INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE "BLACK & WHITE WITH ONE OTHER COLOR"

Good Monday Morning!! Starting my day here with Sunshine and no rain. We have had a touch of Spring here so it was real nice to sit and enjoy the weather outside. The only thing is that it's getting muddy around here where the snow is still melting. 

We have one sponsor this week and they are Bugaboo Stamps.

And this is the prize you will be winning for the challenge.

I love this badge. It is cute for telling everyone what their prize will be. 

I was able to use Bears in a Frame for the image that I used for this challenge. It turned out way better then I thought it was going to. I would like to Thank Bugaboo Stamps for letting me use this on. I haven't done many black and white cards. Actually, I have only done one. Here is the card that I made. The one other color I used was brown because of the bears.

I think it turned out cute. A lot better then I thought when I started the card. There is white around the black frame but you can't see it very much. I'm going to give you my little list of the items that I used.

I said it was a short list. I hope you get some inspiration from this card and the other design team's card. Just go to Incy Wincy Monday Challenge and you can see them all and add your card to the challenge. Have a Wonderful Week and I will see you next Monday.

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

3 Digital Stamps

The Winner's Choice

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

I can't believe that I'm done with my post already. This went by real quick. I want to remind you again to go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to add you cards about young boys. 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.

INCY WINCY'S MONDAY CHALLENGE "ANNIVERSARY"

  

Another Monday here again. I had a busy week working on some layouts. I haven't done any for a while. I'm trying to do at least one per event that has been going on. I'm working on a soccer one from my daughter's team this year. Another good note is we have two sponsor's this week. That means, of course, two winner's. Yeah!!! Everyone likes it when they have two chances to win a prize then one. 

Our first sponsor is Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. 

I loved the stamps and had a hard time finding one. I did use one of these images for my card that I will tell you in a little bit. Dr. Digi's will be giving one lucky winner 2 Digital Images.

This is our second sponsor Zlatoena's.

They will be giving away 2 Digital Images to our second lucky winner from their etsy store. They have cute digi's also. So I can't wait to see who our two lucky winner's will be.

I told you that I used an image from Dr. Digi's House Of Stamps. It was from the Cuddly Critter section. I chose an elephant. I read the challenge wrong and thought I was making it for a different challenge. So, when I see it said Anniversary, I freaked out. It took me a couple of hours but I did come up with this cute card. I think the saying went well with the image. Here it is

I think it turned out cute. All the paper does have glitter on it. You can see a little bit of it in this picture. This is also the first time I used these flowers. I ordered from a different company and I really like these. So here's the items that I used to make this.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & My Mind's Eye

All Little Flowers & Leaves -- Wild Orchid

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 201 "ANYTHING GOES"

Good Morning to all. Hope you are having a good start this Sunday morning. So far it's great here but we are suppose to get four inches to a foot of snow tonight and tomorrow morning. My daughter is looking forward to another school day. Although, she will have to do another storm packet. I have to get to a craft store because I ran out of a lot of supplies that I use every week for my cards and layouts. I have been trying to use a lot of my stash but I always run out of adhesives, glue pens, and other every day items. I usually go to the craft store once a month (unless there is a really good sale) and get all the items I will need for that month. It's too far to drive to get there if I need one thing so I try and do it all in one trip. I chose to live away from town so I have to grin and bear it. 

Here is every ones favorite challenge. ANYTHING GOES is the challenge for the week. We will get to see a lot of great cards and projects this week. Robyn is our great sponsor for this week. We all know by now that she has wonderful digital stamps to work with. I was able to chose the image called "Sunflower 2." I love sunflowers and I wanted something different to work with this week. Some thing that reminds me of the summer. Here is the prize that Robyn will be giving to that lucky winner.

The Winner's Choice

This week since it was anything goes I decided to do a scrapbook layout. I had this picture in mind that has my husband and grandson in it. My grandson is always want to wrestle with his grandpa and now in this picture my grandson is trying to sit on his grandpa's head. He has a yellow shirt on and my husband has brown. For some reason this reminded my of the sunflower image. This page took a lot longer then I thought but I think it turned out pretty good. Here is a picture of it.

I hope you like my layout. I read a bunch of family quotes and titles and made my own little saying on the layout. I want everyone in my family to know that I love them. Sometimes people don't say it often enough. I taught my kids to say it. You never know what will happen in this world. Here is my list of items used to make my layout.

It's the end of this post. I will be waiting on that snow we are suppose to get tonight. Some times the weather men don't always get it right. Remember to go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to enter your projects and while your there take a look at the other design teams creations and leave them a little love. This has been a great Sunday morning and I hope yours is just as good. See you next week for a brand new challenge.

INCY WINCY MONDAY CHALLENGE

Welcome to this Monday's challenge. We are making cards for Birthday's. You can never have to many birthday cards. Another great thing this week is we have two sponsors which means two winners. This will be a great challenge you will want to enter. Who wouldn't want to do a birthday card and have two chances to win.

Our first sponsor is A Day For Daisies. They provide themed categories of over 3,000 digital illustrations and have a fast growing line of new clear polymer stamp sets. They have a blog, website, facebook and an etsy store.

They are giving to one of the winner's a $12.00 Gift Certificate. You will have many illustrations to choose from. 

Our second sponsor is Scribbles Designs.

They will be giving the other winner 3 of their digital images. You will find great images here also.

I chose a lady bug from Scribbles Designs. I think you can make many things with lady bugs. This is the card that I made with my little lady bug.

I think that this card could be for both genders. You can use those colors for anyone. I love the way the bows turned out. I cheated a little bit. I went and bought this little thing that helps you make bows that look perfect. Of course I'm still learning how to use it. Besides that bow maker, here are the other items that I used to make this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE BLOG # 200 "FAIRIES, ELVES, SPRITES OR PIXIES"

Good Morning!! Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. It's been quite nice here this weekend. It felt a little like Spring. I don't need to get use to that yet. I know winter is not over. Even though we are still in winter, my daughter started practices for the soccer tryouts. She will be a freshman next year and you have to tryout to be on the teams now. She is really nervous about this but she met some of the high school students that taught her some things she didn't know. The coach even gave her a good remark. I hope she makes it this year. I have confidence in her so I know she will be on the team. They haven't said when the tryouts will be yet. It seems everything goes fast anymore. Let's get to the challenge. 

We have a brand new sponsor this week. The sponsor is Aurora Wings. Their digital stamps are great and I'm glad that I was able to chose Himalayan Blue Poppy. Since our challenge has four different categories, I was able to chose from the Fairy section. If anyone knows me real well they will know that I love Angels. This fairy was the closest that I came to one. She is very beautiful with these flowers around her. Here is the prize you will be working for this week's challenge.

Here is the card that I made with the Himalayan Blue Poppy that I named the card Blue Poppy Garden. 

I looked at several pictures of the Himalayan Blue Poppy so I could get my flowers as close as they really looked. I hope you can see that I did get as close as I could. It was however a little hard to find the right blues to color the flowers. I do hope you like that way that it turned out. Now, the items that I used.
