ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 348 "ANYTHING GOES"


Happy Holidays!! I'm writing this ahead of time because I will actually have all my kids home for Christmas. I wanted to spend every moment I could with them but still wanted you to read my blog with this great challenge that everyone loves. "Anything Goes" I hope you are enjoying your day also.


Our very own Robyn's will be hosting our "Anything Goes" challenge this week. You can find her store at The Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More to see all her beautiful images that she has. The image that I used today is called "Stevie The Snowman." He is so adorable that I have three of him on my card. I know I always make a scrapbook layout but just couldn't find any pictures of my kids in the snow. Now let's see what Robyn will be giving our lucky winner.

So here is "Stevie the Snowman"


I thought it turned out to be a great winter card. You don't necessarily have to use it as a Christmas card. I love the papers I found since the snowmen look like they may be sledding down a hill. The hill is glittered paper that I made the hills out of. I colored the snowmen and added the embellishments. Was a real easy make. Here is the items that I did use.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #347 "ADD A BELL"



Good Morning!! I hope you are starting to begin your holiday festivities. I finally have my tree up and now I'm starting to wrap gifts. Very busy week for me coming up. I hope I can get it done a little early so I can relax before our Christmas dinner. On to the challenge at hand.


Sherri Baldy Designs is our sponsor for this week's challenge of "Add A Bell." There are two places you can find her work. First is Sherri Baldy Designs and then Scrapbook Stamp Society. I just love these images because they have the big eyes on the girls. I don't know what it is about these eyes but I just love them. You really need and look at both of her stores. She has a lot of great images. She let me choose the image "Image 815, Gingerbread Girl." I did have a lot of fun coloring her and making this card. I'm excited to show you but I need to let you know what she will be giving to one of our lucky winner's. 

The 3 Digital Stamps
That Our
Design Team Used

You will see the three different images on The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog that our Design Team used. Remember this little cutie will be one of the images. Let's see here.


I hope you like this. I have noticed that Christmas Cards are starting to use different colors besides the traditional ones. I had this pink paper in my stash for awhile and decided to use it and make the gingerbread girl dressed in pink. So all the items I used was in my scrapbooking room from times that I just picked something up on one of my shopping trips. You can use any colors you want to make this.

I want to Thank You again for reading my post and hoping that you get inspiration from the card that I made. Have a Wonderful Week!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 346 "CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH A DIE-CUT"


Good Morning!! Hope is all well with you. I have to say that this week went real fast and then Saturday was great. My son brought up his kids and bought a kit to decorate Gingerbread Cookie Ornaments. We had fun making the ornaments with all the icing and different types of sprinkles. Of course, when we were done, they ate all the left over icing and sprinkles. It was so much fun doing this with them. Times like these are things I will treasure forever.


For this week's challenge our sponsor will be Ppinky Dolls. This is a big etsy store that has more than just digital stamps. They also have jewelry, vintage items, clothing and accessories. I was able to use their digital image "Christmas Gift." She is an adorable little girl with a mouse that looks like it's running toward her carrying a Christmas Gift. But before I show you the card that I made with their image I will tell you what the prize is for this week.

Here is the card that I made with "Christmas Gift"


I used a snowflake paper as the background. Added blue paper so you can see the Holiday die-cut  that is cut with the same paper as the background. Then I added glitter to the girl and the girl and mouse. I then glittered the bow and put a bell in the middle of it. Added more gifts and put a couple of snowflakes at the top. It is a square card because of the die-cut that I used.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 345 "SQUARE OR RECTANGLE CARDS"


Hello To All!! Hope you had a great first couple of days of December. It was great here. My husband surprised me with a gift this week of going out of town for a night to get away from reality. While we were there he had another surprise gift. A beautiful bracelet that has I with a Heart and U and between each time it's repeated there is an infinity sign in between. It's also the start of Christmas shopping and I did get some this week. My husband even spent Friday with me shopping for gifts. Thank You Tony and Happy Anniversary!!



Here is our sponsor this week with a very catchy name. My Stitch Back In Twine. This is a great etsy store to go and look through the images. She also has Pre-Colored images and some images for steampunk which is popular now. The image that I used from this store is, "Underland Caterpillar." This is an adorable Caterpillar that sits on a mushroom. The face is what caught my eye. Here is what they are giving to one lucky winner this week.

My Stitch Back In Twine

Here is "Underland Caterpillar"


Is she not a cute caterpillar? So, since she was sitting on a mushroom, I had found this paper in my stash with the other mushrooms and thought it would be a perfect fit. There were little butterflies around the mushrooms so I put some butterflies around the caterpillar. We had to make square or rectangle cards so mine is square. 5 x 5 inches. Here is the few items that I made this cute card with.

Paper -- K@Company
Butterflies -- Dress It Up

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 344 "STRIPES OR DOTS"


Hello!! Welcome to my blog today. Hope is all well with you. I hope you have a Wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. I actually had all three of my children home for dinner. It's very seldom that they are here all at once. We all actually sat and watched a movie together before my one son had to leave to get his daughter. This was a memorable holiday.


As you can see from up above Limited Runs Digital Stamps is our sponsor for this week's challenge. She has a Wonderful blog and for the month of December she will be having specials on her stamps. Just check in every couple of days. She let me use this cute image called, "Christmas Tree Cupcake." I love cupcakes and Christmas also, so this was a great image to work with. My picture didn't turn out the best but the tree has shading on it. It's just really hard to tell. Let me tell you about the prize Limited Runs Digital Stamps is giving to one lucky winner.

I try to name all my cards so this one is "Sweet Christmas."


I hope you enjoyed my yummy cupcake. I thought the candies looked great with the image. We do get all these sweets at Christmas time. Here is how I put this card together. I found this piece of paper that had both stripes and dots so I thought it would be perfect. Added red and green cardstock in different ways to focus on the image I was using. Added the image I colored and glittered. Last but not least, added the bright candy suckers and candies. It was very easy once I had the sketch done. Here are the items I used.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 343 "LACE AND GEMS"


Hello Everyone!! Well, we are officially in the cold  winter weather here. I'm loving the cold. I always have and probably always will. The sleet and flurries was great to see. Can't wait to see one big snow storm. 


You will like our sponsor this week. It is Star Stampz which is also called Star In My Pocket. The category that I love is the one called "Storybook And Fantasy." This is where I used an image of hers called, "Sleeping Beauty." She is absolutely beautiful just sleeping in her bed. So, when I went looking for things to make my card, I had way more than I was going to use. I just wanted to do it justice. Let me tell you the prize that Star Stampz will be giving before I show you my card.

Here is my card that I did name "Sleeping Beauty."


I have to say that I love this card. My grand daughter loves the Disney Princesses and this will be a beautiful card for her birthday. I'm hoping my son will keep it for her to look at when she gets older. These cards do take a lot of time to make. You can't see it but the purple paper has crowns and the saying, "Beautiful Princess." You can see it on the back. Made the frame with my Big Shot and a stencil to make the oval around the picture. Surrounded the oval with the lace and gems. Lastly I added the flowers that looked the best together. Here is where the items I used to make this card came from. 

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Paper -- Rainboworld by Master Piece Studios
Pink Frame -- Spellbinders (Art Nouveau: Stacy Caron Design)
Lace With Gems -- The Paper Studio (Ivory Lace With Gemstones)
Flowers -- Prima Flowers, Wild Orchid Crafts, and Hobby Lobby

I want to Thank You for looking at my card and reading my post. Please feel free to leave a comment even if it's one word. Also, look at the other storybook images that our Design Team made at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Let,s see your card with lace and gems. Hope to see you next week for our next challenge.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 342 "ANYTHING FOR THANKSGIVING"


Good Morning!! Hope you had a great week. My Saturday was wonderful. My son had a Birthday Party for my Grandson. My son moved out in the country and the fall leaves on the trees were beautiful. Was a very nice ride. On the ride home we seen the most amazing sunset that we watched all the way home. Nice party and a very peaceful day.


Our wonderful sponsor for this week is our own Robyn from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. We were able to go to the Thanksgiving section in her store and pick out one image to use for this week's challenge. Since we could make anything for Thanksgiving I chose "The Scarecrow And His Friend." I knew I had pictures of my kids when they were little and walked in a parade around the school halls. They were dressed as little Indians. I knew I wanted to make another Scrapbook Layout. So, I want to tell you what Robyn is giving to this week's winner and then show you my layout. 

3 Digital Stamps
From

Now here is my layout that I decided to call "Thanksgiving Parade."


I showed the kids the pictures and they didn't remember the parade or even making their Indian costumes. They are so adorable. So, I used the picture of my sons and then added the scarecrow that I had colored. Used two different papers to put behind the pictures. Added the glittered flowers, glittered pumpkins, Indians, and Pilgrims as embellishments for the rest of the page. I had ordered a 3D Thanksgiving sign for the page but I never received it in the mail in time to post my project for the challenge. I probably will added it when I get it. These are the items that I used to make this layout. 

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & The Paper Studio
Paper -- The Paper Studio
Pilgrims & Indians -- Dress It Up
Glittered Pumpkins -- Spare Parts (The Paper Studio)
Flowers & Gems -- Hobby Lobby
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils

I hope you enjoyed the layout. I did have a lot of fun making it. I always do when it's made with an image and pictures of my family. I would love to see you projects that are about Thanksgiving. So if you go to The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog add your project and you will also see the other projects that our Design Team made for their Thanksgiving project. So have fun making what you decide to do and I will be back here next week with another new challenge. Have a Wonderful Week!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 341 "MORE THAN ONE BUTTON"


Hello to Everyone!! Hope your having a good start to your day. I can't believe today is the start of Day Light savings time. I don't know if you have to set your clocks back but here in Ohio we have to. I'm not looking forward to it being dark at 5 and 6 O'clock. It always takes me a week at least to get my body to adjust to the change and my morning routine. Well, let's see who our sponsor is this week and tell you about them.



Oddball Art Co. is our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge. They have a really neat etsy store that has images from the very cute to the very creepy. They are all adorable and I loved working with the one I did. Oddball Art Co. let me use their digital image called "Tasha." She is a very adorable fairy reaching out to a Dragonfly. I'm excited to show you my card, so let me tell you the prize for this week's challenge of "Add More Than One Button."

3 Digital Stamps
From

Here is my card with "Tasha."


Is that image not adorable. I made a fancy cut on the side of the paper I printed the fairy on. I decided to use all white flowers to match the white flowers on the background paper that I used. I put white and gold buttons on the flowers to add some color but not to much. I glittered her wings and put some glitter on the flowers which is hard to see in the picture. Then added three cute little fairies which also came with glitter on their wings. I think it all fit together and is very cute. Here are the items that I used to make my card. 

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Paper -- K & Company
Buttons On Flowers -- My Button Jar
Variety Of White Flowers & Sprigs -- Wild Orchid Crafts
Fairies -- Dress It Up

Good Day!! Hope is all well with you not matter what time it is where you are. Here is another one of my favorite challenges. Halloween Cards. This has to be my second holiday so to say in the year. I like the children all dressed up in those adorable costumes. Each year they get even more cuter. Later today I will be decorating my house. It's usually done by now but as everyone knows. Things always gets in the way. 

Our owner Robyn is sponsoring our challenge this week. I used the image "Scarecrow Sitting On Basket" for my Halloween Card, Halloween cards don't all have to be scary. They can be cute with a scarecrow and pumpkins. Pumpkins are a part of Halloween tradition for carving and eating the seeds. Robyn will be giving the lucky winner:

Now is My card I called "Happy Scarecrow."

 

This image is so adorable how could you not want to make a Halloween Card with it. It's not the traditional scary look but more of the cute side of Halloween. I used a a piece of background paper that had Happy Halloween, Trick or Treat and other sayings all over the paper. I used the green and orange papers to pop the words off the background paper and they are great colors for this holiday. Added some pumpkins and sunflowers to finish it off. Really wasn't that bad once I had my idea all planned out. Here is the simple items I used for this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #337 "NATURE"


Hello to everyone who is here today. Hope all is well with you. It's been a busy week here. There was extra stuff to do because something broke or wasn't put in right. (My Son's Fault) Lots of cleaning up and then fixing it. Just isn't the week I had planned. I did plan what I was going to do everyday and I only finished Monday and Tuesday's work. Enough of me, here is our sponsor.


Pickled Potpourri is our sponsor for out "Nature" challenge. They have Digital Stamps for almost every occasion possible. They are very delicate and beautiful. You really need to check this sponsor's store. Since our challenge was for "Nature." I had the pleasure of using her digital stamp called "Beehive," So before I show you what I did with the beehive, let me share with you what they will be giving our lucky winner.

$7.00 Gift Certificate

Now here is "Beehive"


I hope you like the card. I had so much fun coloring the beehive. My mother-in-law actually had a huge one in one of her bushes that a bee keeper had to come and get it out. More honey for him. I didn't want just a yellow beehive. So since I seen the beehive and the way it looked in the bushes, I took the look from it to try and make it look like that one. I had bee paper from a Pooh collection and used it. Then I added the two beehives and all the bee's. I really think that it turned out really cute. Here is the short list of items I used.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Paper -- EK Success (Classic Pooh Collection)
Bee Hives and Bee Embellishments -- Dress It Up

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 336 "SQUARE CARDS"


Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Mine has been busy and I won't be getting a break today. It started out that we were to move some of my husband's mother things out of her house and put in storage. But my son , who lives with her, decided that he was going to move out Saturday. Big mess!! Now, oldest son decided to move today. Of all weekend's for my boys to move it just left me and my husband to move his mom's stuff alone. I'm not use to all of this work. Monday can't come fast enough.


Our great sponsor this week is Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner. I was grateful that I was given the image "Toadie's Hall." This mushroom house is so cute with the frog sitting on top of it. I have to say the frog is the most cutest part of the image but the whole image is adorable. The prize that they are giving to someone this week is

This is a really nice prize that they are giving. 


I really hope that you like this card. I really had fun making it. I loved working with the frogs. They are adorable.I know this is a mushroom but looks like the bottom of a tree. So that's why I colored it two different colors. I added the other frogs on places where there was lily pads and I made the little squares across the bottom so I could add some more frogs. This paper was perfect for this card. It took me awhile to find it because I hadn't seen it for awhile but I did find it. Here is my list of items I used. 

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio & Core-Ordinations
Paper -- DCWV
Frog Embellishments -- Dress It Up

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 335 "USE AN EMBOSSING FOLDER"

Blackberry Jelly's is our sponsor this week. This is a cute little etsy store that you would want to go and look at the images. We were able to pick any image we wanted to used for our project. I just thought that this cat with the balloons was adorable. The name of this image is called, "Cat In The Box; Box With Balloons." I want to tell you about this image and what I did with it. But, I'm gonna let you know what Blackberry Jelly's is giving for this week's prize.

Here is my Scrapbook Layout that I called, "Feather Parties."


I hope you like the Scrapbook Layout. I made this with my cat named "Feather." Since the image was a cat in a box with birthday balloons, I remembered that my daughter had a birthday where we played with our cat with hats. He actually left them on there for me to get a couple of pictures. The paper reminded me of the colors on the hat he was wearing and I had paper to match the background where I embossed dots on the balloons as a background of the pictures. I then added the embellishments and that finished the page. This one was a pretty easy layout but I love it. Here is the items I used.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Oval Stencils -- Fiskars
Embossing Folder -- Cuttlebug's Dots
Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Colored Markers

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 334 "ANYTHING FOR FALL"


Good Morning!! Hope you are having a Wonderful Day!! I woke up to very nice weather and a pot of coffee. I'm lucky I have a Wonderful Husband who makes coffee when he is home on the weekends. Although, his birthday was yesterday he didn't act like it was. That's what happens when you get older I guess. I don't tell people my birth date so I don't have to go through it anymore. Just another day in my book.


As you can see from above that The Cutting Cafe is our sponsor for this week's challenge. Besides having digital image sets, they have cutting files for shaped cards, shaker cards and so much more. They have Digital Image Sets which one of the sets I worked on. It's called, "Wheelbarrow Deliveries." This set has two styles of wheelbarrows, pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and many more images. I used the wheelbarrow, leaves, pumpkins, and acorns from the set. I could have made many different things from this but I decided to go with a table arrangement.




Before I get to that, here is the prize that The Cutting Cafe is giving our lucky winner.

3 SETS

Now on to my table arrangement. I wanted to do something besides a card since our theme is anything for fall. I actually came up with this idea at 3:00 am because I couldn't sleep. I come up with a lot of ideas when I can't sleep. I used the images of the pumpkins and acorns to put at the bottom of a block that I painted, put paper on top of the block, added leaves and then the letters. The two end blocks have the image of leaves and one with a wheelbarrow. Then I added other things to make it a table arrangement. I used only four of the images that came from a set of around 11 images and 20 different sentiments. From this set you can make something for Easter, Christmas, Valentine's Day and many more. Here is everything with my arrangement.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Paper -- The Paper Studio
Paint -- Americana (Georgia Clay)
Wood Blocks -- Midwest Products
Letters -- Woodpile Fun
Big Fall Leaves on Block -- Hobby Lobby
Turkey, Pumpkins, Cross, and Leaves Laying On Table -- Hobby Lobby

Wow, this post is longer then I thought it would be. I just wanted you to know about everything I put into the arrangement and what come with the set that I used. You will want to go to The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to see what the design team made for their projects. When you are there read the rules of the challenge and enter. It's real easy.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 333 "PUPPY LOVE - MUST HAVE A DOG OR A PUPPY ON THE CARD"


Good Morning!! I'm back to tell you about the challenge of the week. This was a great theme to have. Who can not make a cute card with a puppy? My daughter brought home a puppy a month ago and she is cute but she will grow up. I wonder if she will think it's all fun when she reaches to her adulthood. I have been teaching the dog to go out and my daughter not so much. She did say she didn't realize how hard it was going to be. Wish she would of listened to her parents because this is starting to look like it's going to be my responsibility. Look who is our sponsor this week.


All Dressed Up Stamps is this weeks sponsor. I would like to thank them for the image that they let me use for my card this week. The image's name is "My Best Friend." All Dressed Up Stamps have the cutest images. They have over one hundred stamps in their store. This cute image is a little girl walking her cute little puppy. 


The winner will receive the following for winning our challenge

Winner's Choice 
of 
2 Digital Stamps
from 

Since this was suppose to be a card with a puppy. My image already had a cute little one with it so I made a puppy paw print on the front of the card. I colored the image and put it on the paw and then made the rest of the paw with brown paper and buttons to give it more of the puppy paw look. This was also a simple little card but I had a lot of fun with it. There is a verse on the inside to give this card to a new puppy owner. Here are the items I used: 

Cardstock -- DCWV & The Paper Studio
Font -- She Always Walk Alone
Buttons -- My Button Bucket
Colored Markers 
Colored Pencils

I hope to see all the cards with your puppies on them. Just go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and enter those cute little puppies you have. Also, look at what the design team made with their puppies. A lot of inspiration there. Well, that's it from me this week. Enjoy what's left of today and tomorrow.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 332 "FOOD OR DRINK"


Hello To You All!! Hope the weather is nice where you are. We had a great couple of days that were really nice and no rain. I hope it will be like this next week. We are having a bonfire for our daughter and her friends for her birthday. She turns 17 Wednesday and is making me feel real old. We are actually talking about colleges already. She will be in a program her senior year where they will pay for so many credits at a college. It's starting to be a reality now.

The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is our sponsor for this week. We are very glad that she let's us use her images to do our projects with. Robyn has many images in her store that I just love. When she gets new ones in I can't wait to use them. Here is one of my favorites "Wedding Cake." Long story but I eloped with my husband when we were very young so this cake is colored the way our flowers were. Just had to use these pictures I just found.


As you can see, I made a Scrapbook Layout. First, I need to tell you about what Robyn is giving for a prize this week. 

Winner's Choice

Digital Stamps
From

Here is the layout that I made this week. I called it "Wedding Day." We eloped back in 1991. Again, Long story. I used a Specialty Paper for the background and the background behind the pictures. This paper is really tricky to work with. They are not a regular cardstock and the paper stretches. I wish I would have known this before I used this paper. Trying to get things to stick to it was definitely hard. I used the wedding cake and cut off the flowers at the bottom of the image. I used pop up dots to make it a little dimensional. Used a border with flowers and rhinestones. Then added all the embellishments to the page. I think it turned out really pretty. It did bring back great memories from then. Here's where everything came from. 

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Specialty Embossed Paper -- The Paper Studio
Border On Side -- Jolee's Boutique (Wedding Borders)
Embellishments -- Me & My Big Ideas & Paper House
Stenciled Hearts -- Fiskars
Colored Markers

I hope this gives you some inspiration for your next project. Join us for this challenge and have some fun. To see all the projects that the Design Team did just go to The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Have a Great Week!!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 331 "ANYTHING GOES"


It's me again to tell you about another challenge that The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is having this week. Anything goes is everyone's favorite. You can add any project to win this week. Either it be a card, scrapbook layout, bookmark or any other idea you come up with for your entry. Just have fun with what ever you do. 


We have another great sponsor for this week's challenge. It is A Creative Need Digital Stamps. This is an etsy store that has a variety of different stamps for you to choose from. With the card that I made this week, she was generous to let me use the stamp "Cottage Window." I seen the window and thought about the cottages that sit back in the woods where no one can see them. I wanted to make a scrapbook layout that I usually do when we do "Anything Goes" but could not think of how to do it so here is the card I decided on. 


That's my card made with "Cottage Window." I want to let you know (before I tell you how I made the card) what the prize from A Creative Need Digital Stamps will be giving.

You can get this window if you participate. So, here is how I made this cute card. I told you that I thought cottages were way back in the woods, so I found this paper of limbs of pine trees. I then made different shapes with the paper and colored the cottage window. Pretty easy. It did take more time then you would think though. Not much but here is what I used.

I told you it was a short list. I just couldn't find any embellishments that went with it. I do wish there was more on it. It's not like me to make something simple. Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is where you can add your project and see all the fabulous things that the other design team members have made.
