ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 183 "HALLOWEEN"

 

Welcome to another Sunday challenge for The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. I can actually say that this week didn't go to fast as usual. My daughter is done with soccer and she decided not to be in the All State Choir. Although, next week are basketball tryouts. She hasn't played basketball for school but loves playing at home and in gym. She decided to tryout with two of her friends. She said she doesn't know if she will make it. I told her she wouldn't know if she doesn't try. She is so sweet because she is worried that she is spending to much of our money to do the things she wants to. I told her money wasn't an issue. If you want to do something go do it. This is better then hooking up with the wrong crowd. I just find it funny that I had two boys that never played sports in school but my daughter has always been in something. By the way, she scored two goals and 3 assists in this seasons soccer and an award for positive attitude. This was by far her best season. Next year will be the true test when she starts high school and the coaches and games are a lot different. I have already prepared her.

 

Now lets get to this Halloween challenge. This is my second favorite holiday if that is what you call it. I like the cute side of it. Not all the freaky stuff that scare kids. Whoopsie Daisy has cute images for Halloween. I love the one that they allowed me to work with. It is from a sheet of four Halloween Girls. I picked one with the girl holding her pail for the candy. She is adorable. Whoopsie Daisy has done it again with their images. Let me tell you what you will win this week from Whoopsie Daisy.

3 Whole Sheets

You will have to go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to see how you collect your images. If you forgot something about out challenges the rules are there also.

Now let me show you the card that I called Trick or Treat

 

I found some cute Halloween paper at Archiver's. This is a great scrapbooking store but an hour and a half away from where I live. I can honestly say it was worth the trip. I hope you have one near you. Great Store

 

So I hope you like my card. You will see a few new names that I have never used until I went to this store. Yes, there is another trip planned. Here are the items.

 

Cardstock -- Canvas Corporation, American Crafts, and Close To My Heart

At the end again. Hope you join us in our challenge this week. There is so much Halloween stuff out there that it would be easy to make a card. Good Luck to all of you that enter and I will see you next week. Have a fun and safe week!!



ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #182 "FALL"

 

Welcome to a very cold day in Ohio!! This is our very first cold Sunday of the year. The first taste of fall. I even had to turn my furnace on for the first time this year. I did have a very interesting week though. My son woke up on Tuesday morning with real bad pains in his side of his stomach. So I take him to the ER and they immediately put him into a room which never happens when you go to our ER. The doctor come right in and says they think it's appendix but there is also a bad stomach flu going around or he may have some infection. They did blood work first and in about fifteen minutes they came back with his results and a surgeon. He had to have his appendix taken out. They said they would get him in in about two to three hours. Next thing I know they came in and took him straight to the operating room. They did a laparoscopic surgery and he was out of the operating room in about an hour. He went to recovery and then to another recovery room where we could finally see him. We left at six in the morning and was home by two in the afternoon. Talk about quick. I had to stay with him for 24 hours and I thought my 21 year old son turn 10. He still hurts today and they put him off work until November 1st since he is in construction and they want to make sure he healed before he goes back. I was really shocked that I finished my project this week. Two late nights helped me finish.

 

Fall. What a great them to have at this time of year. Melonheadz Illustrations is our sponsor this week for our Fall challenge. We were lucky and was given a set to work with this week. The set is called Fall and there are 11 images that came with this set. We were suppose to use as many images from this set as possible. I ended up using five of the images to make a Scrapbooking Layout this week. We are able to choose from a card or any other project. As I already said, I made a layout for this project. I used pictures of my grandson also on this layout. The pictures were to cute not to use. Before I show you the layout, let me tell you what Melonheadz Illustrations is giving to the winner this week.

Here is the layout that I called "Happy Fall" with my cute little grandson Hayden.

 

 

I hope you like it. See how the pictures fit right in. Last year the neighbors raked all their leaves in a pile on the road and my grandson just had to go over and see the  pile. He got there and just jumped in. It was so cute. Oh, I made the hay bails that the pumpkins are sitting on. Took a little bit of time but was well worth it. Here are the products that I used to make this.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the post this week. I enjoyed making it. Melonheadz Illustrations made a great set for us to use. So, make your projects and get them to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog so you have a chance to win this great prize. See you next week and have a wonderful week!!!



ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 181 "SQUARE CARDS ONLY"

 

Hello Everyone!! Welcome to another Sunday Challenge. We all know that this week went fast. My daughter had the whole week off for our county fair. Our area has a lot of farmland so their are a lot of kids in our FFA. So, since so many will be missing school they just give the students the whole week off. Although I can say she was hardly home. On top of her soccer she spent so many days with her friends at the fair, mall and even a Halloween Party. I think she spent at least almost a whole day home this week. She was feeling bad that she wasn't here but I told her that this is the life of a teenage girl. I just forgot what it was like to be that young and running around the whole time. Now I know why my parents always said I was never home. I'm still adjusting. Being home alone has been fun and tough at the same time. I miss my little girl who always wanted to be with me.

 

Now to the real reason we are all here. The Sunday Challenge which the theme is "Square Cards Only." Our sponsor this week is Paper Pretties. Just by their name you should know they have great images. My image that I used this week is called Butterfly and Blossoms. When I seen the blossoms I knew that I wanted to work with this image. I wanted to make it a little bright and with many colors. I also loved the butterfly just sitting on top of the blossoms. Well let's see what Paper Pretties is giving to the winner this week.

 

6 Digital Stamps

The Winner's Choice

From

The Paper Pretties Store

 

Now I would like to show you the card that I made with this image. I named my card Blossoms

 

 

I tried to brighten the card up with the program that I usually use. I wanted the vibrant colors to come out off the page. I have so many colors of flowers but when I get to a card that I would love to use them I never can find the colors. So, I did use what I had but would like to have had a couple of big white flowers to add. Here is the items that I did use to make this

 

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart

Paper -- DCWV

Flowers & Rhinestones -- My Boxes of Extras

Colored Pencils

Colored Markers

 

I know that I didn't use a lot to make it but I think it turned out pretty. This is the end to my post this week. Just remember to go to Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to enter your square cards this week. Have a Wonderful Week!!

 



ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 180 "USE A DIGI"

 

Unbelievable!! It is Sunday already. This week went by like a blink of an eye. I have even been home alone a lot this week and it still went fast. I even had this weekend to my self because everyone had things they wanted to do. My daughter is learning to spend nights and days away from home. My husband is helping my dad tear the outside of his house and putting up new board, some kind of weathering stuff, all the shingles and the siding. They work on it on weekends so it has been taking along time. I grew up in this house where is was stucco on the outside so I have a piece of it in a jar just for memories. My other son is off as usual. He's 21 and is never home except to eat, take a shower and eat. I guess my life isn't as exciting as everyone else's. I did have fun Saturday. I watched horror movies all day. No one else likes them so I had a whole day to watch. There's a lot since Halloween is coming up. Enough with my little bio and get to this week's challenge.

 

Use a Digi. This is a  great challenge to enter. You can use and digital image that you like and make your project and add it to our challenge. Our special sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish. She has her great images and is always adding something new in the shop. She has so many categories for you to choose from. I used the digi called A Bell For Christmas. Since we could use any image I thought I would use this one to add to this years Christmas cards that I'm making. I changed the images name around a little bit and called my card Ring That Christmas Bell. Before I get to off subject, let me tell you what Robyn is giving away to the winner of this week's challenge.

I hope you now what I mean by the way that it shines. I love this paper but it's really expensive and a little hard to work with. I found this wonderful font that just reminded me of Christmas. I will be using it more on my Christmas cards. I really hope that you like it. I think it turned out really pretty. Now let me tell you what the items were that I made this card with.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 179 THEME IS NATURE

 

Happy Sunday!! It's nice and quiet here. My kids had their own plans this weekend and I didn't. My major reason is I had some kind of flu again. My immune system isn't that good so when anyone comes home with something I catch it and it's twice as bad for me. Allergies on top of it all isn't quite helping things either. Our weather here is so up and down you never know what the temperature will be that day. I can say that I was able to watch movies that I liked where as no one else would want to watch them with me. It's still boring being alone. I think I'm having a taste of what it will be like when all the kids are out on their own. I don't know if I'm going to like it or not. You have no one to share things with when you want to and your seem crazy when your talking to the TV all by yourself. Let's get to the challenge at hand.

 

The theme of the challenge is "Nature." This is a great time to be out in the parks and seeing the leaves fall with all the different colors. My favorite season right after winter. We have a great sponsor for this week. They have sponsored our challenges before and have wonderful images. They are Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner. I'm sure you remember their great images. If not I would take a peek again. For this challenge I was allowed to use the digi Teddy Flower. How much more nature can you get then a bear and flowers. So, before I show you my card I would like to tell you what the prize is for this challenge's lucky winner.

Dragonsmoore, Spyder's Other Corner Store

 

Well her is the card that I named Be Happy with the digital image Teddy & The Flower.

 

 

The green paper looks like flowers with different shades of green. The blue paper in the middle of the green's is a blue paper that has white flowers on it. I do know that it's hard to see it but I promise you it's there. I think my favorite  part is the flower that I colored. I actually have more of them colored for a scrapbook layout. Here is the items that I used to make this card about nature.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #178 (BACK TO SCHOOL)

 

Wow!! I can't believe it's Sunday already. My daughter is now playing in the soccer tournaments. These will last a couple of weeks and then she will be done with soccer. I may actually miss it. But, she had tried out for a play and all county choir. She won't know for a little while if she made either one of these. She did say the cutest thing the other day. She asked me if she was doing to many activities in school because she feels bad that her dad and I are always taking her to something she's participating in. Of course I told her no. I would rather have her doing all this stuff then getting in trouble. She is even passing her two high school classes that she was allowed to take this year. They are high B's. This is only in the middle of the quarter but I'm so happy. She will start high school with 2 credits. I just hope she stays on this path. Proud Momma here!!!!

I'm going to start by telling you who the sponsor is this week. They are KPM Doodles. They have the cutest digi stamps, digital paper and they have their own blog. If you get a chance, I would go and take a look at their digi's. I was given the opportunity to use one of their digi's  sets called Bears At School Digi Set. There are different bears with this set and we could use as many as we could. I used the bear that was reading a book and the tree with the bee hive hanging from it. I decided to a thing about reading. I thought that was a good one since we need kids to read more these days. So, here is the prize that KPM Doodles is offering to this week's winner.

2 Sets

Winner's Choice

Here is the card that I made with this set that I called Reading Is Fun.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 177 (PEOPLE AT THEIR JOBS)

 

Good Morning to everyone that is reading this blog. I know you may have heard this before but I have to apologize for not being here last week. I was way overwhelmed with life and just need to get things in check. Still working on it but I am able to create again. The only hard part was this was still happening during my daughter's birthday. She is now 14 and counting already to the day she can get her temps to drive. She also thinks that she gets my car when she does get her license. But if things go like today, she won't be driving anywhere. I have to say that she was injured at the soccer game today. They had to carry her off the field. There was a three girl pile up and she ended up getting the worse of it. She is very lucky. She only has a big bruise behind her growth plate. She will be on crutches for a day or two and then she can walk on it if it doesn't hurt. She is determined to play Monday night but I have no idea if that is going to happen. Well, let's get to the good stuff that we are here for this morning.

 

Our challenge this week is people at their jobs. The sponsor this week is Broken Box Stock. They have many different categories on their site and cute images. I found some of the new images that was on their site and I love them. I will be shopping there in the future. The image that I used for my card this week is Teacher. What a great profession to work with. I really had fun working with this image and adding things to it. I tried to make it look like you were approaching a real teacher's desk. Before I show you the card let me tell you what you are going to win this week.

 

Holiday Toodle Digital Stamp Set

And The

Everyday Toodle Digital Stamp Set

These are two great sets that you are going to want. Several images come with these sets. What a wonderful prize to win. Let me now show you my card.

 

I hope you see the school desk feel of the card. I love these cute little crayon embellishments. I couldn't stop from putting these on here. Let me tell you what all the products I used to make this adorable teacher's card.
