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.

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.

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 #274 "CHRISTMAS IN JULY"

I hope everyone is having a nice start to their day. I'm still drinking the coffee to wake me up. It's been a very long and stressful week here. We are getting to the end of the loan process and hopefully close on our new home this Friday. The loan officer says that we will close and then he says it will be real close to it. I have everyone lined up to help me move and my husband took his vacation to try and get everything moved. He better make it work so we close Friday. I can clean our old house the week after. I am getting excited but preparing myself in case things don't work out the way it should. I will let you know how the process is going. 

We have a great sponsor that has been here before. It's Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner. Every Wednesday you would want to go and see the Freebie for the day. Who doesn't like free. She also has an amazing image called the Snowy Oak Tree. There is a lot of detail in this tree and I love the images with lots of detail. Since we were doing Christmas in July I used the cutest image. He is called, "Hedgie's Christmas Tree." He is trimming the tree with his son or could be daughter if you like. Bunch of presents under the tree they are working on. So, since we are doing Christmas in July I decided to make a scrapbook layout with more pictures from our Christmas in 2014. This one has pictures of my husband and him mom. It's very rare to get a picture of my husband so when I took these two I was lucky. I also never have made a scrapbook page with his mom on one. I also have two pictures of our Christmas Tree on the page. So let's see what Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner is giving to a lucky winner this week.

I'm really excited to show you this layout. I really think it turned out nice. So here it is.

I loved coloring the hedge hog. There are three different colors in his fur. I did use the lines and colored each one a different color. I think it turned out great. This was really a fun image to work with. I was going to make the image larger but then I thought that's all you would see more then the whole layout. This is the first layout that I used six pictures in. Trying to do something new with every layout. Here are the items I used to make this.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio & My Paper Stash

Paper -- DCWV & Canvas Corp.

Presents -- Dress It Up

3D Glitter Christmas Trees -- Christmas Crafts

Font -- Monotype

Sentiment -- Book Inspiration With Me Changing The Words Around

I'm not sure if I told you last week but I will be gone during August but always check back because I might get a chance to make some of the cards. I really hope you like my layout and please leave me a comment. You can see all the projects our wonderful design team made at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Invite your friends. I think everyone can make something for Christmas. See you all soon!!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE BLOG CHALLENGE #173 "PUT A FRAME AROUND IT"

Welcome to another challenge this Sunday. I think you will find this challenge fun. I did. When I seen that we are doing this challenge I had an idea in my head immediately. As you know, my blog is also about Making Memories. Growing up there were no pictures laying around for us to look at. There wasn't those family albums. I wanted to make my children a Family Memory book to see who their family is. My Grandson even asks who is in the picture. I had the picture in my mind when picking out my frame and I also switched things up by doing a scrapbook page to add to that book. It's a picture of my mom from mother's day. We have not spent mother's day together in over a decade. Many reasons behind that but now I can say that there is progress with this mother - daughter relationship.

Let's get to the sponsor of the week. Delicious Doodles is that sponsor. They were kind to our design team and let us pick one of their great frames. The frame I chose is called " HYDRANGEA AND BUTTERFLY FRAME." I had never had hydrangea flowers before so I had to look them up to see what colors they come in. When I seen they came in blue, I knew that was the color I wanted to use. Then I picked two colors that would look good with blue for the little frames I made. You will want to win this challenge so you can win the prize Delicious Doodles is giving. 

The Winner Will Receive

4 Digi's From The

Delicious Doodles Store

Now I'm excited to show you the layout that I made with this hydrangea and butterfly frame with the picture of my mom.

I hope you like my layout. It is done in traditional style scrapbooking then digital. I like digital but I like that I can make my own things to add to my page. Delicious Doodles made a beautiful frame and the hydrangea is absolutely beautiful. The flower in the upper left hand corner was a flower that I made by hand. A lovely woman named Edwina did a tutorial on making flowers and this is where I learned to make these kind of flowers. Thank You Edwina. Now, here is the list of the products I used to make this layout.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart

Paper -- The Paper Studio

Handmade Flower -- Butterfly Ribbon from Ribbon Trims

Blue Ribbon from Ribbon FX

Butterfly Embellishments -- K & C Company

Font -- Script MT Bold

Picture -- Taken By My Daughter

Colored Markers

Colored Pencils

Well I hope you enjoyed the layout and my post today. Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is where you need to go to put your project in. Just remember that you need to have a frame around a poem, picture or quote. I wish you a wonderful Sunday and a great week.



MY GRAFICO'S FEATURE MONDAY WITH BABY STAMPS

BABY STAMPS FEATURED AT MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE BLOG

Hope your having a Wonderful Monday Morning. I know I haven't been around for awhile but I have wrote a post letting everyone know of the things that has been happening around here and my life. It has been a scarey 2 months. I don't want to repeat myself about everything but I'm so glad to be back and scrapbooking. I'm a little rusty but I'm getting my crative juices a flowing.

The designer that we will be featuring this week is Zenware Designs. The Digital stamps are called Baby Stamps. Who doesn't like to make anything that is for babies? With me having grandchildren I love making things for them and of them. Let me show you the stamps that we were able to feature this Monday.

I didn't make a card this week but a scrapbook layout of my grandson when he was only 1 week old. This is one of my favorite pictures that I have of him. Let me show you this layout.

I hope that you like the layout. I tried to use almost all the images but these one's worked the best with the layout. The other Design Team Members have made some great projects made with these stamps. There are projects that I would never have thought of. If your looking for something different to make you really need to look at their blogs. Some of the projects would be great for a baby shower. I will see you next week with a new challenge with another great designer. Have a Wonderful Week and try to stay cool. It's going to really hot here this week.
