LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS CHALLENGE "ANYTHING GOES"

Welcome to another "Anything Goes" challenge. We all know that we love these kind of challenges because you can show anything that you would love to share. I'm sure their are projects out there that are just waiting to be seen but need a challenge like this to show them off. I love to see all the different projects they are being made. I sometimes would love to try and make something close to something different that I never seen before. We all would like to add something new to show how diverse we can be. We all know that this challenge will have three sponsors. So, let's go and meet the first one and see what they will be giving one of our lucky winner's. 

Sponsor #1

Cottage Rose Graphics

I love this etsy store. I really love vintage and they have vintage graphic images and vintage advertising. There are more categories but I wanted you to know that they do have vintage because there are a lot of people out there that make wonderful projects with the vintage images. Cottage Rose Graphics will be giving a prize of  $20.00 for you to spend in their store. I'm sure there are a lot of you that would love to get this prize. I know I would. On to the second sponsor.

Sponsor #2

Ching-Chou Kuik

As you can see by their banner, they have beautiful images. There are a lot of fairies and adorable girl images. This is one that you definitely need to go and look at. They also have fantasy art as you can also see by their banner. The projects that were made with these images are beautiful. They are on the Challenge Blog. Ching-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art is giving 3 digital images for their prize. Another one that you would love to work for.  Now, to the third sponsor and the one that I chose my image from.

Sponsor #3

Fresh Brewed Designs

Let me show you the image that I used from Fresh Brewed Designs, It is called Row Of Ornaments which makes you think of Christmas

Fresh Brewed Designs is also a nice store and has different categories then the others we have already talked about. They  have the digital images but they also have digital paper and digital sentiments to use. You can make a whole project by going there and getting all that stuff. You can do some of this with the prize they are giving which is 3 Digital images. You would then only have to buy the sentiment and the paper. Now I will show you the Scrapbook Layout that I made with a Row of Ornaments.

I thought a card would be to easy to make since there wasn't much you could have made with it. At least I couldn't come up with a more colorful card. I have, as you know, been trying to scrapbook layouts for my family album. I have done more this year then I have for the last four years.

I hope you enjoyed learning about our sponsors and the layout that I created for this challenge. I will let you know that I will not be doing a project in August due to me moving. So I will see you in September and have a Wonderful rest of summer before those children go to school. Just bring your projects to Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. 

  

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #256 "ADD A BOW"

Good Morning. Welcome to the first weekend of Spring. I know a lot of people are real excited for this season to arrive. I will just miss the snow. I do have some exciting news from the home front. My daughter went to get her temps yesterday and she passed. She is bouncing off the walls and wants to know when we are going to start teaching her to drive. We didn't do it yesterday because this week has been very hectic and we are taking the weekend off from going anywhere. I feel so old now that my last child is getting her license. Then there will be the dating and off to college before we know it. I have had kids my whole life since I graduated high school and don't know what I will do without them. I'm sure I will figure it out when the time comes.

Well this week we have a great challenge and it's easy to do. Just add a bow to your project. You can find many things to add a bow to. I was lucky and found a beautiful ribbon to make a bow from that matched my card perfectly. The image that I used this week is from Fresh Brewed Designs. You  should see the cute images that she has for Easter. You will want to win this challenge and get one of those Easter images. The image that I used from their store is called "Banana's Over You." It's two monkeys sitting at a table drinking out of the same milkshake. This image reminds my of those old ice cream shoppes. Before I show you my card I want to tell you what Fresh Brewed Designs is giving to one lucky winner.

Great Prize if you ask me. Banana's Over You is my image and here is my card to show you what it looks like. See if you think it looks like one of those ice cream shoppes.

This is such a cute image and the paper that I found to make the card worked perfectly. I tried to make the straws look like the older ones but couldn't get it to work so they are just plain red. Here are the items that I used to make this card.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio & DCWV (Nana's Kitchen)

Cupcake Embellishments -- The Paper Studio (Knick Knacks)

Banana's & Ice Cream Cones -- Dress It Up

Bow -- Ribbon Boutique (Couture Ribbon)

Pop-Ups -- The Paper Studio (Sticky Doos)

Colored Pencils

Wow. Looks like there is more there then what I used. I wanted to make sure you knew where everything came from. I enjoyed making this one and coloring the image. Well lets see what you can do. Just enter over at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and when you are there look at the other design teams creations. Let them know what you think of them. I will see you in a week and I hope it's a great one for you.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 217 "AT THE BEACH"

Hello to everyone this Sunday morning. It's sunny here and the weather is great. We have actually had two 90 degree days this past week and we are expecting two this coming week. Summer is really starting out with some heat. I'm glad that my daughter's soccer practices are in the early morning. I would rather be tired then really hot waiting on her. This is also the last week of June already. Pretty soon we are going to be thinking about Christmas. People always say Christmas in July. I have also seen count down on different blogs. I try and not look at them. I don't need a count down just yet.

Fresh Brewed Designs is our sponsor for a great challenge this week. Who doesn't think about being at the beach? I think this was the perfect challenge since yesterday was the first of summer. All kinds of summer activities will be going on in the next couple of months and one of our favorites is swimming. I was glad that Fresh Brewed Designs let me use their digital image "My Island." Everyone always ask if you were on an island what would you like to have there. I would take my family. Fresh Brewed Designs has a great shop for you to go and look at. I would look because the prize that they are giving out this week is a great one.

It is a great prize. For my little island this is the card that I made. I hope that you like it.

All The Animal Embellishments -- Dress It Up
