INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE


Hello!! It's Monday so we are here for another Monday Challenge with Incy Wincy. Our heme this week is "Make Us Laugh." This is great. My family always says I'm a jokester. I love funny things that my kids even think I'm crazy. 

This week we have two sponsors to win prizes from. Our first sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps. Love getting stamps from here. There are great images that make you laugh at their store. This is the place you want to go to if you want a funny image. Bugaboo Stamps is offering to one of the winner's 7 digital stamps. This is a great prize to create for. 


Our second Sponsor for this challenge is My Creative Class Room. This is a online arts and crafts learning center. So instead of giving out digital stamps they will be giving out a seat to one lucky winner to either of these classes; Color Inspirations: Twinkling H20"or Clean and  Simple Card Workshop." 


Now I would like to show you the card that I made. One part of this is a saying that is said around our house. It's about the mute buttons. That's why I chose this image to create with. 


I do hope that you thought this was funny. These two look like they need a little break from each other. Been married to long. Since they were complaining about each other I decided to use heart paper, my sentiment and the font chiller on it. I wanted to add something that would be funny with the image. LOL  Here are the items that I used.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & Colorbok
Paper -- Colorbok
Font -- Chiller
Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Colored Markers 
Colored Pencils

I'm at the end so I hope t see you next week with another new challenge. Good Luck!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 218 "STRIPES OR DOTS"


Happy Sunday!! It hasn't been to bad here. Trying to get use to this rain today. My husband is only home on the weekends now and we still have not been able to spend time together. So, with it raining outside maybe we will get some time to be together. If anyone has girl teenagers you might know what I'm talking about. Dating. Something that my husband absolutely will not discuss with me. If I make the decision and he didn't like it, I was wrong. She's really not into it yet but I would like to have my bases covered when it does come up. Hopefully I can get that out of him.

I am so excited for this week's challenge. When I seen what it was and the image that I was able to use, I knew what my project would be. Our sponsor this week is Broken Box Stock. They have many categories you can choose from and even have digital paper. The images are absolutely great. So, the image that I used is called "Soccer Star Toodle." When I seen soccer, I was going to make a scrapbook layout of my daughter. This image is absolutely cute. She is ready to play. She has a number 1 on her shirt but I did change that. My daughter's favorite number and soccer number was 9. So I found a 9 and put it on the shirt. She actually noticed that I did that. So, let's see what Broken Box Stock is giving to our lucky winner. 

Winner's Choice Of
Three Digital Stamps
(except sets at the store)

Let's get to my layout now. This layout is called Falcon Soccer and I used the school colors of black, red and white.


I did use the dots for my background. I think the number 9 jumps off the page. I used pictures of them practicing because some of the ones when she is playing you really don't notice it's here unless you know her. Here are the items that I used to make her layout.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart
All Paper -- The Paper Studio
Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Number 9 -- From My Stash
Pictures -- My Daughter Jelissa
Cricut Machine -- Extreme Fonts (Junior Letters With the Shadow.)
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

I have my cricut machine now so I hope I learn more to use for my projects. I really hope you like this layout. Of course, it's going into our family album. Thank You so much for reading my post. Please feel free to leave any comments about the layout. Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is the place to be if you want to add your project this week. Hope you all have a great week and come back tomorrow to see another project that I have done.

INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE "THINGS WITH WINGS"


Thank you for stopping on the Monday to see what our new challenge is. I think this is a challenge that you are going to enjoy.

Scribbles Designs is our sponsor of this challenge. They are going to give the lucky winner 3 Digital Stamps. They have very cute stamps so this is the challenge you will want to win.


With this challenge I used a Flamingo standing upright. I didn't realize that flamingo's are not all pink. There are many shades of pink and I also found a picture of a brown one. I learned something new with this challenge. Nothing wrong with that. Now let me show you my card with a Pink Flamingo.


Well, I hope you did like it. I decided to use some glitter flamingo's, palm trees, and little lizards as an added touch. Since I was making a pink flamingo I decided to go with pinks in my paper. Here is every thing that I used to make this.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & The Paper Studio
Paper -- DCWV
Frame -- Cricut Cartridge (Fancy Frames)
Embellishments -- Dress It Up

I hope you enjoyed the post and I will see you next Monday. Remember, if you want to add your card just go to Incy Wincy Monday Challenge and add it to our linky. Hope you have a wonderful week and I will see you next Monday for a whole new challenge.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 217 "AT THE BEACH"


Hello to everyone this Sunday morning. It's sunny here and the weather is great. We have actually had two 90 degree days this past week and we are expecting two this coming week. Summer is really starting out with some heat. I'm glad that my daughter's soccer practices are in the early morning. I would rather be tired then really hot waiting on her. This is also the last week of June already. Pretty soon we are going to be thinking about Christmas. People always say Christmas in July. I have also seen count down on different blogs. I try and not look at them. I don't need a count down just yet.

Fresh Brewed Designs is our sponsor for a great challenge this week. Who doesn't think about being at the beach? I think this was the perfect challenge since yesterday was the first of summer. All kinds of summer activities will be going on in the next couple of months and one of our favorites is swimming. I was glad that Fresh Brewed Designs let me use their digital image "My Island." Everyone always ask if you were on an island what would you like to have there. I would take my family. Fresh Brewed Designs has a great shop for you to go and look at. I would look because the prize that they are giving out this week is a great one.

Winner's Choice
Of 
3 Digital Stamps
Or
$10.00 Digital Stamp Gift Card
To Their Store.

It is a great prize. For my little island this is the card that I made. I hope that you like it.


I love the water paper. It really looks like you are surrounded by it. I love the sea animals and the lawn chair all by itself that I could use every once in a while. To make this cute card I used the following items.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart
Paper -- DCWV & Piece From My Paper Stash
All The Animal Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

I am now going to stop rambling and let you get to your day. Can't wait to see the cards that you come up with and you can also see what the other designers made. They are very beautiful. Just go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and see the cards and then enter your. Feel free to leave any one of us comments. I love seeing what people think about my work. Enjoy your week and I will see you next week.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 216 "GRADUATION CARDS"


Happy Father's Day to all of you. This crept up on me so fast that I thought it was next weekend. So, I want to wish my Dad a Happy Father's Day. I also need to tell my husband Happy Father's Day. You have been a great father to our great kids and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have these kids that mean the world to me. I Love You Infinity. By the way, I listened to your new CD yesterday before you get it today. You will love it. I did. LOL

Graduation is a big life changing event for our kids. These kids need to know how proud you are of them and these cards this week will let them know it. KPM Doodles is the sponsor for our challenge this week. They picked a great week to sponsor graduates every where. We were allowed to use the set "Graduations Stamps." This set contains six stamps. There are 2 girls, 2 boys, diploma and a graduation cap. I used the girl image. She fit perfectly for the idea I had in mind. So here is the prize for this week's challenge.

2 Sets
Of 
The Winner's Choice
From The
KPM Doodles Store

Now I will show you the graduation card that I made.


The front of the card is cut to the part where you see the congratulations paper. Just wanted to make it a little different. What you see on the side is what on the whole inside of the card. I really like this quote that I used it for the card. The red, black and white are our school colors. That's why the card is a little darker. Items used to make this are:

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & The Paper Studio
Paper -- DCWV (Graduation)
Quote -- Inspiration Station by Betsy Flot
Font -- Lucida Calligraphy
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

I'm glad you read my post and again Happy Father's Day. Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is the place to be to add your graduation card in the mix. You will also see all the cards that our design team made with this set. See you next Sunday with another great challenge.

INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE "FAUX TECHNIQUES"


Here we are again on another Monday for a new challenge. A new start to another week. I hope this week goes a little slower so I feel like I am getting something done.

For our challenge this week out sponsor is Doodle Pantry. I found a great image from their shop but I can also tell you that they have great images there. You will want to win this one. They are giving out 3 digital Images to our winner this week.


Our challenge is FAUX techniques. The technique that I used was faux stitching. I'm not that up to date on this technique so I guess I better learn more about it for these kind of challenges. The image that I chose was Noah's Ark. I love Noah's Ark that it is all over my living room and creeping into other rooms. This is one great collection to have. So when I seen this I knew I had to work with it. So, here is the card that I made.


I wanted to use as many animals that I could with this Noah's Ark. This would be a great baby card. That is what I had in mind when I was making this one. Here is the items that I used on the card.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart
Paper -- DCWV (Nana's Nursery)
Sentiment -- From My Stash
Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

Thank You for reading my post and I will see you next Monday. Make sure you add that card you made at Incy Wincy Monday Challenge. Take a look at the other design teams creations with the images. Have a Wonderful Week!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 215 "BABY CARDS"


I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday and anxiously awaiting for the new challenge for this week. We have now completed the first week of June. I can say this many times but where has this year gone. My life has been such an up roar for the last couple of months that I think that's where my year is going to. I don't think I have ever had to put up with so much drama in my life. All my kids are going through their things and decide to put me into it. I try to stay out but they just keep coming back. Having children over twenty are harder to deal with then they were little. I can't believe the things they put you through. UGH!!

I totally love this week's challenge. Baby cards. This has to be one of the greatest categories on my list. I was also aloud to use this great image from Just Some Lines. I do love their images they have. The one I used is called "Two Peas In A Pod." When I seen this one I knew I had some great embellishments to go with the image. I sure do appreciate them letting me use this. There is a great scrapbook layout I have in mind that I will have to jot down and do it later. My sketch book is getting pretty book with the ideas that I have. Well, Just Some Lines is giving this prize to one lucky winner.

4 Single Digital Stamps
Of
The Winner's Choice
From 
Just Some Lines 

I used neutral colors so you can use this baby card for either a girl or a boy. Trying to find neutral colors is hard to find. It's either pink or blue. So here is the card that I made with Two Pea's In A Pod.


I tried to use the green and purple in everything I put on the card. I hope you like the way that it turned out. Here is my list of things that I used.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & Colorbok
Paper -- DCWV (Nana's Nursery)
Buttons -- Close To My Heart
Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

I'm at the end of the post and ready to say goodbye. I hope you enjoyed it all and I will see you here next Sunday. Remember to add your project at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog  and you also get to see what the design team came up with for their cards.

INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE "FOR THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE"


Good Day to everyone!! Never know when you may be reading this. Can you believe that we are in June already. This year seems to be disappearing very fast. To fast if you ask me.

As you can see, we are making cards for men. I very rarely make that many man cards. I find that they tend to throw them away after a couple of days. Our sponsor this week is the great Kenny K  and he is giving to this week's lucky winner 3 digital images from his store. 


 

For the card that I made, I used the image called "Wedding Dance." This is a very cute little couple that our dancing at their reception. Very adorable. Let me show you the card that I made.


Since the paper was grey, I decided to color the tux grey also. So here is the list of the items that I used.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & The Paper Studio
Paper -- From My Stash
Pearls -- The Paper Studio
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

Thanks for stopping by and I will see your projects at Incy Wincy Monday Challenge.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 214 "ANYTHING GOES"


Hope your having a Wonderful Sunday!! I can't believe it but it is June already. My daughter is out of school for the summer and will be a Freshmen when school starts. I get one week off and soccer starts. I'm glad she is in a sport but she has to be at the school at 8:00 am. Where did my summer break go. Trying to do things with her because is becoming a teenager that doesn't want to be around her parents. She lives in her room of outside. My last child in school and I'm terrified. I have know idea what I will do without kids around. I have never been alone day after day. Some people look forward to it but I'm not one of them. My kids have been my whole life and they are starting their own lives. I hardly see the oldest or talk to him and I'm afraid the other two will fall in his foot steps. I have grand children but I don't see them much since they are my oldest kid's. Where has the years gone?

This is one popular challenge we have this week. ANYTHING GOES!!! I see so many great projects that I want to try and do some of them. very creative people out there. Of course it wouldn't be a  great challenge without having Robyn as our sponsor this week. There are some new images in the store and I was lucky to use one of them. It is more then a set and is called "Babe Bubble Bath." I knew since it was anything goes I was going to do a scrapbooking layout with Hayden (my grandson) It wasn't his very first bath but the first at Grandma's. Let's see what Robyn will be giving that lucky winner this week.

3 Images

The Winner's Choice

You will want this one. You can get the new images if you win. Here is my layout with Hayden. I even did some journaling on the front. I usually write on the back of the page.


My daughter at the time had those bath paints so we let Hayden play with them. He had a ball. I did a couple of pictures in circles to show him in a bubble. I really love the part that he is popping out of the bath tub and all the bubbles are falling down the side of the tub. I then added a lot of cute little embellishments every where. I hope you like it as much as I do. Here's my list that I used.
