INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE "CREATE A BOOKMARK OR A TAG"


Hello this Monday morning!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I was able to see my grand kids and see what my son was up to. He is trying to fix up the house he has. It just needs a little work done to it. 

As you see from the title, our challenge is create a bookmark or a tag. I ended up making a tag. The image that I used is called "Snow Drop Fairy."  I don't know if you know but I love angels. Fairies are close enough looking like an angel. So if you see a lot of angels you will know why. 

Let's all get excited this week because we have two sponsors this week. Two Winner's is great. This week the first sponsor is Delicious Doodles.


Delicious Doodles will be giving one lucky winner four digital images. There are wonderful images at their site. The second sponsor is Digital Delights

 

Digital Delights is going to give the other lucky winner a $5.00 Gift Certificate to use at their store. You will have a hard time spending that with all the great images that they have also.

Since I was using the Snow Drop Fairy I wanted to put glitter on the tag. She looks like she is on the ground under all the flowers. That's why I put a little brown on the tag. So, here is my tag I made for this challenge.


Yes I made the picture a little big but I wanted you to see the glitter on the flowers and it's on the background paper also. Here is the items that I used to make this tag.

Base Of The Tag -- The Paper Company
Cardstock -- Close To My Heart
Paper -- The Paper Studio
Glitter -- Ranger (Crystal Ice)
String --  Decorative Trim (Twisted Cord)
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

Well, I'm done for this Monday and I hope you enjoyed the tag. Please go to Incy Wincy Designs Monday Challenge to add your tag or mark book to our challenge. Have a great rest off the week and I will see you next Monday.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 280 " SQUARE CARDS "


Hope your Easter morning is going great and the rest of the day is even better. We are not doing anything today. Our family is not close so we just stay home. That's why I hope you are having a great day with family. Last week I told you about my grand daughter having her 2nd birthday Friday and she had her little party Saturday. She was such a delight to sit and watch all those funny faces she was making as she opened each and every one. You would have thought she was having Christmas with as many gifts that she had. She had more then she needed. It was to the point she was bored with opening them and went for her cake. She never did open those gifts but I'm sure she will get to them to night. Since I was there I went ahead and gave the grandchildren their Easter baskets. That was even more for Remie. It was very cute when she seen the bunny and pulled it out. She gave the bunny a hug and held it while she seen what else was in the bag. It was a great birthday party. I'm going to move forward and start the challenge we are here for.

As we can see we are doing square cards. I don't do many of these because you can't get every thing you want on that one card. Of course, that could just be me. The sponsor this week is one we had before and they have great images. They are Fred, She Said Designs. Take a look at what they have because the image I was so kindly to use is called Morpho-Marigolds. I only found two colors of marigolds so I made the butterfly very bright and colorful. I did an image a long time ago with a butterfly frame from Fred, She Said and it turned out beautiful also.  You should go and see the images if you get a chance. Well, let me tell you what they are offering this week as a prize for the lucky winner this week. 

$10.00 Voucher
To The
Fred, She Said Designs Store

Now I want to show you my card.


I hope you really like it. I forgot that it was a square card this week and had a cute scrapbook layout I was going to start to do. Thank goodness I went back and seen what the challenge really is. I'm still going to make the layout though. When I get it finished I will show you. The marigolds on this card are in three different color combination of yellows and oranges. I did use three colors to make the butterfly but I did decide to outline it in black to make it stand out more. The saying from above is from Psalm 63:7 but it was on the image sheet that I received with my image. I thought it went perfect for the way my card was set up. Let me give you the items that I used so you can get back to family and friends.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart
Paper -- DCWV (The Floral Flair)
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils.

Wasn't a very big list but I still wanted you to have it. Thank You for spending some time to read my post and as always don't forget to put your entries at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and take a look at what the other design team members made for this week's challenge.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 207 "MUST HAVE A HAT IN THE IMAGE"


What a wonderful Sunday morning. We are definitely having a touch of spring here today. The weather men are saying we will have snow in the middle of the week. This is crazy weather and it is messing with my allergies. We just need the weather to stay the same now. Winter should definitely be over by now. Easter is next weekend and it would be nice to have some great weather. Next weekend is going to be really busy. My grand daughter turns 2 on Friday. Her birthday party is on Saturday and then Easter on Sunday. I also need to figure out how to go to the store to get things but I have no car right now. My husband starts a new job tomorrow and he needs the car. We are looking for something in our price range but we are having a hard time with that. The car has to be so old and the mileage has to be low in order to get a loan. Weird how they do things these days.

Well, I want to move on to the challenge this week because I think it is a great one. I have this cute little image that Just Some Lines let me use. It is called EMO -- Flower Filled Day. She is a cute little girl that is wearing this big hat that is bigger then her. She also has flowers that are in front of her. I can't wait to show you this image. Just Some Lines is our sponsor this week and I love the images there. They are adorable. I hope you will check them out. They are giving a generous prize this week for our lucky winner. I'm sure you would like to know. Here it is.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 206 "EASTER"


Good Morning!! I'm seeing sun and it is beautiful. Just wish the temperature would corporate with the sun. I have some great news to tell you all this week. My daughter who is always on the A & B honor roll made it on the all A honor roll. This is a bright girl that does her homework on her own. We never have to ask her to do it. We always had to with the two boys. My boys are a little mad when I talk about her grades. They were never interested in school so I'm glad they went to career centers their junior and senior year. It payed off because they both have good jobs. You still have to give that congratulations to her and I'm so proud of you. She told me yesterday that she would like to go to college in Florida and I said no way. She then says if she gets a scholarship to go to one down there that there is nothing I could do about it. You have to go where you get the scholarship is. There still is no way. She has four years for me to change her mind. 

Well, lets get to the challenge at hand. We are all doing Easter cards and we are getting our images from The GreatRobyn is our sponsor for this week's challenge. She always has great images to work with. The image I chose this week is called Easter Egg. I seen this and thought of a cute card. Cut the card out as an Easter Card. I only did something like this once before so I thought it would be fun to do again. Here is the prize that she will be giving the lucky winner this week.

3 Images

This is a great and generous prize from Robyn. Now let me show you my shape Easter egg card.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart
Stickles -- Ranger (Yellow, Green, X-Mas Red, Crystal Ice)
