dylan" from set "Roll Call"

Buonasera,
sono qui per segnalarvi due nuovi challenge: il primo è il sesto challenge di Deep Ocean con il tema "Light Blue" (iniziato martedì 16 agosto, ma lo scrivo oggi visto che ero in vacanza) e quello della Some Odd Girl (fresco fresco di giornata) con il tema "Paper Piecing" ... che dire, non sono bellissimi?! Ispirazioni a go-gò, insomma, soprattutto se passate a vedere ciò che i compenenti dei due DT sono stati capaci di realizzare... Rimarrete a bocca aperta!Per quanto riguarda Deep Ocean, le regole sono sempre le stesse: card, LO, easel card, segnalibri, shaker card, qualunque cosa sia cartacea è accettata, non c'è limite per l'entrate per singola persona, NON backlinkare (mi raccomandooo!!), scrivere nel post sul proprio blog che si partecipa al challenge e iscriversi tramite InLinkz in questa pagina. Vorrei vedere tanta, tanta partecipazione ai challenge di questo gruppo, purtroppo però mi rendo conto che siamo ancora un po' sconosciuti (siamo anche in estate, va ammesso, quindi molti adesso sono con i piedi in acqua salata e la testa altrove).
Tutti conoscono la tecnica del Paper Piecing (io l'ho usata sul cappuccio e sui pantaloni, ingrandite la foto per vedere meglio), per questo sono sicura che non c'è bisogno che ve la spieghi (ma se mi sbaglio correggetemi eh), quindi senza altro indugio vi presento il challenge iniziato oggi, indetto da Some Odd Girl: il fortunato vincitore si porterà a casa alcuni timbri a scelta (ovviamente marchiati SOG) e come al solito ci sarà l'ardua scelta dei due preferiti. Quindi, forbici alla mano, tagliuzzate un po' di carta e inventatevi un colorato vestito floreale per Mae o Tia, o un divertente paio di pantaloni estivi per Kody! Divertitevi e non risparmiate la vostra fantasia!!
Di seguito le card che ho realizzato per entrambe le occasioni, voglio commenti sinceri e spassionati, e mi fareste un grande, grandissimo piacere se passaste per i blog dei DT member per lasciare un po' d'amore... un abbraccio forte! Elena

Goodevening,
I'm here for put the spotlight on two new challenges: first is Deep Ocean's sixth challenge with the theme "Light Blue" (started tuesday 16 August, but i must write about today seen that I was in holiday) and Some Odd Girl's challenge (fresh daily) with the theme "Paper Piecing" ... what can I say, aren't they beautiful?! Inspirations a go-go, in short, especially if you pass to see what the DT members made... Wow, your mouths will remain open for hours, I swear!About Deep Ocean, the rules are the same: card, LO, easel card, bookmarks, shaker card, everything that is paper and material is ok, there is no limit for the entries for each person, NOT backlinking (you'd better do not this), write in the post on own blog that the project competes to challenge and enter own name, link (the post, not the blog) and mail trought InLinkz on this page. I would see a lot of entries on this group, but I realize that we are still a little unknown (we are in summer now, too, so a lot of people have the feet under the salt water and are miles away).Everybody know Paper Piecing tecnique (I used it on cap and pants, enlarge the photo for see details), for this I can’t see the need to talk about (but if I wrong, tell me, ok?!), so without more delay I introduce you the challenge started today, created by Some Odd Girl:The lucky winner will bring at home some stamps of his choice (by SOG) and as usual there will be the hard choice of favourites. So, be ready at scissor point (hope you understand what I want say), cut a little of paper and devise a flower colored dress for Mae o Tia, or a funny summery pants fo Kody or Tobie!! Let's fun and don't economize your fantasy!!
Folow up the cards I made for both the occasions, I want honest and impartial comments, and do me a big, big favour passing by DT member's blogs spreading love and a lots of adorable comments...
a big hug! Elena
