ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 338 "HALLOWEEN CARDS"

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:

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More

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 # 325 "ANYTHING BUT A CARD"

Good Day to everyone!! This past week has not exactly been a normal one. First, summer has come at a very fast and hot pace. My window air conditioner won't even cool down our living room like it usually does. Second, I am sending prayers to all those that are in Texas and Nice, France. It has been really sad in this world this week. Let's get to something exciting.

As you can see, this week's sponsor is our very own Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. Robyn's was great in letting us pick our image for this challenge. She has had this image called "Angel Bear" and I wanted to work with it. I remembered that I had pictures of my daughter in a little Angel Outfit with Wings. There went the idea of another Scrapbook Layout since we had to make anything but a card. I call this layout "My Daughter, My Angel." 

This week's prize will be

3 Digital Stamps

Of

The Winner's Choice 

From

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More Store

On this layout I used a piece of paper that I have had for years with the Angels on it. I cut it in half and used it on the sides. I then used the pictures that my daughter was in and two of me with her. I couldn't cut myself out so they had to stay. Jelissa was 3 months old in these pictures. I took the image and made two of them with one flipped horizontally. Colored them pink and purple because that's what I loved her in at that age, Then wrote the sentiment in a Berry Rotunda font. The last thing is I added the Angel Embellishments. Here are the items

Cardstock --  Close To My Heart

Paper --  Masterpiece Studio's ( From Many Years Ago )

Glitter On Bear's Wing's --  Tree House Studio

Angel Embellishments  --  Make It Christmas ( Hobby Lobby )

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.

Lacy Sunshine Store.

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

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 #250 "VALENTINE CARDS"

Good Morning to everyone!! Hope everyone is doing OK today. Sorry for no post last week. I do hope you read Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to find out the previous challenge. It's always posted there if you don't find it here. I only miss a post if something was going on in my personal life and there was. Nothing that I really want to tell to everyone like this. So I'm going to get to the challenge now and next week I'm sure I will have great things to tell.

I can't believe that it is close to Valentine's Day already. Around here we just call it Hallmark Day. I don't need a special day to show my husband how much I love him. Imagine That!.... digis by Kris is our great sponsor for this week. Kris let me use her digital stamp called "Polar Love." This is a very cute image for Valentine's Day. There is a cute little bear and mouse under a mailbox with falling hearts. I just loved this image. Let me tell you what Kris will be giving as a prize for this week's challenge.

Imagine That!....digis by Kris Store

I'm excited to show you the image that I used on my card. So, here it is.

Isn't the image adorable. I did put my last name on the mail box. Not that my husband would know who this was from. I know it's a day that we do not celebrate, but this card goes perfect for the day. I love this stencil I used. All the hearts on it are wavy instead of just a straight line. I did use ink around the edges of the heart and the sentiment. I want to tell you all the items that I used to make this. There are a little bit more things used then normal.

I do hope that you will enter our challenge this week over at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. I do admit these are fun cards to make and you will have a chance to win the prize. So, I hope that you have a Wonderful Sunday and a Great Week.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #227 "USE A DIGI!"

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I know I am. I actually get to spend some time with my husband. We are always busy on the weekends to actually sit and just talk but with that extra day we will have that time. Yesterday we did spend the morning at another soccer game. The other team was a little aggressive and even one person took her elbow and hit Jelissa in her throat. Just out of reaction my daughter pushed her down. She knows she was wrong but she said it hurt really bad and she just reacted. There were a lot of girls that were getting hurt by things like that. I thought sports was suppose to be a fun thing not a wrestling match.

Well let's get to this challenge where we are using a digi. You can use any digital stamp that you want just make sure that it is a digital image. The Paper Shelter will be our sponsor for this week's challenge. They let me use an adorable image by the name of "Beach Boy." You can just imagine how adorable he is. I did make my card a little different with this image. I used things you may find at the beach with the image. I also used light brown papers on this instead of a lot of blue. Before I get to showing you my card let's see the prize for this week's winner.

Another great prize that we are giving to our lucky winner. So let me show you my card for a little inspiration.

I tried to make it look like the little boy had a little burn from the sun. I did this on his shoulders, arms and feet. Some people seen it but others did not. That's why I am telling you. His hair is covering his eyes but you still need those sunglasses. Here is the items I used to make this project.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 205 "BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A YOUNG CHILD"

Sunday is here again. Are we not all excited for this relaxing day. I am actually going to take this day off today just to give myself a break from all the drama that is going on around my life. Won't get into that but I really need one. Yesterday morning was not good for me. Don't laugh but this is a major thing that happened. My coffee maker quit working. That is the first thing I do in the morning is start that coffee pot. My husband was kind enough to run down to the little gas station and get me two big cups of coffee. I have been use to doing that for years and this was a disaster for me. So, of course, I did have to run in town and get me a new one. Didn't plan on going anywhere but this was an emergency for me. If your a coffee drinker you will understand what is like not to get that first cup of coffee. I could say that was a little drama that was my own and no one elses that everyone piles on me. Let's get to a great challenge this week.

Who doesn't know a young child that needs a birthday card? I know I have my grand daughter's birthday next month. She will be 2. I have many niece's and nephews to give one to. So this was a fun challenge for me. Our sponsor this week is Gerda's Doddles. I loved the little animals with their birthday cakes. The image that I used is called Pig with Cake. I don't think I ever used a pig before but he was cute. I'm glad that Gerda let me use this image. She is also giving away this prize to our lucky winner of the week.

Gerda's Doodles Store

Here is my card that I made with the Pig With Cake

 

Is he not adorable. My son said he looked like Maxwell from the commercials on TV. He's still adorable. I took a little string and attached the balloon to the pigs hand. I couldn't find my round balloons but I thought these would still work. I love the idea that I came up with the pig inside a balloon. It was just something different. Let me tell you the items that I used for making this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #204 "ANYTHING BUT A CARD"

Good Morning to all that is reading this. Nice Sunday morning so far. I have my grandson (Hayden) today.When my son has Hayden for the weekend he always wants to spend one of the nights here. It does make me feel a little guilty when he wants to be here with us. Sometimes we do say no so he will stay and visit with his father more. He spent the night last night and we had a great time. Taking him to the store was fun.  We let him pick out what he wanted for snack's and his breakfast. He actually picked out food that was good for him. He played all night with out wanting to watch a movie. He is so active that I fell asleep before he did. Thank goodness my daughter was here to stay up with him. Even though he goes to sleep late he still rises early. I just want a little bottle of his energy so I can use it a little bit each day. 

We have a fantastic sponsor this week. They are Lacy Sunshine and they have great digital images. I want to Thank them so much for letting me use Izzy Bella Boo, Cute As A Button. When I seen this image I knew what pictures I wanted to use with her. Pictures of my grand daughter (Remie.)  I'm still working on layouts for my family album. Since we could do anything but a card this was the perfect time to do another scrapbook layout. Let me tell you about the great prize they are giving one lucky winner this week. I would like to have this one.

Isn't this a sweet prize. Now, let me show you what I did with Izzy Bella Boo, "Cute As A  Button."

The background paper is many different pastel colors of butterflies. I used the image I had and flipped it so they were looking at each other on the page. I took the colors on one and switched them on the other one. Then I made sure I put two different colors of card stock behind the pictures. I did have fun putting the flowers together. I don't have much of a green thumb but I think I did good putting these together. Well let me tell you where all the items came from.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #189 "MUST HAVE A BOW"

 

Hello from snowy Ohio. Not as much snow as I would have liked but it's still snow on the ground and on the trees. We are suppose to get another two inches tonight but I will wait to see. I had my grand daughter yesterday and see was looking at the snow like she has never seen it before. She is only one and a half so maybe she hasn't seen much of the white stuff. I couldn't get her away from the door. Finally, I had to just pick her up to stop letting the cold in. He wasn't the happiest but I opened a blind and let her sit in a chair so she could see it and the dog having fun with the snow also. I have a Siberian Husky that loves this stuff so it is entertaining for the kids to watch her. My other dog wants nothing to do with snow, cold or her paws getting wet. She wears her sweaters every winter and still wants to sleep under a blanket. Never seen a dog like this one.

 

This week were allowed to make a card or anything else. I chose to make a layout this week with a couple of Christmas pictures from the past. Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner is our sponsor for this weeks challenge which is your project must have a bow on it. So, I made the pictures into presents with a bow on the top of them. I love when a project just works out for itself. This was a lot of fun to do and I realized that I need to get back into doing my layouts for my family album. This layout is in there already. Dragonsmoore was great with the image that they let me use. It's called Christmas Pressy Bear. He is a cute little bear that is delivering mail and also holding a small Christmas tree. Since the bear is delivering mail I made the title of my layout "Special Delivery." I really thought it all came together when I was finished. I want to Thank Dragonsmoore for the great image they let me use. Now let me tell you what they will be giving to the lucky winner this week.

Now I would like to show you the scrapbooking layout that I have made.

 

 

The image is in the corner and I added extra mail on the ground and some presents that the bear should be delivering. The frames with the red bows have a pattern on the paper that you may not see but I wanted you to know. Here are the great products that I used to make this "Special Delivery."
