ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 194 "NO PATTERN PAPER - CARDSTOCK ONLY"

 

It's Sunday again and I hope it has started off to a good start for you all. Still dreary here but much warmer then it was at the first of the week. We had temperatures of -7 below and wind chills that made it feel like it was -35 below zero. The kids ended up getting another 2 days off added to their Christmas break. Then the day that they went to school they were on a two hour delay. My sons had to work in it the first day but was called on the second day. They were in so many sweat shirts and still could not warm up. I was burning up in the house with raising the temperature. That's what I do hate about their jobs but it's what they love to do. Not to many people actually like the work they do.

 

This week we have a very interesting challenge. At first I was wondering what I was going to do. We were only aloud to use card stock. No pattern paper at all. I did figure something out and I think it is fun. Took a little long to do the sewing on it though. Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Digi Stamps. They let me work with this great image called Sewing Sunbonnet Measuring. This so adorable. She is actually in the middle of making some piece of clothing. Bugaboo Stamps has many of these sunbonnet girls that you can chose from.  Here is the prize that they will be giving on lucky winner of this challenge.

Here is the card that I called The Things We Do. I thought this would be a great card for two best friends and the things they do together.

 



 

I loved the little embellishments that I found to go with this. I sewed the cardstock to make it look like your making something. I really like the old looking sewing machines. Let me tell you what I used to make this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 193 "USE A DIGI"

 

Good Morning everyone!! Hope every one's Christmas and New Year's was great. I had my ups and downs. Let's just say that December went real fast and it was January before I knew it. I have had many problems with my computer. It was hacked twice and I lost a lot of e-mails. My Internet provider just shut my e-mail off and didn't even tell me. If my husband hadn't called them I have no idea when I would have figured it out. My cell phone was also hacked to. They made a pretty great bill for me. It was a little over $5,000. Try focusing on Christmas with all this other stuff happening. Since my December is a great big story, let's get to the challenge at hand.

 

Robyn is the sponsor of this weeks challenge. She let us pick one of her digi's from her

store and I picked an image called Peter Da Puppy. This puppy is in pot that looks like a watering can. There is beautiful flowers around him. I found paper that had vibrant flowers to use as the background. I tried to make the flowers by the dog match the flowers on the paper I used. I did add a couple of bees around the flowers. Let me tell you what Robyn is giving to the winner of this challenge.

Now let me show you my card Peter Da Puppy.

 

 

I hope you can see how the flowers match the paper. I had learned a technique last weekend and I think it kind of worked here. What I learned was pull the colors from your background paper and try to add it to your picture. Now, I'm just learning this so not all my cards will have that until I get better at doing this. Here are the items that I did use to make this card.

 

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & The Paper Studio

Paper -- K&Company

Flower -- Orange (Kaiser Company); White (Petaloo)

Bee's -- Dress It Up

Colored Markers

Colored Pencils

 

Well I'm at the end again. If you would like to enter our challenge just go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and add your card to the challenge. You can add up to three times on each challenge. Don't forget to look at the other design teams cards and leave them a little love. Hope the rest of your Sunday is great and have a Wonderful Week!!

 

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 191 "USE SILVER OR GOLD"

 

Good Morning!! Hope everyone is doing well this Sunday morning. I would like to apologize to everyone including my design team sisters for not having my post on here last week. I did have the card done and it was posted on Robyn's challenge blog. I ended up getting really sick and was in bed for three days. Still not feeling the greatest but good enough to work on things that I need to get caught up on. I don't even have any gifts wrapped for Christmas yet and my kids and grand kids are coming up on Christmas Eve. My grand kids will be with their mom on Christmas day. It's hard to come from broken families. It's very hard to get things planned that everyone can come and be together. Sometimes it does not work. Well I will let you know next week how things turned out.

 

Well, I want to get to the challenge for this week. We are making cards that have gold or silver on it. You really need to make sure that you see the gold or silver for your card to qualify. Just want you to know. Our sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter. I really loved the image that I was allowed to use for this challenge. She is called "Snow Angel." She's a cute little girl that is laying in the snow making her own snow angel. Since we had to use one of the colors I used silver for the snow on the ground. Before you see my card I want you to see what The Paper Shelter is giving to the lucky winner this week.

Now here is my card with the image of "Snow Angel."

 

 

I hope that you can see the silver on the card. The paper has silver swirls and stuff and I hope I have enough glitter on the ground of her snow angel. I wanted to put the snowflakes on there to make it look like it's still snowing out. Here are the items I used.

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."

 

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart

Paper -- Close To My Heart

Title -- Cricut Cartridge (Storybook)

Glitter -- Ranger (Star Dust)

I hoped that you liked the layout. Of course, I love it because it has pictures of my family. I put the journal on the back so it didn't take up to much of the layout. I hope that you will try this challenge out. Make your project and just go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to enter it. The projects from last weeks challenge was amazing. So many ideas out there. You can take one thing and not one card will be the same. I think that is great. Well I hope to see you next Sunday for another one of Robyn's Challenges. Enjoy the rest of your day and have a Great Week.

 



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 #187 "VINTAGE STYLE"

 

Good Sunday morning. Glad to see you here again. We have another great challenge this week. One I'm sure you will love. I know I did. Let me give you a little summery of my week. I am praying for all those that lost their homes in the huge tornado storm this week. Their was so many power outages in Illinois but also Indiana, Michigan and the tip of Ohio. If I missed a state I'm sorry. I knew there were a lot in Michigan because that is where he was sent for storm manage. He's a lineman. He puts up the wires and works on the transformers. He sent pictures to me everyday. Some I thought he was trying to give me a heart attack. Where he was, there were 300,000 homes without power. His crew worked for 15 hours a day and there many more out there. He just came home yesterday and was so exhausted that he went right to sleep. Let's say he went to sleep after he seen his daughter. He really misses the kids when he's gone like that. This trip was shorter then the one he took last year to New York. I'm just glad that he's home and safe. I'm proud of the work he does. They put a lot of lines and transformers up to get people their electricity. I'm sure their are still people out their without power but believe me, they are doing it as fast as they can. I have learned a lot since my son started this job. Well I'm done with my summary and now on to the challenge for this week.

As you seen in our title we are working on "Vintage Style." Something new that I don't think we have done. So, I'm excited to see your projects. Our sponsor this week is Create With TLC. I will tell you that their images are great and I have seen many that I'm going to purchase. They will make great layouts and cards. Create With TLC allowed me to work with one image from a set of different styles. Mine is from the set Spring Time in Fashion. This is a lady that I tried to color in vintage colors. Yes, I cheated a little, I had a book of vintage articles. It did help me though. Let me tell you what you are working for this week. Great prize!!
