ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 323 "CHRISTMAS IN JULY"

Good Morning!! Thank You for visiting my post for today. This week's challenge is one of my favorites. Who does not like Christmas in July? This officially starts the ideas of what to get people for Christmas. If I don't start a little early I will eventually get way behind and I really don't want to do that. So, since I love this challenge so much let's get to it.

As you can see, Star Stampz will be our sponsor for "Christmas In July" challenge. I used the great image called "Christmas Elf Ornament." She is absolutely beautiful. I did name the card "Ready To Decorate." She is sitting on an ornament so I thought it was perfect name. Here she is

The winner will receive

Three Digital Stamps

Star Stampz

They do have beautiful stamps so here is another great prize for our challenge winner's. When I seen this was one of the stamps I could use I was excited. She was totally an image that would stand out screaming Christmas. I also had this brand new Die-Cut that I received a week before. I knew this was a perfect match. I had found poinsettia flowers last year on the Internet and made sure I bought enough for this year's cards. I don't think I bought enough though. The background paper with the ornaments was great because they kind of looked like the ornament on the image. I think the frame made things complete. I do love how the red and white looks. So, here is where I tell you the items I used.

Frame --  Spellbinders 5x7 Card Die-Cut Called "Mystical Embrace"

Well that's where everything came from. I just came up with the idea of what to make. I really hope you liked this card. This has been one of my favorites that I have done in awhile. Remember that all you have to do is go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog  and enter your Christmas in July Card. It's very simple and we love seeing what you make.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #254 "PEARLS OR GEMS"

Good Morning to everyone out there. Hope you have had a great week. Mine has not been a good one. I love the snow but the ice that hides under it is horrible. I have actually fell twice this week that has really messed up my back and it has made my neck really sore. I was more embarrassed when I fell in front of my daughter and her boyfriend. We were leaving their Winter Concert and on my way to the car I fell on black ice. Walked out to the school the same way but on the back that ice was there. That was also the first night that I met her boyfriend and his parents. I will never forget that night now when I met him.

We have a new sponsor this week and I think you will really like her work. I was buying her images before she sponsored us this week. Aurora Wings is this great sponsor I have been talking about. If you get a chance you really need to see her store. The image that she let me use for this challenge is called "Camellia Sprite." She has beautiful flowers and a butterfly in and around her hair. I found this paper that I thought would be great to go with her. Looks a little antique. I'm really excited to show you my card so you can see this beautiful image so I will tell you what she is giving to that one lucky winner.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #253 "USE A DIGI"

Hello Everyone!!! Hope you are having a nice weekend and waking up to a great Sunday morning. Today is the 1st of March. I knew it was coming but it was to fast. Then I find out that next weekend is time change. That always messes me up for the first week but I love when it's light for more hours. Feels like you can do a lot more in a day with more daylight. It also makes it seem like warm weather will be coming soon so the kids will go outside and not cooped up here with me. They have cabin fever really bad. I'm the only one in the family that likes winter.

Robyn is going to sponsor our challenge this week. She is great at letting us use her great images for our projects. I actually used one of the newer digital stamps that she has. The stamp is called "Easter Egg Tree." I chose this one because it is cute and it would make a great card for Easter. The tree is full of Easter eggs hanging from it and I added a few around the bottom of it. It's always great to show you the digital images that Robyn's has in her store. So you have many images you could chose from with the prize that she is giving this week's winner.

So now that you have read the prize and who our sponsor is, let me show you the card that I made with the "Easter Egg Tree."

I really hope that you liked the card.  I wanted to make the eggs on the tree look pastel but they seem to come out a little darker then I had wanted. I had these bunny embellishments and wanted to use them on this card. I think they look perfect for the theme I made the card. So, now I would like to tell you the products that I used to make this.

Well, I'm done with my first post of March. I really hope this month goes a little slower because Easter is coming soon. I have no clue what to get the grand kids. I will have to start looking. Well, I need to start my Sunday laundry and try to sneak in some crafting time. I hope you have a Great Week and I will be back next Sunday.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #252 "BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR A TEENAGE GIRL"

Good Morning again for another Sunday Challenge. Believe it or not this is the last challenge for the month of February. This is also the weekend of the first major snow storm for the winter. I know people may think I'm crazy but I am loving it. It's so pretty watching the snow fall and how it looks on the trees outside. My daughter has been out of school all last week and my husband was told that they weren't going to work either. I have had the whole family home this past week. It's been nice spending some time together but I think my daughter is getting cabin fever. She actually loves going to school and she is missing her soccer practices. This is great Ohio weather. That's why I won't live anywhere else. I have always said that winter was my favorite season.

I like the challenge that we have this week. Now that my daughter is a teenager this was perfect for me to do. Deedee's Digis is our great sponsor for this week. I just love the different categories they have in their shop. I picked the digital stamp called "Fluttering By." This has a butterfly by itself and also a butterfly on a flower. I used the one with the flower. I have so many people in my family that loves butterflies it seemed perfect to make a teenage card with them. Before I go on to show you my card with this beautiful image, let me tell you about the prize Deedee's Digis is giving to one lucky winner.

Now, let me show you the card I made with "Fluttering By."

I knew that this paper would be perfect for this image. I added the maroon and purple cardstock behind the butterfly paper just to make it pop a little bit more. I thought the added flowers looked good with the flower I colored under the butterfly. I've heard the sentiment before so that's what I used. I just don't know if I heard them together of at different times. I think it went well together. Here is what I used to make this card for a teenager.

Have a Wonderful Week and I will see you next month. LOL

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 know that's a lot of items but I only used a little of each one. I did have fun making this one. I wish it would have fit in my first sketch but this turned out really cute. 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 #247 "VINTAGE STYLE"

It's a beautiful Sunday here at the Michael house. My husband and I went on a date alone for the whole day yesterday. It was the most Wonderful day that we had in a long time. I won't bore you with everything we did but I will tell you we went to the movies to see "American Sniper." This is on heck of a movie. I won't tell you my reactions because I will not spoil it for anyone but if you want to see something with true meaning this is the movie to see. I learned from it and I thought I knew more.  

Now to the challenge at hand. As you can see we are doing cards in a "Vintage Style." Our sponsor for this challenge is A Day For Daisies. I was able to chose a digital image called "Poppy In My Hair." She is a beautiful girl with birds and poppies in her hair. This image is only the face of the girl and her hair is hanging down to what would be the bottom of her back. A Day for Daisies has been good to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and they have wonderful images that they let us use. This week they are also giving to one winner this gracious prize.

The Day For Daisies Store

Now I would like you to see the card that I made with "Poppy In My Hair."

I really hope you like her. She is a very beautiful lady with the birds and poppies. Since this was a vintage style card I used paper from a paper pack that I have that has all kind of Vintage Paper in it. This paper showed the ladies that would be back in that era and there are more things but they are covered by my image. I had some embellishments that were used from another vintage project and the doilies were in a drawer that I cleaned out just to see what was in there. So, here are the items that I made this card with.

Sunday and I will see you next Sunday. 

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #246 "MYTHICAL CREATURES"

Good Morning!!! How was your week? My husband ended up not working this week because of the temperatures and wind chills under 0 degrees and my daughter was home all week also. A lot of family time this week. I even talked my husband into watching a scary movie with me and listen to him laugh through the whole thing. Oh well, it was time together without kids. Speaking of kids, my first born asked his girlfriend to marry him this week and she said yes. He called me before he did it to get my opinion and make sure I was OK with it. I thought that was so sweet of him. It's great he still talks to me the way he use to. I will always support my kids no matter what. Congratulations Joshua and Jodi.

This weeks challenge was different for me. I know the image I used, Whimsical Dragon, was really adorable. I had a hard time of how I was going to make it whimsical but the dragon done it all for me. The image I used was from The Paper Shelter. They are our sponsor this week.

They have an awesome site so I hope you go and visit them. Their giving away a great prize as you can see from above. Who wouldn't want to spend $15 on some digital stamps. Valentine's Day is coming. You can get those cards started now. 

Here is my Whimsical Dragon that I made into a Birthday Card.

I loved the sentiment. I know that it's used a lot but I thought it was perfect for this card. I have a little girls birthday coming up so I think this would just be perfect unless she hates pink. Then I would have to do one in her favorite color. Here are the items I used to make this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #244 "ANYTHING GOES"

Good Morning on this last Sunday of this year. I can not believe that we will be starting 2015 this week. I have been wondering where this year has gone to. Did everyone have a great Christmas? Mine was good. Going to my son's house for dinner was different. The evening went great. All the kids faces were so adorable when they were opening presents. They didn't eat to much either with all the the toys that they had to play with. I tried to help with dinner and dishes but my son wouldn't let me. So I came home at the end of the evening and had nothing to do but sit and relax watching the lights on the tree. Wonderful!!!

Well, we have a great sponsor this week. She is Stamp Art Design By Kathryne. Many designs for you to choose from if you win the challenge this week. The image that I used was Hollybelle. The image is an angel bear with some mistletoe and bells on her.I started on her last weekend with a great idea and started working in it. I had the image colored and the background for the bear cutout. Looking for a poem that I wanted to put on the page was hard to find. So I had to change my idea. That didn't work either then there was Christmas Eve and Christmas. So I finally made a card with some of the things I wanted to do on the layout. I want to show you my card but let me tell you about this great prize.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #243 "CHRISTMAS TAGS"

Hope everyone is having a Good Sunday morning. I'm getting off to a slow start but after a few cups of coffee I should be good as new. I still have shopping to do today and I have not even wrapped my first present yet. Now that my daughter is out of school maybe she can help me because I'm still sick from last week. I hope I start feeling better because my son and his new girlfriend has invited us to dinner on Christmas Eve. This is a first for us as parents to have one of our children to have us over for dinner. This is all they had to give us for Christmas. I don't have to cook the meal this year. Wonder what it's going to feel like not cooking. I might be lost.

Christmas tags is a very rare challenge but it's great to make your own special tag to give to someone special in your life. Oak Pond Creations is our sponsor this week. She has very cute images for you to look at and even buy some to make your own tags. I chose the image "Reindeer." Something different then making a more Santa Clauses. I did enjoy making this and I have that special person that I want to give it to you. The reindeer from Oak Pond Creations is really adorable. The antlers was the first thing I saw and thought they were so neat. You will have to see them. So, let's get to the prize so I can show you my tag.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #242 "WINTER CARDS WITH GLITTER"

Rise and Shine!! It's now time for our Sunday challenge of the week. It's been to warm here to feel like winter but it's not stopping the flu and colds from spreading around. My son was sick and of course he is here every day with me. So, of course, he decided to share so when I think I'm getting better I now have one of the worst sinus infections ever. I have not been well enough to get a flu shot that would at least help somewhat. This has thrown me off my schedule of getting all my stuff done before Christmas. My husband is actually going to put the tree up and get the ornaments on it. I'm so glad someone can get that done. Now let's get to this week's challenge

Broken Box Stock is our sponsor this week. They have great images and also have clip-art, vector graphics and freebies. When you get time you should check them out. I was lucky to work with their digital image "Sled Ride Toodle." She is a cute little girl sitting on her sled. I tried to find a way for her to look like she was coming down a hill but it didn't work. So I do hope you like what I did with the image. But first, let's see what Broken Box Stock is giving the winner.

3 Digital Stamps (Except Sets)

Her is Sled Ride Toodle herself.

I hope you like her. The star paper is all silver. Every time I took the picture the stars came out different colors but they are all silver. I just then used different shapes and put them around the paper. I put more on then I thought because the sentiment that I had didn't fit. But here is what I did use.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #241 "CHRISTMAS CARDS"

Welcome to the first weekend of December. This really makes it feel like it's Christmas and the thought of not having your shopping done starts to worry you. Well my husband and I decided to get started on some shopping done yesterday. We really did get some of the shopping done but by time we returned home I could not move. All the gifts are still in the trunk except the ones we were afraid might burst with the cold outside. I did find something really cute that I don't think I have ever seen before. Pink Christmas wrapping paper. The store had a little bit of a variety but this color will be cute on my grand daughters gifts. Not a real gift but it put a smile on my face. I won't bore you with all the things but I think I will do more through the week by myself with less confusion. 

Well, we are lucky again this week. Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps & More is sponsoring us for our Christmas cards this week. We get to use one of her great images to use for our cards. So, the image that I chose was Christmas trees. There are two trees side by side with snow on them. I thought the trees was something different that I don't think I have done. This is the great prize that she will be giving that winner this week.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps & More

So here is my card that I made.

I do hope that you like the way I made my card. I was trying to go with a the focus on the trees but also wanted to add a traditional look. I wanted to make a tree farm but couldn't sketch it out where it looked good. To much on my mind this week I think. This is the items that I did use to make this Christmas tree card.

This is a really great prize for one of you to win this week. So, with these three penguins I decided to make and easel card that was different then I have been doing for a little while. I want to give my card a little change. So here is "Three Party Penguins."

Are those penguins not precious. I had a snowflake edge punch that I used a the top and put some glitter on the snowflakes all over the rest of the card. I went through my box of embellishments and found the tree and the jingle bells saying. Just thought it was a good choice for the sentiment. Here are the items that I used to make this easel card. I also want to Thank Edwina from our design team for helping me with the measurements that I did forget to make one of these cards.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #238 "THINGS WITH WINGS"

Hello on this early Sunday morning. Have you seen any snow yet where you live. We have been having flurries but tonight we are suppose to get 2 - 4 inches tonight into tomorrow. I love the snow and this is my favorite season but I'm not ready for snow days from the schools. I am grateful that it's going to hit this evening. My grandson's birthday party starts at noon. It's hard to believe that he is five already. Next year he will be in kindergarten. I still remember the day that his father was starting his kindergarten year. The bus didn't pick him up the first day and he was upset. It's funny how I remember these things but my kids don't. They think I'm telling them stories all the time.

Although it's close to the winter season my card is a summertime card. I think it turned out good if I say so myself. Delicious Doodles is our sponsor this week. If you visit their site they have a new beautiful Poppy Wreath that is new on their site. I was so grateful that they let me use the image "Daisies and Butterflies." When I picked this I new exactly what paper that I wanted to use. This image is really pretty and I enjoyed making it look like my own. Delicious Doodles is also giving away this following prize.

Let me show you how the paper and the image look together. I hope you think that everything looks good together.

I tried to make my daisies look like the ones on the paper. They look a little darker when it's in front of you. These embellishments were perfect for this card also. I do like when everything comes together. Here are the items that I used to make this "Daisies and Butterflies" card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #236 "THANKSGIVING"

Good Morning!! Hope everyone's Sunday is getting off to a good start. Did everyone ( who has to ) remember to turn your clocks back? I did but my husband takes care of changing them all. The first week of a time change for me is miserable. It throws off my schedule really bad. I don't know why it does but it certainly does. I really am not looking forward to it getting dark so early at night. I'm not a good night driver so I don't go to many places that I do in the summer. Well hope you all enjoy it.

We have our great Robyn that is sponsoring us this week with our Thanksgiving cards. I some times think Thanksgiving is a forgotten holiday. First you have Halloween and then boom, Christmas takes over. Robyn let us use an image from her Thanksgiving images. I chose "Pilgrim Gal." She is a cute little gal just standing there looking like she can't remember what's next to do. How do you keep up on this holiday? Robyn will be giving the winner of this challenge

Let me show you the card that I made with "Pilgrim Gal."

I know that I don't ave food on here but thought the sentiment was great for Thanksgiving. I love this paper that I found and wanted to use an orange that matched the paper. I did add the sunflowers to make it look more like a fall card. I don't know why but I can't seem to get the sentiment to come out not being blurry. I'm still working on it to see what I'm doing wrong. This may be the time to get out my photography book and do some reading. Here are the items I used to make this card.

Well I finished another post and it's on the first weekend of November. October was not here very long. Let's see how fast this month goes. I hope you enjoyed my card and make sure you take a look at the other design teams cards here at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. There are great cards for Thanksgiving. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a Wonderful Week

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 212 "SHAPED CARDS ONLY -- NO RECTANGLE OR SQUARE CARDS"

Hello Everyone!! Hope you are having warmer weather then we are here. Had temperatures in the 80's and this morning it's on 60 something out. Were not suppose to get warm again until the end of this week. Which will be nice because my daughter has a parade on Saturday for Marching Band. Every year they honor the veterans in parades or cemeteries. The one year I couldn't go because my Grandmother passed the December before and the band was performing where she was and very close to her stone. It is very nice that they do this. So I hope you all have a Wonderful Memorial Day!! 

This week our challenge is a fun one. Seeing all the shapes of cards that people come up with is amazing. I always want to know how they made them but I don't have time to do them all. I can honestly say that I had creative block on this one. I know I have made many but just couldn't think this week. My image from Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner did help me decide my shape. I used the image "Not Mushroom for a Mouse House -- # 3877." This is the way it is listed in their store. I love little animals so this was the perfect image for me. Also, Dragonsmoore, Spyders Other Corner has some of the cutest images that you will see. They are also offering this generous prize to this week's lucky winner.

Now that you know the image I used I will tell you that the shape I used is a hexagon. I actually made it a little easy on me. I printed the image inside the hexagon. Easier for me. Here is my card.

I made the card a little brighter when I was putting it on the computer. For some reason it kept turning out real light. could be when I took the picture. I usually take them at a certain time of the day but I had things to do so I did it early. I knew I had this image so when I put in another order from Dress It Up I seen this and had to get them. They are part of their new collection. Well here is the items I used to made this adorable card.

Paper -- K & Company

Mice -- Dress It Up

Butterflies -- K & Company

Not that many items but I think it did the job for this card. Well it's time for me to go. I have laundry to do before husband and daughter go back to work and school. It's a never ending job. I don't mind doing it if I didn't have to fold it. I fold it and my daughter just puts the pile on the floor in from of her dresser. Well I hope you have a great day and I will see you next Sunday. Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 207 "MUST HAVE A HAT IN THE IMAGE"

What a wonderful Sunday morning. We are definitely having a touch of spring here today. The weather men are saying we will have snow in the middle of the week. This is crazy weather and it is messing with my allergies. We just need the weather to stay the same now. Winter should definitely be over by now. Easter is next weekend and it would be nice to have some great weather. Next weekend is going to be really busy. My grand daughter turns 2 on Friday. Her birthday party is on Saturday and then Easter on Sunday. I also need to figure out how to go to the store to get things but I have no car right now. My husband starts a new job tomorrow and he needs the car. We are looking for something in our price range but we are having a hard time with that. The car has to be so old and the mileage has to be low in order to get a loan. Weird how they do things these days.

Well, I want to move on to the challenge this week because I think it is a great one. I have this cute little image that Just Some Lines let me use. It is called EMO -- Flower Filled Day. She is a cute little girl that is wearing this big hat that is bigger then her. She also has flowers that are in front of her. I can't wait to show you this image. Just Some Lines is our sponsor this week and I love the images there. They are adorable. I hope you will check them out. They are giving a generous prize this week for our lucky winner. I'm sure you would like to know. Here it is.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 206 "EASTER"

Good Morning!! I'm seeing sun and it is beautiful. Just wish the temperature would corporate with the sun. I have some great news to tell you all this week. My daughter who is always on the A & B honor roll made it on the all A honor roll. This is a bright girl that does her homework on her own. We never have to ask her to do it. We always had to with the two boys. My boys are a little mad when I talk about her grades. They were never interested in school so I'm glad they went to career centers their junior and senior year. It payed off because they both have good jobs. You still have to give that congratulations to her and I'm so proud of you. She told me yesterday that she would like to go to college in Florida and I said no way. She then says if she gets a scholarship to go to one down there that there is nothing I could do about it. You have to go where you get the scholarship is. There still is no way. She has four years for me to change her mind. 

Well, lets get to the challenge at hand. We are all doing Easter cards and we are getting our images from The GreatRobyn is our sponsor for this week's challenge. She always has great images to work with. The image I chose this week is called Easter Egg. I seen this and thought of a cute card. Cut the card out as an Easter Card. I only did something like this once before so I thought it would be fun to do again. Here is the prize that she will be giving the lucky winner this week.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 202 "CARDS FOR A YOUNG BOY"

Good Morning to all. How did everyone like last week's challenge of everything goes? Those are the best challenges of all. Hope you all had a great week. We are getting ready for track season. Signing up, buying shoes, headbands and of course the  physical. This is adding up real quickly. She couldn't find some nice lower costing shoes. She has to pick ones that were over $80.00. I hope her feet don't grow for a couple of season's. Soccer practices are over until the summer which is great. I won't be trying to run her from one sport to the next. I do get a little break because her practices are right after school and all I have to do is pick her up. This is going to be weird getting use to. Well, there's my little tidbit of my life so let's get to the challenge at hand.

For some reason I like doing cards for boys and babies. Having a grandson gives me a lot inspiration. My boys do to. I remember things that they did when they were very young. Milk Coffee Stamps is our great sponsor for this week's challenge. They have the cutest images of boys and in all there other categories. I chose Soccer Boy from their boys category. I chose this one partly because of my daughter. I have a lot of embellishments and stuff for the card from making things for her. How lucky can I be. Here is the prize for the winner of this week's challenge

Let me show you my card for the soccer boy.

I did have a hard time to make the soccer ball to turn out right. I looked at all her pictures and still couldn't get it to look right. My husband did remind me that not all soccer balls are the same so I went with this one. I did make the tips of his hair look like they were bleached out to match the style these days. Let me give you the items that I used for this card. It's not a long list.

Paper -- From My Paper Stash

Embellishments -- Dress It Up

While there, our design team made cards that will give you some inspiration. Hope the rest of your day is great and your week is wonderful.
