ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 344 "STRIPES OR DOTS"

Hello!! Welcome to my blog today. Hope is all well with you. I hope you have a Wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. I actually had all three of my children home for dinner. It's very seldom that they are here all at once. We all actually sat and watched a movie together before my one son had to leave to get his daughter. This was a memorable holiday.

As you can see from up above Limited Runs Digital Stamps is our sponsor for this week's challenge. She has a Wonderful blog and for the month of December she will be having specials on her stamps. Just check in every couple of days. She let me use this cute image called, "Christmas Tree Cupcake." I love cupcakes and Christmas also, so this was a great image to work with. My picture didn't turn out the best but the tree has shading on it. It's just really hard to tell. Let me tell you about the prize Limited Runs Digital Stamps is giving to one lucky winner.

I try to name all my cards so this one is "Sweet Christmas."

I hope you enjoyed my yummy cupcake. I thought the candies looked great with the image. We do get all these sweets at Christmas time. Here is how I put this card together. I found this piece of paper that had both stripes and dots so I thought it would be perfect. Added red and green cardstock in different ways to focus on the image I was using. Added the image I colored and glittered. Last but not least, added the bright candy suckers and candies. It was very easy once I had the sketch done. Here are the items I used.

Cardstock -- The Paper Studio

Paper -- DCWV

Font -- She Always Walks Alone

Suckers & Candies -- Dress It Up

Red, Green, Blue, & Yellow Glittered Ornaments -- Ranger Stickles

I do Thank You for stopping by. My card and the other Design Teams cards will be displayed at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Please add your card to our challenge and take a chance on winning. It's very simple. Hope to see you next week for another special challenge from The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Have a great first of December!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #322 "BUTTERFLIES"

Hello from Hot and Humid Ohio. The weather is going up and down that you don't know if you will be miserable or happy for the day. Its not helping with the packing and unpacking of my mother-in-laws house. We are doing the stuff that will come to my home and then to other relatives and if there is anything left it will be sold or put in storage. I will be glad when this is all done.

Who's ready for our challenge?

Limited Runs Digital Stamps is our sponsor for the "Butterflies" Challenge #322. They were very gracious and let me use their image "Butterfly 3." I just love butterflies. So, I ended up calling this card "Butterfly Garden." Since I had put all different flowers and butterflies laying on top of them I thought this was a perfect name. 

Before I explain what I did with my card, I would like to tell you what Limited Runs Digital Stamps will be giving to the winner.

That will be a great prize. They have the cutest images. You should go over and look. You will want to join our challenge then. So, with the card that I made, I wanted to try to color the butterfly with the same colors that were on the butterfly paper. I think that I came really close. I know that butterflies usually fly around flowers, so I wanted to make a garden of them so the butterflies had a place to go. I used a blue circle to break up the pink decorative circle from the background paper. Here is where everything I used came from.

Cardstock --  The Paper Studio

Paper --  The Paper Studio

Decorative Frame --  Spellbinders Nestabilities (Beaded Circle) 

Basic Circle --  Stencils Of Circles

Butterfly Embellishments --  Dress It Up (Jesse James)

Flowers --  Prima Flowers and Wild Orchid Crafts

Colored Pencils

Colored Markers

I hope you enjoyed my inspiration for you to make your card with butterflies. Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog will be excited to see the cards you make. When you get there check out the other cards that the Design Team made. We also have great tutorials. I hope you have a fantastic week and I will be here next Sunday with the next challenge.

Challenges I Have Entered

Crazy 4 Challenges

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #287 "ANYTHING FOR HALLOWEEN"

Good Morning!! It's been one soggy weekend here. A great time to watch scary movies and do some crafting. Everyone here had their own things they wanted to do so I stayed home and did my usual. No one likes the movies I watch so this was a perfect time to catch up on some I haven't seen. Everyone is use to me doing some of my crafting in the evenings while I try and watch TV at the same time with them. Plus, my cat has a cold so she has been sitting beside me the whole weekend. She is getting a little better today. I'm glad, she was scaring me there for a minute.

I love this week's challenge and we have a great sponsor for it. Limited Runs Digi Stamps has the cutest images for Halloween projects. These images are not ones that would scare the kids. They have also released some new digis and have many many categories of the images they have. I used the image "Witch and Sign." She is the cutest little girl that has fallen with her sign in her hands but she is still smiling. I made my card with her and spiders since there is a spider on the image. So, let's get to the prize so you can see my card.

Now I want to show you the card I made with the "Witch and Sign."

The sign was blank so I added the Happy Halloween on it. The font that I used looks a little scary. It's called, "Chiller." This is one of my favorite fonts to use. This was a very easy card to make and very little items that I used. Here is my items.

See, it was a little simple. Just coming up with the idea was the hardest part, So I hope to see your Halloween projects over at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Good Luck to you all!!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #233 "HALLOWEEN CARDS"

Welcome to another Sunday Challenge with The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Hope everyone has had a great weekend. Mine was a good one. Just wish it wasn't raining everyday. I love the fall but all this rain has been way to much. It does keep me in the house working on my crafts. I have been gathering things to make a scrapbook layout with me and my husband's wedding pictures. We have been together for 20 something years and never did one. So when I seen the doves in our challenge a couple of weeks ago, I knew the layout that I wanted to make. I'm excited to get started on making it. I'm just waiting on some flowers to get here and then start laying it out. I will post the layout when I am finished with it.

Kind of a weird change here. Going from wedding to Halloween Cards. Halloween is one of my favorite holiday's. Some find it real weird but it has always been something that I have looked forward to for when it gets to October. So for our challenge this week our sponsor is Limited Runs. Their page is cute when you get there. It's a Halloween theme. They also have the greatest categories for you to look through. Now would be a great time to look at their Halloween Stamps. I found the cutest cupcake with a devil on top of it. The name of the image I used is simply called, "Devil." I tried making fire but I'm not sure if it looks like it or not. So before I show you my card here is the prize you will be entering for.

You will have a hard time trying to find just three. The images are great. Now let me show you my Halloween card that I made.

I have never used black as a background but thought this one needed it. There is one skeleton that is suppose to look like it was a person. Ghosts are suppose to be flying around and there is my cute little cupcake. I thought the cupcake needed something behind it so this is what I came up with. I really hope you do like this. Now, my items that I used.

Hope you found everything interesting on today's post and leave any comments that you may have.

Have a Wonderful Week and I will see you in another week. I will be looking forward to it and I hope you are to.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 213 " ADD THREE BUTTONS"

Good Morning to you all. I hope that you are all enjoying this Memorial weekend with family and friends. I know that this is a time of remembering of the veterans who gave us our freedom but it's also a time of remembering others that we lost in the past. My grandmother is the one that I think of. She was my rock and also a mother. When I chose the image I did I wasn't thinking of Memorial Day. I chose it because of the angel and knew I wanted to make a sympathy card with it. I did not realize that Memorial Weekend was this weekend until I found the sentiment that I used. Sympathy cards are very hard to make but unfortunately they are cards that we need at some times in our life. You can never find the words right then and there but later you know what you would like to have said. I really hope you like the card because now it is one that is special to me. I think the card says it all and you may want to use the sentiment on a time when you can't find the words that you wanted to say.

Now I think we should work on the challenge at hand. I just wanted to say what my card was about and other things that is there. This week we have a great sponsor that has been here before. It is Limited Runs Digital Stamps. Again, there stamps are great and I love when we get the chance to pick one of their images to work with. The image that I chose is called "Heavenly Angel." She's very beautiful and I wanted to add my touch to it also. Now, here is the prize that Limited Runs will be giving out this week

INCY WINCY DESIGNS MONDAY CHALLENGE "TIC, TAC, TOE"

Here we are with another Monday challenge. These type of challenges are fun to do. Everyone will have something different from the board. Let me show you the board that we used and then I will tell you which line I used. 

Look on this board. There is a free space so you didn't need to do three items on your card. I chose to use the top line straight across. When I picked my image from Limited Runs  Stamps I knew what I wanted to do. The image that I used was called Garden and I want to say Thank You Nikki for letting me use this image. Limited Runs Stamps is one of our sponsors this week and they are giving one lucky winner a choice of three digi's from there store.

You are lucky this week because we have two sponsors this week. Yeah!! Two winner's this week so twice the chance of winning some digi's. This is great for you. So you see that Limited Runs Stamps is one sponsor and the second sponsor is Polka Doodles.

Polka Doodles is giving a winner of this challenge four digi's. Someone is going to be lucky this week. I love that there are two winner's. I'm sure you are to. So let me show you the card that I made with "Garden."

So, I hope you see the three items are that I used. I will tell you anyway. The yellow is the paper under the Celebrate Today. The pearls are on the cupcakes and then you can see the lace at the bottom. I will now tell you what items I used to make this card.

THE ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 168 "THINGS WITH WINGS"

 

Good Morning to everyone. I'm back from my little vacation. It was nice to be away for a little while, even though I was only an hour and a half away. The dogs were so little that I wish I could remember what breed they are. It was the first time I seen them and stayed at my mom's. The only thing about being that close is your kids still find you and call you with their problems. They knew I needed some alone time but that didn't matter to them. Then I come home and my grandson is staying the night. It turned it to having him for three days. He is just so active. I needed a vacation from my vacation. There is so much more to tell but I won't bore you with it all.

 

 

Isn't the boy and girl above cute.  Limited Runs is sponsoring our challenge this week. We are going to work with things with wings. My image that I chose was called Freddy The Turkey. Yes, I am thinking of Thanksgiving already. I'm really trying to get some of my cards done early so I can spend more time shopping and wrapping. Freddy The Turkey is so adorable. He still has all his feathers on him so I could try and make the feathers with different colors. I liked working on the detailed work. After reading this, you could head over to Limited Runs and see all their great images that you would like to make for your holidays. To start off you may win the prize that the sponsor is giving to one lucky winner this week.

Here is Freddy the Turkey on the card that I made for Thanksgiving.

 

See the coloring in the feathers. I thought that it turned out great. I was shocked that I could get all the little feathers to stand out. Add the Thanksgiving paper and fall colors and there is the card. It's amazing of the fall stuff you can find at this time of year. Here are the products that I used to make this card.

Thank You for reading my blog and I do apologize that I wasn't on here last week. The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is where you need to go to enter your cards. Anything with wings will do for your challenge. Have fun with this and I will see you next Sunday. Enjoy the up coming week.

 

A NEW CHALLENGE AT ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE BLOG

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #116 WITH A CHRISTMAS THEME

Good Morning Everyone!! It's great to be back. I didn't realize how long it has been since I had posted a challenge for Robyn's Fetish. If you read my previous post, you will understand what has been happening to me the last two months. With all that going on we also lost our electric for four days in the middle 90's weather. I'm grateful that we had the generator to keep our food cold. I have never been miserable. My son was the one I worried about the most. he worked 16 hours a day to help get the electric on for two weeks. He was exhausted from all of it. One night He called just wanting me to talk to him so he wouldn't fall asleep on the way home. Well let's get to our project this week. I enjoyed it.

Our designer for this week's challenge is Limited Runs Digi Stamps. The theme for our challenge this week was one that I loved. It was Christmas in July. I know I need to start on my Christmas cards and this one might be a good one to make more then once. Everyone makes all kind of goodies for Christmas and the image I have is a snowman on a cupcake. It turned out really cute. Well let's tell you the prize for the winner of this week's challenge.
