Robyn's Fetish Challenge 155: Easel Cards

Hi Everybody and "Hello" to a new week!

Sure do hope you enjoyed our "What's Cookin' Kitchen Images" Blog Hop
and had a chance to grab some of the delightful new RF designs! (-:


This week, the
Robyn's Fetish Challenge theme is: 
Easel Cards 
and we're being sponsored by
 A Day for Daisies

I just LOVE the whimsical design of Tammy's images and it is always a pleasure to work with her!!

The winner will receive a $12 Certificate to the ADFD Store!

I chose "Butterfly A" for my project this week.

With permission from ADFD, I converted the image to a cutting file that can be used with my Eclips (-:
I imported the digi into my Sure Cuts a Lot software, traced it, flipped it, welded it, then did a "Print and Cut" onto some beautiful papers from the DCWV Heirloom Stack!

I used a Sizzix Embossing Folder for the background, and as you can see, in a few spots, some of the white core of the paper is showing through... I must have had the sandwich not quite right in my Big Kick and it embossed deeply enough to actually tear the paper a little... bit of a bummer, actually!!

The spots on the butterfly are Tim Holtz "Broken China" Distressed Stickles... who know glitter glue could get "distressed"... (-:

Every week, I try something a little "out of the box" and "different" to try to inspire you to play in our Robyn's Fetish Challenges! We welcome ALL paper craft projects and love to see how creative you can be with our Challenge Themes!!

Hopefully, this week, you'll try making an Easel Card and will join our challenge for a chance to WIN!!!

See you next time!

Here are a few challenges I would like to enter:

A Day for Daisies: Your Favorite Technique: I LOVE to go "outside the box" and try new and different things, and I also LOVE my Eclips and try to find new and different ways to use it! (-:

Brown Sugar Challenge Blog: Step or Easel Card. The projects posted by this DT are fascinating and I see a few things I know I'll be trying soon! (-:

Nutcrafters: Shaped Cards: I just found this challenge thru Feline Playful, but they have some cute digis and I'm sure I'll visit again!!

Flutterby Wednesday: Anything Goes with Butterfly or Fairy

Robyn's Fetish What's Cookin' Kitchen Images Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the "What's Cookin' Kitchen Images Blog Hop"

You should have arrived here from SANDRA'S blog

If you've just arrived and would like to start from the beginning,

head over the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog 

Over the next 2 days, our team will be treating you

to some adorable new cooking themed images

that you're sure to love!

Make sure you leave a comment at every stop along the hop

and you'll be entered to win!! 


The GRAND PRIZE is the Winner’s choice of THREE 
of the NEW “WHAT’S COOKIN’” KITCHEN digital stamps.

Also, randomly scattered through the hop,
there will be 5 winners that will each receive 
ONE of the NEW “WHAT’S COOKIN’” KITCHEN IMAGES 
that are on 5 of the DT members’ blogs.

Here is my project:

The name of the image is "Cooking Mouse", so I figured a yellow
(cheese-colored) recipe box was appropriate...

The box is actually in another SVGCuts.com collection
called Christmas Open House

I colored Miss Mouse with Copics, Sharpies and Prismacolor Pencils.
The papers are all from DCWV... 

Here's a picture with the top on:

The original recipe box file has a cute little handle on top
but I didn't get a chance to put it on before time ran out to get ready for today's hop... if I choose to give this box as a gift, there are a few embellishments I will probably add to the top, just to dress it up a little...
but for today, I really wanted you to see the "Cooking Mouse"
and I hope you'll visit the rest of the hop
to see all the other "What's Cookin' Kitchen Images"!

Now it's time to head on over to SUE'S Blog
to see what crafty goodness she has cooked up!

Here is the complete hop list in case you get lost along the way

or have to take a break and come back!

Robyn's Fetish Challenge 154: Anything Goes

**ETA** Imagine my surprise this morning when my newest Robyn's Fetish Challenge Project was not posted on my blog!!??!! With a little research, I found that I did indeed write up the post and was not losing my mind... I did, however, schedule it for the wrong day!

So, without further adieu... here is the originally scheduled post for your viewing pleasure! (-:

Hope the rest of the day works out a little more on "schedule" (especially nap time, since I didn't get home til almost 2am after work last night!!)

---

Hello and Howdy, friends!

Today a new challenge starts at the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog.
It's everyone favorite "Anything Goes"
and our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish.

The winner will received 3 images of their choice from the Robyn's Fetish Shop!

I got to play with one of the new images released in the Blog Hop last fall:
Jennie the Scarecrow

While it may be early to start thinking about scarecrows, we are definitely heading into Spring and time to set up our new, fresh, lovely gardens... I colored Jennie in all pastels to make sure you think of spring when you see her! :)

I used Prismacolor Pencils and Sharpie markers for coloring!

I used a "Lever" card style, which is pretty cool in real life. When you open the card, the image flips with the cardstock...

The little flowers and the "Smile" sentiment are Stampin Up Rubons I found in my stash drawer the other day. The flower is a pretty nifty little number from a K & Company booklet... pop them out, layer them up and voila, finished little embellie!

Thanks for stopping by today and make sure you pop on over to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog to take a look at all the lovelies created by the RF Team!!

Robyn's Fetish Challenge 153: Fairies

Good morning, friends and Happy Easter

We're off to a bit of a late start this morning

with Easter Baskets and the overall

joy of Easter!

Today I want to share a card I made 

for the Robyns's Fetish Challenge

with the most beautiful fairy:

Fairy Fae from Delicious Doodles

Fairy Fae from Delicious Doodles

This week is CHALLENGE #153 - "FAIRIES"

and we are being sponsored by DELICIOUS DOODLES

The PRIZE for this challenge is

4 digital stamps of the winner's choice from the

DELICIOUS DOODLES STORE

For my card, I colored the gorgeous image with Prismacolor Pencils.

The color combo was inspired by the Bo Bunny papers

from the "Gabrielle" collection.

Her wings are painted with Tattered Angels "Glam" glitter paint,

 so they have quite a bit of sparkle 

that's doesn't show up very well in the picture.

The swirl, butterflies, and corners were cut out 

from a variety of files from SVGCuts.com, 

using my Sizzix Eclips (of course) :)

That is also glitter-coated paper from DCWV.

The centers of the flowers, swirls and butterflies
have tiny little gems from Making Memories.

There are a few tiny touches of Copic Spica in "Sand", too.

Overall, this card just shimmers in the light

and it's hard to show in pictures!

There are so many "Spring" themed challenges this week

listed at Feline Playful, so to be fair,

I have chosen just a few I'd like to enter:

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards: Bring on Spring
Creative Corner Challenges, Anything Goes
My Heart Pieces, Angels and Fairies
Kenny K's Krafty Krew, Being Square
One Stitch at a Time, Spring
2 Sisters, Sparkle and Shine

And don't forget, we're having a
Robyn's Fetish Blog Hop
April 10th-12th

We'll be featuring BRAND NEW

Kitchen Images

and you won't want to miss it!!

Robyn's Fetish Challenge 152: Food or Drink

Good morning, friends!
I'd like to share the card I made for the 152nd challenge at the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog.
The theme this week is: Food or Drink and we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter.

The winner will receive a $20 Gift Certificate
to the Paper Shelter Store

Here's my card:

I got to work with an adorable image called "Cool Waitress", which you can get at the shop HERE
Isn't she adorable? You should see the samples created by TPS DT members at the shop! WOW!

I was actually inspired by the theme of the challenge at The Drunken Stampers LAST week: Grease! I didn't get to enter, but the theme really got my gears a-spinnin'... and since I was the "Life of the Party" last week, I wanted to make sure I gave them a little shout-out! Thanks my drunken friends for choosing me as the winner of the "16 Candles" Challenge!! (-:

When I saw this little roller-skating cutie, it made me think of the 50's style drive-ins and for some reason, the whole time I was making this card, I was singing "Beauty School Drop-out"... I've got my little "Pink Lady" and my "Pink Cadillac" and I don't think anyone would leave this little cutie "Stranded at the Drive-In", do you?

Y'know that hind-sight is always 20/20 right? Now that I'm looking at my completed card, I sure wish the pink background piece was patterned or embossed or something... c'est la vie!

The card frame and 50's Cadillac are actually cut files from SVGCuts.com in the "Rockin and Rollin'" and "Everyday Cards" kits.

I sure hope you'll head over to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and join us for the "Food or Drink" Challenge and enter for your chance to win a $20 prize!!!
