ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #231 "ORIENTAL"


Good Morning! Welcome to the last weekend of September. Everyone is already posting how many days until Christmas on their personal blogs. Seeing those numbers really makes it more depressing for me. I usually have started on my shopping by now but I have not one thing. As the children grow up the prices of the things go up. It's hard to get what they want. So seeing those count downs are not helping me have a Christmas spirit.

Nicecrane Designs is our sponsor for this week's challenge. There images are beautiful and they have everything you can think of under the son. They were kind enough to let us use a set called "Pictures of Japan." Each of the design team picked one of the four images that was with this set. I picked the second image to use for my card. This set was perfect for our Oriental theme this week. Oriental, I have to say, is one theme that I am the worst at. I don't know why but I have had troubles with that theme. So before I tell you more about my card and show you it, I want to tell you what Nicecrane Designs is giving out for the prize this week.

My idea for the card was for the lady to be walking on a bridge with water underneath with fish in the water. Then I wanted to add some flowers. I can honestly tell you my card has nothing of that on there. It turned out horrible. So, I used the image and popped it off the card with two fans. I hope you enjoy what I ended up making.



I do hope that you liked how it turned out. There is one thing that is actually from Japan. The gold flowers with the flourishes. I was in a group where you swap scrapbooking items with other women. I was lucky to  have someone from Japan and she sent me items that I had never seen before. I've used most of them already. Let me tell you the rest of the items that I used to make this card.

Cardstock -- Close To My Heart & The Paper Studio
Paper -- My Mind's Eye
Gold Flowers With Flourishes -- MOMOYO
Pop-Ups -- The Paper Studio

Thank You for stopping by and reading my post. I do hope you enjoyed the post. Feel free to leave a comment so I know how I did on this card. All the cards that the design team made are on Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and you can add your entry also. So, have a wonderful week and I will see you next week.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 220 "CHRISTMAS IN JULY"


Good Morning!!! Hope everyone is having a good day so far. I'm having a slow start but as soon as I drink my pot of coffee I will be up and moving. I'm going to try and enjoy my day because my daughter's soccer practices and games is wearing me down. Practices start at 8:00 am. They are for two hours but I stay up there to save gas. Plus by time I would get home I would have to turn around and go back. So this is the easiest way to do this. This week we have practices and dentist appointments and other activities. I thought we were on summer break. My boys was never interested in sports so this all new to me. With her starting high school they do things differently and they practice way more then before.

Enough of my little info. I want to get to one of my favorite challenges. Nicecrane Designs has so many categories to choose images from that you will be looking for hours. I'm glad that we are working with them. This is a new sponsor with great images. Our design team was able to work with a set called Vintage Adorable Christmas. I love vintage things and this set has adorable vintage Christmas images. There were four images to this set and I chose the third image. Two little girls sleeping of Santa bringing presents to the chimney to come and give them their presents. Nicecrane Designs is giving a great prize for the winner. He it is

This is a fantastic prize to win. If I have the time I would like to make something and enter. But, with my schedule I will have to see. Now I would like you to see the card that I made.


I tried to use vintage colors with a little vintage looking flowers. I had this great set of 3-D stickers and this one fit perfectly with the card. I tried to go by a sketch but this is no where near it. I don't know how I went from a sketch to my own design. Well, let me tell you what I used to make this vintage card.
