ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #292 "USE SOME BROWN AND YELLOW"

Hello!! How was every one's Thanksgiving that celebrates it? Good here. I actually seen all my kids and grand kids on one day. Doesn't happen that often around here. We were busy all week though. My daughter helped me this week since she had no school. We cut up our pumpkins to cook down and made four pies with enough left over for Christmas. We made two chocolate pies and started to prepare stuff for the big day. Then my husband cooked the turkey as usual and we actually had dinner by one o'clock. Friday was the day that I actually did absolutely nothing and even took at nap. It was nice to have a day like this. But now I need to get back to my routine and prepare myself for the Christmas season. All that shopping, decorating, wrapping, and then preparing for the big day and making of the dinner. Things are just going to fast this season.

So with the last week of November we will be making cards with yellow and brown. Our sponsor is A Day for Daisies. They have been very grateful in letting us use their images and sponsoring our challenges. Thank You for being so gracious. Your images are fantastic and I love working with them. The image that I used for this card is called, "Playing In The Pumpkin Patch." This image has two pumpkins with a boy sitting on the biggest one and a dog trying to get up to him. It's a really cute image so let's see the card I made but before I do let's tell you the great prize A Day For Daisies is giving that lucky winner

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #291 "CARDS WITH AUTUMN COLORS"

Hope you are having a great Sunday!! Are you busy getting things ready for this week's Thanksgiving Dinner? I have been this weekend. I cut up all my pumpkins and cooked them down to make homemade pies. What was left went into the freezer for making pies for my Christmas dinner. Cleaning, cutting, and cooking the pumpkin takes so long but well worth the trouble. I do not like pumpkin from a can and have been cooking my own pumpkin for I don't know how long. I know I was young because people didn't think I would be doing something at that young of an age. The way I look at it, why was all the pumpkin when you can use it. Even the seeds can be cooked. In these days you have to use everything you can to save money.

Sorry for all the pumpkin talk. Let's get to the challenge for this week. I love autumn so doing this card was easier to do then some of the others. I had a great set of images to use from our sponsor "The Cutting Cafe." This set is called "Harvest Greetings Wreath." With this set you get large wreath images, small wreath images, two pages of sentiments, and pieces of a door for you to make. This is a very big set and the only thing that took me the longest to figure out what sentiment did I want to use. The other stuff was really easy. You will definitely want to have this set for your Autumn cards. On their site right know they have an adorable Turkey Treat Cup Set for you to make. It is so adorable. There is so much stuff in this store that I could not even tell you all of it. I strongly recommend you go and visit it. Then put in a project to win this prize from them.

The Cutting Cafe

So, let me show you the card I made with some of the images from this set. 

I wanted it to look like the door was on a log cabin house. I used autumn colors on the sign, door and the wreath. The sentiment was from the set and I just printed it on the orange paper so it would look better then putting white on it. There is a door knob in her set but I just used a black button. So here is the small list of items I used for this card.

Paper -- The Paper Studio

Black Button -- My Stash

This was great that I found most of my items in my left over paper and buttons. I don't throw anything away that I think I can use. I actually have a tub of leftover paper. I use it as much as possible. This was a great post for me today. I like the card even though I didn't use a lot of items on it. Usually I make them with a lot of items. So, go over to The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and see all of our idea's that we made this week and enter your project.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #290 "WET OR DRY EMBOSSING"

Hope everyone is having a happy morning. I've been fighting a sinus infection but I get them every time the weather changes. I wish I knew why but this has been happening for years. The only good thing that happen this weekend is that I kept my grand kids for the weekend. They wanted to play with their aunt and uncle more than us. It was nice to just watch them. They grow up to fast. The one funny thing was when we were on our way home they kept talking about banana's. Finally, I did ask them what they were talking about and it was funny. They thought the moon looked like a banana and found it funny. The things they think of and amuse their selves with. 

Let's get to the challenge which I chose to use the dry embossing. I can be honest and say I have not tried wet embossing. It is something that I need to learn though. I was so lucky this week to use and image from Aurorawings. The image is called, "Sea Turtle Kiss." Beautiful little girl underwater with her turtles. I have to honestly say that I have bought many of Mitzi's images. They are beautiful and fun to color. Every once in awhile she will sell one of her new coloring books. Something you may want to watch for. So, Thank You Mitzi for letting me use this beautiful image. Mitzi is giving this to a lucky winner.

Let's see the card that I made with "Sea Turtle Kisses."

See, she is very beautiful. I took some leaves and used glue dots to keep them together to make is look like seaweed. Found these turtles inside a button and took them apart to add some more of them. Then I added the bubbles to make it look like they are breathing coming up. You can't see the background paper that good but it is the same pattern as the embossing on this card. Now let me tell you where I bought everything.

NEW CHRISTMAS AND WINTER DIGITAL STAMPS IN THE ROBYN'S FETISH STAMPS AND MORE STORE - NOVEMBER 9, 2015

Hello!! Today I am here to reveal 2 of the new 20 Digital Stamps that Robyn's Fetish Stamps and More Store has added. These are absolutely the cutest images for Christmas and Winter. You probably will want to have all of them by the time you get done seeing them. Each of our Design Team members were given two images and some took a couple more to make a variety of projects for you to see with these new images. 

The first image that I used is called "Peppermint." Who doesn't like those little peppermint candies? So, I made a Christmas Wreath with them. The total project is homemade. Here's a picture for you.

Before I begin telling you about it. If you are wanting to do one of these make sure you have a little time to do one. I had the straw wreath for awhile and always wanted to make one of these. The material has peppermints all over it and is from Hobby Lobby. I cut and poked each square into the straw. I made the bow with Christmas Ribbon that had wire on each of the sides. The peppermints that are on the wreath are colored with glitter from Ranger. Then I laminated the peppermints so they wouldn't bend. I loved these peppermints. There were lots of projects I come up with but this was the one I wanted to tackle.

Then with the second image which is called "Snow Cabin" I made a Scrapbook Layout. This snow cabin is so cute with the Christmas lights and snow on the roof and window. When I seen this image I automatically knew I wanted to do a layout. One year my husband and I celebrated our anniversary in a cabin at a State park. Here's the layout with the story told on it.

Those Cabins are adorable. As you can see I did make three of them to make sure the image stood out. Of course you see that my children are there and that's what made the story. I used Snowflake paper from The Paper Studio for the background. All the glittered snowflakes are from Make It Christmas. I colored the cabins and all the white you see on them are glitter from Ranger. The font that I used for the story is Curlz MT. 

I do hope that you enjoyed my projects and will love the rest of the Design Teams projects. So, to see all the new 20 Digital Images just go to Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. You won't be disappointed.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #289 "BABY CARDS"

Hope you are having a good start off to your day or evening according to where you live. It's starting to get a little colder here now. I don't mind the weather we are having now. It's great and I'm also loving the color of the trees. Although they are starting to fall off the trees. I'm not ready for Christmas though. But, my daughter is already starting to play the Christmas songs and wants to put up the tree. She is driving me crazy. She is being home schooled now and she started to play them everyday. She thinks it's hilarious when I start singing them and I don't even really know I'm doing it. I still thinking about Thanksgiving. It's going to be the first in our new home and it's going to be nice starting new traditions.

I love making baby cards so this was an easy card to make. The only thing is I don't know when to stop with the embellishments. I think I have to many around here that I don't know what I want to use. The set that I chose to use is called "Sweet Dreams Sheep." This is a set of two images and nine sentiments.  This very cute set is from our sponsor this week, Imagine That is our wonderful sponsor this week. They have many sets of digital stamps and she also has tutorials on there if you would like to learn something she has to show. Great place to get the prize from them and it is:

3 Digital Stamps

The Imagine That! Store

Now I want to show you my baby card with "Sweet Dreams Sheep."

I did get the idea for the quilt from the colored image that she has. It's colored differently. I used three different colors, brads and faux stitching. I also used one of her sentiments that she had on the set I used. Here are the rest of the items that I used on this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #288 "ANYTHING FOR THANKSGIVING"

Happy November!! The first day of November and also the first day of time change. Then we also have a new challenge. A lot of new things going on today. For all of you that believe in the holiday of Halloween I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I did and I also went to my Grandson's Birthday party on the 31st. They should of had a Halloween party for it but they are young except my grandson will be 6 years old on the 10th of this month. This just happen to be my sons weekend to have his son. I love watching little kids faces when they are opening gifts. It is so precious. The only thing that shocked me was my grandson folded his jeans after he looked at each pair. Lastly, I just want to wish my grandson, Hayden, a Happy Wonderful Birthday.

In my mind I think Thanksgiving is a lost holiday. This is very sad but all the stores put things out for Halloween and then Christmas at the same time. You may find a small isle items for this holiday so this is a great chance to make things for the Holiday that needs to be remembered. So I'm really happy that Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog has decided to make this Thanksgiving challenge. Robyn is also our great sponsor this week. She allowed me to use an image called "Sunflower 1." I also did get to use a sentiment off the set "Fall Sentiments." So with the two images I had made seating cards for our Thanksgiving dinner. Inside they are suppose to write what they are grateful for. I don't know how everyone will like this but I hope they do. So, let's see what Robyn will be giving away this week.
