INCY WINCY DESIGNS MONDAY CHALLENGE "CLEAN & SIMPLE"

Hello. Hope you all had a great weekend. It was perfect here. Sunshine and in the 70's. Starting this week though we go back to the middle 40's. We will never have spring here. You have to enjoy every day that you can when it is warm. 

What a great challenge we have for this week. I have to admit that this was a little hard because I love to put a lot of stuff on my cards. I wanted to add so much to this but it had to be clean and simple. That's what I did when I started learning to make cards.

We have a great thing for this week. There are two prizes again. We all know that we love these kind of challenges. Our first sponsor for this challenge is Meljen's Designs

Meljen's Designs is going to give one lucky winner 4 digi's. They have very adorable digi's that I know you would want to win.

The second sponsor is Iva Nova Chest. **"Iva Nova Chest" is online store with great choice of Charms, Pendants and Other Jewelry Findings in Malaysia. There is a Goodie Bag Surprise for a lucky winner but this bag is not giving the prize. 

I used an image from Meljen's Designs called Chubby Dragon. He is such a cute dragon that I just had to make something with him. Let me show you the card that I made with him.

Is he not the cutest little thing. I thought the paper looked good with the dragon or dinosaur feet. You can use either way. Let me tell you what this is made with.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 207 "MUST HAVE A HAT IN THE IMAGE"

What a wonderful Sunday morning. We are definitely having a touch of spring here today. The weather men are saying we will have snow in the middle of the week. This is crazy weather and it is messing with my allergies. We just need the weather to stay the same now. Winter should definitely be over by now. Easter is next weekend and it would be nice to have some great weather. Next weekend is going to be really busy. My grand daughter turns 2 on Friday. Her birthday party is on Saturday and then Easter on Sunday. I also need to figure out how to go to the store to get things but I have no car right now. My husband starts a new job tomorrow and he needs the car. We are looking for something in our price range but we are having a hard time with that. The car has to be so old and the mileage has to be low in order to get a loan. Weird how they do things these days.

Well, I want to move on to the challenge this week because I think it is a great one. I have this cute little image that Just Some Lines let me use. It is called EMO -- Flower Filled Day. She is a cute little girl that is wearing this big hat that is bigger then her. She also has flowers that are in front of her. I can't wait to show you this image. Just Some Lines is our sponsor this week and I love the images there. They are adorable. I hope you will check them out. They are giving a generous prize this week for our lucky winner. I'm sure you would like to know. Here it is.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 206 "EASTER"

Good Morning!! I'm seeing sun and it is beautiful. Just wish the temperature would corporate with the sun. I have some great news to tell you all this week. My daughter who is always on the A & B honor roll made it on the all A honor roll. This is a bright girl that does her homework on her own. We never have to ask her to do it. We always had to with the two boys. My boys are a little mad when I talk about her grades. They were never interested in school so I'm glad they went to career centers their junior and senior year. It payed off because they both have good jobs. You still have to give that congratulations to her and I'm so proud of you. She told me yesterday that she would like to go to college in Florida and I said no way. She then says if she gets a scholarship to go to one down there that there is nothing I could do about it. You have to go where you get the scholarship is. There still is no way. She has four years for me to change her mind. 

Well, lets get to the challenge at hand. We are all doing Easter cards and we are getting our images from The GreatRobyn is our sponsor for this week's challenge. She always has great images to work with. The image I chose this week is called Easter Egg. I seen this and thought of a cute card. Cut the card out as an Easter Card. I only did something like this once before so I thought it would be fun to do again. Here is the prize that she will be giving the lucky winner this week.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE # 205 "BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A YOUNG CHILD"

Sunday is here again. Are we not all excited for this relaxing day. I am actually going to take this day off today just to give myself a break from all the drama that is going on around my life. Won't get into that but I really need one. Yesterday morning was not good for me. Don't laugh but this is a major thing that happened. My coffee maker quit working. That is the first thing I do in the morning is start that coffee pot. My husband was kind enough to run down to the little gas station and get me two big cups of coffee. I have been use to doing that for years and this was a disaster for me. So, of course, I did have to run in town and get me a new one. Didn't plan on going anywhere but this was an emergency for me. If your a coffee drinker you will understand what is like not to get that first cup of coffee. I could say that was a little drama that was my own and no one elses that everyone piles on me. Let's get to a great challenge this week.

Who doesn't know a young child that needs a birthday card? I know I have my grand daughter's birthday next month. She will be 2. I have many niece's and nephews to give one to. So this was a fun challenge for me. Our sponsor this week is Gerda's Doddles. I loved the little animals with their birthday cakes. The image that I used is called Pig with Cake. I don't think I ever used a pig before but he was cute. I'm glad that Gerda let me use this image. She is also giving away this prize to our lucky winner of the week.

Gerda's Doodles Store

Here is my card that I made with the Pig With Cake

 

Is he not adorable. My son said he looked like Maxwell from the commercials on TV. He's still adorable. I took a little string and attached the balloon to the pigs hand. I couldn't find my round balloons but I thought these would still work. I love the idea that I came up with the pig inside a balloon. It was just something different. Let me tell you the items that I used for making this card.

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #204 "ANYTHING BUT A CARD"

Good Morning to all that is reading this. Nice Sunday morning so far. I have my grandson (Hayden) today.When my son has Hayden for the weekend he always wants to spend one of the nights here. It does make me feel a little guilty when he wants to be here with us. Sometimes we do say no so he will stay and visit with his father more. He spent the night last night and we had a great time. Taking him to the store was fun.  We let him pick out what he wanted for snack's and his breakfast. He actually picked out food that was good for him. He played all night with out wanting to watch a movie. He is so active that I fell asleep before he did. Thank goodness my daughter was here to stay up with him. Even though he goes to sleep late he still rises early. I just want a little bottle of his energy so I can use it a little bit each day. 

We have a fantastic sponsor this week. They are Lacy Sunshine and they have great digital images. I want to Thank them so much for letting me use Izzy Bella Boo, Cute As A Button. When I seen this image I knew what pictures I wanted to use with her. Pictures of my grand daughter (Remie.)  I'm still working on layouts for my family album. Since we could do anything but a card this was the perfect time to do another scrapbook layout. Let me tell you about the great prize they are giving one lucky winner this week. I would like to have this one.

$20.00 Gift Certificate

To The

Lacy Sunshine Store.

Isn't this a sweet prize. Now, let me show you what I did with Izzy Bella Boo, "Cute As A  Button."

The background paper is many different pastel colors of butterflies. I used the image I had and flipped it so they were looking at each other on the page. I took the colors on one and switched them on the other one. Then I made sure I put two different colors of card stock behind the pictures. I did have fun putting the flowers together. I don't have much of a green thumb but I think I did good putting these together. Well let me tell you where all the items came from.
