ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE 235 "STITCHING REAL OR FAUX"

Good Morning on this beautiful Sunday morning. It's cold out but the sun is great. Well I said last week that I had my grand children for the weekend. Great seeing them but I caught my grand daughters flu bug. I have been sick all week and this flu comes with one terrific headache. I'm still feeling ill today and have no idea how to feel better. I still have their two totes in the corner of the living room with toys on the floor all around them. You would think I was the one that has kids. Their might be more when my grandson has his birthday party soon. both sides of the family spoil him. He is the first grandchild on both sides. Double trouble in the spoiling part I guess.

Stitching "Real or Faux" is the theme this week. This is a great challenge to have. I did my stitching faux. I have had some troubles stitching with a real needle and thread. I need to work on it more. A Day For Daisies is our sponsors this week. They also have a blog and newsletter that you can sign up for to follow them. wouldn't be great to get e-mails about things that are going on with them since they have the greatest stamps to work with. The image they let me use is called "Cupid Dreams." This little girl looks so peaceful laying on her cloud. I have had this angel paper for a long time and decided to use it on one side of it. It's beautiful paper and I made sure I had many pieces of it. A Day for Daisies is giving the below for this weeks winner.

Great prize for this week if I say so myself. Since the cupid was on a cloud I decided to make a couple more clouds to go with it. I also added more cupids also to kind of make it a peaceful setting with more then one cupid. I do hope you like it. I would like to Thank A Say For Daisies for letting me use this great image. Here is the card of the image "Cupid Dreams."

Do you see how peaceful she looks. I wanted the image to look like she was up in the sky but have a patterned paper to go with it. I think it helped with the background look. You can see the faux stitching on all the clouds. I made it a different color so you could see it right as you look at the card. This is the list of items that I used to make this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #234 "FOOD OR DRINK"

It's another Sunday again and we are already half way through October. Halloween will soon be over and then Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. Although I think a lot of stores and people forget about Thanksgiving. Stores are now open on that day and a lot of people don't even celebrate with family. I don't have much family so it's not celebrated much around here but I do enjoy having my kids here when they come. They have families of their own to be with. Doing this challenge reminded me of Thanksgiving. Although my image does not have anything to do with Thanksgiving it still is food. Every kid will love the image I used.

Fiona The Fairy and her Ice Cream is the image that I used from Milk Coffee Stamps. She is a cute little fairy that is on top of a bowl of ice cream. She has a big spoon trying to get some. This image is so adorable. Milk Coffee Stamps has the cutest little girl stamps that I have seen. I have to say again this image I used is absolutely adorable. Milk Coffee Stamps is giving one lucky winner

This is another prize that you want to win. So, let me show you the card that I made with this image.

The flowers didn't turn out so great in the picture but I hope you do see and like them. My camera was acting up this week. I guess I need to have it checked or something.When I seen this paper I knew that I wanted to use it. There was another piece of paper that went with it but I thought it was to much. I love strawberry ice cream so that's why it's pink. I found this great green that I used to color the fairy. I think it all went well. Here is the items that I used to create this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #233 "HALLOWEEN CARDS"

Welcome to another Sunday Challenge with The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Hope everyone has had a great weekend. Mine was a good one. Just wish it wasn't raining everyday. I love the fall but all this rain has been way to much. It does keep me in the house working on my crafts. I have been gathering things to make a scrapbook layout with me and my husband's wedding pictures. We have been together for 20 something years and never did one. So when I seen the doves in our challenge a couple of weeks ago, I knew the layout that I wanted to make. I'm excited to get started on making it. I'm just waiting on some flowers to get here and then start laying it out. I will post the layout when I am finished with it.

Kind of a weird change here. Going from wedding to Halloween Cards. Halloween is one of my favorite holiday's. Some find it real weird but it has always been something that I have looked forward to for when it gets to October. So for our challenge this week our sponsor is Limited Runs. Their page is cute when you get there. It's a Halloween theme. They also have the greatest categories for you to look through. Now would be a great time to look at their Halloween Stamps. I found the cutest cupcake with a devil on top of it. The name of the image I used is simply called, "Devil." I tried making fire but I'm not sure if it looks like it or not. So before I show you my card here is the prize you will be entering for.

You will have a hard time trying to find just three. The images are great. Now let me show you my Halloween card that I made.

I have never used black as a background but thought this one needed it. There is one skeleton that is suppose to look like it was a person. Ghosts are suppose to be flying around and there is my cute little cupcake. I thought the cupcake needed something behind it so this is what I came up with. I really hope you do like this. Now, my items that I used.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #232 "AUTUMN COLORS"

Hello to everyone reading this post today!! Fall is definitely here in Ohio. It has started getting really chilly here for the last couple of days. I do love the colors of the trees though. One good thing that happened this week was my son and my grandchildren spent the weekend here. We had a really good time. I haven't had all my kids and grand kids in the house all at one time. This is a weekend that I will always remember. Seeing all my kids messing with each other and laughing is priceless. Them making fun at me because I say the wrong word was something new. They even posted what I said on their facebook pages and laughed every time someone liked the comment. It was all in fun though.

Our sweet Robyn is our sponsor for this week. She was generous with us and let us pick out the image that we wanted to work with. The image I chose is called "Jennie The Scarecrow." This was a great image to make a card with autumn colors. I did like all the detail that it had in it. Of course I made my sketch but the card did not look anything that I drew. I have a really bad habit of it. So before I show you my scarecrow, that's see what Robyn will be giving to the lucky winner.

Just think you can win this lucky image that I used. Let me show you the card so you can see the image that I used with my card. 

Isn't she he cutest thing. I found the paper in my stash and thought it had the perfect autumn colors on it. Then I tried to get the same colors with the flowers and the little pieces of paper behind the image. I tried to brighten the picture a little but it really made it bright. To bright to look at. So here are all the items that I used to make this card.

You all have a wonderful week and I will see you next week for another great card challenge.
