MY GRAFICO IS IN SANTA MODE

MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #141 IS WORKING FOR SANTA

Good Evening!! I hope your week is starting out great. I was doing OK until the company that was to look at our furnace shut it down and made sure the gas was shut off also. It's good that he did but now we have to wait until my landlord decides to put the new one in. I have been feeling bad lately and the carbon monoxide that the furnace was putting out was probably doing it. Now I'm trying to get some electric heaters to put in here for now. I can't go anywhere because I have a daugter in school. Family is to far away to stay with or to crowded to stay there. Things will work themselves out. I truely believe in that.

I was lucky to use the same set that I worked with two weeks ago. It's made by Pixel Paper Prints and the set is Santa Claus. I loved the card that I made then with Santa but now I used the bag of toys. See how many cards you can use from just one set. I could make many cards for people on my Christmas card list. I did call my card Bag Of Toys. Not the most original but I could not think of anything else. Now the set I said was Santa Claus so let me show you what the set looks like again.



We are having another challenge for the next two weeks. It's anything goes because that will be our theme at every challenge. For all the rules just go to My Grafico Challenge Blog. Well here is my Bag of Toys Card.

 

My singing lantern is holding my card. This setting did turn out cute. Well everyone else on our design team will have new cards this week so make sure you visit them also. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you in two weeks with another new set of digital stamps.

 

ROBYN'S FETISH IS HAVING A UNIQUE TECHNIQUE THIS WEEK

BLACK, WHITE, AND ONE OTHER COLOR AT ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #135

 

Good Morning!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with you family and friends. I have to say that this Thanksgiving was one of the best in many, many years. It was nice to sit in the evening and actually relax with stress from the day. My son was back from the east coast and we celebrated his son's birthday. It was late but it just made the day even better. I also spent some time with my mom and grandma. It was great being there. The last time I was there was more then 12 years ago. I feel very blessed with the day I had. It's great to talk about the great things that happen. I now have pictures and memories of this great day.

 

As you can see by my title that our theme is Black, White, and One Other Color. The other color that I used was purple. My favorite color of course. I used the image Brimming Of Flowers from Floppy Latte Digital Designs. She is just a silhouette with flowers in her hair. The flowers are white in her hair. This was a great technique because I could actually pick the third color. Everyone has a favorite color, so this will be a great challenge for you to participate in. Here is what Floppy Latte Digital Designs.

Here is the card I made with my image:

 

 

In the middle of the brads is the background paper. It's a fun technique that I found where they give you all the parts and I put the paper in the middle. I hope you like it. Make sure you put your projects at the post on Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. You can also see the other design teams cards there or you can go to their blogs and let them know what a great job they did. Have a wonderful Sunday and a great week!!

ROBYN'S FETISH GOES VINTAGE

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 134

 

Good Afternoon to everyone!! I'm so sorry that this was not posted here this morning like I usually have it. This has been one eventful weekend and it was not all that pleasant. My hands and arms are welted and bruised from my dog. She is a pure bred Siberian Husky. She wasn't attacking me. She was in

a lot of pain and I was trying to hold her down. She somehow got the clasp of the chain stuck on her leg by the Achilles heel. It took me, my husband and my son over an hour to get the chains cut to get her to a vet for them to get this clasp out of her leg. They were able to get it off and we just have to watch her for a day or two to make sure that she doesn't start favoring her leg. I'm just glad that she is OK. She is a great dog.

 

Now I have told my story let's get to the challenge this week. It's all about vintage. I used an image called Sentiment Flower from the designer A Day for Daisies. I loved this image because you could use the middle for a picture or a poem. I put a little saying in the middle. I know that I miss spelled I'd in the beginning but I didn't notice until the whole card was finished. I forgot to hit that spelling button. Let me tell you what A Day for Daisies is giving the winner of this challenge.

 

$12 Gift Card

to the

A Day For Daisies Shop

 

Here is my card that I made.

 

 

I hope you like the card. I do apologize for the misspelling. Make sure when you enter your projects you go to The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. I know I say this every week but you should check out the other Design Teams blogs to see their beautiful projects. Good Luck and have a Wonderful Week.

ROBYNS FETISH CHALLENGE #133 WITH ANYTHING GOES

ANY THING GOES AT THE ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE BLOG

 

Well it's another beautiful Sunday here in Ohio. I'm still thinking of all the people on the east coast though. People are still out of power. That is way to long to go without power. I know how people are feeling over there because my son is still in New York helping to get power on. He's been there since the day after Sandy hit. He's very tired but just keeps on going. Saturday was his son's third birthday and he's not here to enjoy it. He did get to video chat with him so that was great. I want to wish my grandson a Happy Birthday because I won't get to see him until his dad comes home. I miss them a lot and it's not the same around here without them.

 

This week is every one's favorite challenge. ANYTHING GOES!! I really enjoyed this week that I could do what ever I wanted. The designer that we used was Robyn at Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. She has more great digital stamps that you really need to see. She always has great images. The image that I used this week is Charlie Christmas Bear. He is so adorable and was really great to work with. So, with anything goes, I'm sure you want to know the prize you are trying to win this week.

Good Morning to everyone!! I want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone that is affected by the Hurricane Sandy. I see all the news that is going on on the east coast and it's not easy to watch. I very good friends in New Jersey that I have not heard from and my son is working over there with the electric companies to help restore power. It takes so much time at what they are doing that I hope people understand. This is just so devastating.

 

As the title says, we are making manly cards this week. I guess I tend to make cards for kids and other types but not much for the men in my family. I was shocked that my dad wanted to see the cards that I make. So there is a need out there for them. Ok, the designer this week that we worked with is The Crafty Pad.
