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.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio

Paper -- DCWV

Font -- She Always Walks Alone

Suckers & Candies -- Dress It Up

Red, Green, Blue, & Yellow Glittered Ornaments -- Ranger Stickles

I do Thank You for stopping by. My card and the other Design Teams cards will be displayed at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Please add your card to our challenge and take a chance on winning. It's very simple. Hope to see you next week for another special challenge from The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Have a great first of December!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #283 "SQUARE OR RECTANGLE CARDS"

Hello Again!! Hope everyone had a great week. Mine was very emotional. I found out that my carpal tunnel has come back and it is much worse this time. My fingers will stay numb if the medicine will not work. If that doesn't work then a test on the nerves around my wrist, then onto surgery. I'm trying to avoid the surgery but they say sooner or later it is going to have to be done. I have a hard time working on things for a period of times. Mornings are the best so that's when I try to get everything done that I can. I'm still getting my cards done and some layouts but when I can't I will be devastated. Let's get to a better subject. Out new challenge. 

This week's challenge is sponsored by Lacy Sunshine. Her store is so colorful and she has the cutest images. I think I have said it before but I'm going to say it again. The images with the big eyes draws me to her store. I think the eyes make the images even cuter. The image that she graciously let me use is called "Winnie Light Tester." Winnie is so cute with her big eyes and she is trying to untangle a string of lights for a Christmas Tree. She even has a cute little light on the top of her hat. I'm glad that Lacy Sunshine was a sponsor for us again. I know I really appreciate it. She is also giving out a nice prize for someone to win.

Now that I have explained Lacy Sunshine's store and my image let me show you the card that I made. I know it will be obvious but I made a rectangle card. 

I tried every way I could but could not get the colors of her shirt to show up. I used a coral and lavender to color the shirt. I wish you could see it because the color is there. I had those individual lights that I wanted to use and I just bought this tree even though it's old die cut. So, these are the items I used for making this card.

Paper -- DCWV

Christmas Tree -- Spellbinder's Shape-abilities (2012 Holiday Tree)

Embellishments -- Dress It Up

Well I'm at another end of a post. I also have another Christmas card done for Christmas. I need to see how many more I need. Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog has all the rules for the challenge and cards from our great design team to give you some inspiration. 

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #230 "USE A DIE CUT OR PUNCH"

Good Morning to everyone. Sorry I was not here last week but my embossing machine was broke and I hadn't been able to get a new one yet. I feel like I'm my daughter's personal ATM machine. Everything hit me in two weeks and after it was all done I spent about $300 for everything. I'm not done either. I have her school fees coming up next month. I had to take all the money I had saved up for my machine to give to her. High school is more expensive then I would have ever thought. Last night was her very first homecoming. The dress code changed since I was in school. They actually were formal wear to these dances. I'm glad her dress was on sale because she needed shoes also. The girls went as a group and they were absolutely beautiful. 

I could go on and on but we have a challenge that we need to get to. As you can see you are to use a punch or die cut. I used a punch on mine and I think it turned out great. We have a great sponsor this week and they are Lacy Sunshine. I have used their images before and I was excited to used another one. The one I used this time is called Eleanor & Pickles "Decking The Halls." She is a cute little girl holding a Christmas wreath with Pickles the frog sitting on the wreath. So adorable. Before I show you my card let me tell you what that winner will win this week.

Now I want to tell you a little bit about my card before I show you. The card is a 6 inch circle made like a wreath with my image in the middle. I put light bulbs around the punched wreath. Here is the card and I hope you enjoy it. 

Is this not the most adorable image. I didn't want to put the girl in Christmas colors. I wanted her to have a lighter color to offset the original Christmas colors. I love the way it turned out but I did make it a little big. Here is the items that I used to make this card. 

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart

Paper -- DCWV

Circle Punch -- Martha Stewart (Triple Loop Edge Punch)

Christmas Lights -- A Tree For Me

I do hope you enjoyed this post and my card. Don't be afraid to leave me a comment to let me know what you think about the card. Of course, go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and look at the other cards that our design team made and then add your card for us all to see. Hope you have a wonderful week and I will see you next Sunday.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 188 "CHRISTMAS CARDS"

 

Welcome to the first challenge of December. Since it is the first we are making Christmas Cards. I love making Christmas Cards. This is a great time of the year for family, friends, and the gift of giving. I love seeing the kids open gifts and the expressions they make. I also hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and any other holiday that you celebrate. Our family has grown apart so much in the past years that we just have a little dinner with our kids and grand kids. Some years even that doesn't happen. Even though that I don't celebrate, I'm thankful everyday for something that has happened. I don't need one day of the year to do this.

 

Like you have seen twice before now we are doing Christmas Cards. Robyn is sponsoring the challenge this week. She let us choose anything in the category of Christmas to use. I picked out "Jolly Ole Santa." I thought this was a great image to use for this challenge. I have to Thank Robyn for letting me use this image. I had many ideas to do with it but with the holiday in the middle of the week, I was a little behind. I decided to stay with making a simpler card then my traditional ones. Even though it was a little easier to make, it still turned out very cute. If you would like to see more of her great images just click on this link Robyn's Fetish Store. Now let me tell you what she is giving to the lucky winner this week.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #162 "USE A DIGI"

 

I know I say it often but we are here at another Sunday. Where has my week gone? I can honestly say that the holiday weekend messed up my days. My daughter went back to school on a Tuesday and there's were I was behind on everything. Then my grandson stayed here on Thursday night and we had him all day Friday. He run his grandpa and grandma ragged. We went shopping, followed him on his bike because he just now started riding it himself, and playing with every toy he has here (and that's a lot). Then I was surprised Saturday when my son came up and brought all the grand kids so I could see them. They are growing like weeds. I enjoy all the time I get with them because they will get to that age where they will be saying "Do I have to go to grandma's." I remember them days from when I was little. It's funny how things repeat themselves.

 

Robyn is back as our sponsor for the next challenge. She keeps bringing out more and more images that I just love and never know which one I want to use for our challenge. This week was a great way to use a digi. I was able to pick from anything on her site and I did find one that I just loved. I know it's not Christmas but I chose a digi by the name of  "Rudolph Came To Town." My daughter thought I was crazy making a Christmas card but it's one less then I have to at the season. The prize for our lucky winner will get

Now here is the card that I made called Jingle Bells

 

 

After I cut Rudolph out the way I did it looked like he was flying over the moon. He was just to big for my circle so I came up with this. I think it turned out adorable. This is one of those cards that at the end I say "I really like how it turned out." My husband says I'm to hard on myself. Here are the items that I used for this card.

Sorry to say but this is an end of another post from me and the first for the month of June. I still can't believe it's June. Remember when you are entering the challenge to go to The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. You will also see all the projects from our fantastic design team on there. Hope you have a Wonderful Week and I will see you next Sunday.

 

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #136 IS HAVING FUN PLAYING A FRIENDLY GAME

 

It's Sunday already. Hope you had an exciting week. Mine, of course, was up and down. Our furnace was acting up so the heating company came out and said that my furnace was leaking Carbon Monoxide and shut it off and the gas. We went to bed with no heat. We did get an electric heater so all of us could stay in one room and stay as warm as possible. Long story short, Friday they finished everything and it's nice and cozy. I'm wondering if the carbon monoxide was making me sick these past couple of months.

 

This week we played Tic Tac Toe with our cards. This was a very unique technique. You get to use three things in a row on your card and nothing else. We didn't even put images on our cards this week. Let me show you the chart we had to look at.

Now I used the bottom row straight across. You will see all three of these items on the card that I made.

Dis Digi Downloads is our sponsor this week for the prize you will be winning. This is the prize they are giving out this week

Now here's the card that I made with the bottom row.

 

 

The glitter is part of the snow I made on the bottom and inside the star. I put some glitter on the tree but I don't know if you can see it that clearly. I hope you enjoy this technique for this week and enter here at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge. All the design team made different cards with this chart so to see all the great projects they made go to their blogs. They are listed on the sidebar. Have a great Sunday and I will see you next Sunday.
