Dance to the Music - Some Odd Girl Challenge and BLOG CANDY!!!

Hi ya everyone,
  So if you haven't yet - please don't forget to leave a comment under the giveaway post found HERE.  I only have 25 comments so far!  This is your chance to WIN $25 of free product!  So don't forget!!!  
 I was so hoping to squeeze time for this card and I did it!!  I love the challenges at Some Odd Girl.  This week it's make your own embellishments.  So I chose this adorable image called Dancin Mae - you can find her right HERE at Some Odd Girl (OH they are also having a new release tomorrow and I CAN'T WAIT to SHOP!  I colored her in my Copics. 
After I colored the background I went over the blue with my colorless blender for clouds then added a bit of Zig glue and Martha Stewart Crystal fine glitter.  I also took my white gelly role and dotted the cheeks and whitened the ear buds of her mp3.
Since the challenge at SOG is to add your own homemade embellishments I made these little flowers using a small flower punch and some cinnamon colored pearls.  All my papers are from an AMAZING stack called Walk In The Park by Echo Park!!! GORGEOUS!  I also made these little music notes using white pearls and my gelly role pen.
On the maroon Echo Park paper I used my Martha Steward border punch to make a little flower border before adding my matching ribbon.
I layered all my papers and used my oval nestable and oval scalloped nestable for Mae.  This was a quick card because I really wanted to enter it into the challenge this week!
If you get time head over to the Some Odd Girl challenge blog and join the fun!!  Love their design team they are so inspirational!!!
