WOW~ I can't believe I have neglected my poor blog for almost a year!<br />
The time has flown by and reading my last post brings it all back so fast.<br />
<br />
Things are actually going pretty well right now.<br />
<br />
Hubby is cancer-free as of our last scan (thank God) and he's feeling pretty good.<br />
Recovery from surgery has been a long process, but we're thankful for every battle.<br />
<br />
I have a new job that I really love and have made a few crafty things for fun, but haven't even taken pictures to post...<br />
<br />
Just wanted to stop in to say hello.<br />
<br />
I miss all my crafty friends and am planning to get better at staying in touch.<br />

It has been a long, long time since I've posted on this blog, so I wanted to take a minute to stop in to say "Hi" to anyone who may still be out there following along!<br />
<br />
After The Crafter's Cafe closed up shop and my time with the Robyn's Fetish Design Team ended, I have had a lot going on. Work has been crazy busy and seems to take up so much time, I just don't get to play with paper as much as I was! :(<br />
<br />
I still occasionally hide away and do a little creating, mostly cards and small gifts, but then, about 2 weeks ago, everything changed!<br />
<br />
My hubby of 13 years was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer!<br />
<br />
He spoke with his doctor about sharp pains he was feeling in his RIGHT side... the doc ordered an ultra-sound to check for gall stones. He found no stones but saw a "spot" on his kidney that didn't look right.<br />
<br />
He referred us to a urologist, who ordered a CT Scan.<br />
<br />
It turned out that, after looking at the kidneys, from both sides, that he had a "large, cancerous mass" on his LEFT side!! Apparently, the "spot" the first doctor noticed on the right side may have been a shadow of the tumor, it had grown so large! At no time, ever, did he have any symptoms that may have indicated his cancer!<br />
<br />
He immediately scheduled surgery and last Friday (a week ago), we had the entire kidney removed, along with the mass! The pathology results showed that the tumor was "encapsulated" and had not ruptured or spread, which is good news. The doc said it was the largest tumor he had ever removed from a patient... it was about the size of a basketball, or a large dinner plate!!<br />
<br />
We are now on the road to recovery and tomorrow morning, he will have his 52 staples removed from his belly!! The incision runs all the way across his tummy and down the right side... he is out of work until November!<br />
<br />
He's doing well and is walking up and down stairs (slowly)... he is anxious to get out of the house and start eating "normal" food! :)<br />
<br />
Just want to give a quick shout-out to Dr. Saleh, Dr. Godfrey and the staff at the Bradford Regional Medical Center Critical Care Unit!! Thank you all so very much for the attention and care you provided for my hubby!!<br />
<br />
So, that's what I've been up to!! Just wanted to stop in and let ya'll know that i"m thinking about you!Gorse Auto Detailinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02444660907997347696noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66648605606034753.post-74636918953653813832013-04-14T07:00:00.000-04:002013-04-14T11:32:13.633-04:00Robyn's Fetish Challenge 155: Easel CardsHi Everybody and "Hello" to a new week!<br />
<br />
Sure do hope you enjoyed our "What's Cookin' Kitchen Images" Blog Hop<br />
and had a chance to grab some of the delightful new RF designs! (-:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ntJmgEJbqeQ/UWogGSiGDuI/AAAAAAAAD_A/BvYyEqb1IBE/s1600/ADFD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ntJmgEJbqeQ/UWogGSiGDuI/AAAAAAAAD_A/BvYyEqb1IBE/s1600/ADFD.jpg" /></a><br />
This week, the<br />
<a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><b>Robyn's Fetish Challenge theme is: </b></span></a><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Easel Cards</a> </b></span><br />
and we're being sponsored by<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/">A Day for Daisies</a></b></span><br />
<br />
I just LOVE the whimsical design of Tammy's images and it is always a pleasure to work with her!!<br />
<br />
The winner will receive a $12 Certificate to the ADFD Store!<br />
<br />
I chose "<a href="http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/butterfly-a-p-1498.html">Butterfly A</a>" for my project this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4HD6OC7rm9w/UWogBtLDzJI/AAAAAAAAD-4/1JQBGtW0NHU/s1600/RF155_ADFDWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="363" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4HD6OC7rm9w/UWogBtLDzJI/AAAAAAAAD-4/1JQBGtW0NHU/s400/RF155_ADFDWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
With permission from ADFD, I converted the image to a cutting file that can be used with my Eclips (-:<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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!!<br />
<br />
The spots on the butterfly are Tim Holtz "Broken China" Distressed Stickles... who know glitter glue could get "distressed"... (-:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The name of the image is <span style="color: #990000;"><b>"Cooking Mouse"</b></span>, so I figured a yellow</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(cheese-colored) recipe box was appropriate...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The box is actually in another <a href="http://svgcuts.com/">SVGCuts.com</a> collection</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">called <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=333"><span style="color: #990000;">Christmas Open House</span></a></span><br />

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!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

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!!)<br />

Hello and Howdy, friends!<br />

and our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish.<br />
<br />
The winner will received 3 images of their choice from the Robyn's Fetish Shop!<br />
<br />
I got to play with one of the new images released in the Blog Hop last fall:<br />

<br />
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! :)<br />
<br />
I used Prismacolor Pencils and Sharpie markers for coloring!<br />
<br />
I used a "Lever" card style, which is pretty cool in real life. When you open the card, the image flips with the cardstock...<br />

<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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!!<br />

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my card, I colored the gorgeous image with Prismacolor Pencils.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The color combo was inspired by the Bo Bunny papers</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">from the "Gabrielle" collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her wings are painted with Tattered Angels "Glam" glitter paint,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> so they have quite a bit of sparkle </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that's doesn't show up very well in the picture.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The swirl, butterflies, and corners were cut out </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">from a variety of files from SVGCuts.com, </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">using my Sizzix Eclips (of course) :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is also glitter-coated paper from DCWV.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The centers of the flowers, swirls and butterflies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have tiny little gems from Making Memories.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are a few tiny touches of Copic Spica in "Sand", too.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, this card just <i>shimmers</i> in the light</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and it's hard to show in pictures!</span></div>

I got to work with an adorable image called "<b>Cool Waitress</b>", which you can get at the shop <b><a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=146&zenid=9ag586iu21sms9rqd5rhemj4j4">HERE</a></b><br />
Isn't she adorable? You should see the samples created by TPS DT members at the shop! WOW!<br />
<br />
I was actually inspired by the theme of the challenge at <a href="http://drunkenstampers.wordpress.com/">The Drunken Stampers</a> <i>LAST</i> week: Grease! I didn't get to enter, but the theme really got my gears a-spinnin'... and since I was the "<b><a href="http://drunkenstampers.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/life-of-the-party-winner-challenge-118-sixteen-candles/">Life of the Party</a></b>" 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!! (-:<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
The card frame and 50's Cadillac are actually cut files from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/">SVGCuts.com</a> in the "<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=294">Rockin and Rollin'</a>" and "<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=290">Everyday Cards</a>" kits.<br />

The challenge is being sponsored by <a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/">Robyn's Fetish</a> and the winner will receive their choice of <b>FIVE</b> images from the <b><a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/">RF Shop</a></b>!<br />
<br />
I was so honored to be asked to be a Guest Designer this week!<br />
<br />
The "twist" at this challenge is to include some scripture or verse as part of the theme.<br />
There are so many verses about Easter available, it's quite an easy challenge this week!!<br />
<br />
I worked with the "<b><a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=304">Easter Egg" image from the Robyn's Fetish shop</a></b>.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Here are some details about my card:<br />
<br />
I paper-pieced the egg and flower using papers from "Sugar and Spice", a Doodlebug Design Collection.<br />
The card style is a "Center-step" card. The middle panel is raised up a little higher than the sides.<br />
<br />
All the "dot" details are Liquid Pearls "Petal Pink". The flower is from a silk arrangement, with added Glossy Accents and pearls. The only coloring on this entire card is the green leaves! The paper is just so perfect for this image that no other embellishment seemed necessary!<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a Guest Designer for such an uplifting challenge!<br />
<br />
I hope you'll join me over at <b><a href="http://twistoffaithcards.blogspot.com/2013/03/challenge29-celebrate-easter.html">Twist of Faith</a></b> this week and share your Easter projects!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, <b><span style="color: #38761d;">Happy St. Patrick's Day</span></b>!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And <b><span style="color: #38761d;">Happy Birthday to my wonderful hubby</span></b>!!</span><br />
<br />
Ha Ha! Now you're older than me again!!<br />
<br />
This week, the challenge at the <a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog</a> is "<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Must Use Green</span></b>".<br />
Our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe!<br />
The winner will receive any THREE sets from the Cutting Cafe Store!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I got to work with the "One Spring Day" set, which includes almost 90 different images.<br />
Our challenge was to use <b><span style="color: #38761d;">GREEN</span></b> and to use as many pieces from the set as we could in one project!<br />
<br />
I used 6 pieces in my project:<br />
The flower border strip, 3 different flowers, the subway art "Happy Spring" and the "Happy Spring" sentiment circle. The only coloring I did was the little green centers of the flower border. The rest is all "Print and Cut" with my Eclips!<br />

I took another photo of my card this morning! I'm still getting used to the camera I got for Christmas and all its settings! It amazes me how different a picture can look in different lighting conditions. This morning, there is a little sunshine in my craft room windows and in all natural light, my card looks completely different!!</div>

Hi, I'm Lyn, aka Spyder, owner and soul digi artist and scribbler for <a href="http://dragonsmoore.blogspot.co.uk/" style="color: #666666; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Spyder's Other Corner.</a> I started my little digi store a year after I started blogging with a few little bears and a weekly freebie and it's slowly grown since then. My claim to fame are having single cartoons and cartoon strips in National and local News Papers, Magazines, Adverts and even on plastic shopping bags! I can usually change anything you find in the store to suit your needs, a name added or maybe something removed! Someone once wanted a belly button removed from a bear and a spider's web taken off a toadstool!<br />
All my digis are hand drawn and then tidied up on my laptop, so there will be wobbly bits! Most of them come as a Jpeg and PNG. Anything you need specially, I can usually do for you. I'm very pleased to be asked to sponsor Robin's Fetish Challenges, and wish everyone Happy Crafting!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Or have you ever gone through the day, thinking it was another day altogether?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday, I spent the whole day thinking it was FRIDAY!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I loaded my Robyn's Fetish card in our Design Team Group "on time" and headed out to work...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">around 10pm last night, someone mentioned Sunday church service in the morning and it suddenly occurred to me that it was actually SATURDAY!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How in the world did I lose my "other" Friday? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If anyone sees an extra FRIDAY laying around, please send it back to me, because mine was lost!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Or maybe that's just my mind... but I think I lost that a long time ago! (-:</span><br />

Seems that's all I've been posting on this blog lately... gotta do something about that!<br />
<br />
anyways...<br />
<br />
Our challenge this week is brought to you by the letter A and the number 4...<br />
oh, wait, nevermind... they never <i>did</i> tell us how to get to Sesame St, did they?<br />
<br />
So, our Sponsor Extraordinaire this week is: <b>Wings and Willows</b> and you can find them on Facebook or in their Etsy Shop... the winner will surely be happy to win a $10 Gift Certificate to use at either place!<br />
<br />
I played with "Jungle Buddies" this week, and of course, I followed our challenge theme: use ribbon or twine...<br />
<br />
When you think "twine" and you think "jungle", I hope you get something like this:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kinda stuck my watermark right over top of some of the twine, so you can't see the little banner I made with twine and leaves, but you get the point... right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The papers are from K&Company, the swirls are from the SVG Cuts.com "Swirlies" collection. The little burlap patch was an RAK from my friend Patti. Colored my little monkey and banana tree with Copics and there you have it, folks... quite a cute little bugger, isn't he!?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See ya next time...</div>

<br />
It's time again (already) for a new challenge at the <a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/"><b>Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog</b></a>.<br />
This week, our theme is Winter Cards with Snow!<br />
<br />
Our sponsor is <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/"><b>Jellypark</b></a> and the winner will receive their choice of any <b>TWO</b> images from the Jellypark store, except fundraisers.... but while you're at the JP shop, it's not a bad idea to check out the fundraisers... there are a variety of charities to support and every little bit helps!!<br />
<br />
For my card this week, I got to play with <a href="http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2299987-181-Robin-and-bird-house-digital-stamp.html"><b>Robin and Bird House</b></a>.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was trying to go with a "Clean and Simple" look, by printing the image directly on the card front and only adding the lacy ribbon bow, then I saw the "<a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=343"><b>Battenburg Lace and Crochet Trim</b></a>" collection from SVGCuts and HAD to have it!! This is the reason I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Eclips!! This little lacy trim piece was cut at 4.25" wide and there was not one snag!! So delicate and intricate and it cut like a breeze!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I just have to share a little story this week before you go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Friday night at work was a little rough! It was snowing, which of course means we're busy! At one point, we had well over 100 people in our dining room... all skiers! There was a bit of a ruckus and some of the kids started getting a little loud, so I went out to see what was going on... it turns out, some of our charming Guests (and I use that term generously) decided it would be fun to have a bonfire on our picnic tables outside... thankfully, the tables are all stone, so no harm was done, but they got everyone wound up...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Around 10:30 pm, the door to the ladies room was acting strange, not opening or closing properly. One of my employees climbed up on a ladder to try to fix the closer-thingy. He was banging and making a ton of noise, so I went in to see what was going on. As I walked through the door and said "What's going on?", he jumped a little (I must have startled him), and he DROPPED HIS HAMMER <u>ON MY HEAD</u>!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No, you can't make this up!! It is 100% true!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I let out a few choice words as my knees buckled and I crumpled to the floor... brought tears to my eyes pretty quick, I must say!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I went to the ER and they did at CT Scan to see if there was any internal damage or concussion. The results came back clear... now I'm assuming that meant there was no brain damage, but my hubby is insisting it was CLEAR, because there's nothing in there!! Ha Ha Ha.... ain't he funny!?! LOL!! (-:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gotta find the funny in everyday stuff, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nothing funny about the 3-6" of snow we're getting today... more skiers, and more of some kind of mess to clean up or fix... luckily, I'll have a couple days off, but, frankly, I'm just about ready for winter to finish up altogether and move on...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But since it's still winter, and there's still snow, I sure hope you'll pop over to the <a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Robyn's Fetish Challenge blog</a> and join us for our <a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/"><b>Winter Cards with Snow Challenge</b></a>!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See how I brought that all together? Pretty smooth, eh? (-:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See you next time!</div>

<br />
I'm back with another installment of the weekly <b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Robyn's Fetish Challenge</a></b>!<br />
<br />
This week, we are sponsored by <a href="http://myheartpiecesdigitalstamp.blogspot.com/"><b>My Heart Pieces</b></a> and the winner will receive <i>THREE</i> images of <i>their</i> choice! Fabulous, right?<br />
<br />
Our theme this week is <b>PAPER PIECING</b> and I got to use a cute image from the My Heart Pieces Shop called: "Bathing Fairy". You can find it <b><a href="http://myheartpiecesdigitalstamp.blogspot.in/2012/01/bathing-fairy.html">HERE</a></b>.<br />
<br />
As you know, I did a little paper piecing for last week's project, too, for my bee's body and wings... it really is quite fun to see a digital image come to life with patterned paper and it adds so much depth and texture to a project.<br />

When my boys were babies, we always used the Johnson's <span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Lavender</b></span> scented body wash for them, because it did tend to sooth and relax them when it was bed time... so when I saw the bath image, I was thinking relaxation and chose to work with the "<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Chateau <i>Lavender</i></span></b>" mat stack from DCWV...<br />
<br />
I cut out the tea cup, the flowers, the stem, the wings, the slippers, the shampoo bottle, the comb, and the sunglasses! WHEW! That's a lot of fussy cutting!!<br />
<br />
The bubbles are a mixture of liquid pearls (white opal) and Stickles (diamond). In real life, they look all shimmery and "bubbly"! (-:<br />
<br />
The swirly background is from <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/swirly-frames-5-6/"><b>Bird's Cards</b></a>... she has some of the most amazing <i>FREE</i> SVG files!! This one is called "<b><a href="http://www.birdscards.com/swirly-frames-5-6/">Swirly Frame 6</a></b>"... let me tell you, frames one through five are JUST as fantastic!!! I cut the frame in white, the shadow layer in lavender, then popped it on a stipey piece...<br />
<br />
The polka dotted flower behind my fairy was cut with the "Blossom" Nestie then trimmed out in more Stickles...<br />
<br />
Every paper on the card came from one mat stack! Aren't I all "Matchy-Matchy" this week? LOL!!<br />
<br />

The winner will receive their choice of any <b>THREE</b> images from the <b><a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/">Robyn's Fetish Store</a></b>!<br />
<br />
The theme of the challenge this week is:<br />
<b>"Have a Heart"</b>: the only twist is that your creation must include <b>THREE</b> hearts!<br />
<br />

<br />
I used <a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=84"><b>"Bee Mine"</b></a>, which comes with it's own sentiment as well!<br />
<br />
I wanted to take a second to share a little trick I learned for paper-piecing with dark or black papers.<br />
It might be obvious to some, but to others it may be their "Ah-Hah Moment", so here ya go:<br />
<br />
Print the image on yellow paper, then <i>flip</i> the image and print it on the <i>BACK</i> of the black/patterned paper. It makes it easier to see the image and cut out the pieces of his wings and body to piece into place!<br />
<br />
And don't be afraid to print digis on colored paper... there's no reason to print on <i>white</i> paper, then <i>color</i> it all yellow, right?<br />
<br />
The bee hive is an SVG file I found a long time ago... see <a href="http://hestiashelper.blogspot.com/2010/07/honey-bunches-easel-card.html">THIS POST</a>!<br />
<br />
That's about it for this week!<br />

Whew! Another crazy weekend at work and I'm just relieved to be off all day Sunday!<br />
The people I work with work are so talented and dedicated, and they continue to impress me every day!<br />
I just want to give them all a little shout-out, even though none of them knows about this blog!<br />
Great job, Team 532!! Couldn't do it without you!! <3<br />
<br />
OK... on to this week's <b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Robyn's Fetish Challenge</a></b>!<br />
<br />
This week, we are sponsored by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DigitalPaperCraft?ref=si_shop">Digital Paper Craft</a> and the winner will receive $12 worth of items from the DIGITAL PAPER CRAFT ETSY STORE!! Thank you to our sponsor! That is a great prize!<br />

I used the "Little Boy 2 Softball" image, which you can find <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/108716442/digital-stamp-little-boy-2-softball-or?ga_search_query=boys">HERE AT THIS LINK</a>.<br />
He is available in black and white as well as a colored version!<br />
<br />
My star brads are from Doodlebug Design Inc and the "Happy Birthday" ribbon was in a Martha Stewart set of sentiment ribbons.<br />

<b><br /></b>
Now, remember last week, I told ya'll that Santa brought me a new camera...<br />
<br />
I'm still fiddling with it and trying to figure out how to take decent pictures ...<br />
<br />
Somehow, everything looks a little yellow-ish, but I think that's the light in my craft room...<br />
<br />
It's a pretty nice camera, so I'm convinced it is 100% operator error!<br />
<br />
The background paper is really a soft, <b><span style="color: magenta;">pink</span></b> pastel and the swirls on the side are actually <b><span style="color: #674ea7;">purple</span></b>!<br />
The paper came from the DCWV Chateau <span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Lavender</b></span> matstack... by the name of the paper, I'm sure you can tell that it's a <b><span style="color: #674ea7;">lavender</span></b> color, even if it looks icky here!<br />
<br />
And the lace is actually <b><span style="color: magenta;">PINK</span></b>.... go figure! The only thing that looks pink or purple on my card is the Recollections Flower and the pink present in the digi... Even the little girls look orange!?!<br />
<br />
AUCK!!<br />
I swear, I"ll keep trying! (-:<br />
<br />
For now, I hope you'll just stop over to the <b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog</a></b> and see what the other ladies on the team have created! You'll be glad you did!!<br />

<br />
Well, as many of you already know, I work in a Ski Resort Town!<br />
<br />
You also probably know that all schools are closed the week between Christmas and New Years, which means there are hundreds of kids with TONS of free time!<br />
<br />
And if you've watched the news, you are probably aware of the nearly THREE FEET of snow that has fallen on Western New York over the past week!<br />
<br />
Combine all those things and you can probably figure out what I've been doing all weekend!<br />
<br />
It has been an absolute MADHOUSE at work and I've been putting in 13+ hours a day since last Wednesday!<br />
<br />
I thought I had set my Robyn's Fetish Challenge post to "auto-pilot", but alas, I did not...<br />
so, although it is a day late, I want to share my project with you!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
Here's my card, using the digital image "Sweet Treats".<br />
Santa brought me a new camera for Christmas, and I'm still getting used to using it.<br />
Some of the colors aren't looking quite right, so I have to fiddle with the "indoor" and "close-up" settings to get it right, but you get the idea!<br />
<br />

My doily is a cut out from the SVGCuts.com Doily Collection.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's another picture, with a little better coloring!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this one looks blurry and has shadows...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but the colors look more like the "real thing"...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmm... I'll eventually figure it out! (-:</div>

I opted for fun and simple this week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two boys and they're not in to flowers and pretty things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I had them in mind when I made this card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used "Puffy Paint" on the snow, and paper pieced the letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card actually measures 6" across, so there's lots of room inside</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to send a special message to my little ones!</div>

Yes, I made it, albeit a little late! It's been quite a week!<br />
Susan, our RF DT Coordinator has been oh-so-very patient with me and I appreciate her so much!<br />
I know how much work is involved with coordinating a large team and she is an ACE!<br />
THANK YOU to Susan and all my RF DT sistah's... I will do my best to stay on track now! (-:<br />
<br />
This week, the <b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/challenge-138-snowmen-12162012.html">Robyn's Fetish Challenge</a></b> theme is: <b>Snowmen</b>!<br />
We're being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and the winner will get <b>THREE</b> new digis!<br />
<br />
For my card, I used "<b><a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=77">Home for the Holidays</a></b>", which you can find at the RF Shop!<br />

<br />
This was a pretty easy card to put together, once I saw the sketch at <a href="http://kgiron.blogspot.com/2012/12/sweet-sunday-sketch-challenge-174.html"><b>The Sweetest Thing</b></a><br />
<br />
Can you believe I actually made an <i>entire</i> card without using my E-Clips? I know, amazing, right?!?<br />
I sure do love me some paper "architecture"! Cutting and assembling 3-D paper projects is so fun, but this week, I actually challenged myself to make a project without it, and I <i>did</i> have fun!!<br />
<br />
I hope you'll join us this week at <b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/challenge-138-snowmen-12162012.html">Robyn's Fetish</a></b> and show us all your snowmen!!<br />
<br />
There are a few challenges I would like to enter this week, including a BRAND NEW one at <a href="http://blog.thestampingshack.co.uk/2012/12/let-holidays-begin-challenge.html"><b>The Stamping Shack</b></a>! The Stamping Shack has just recently joined our community at <a href="http://thestampingboutique.ning.com/group/the-stamping-shack"><b>The Crafter's Cafe</b></a> and I'm sure you'll love the images in their shop!<br />
<br />
Also, one of my <i>favorite</i> challenge blogs, <a href="http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/2012/12/challenge-146-baby-its-cold-outside.html"><b>The Order of the Opus Gluei</b></a>... their theme this week is "Baby it's Cold Outside" and they have challenged us to take inspiration from our favorite Christmas song or carol... well, my favorite Christmas movie, aside from The Grinch, is Frosty the Snowman... this little guy sure is a "jolly, happy soul"... although his corncob pipe appears to have gone missing...<br />
<br />
Another of my favorite spots to visit is <a href="http://guylousinimitability.blogspot.com/2012/12/snow-happy-challenge.html"><b>Guylou's Inimitability</b></a>! Their challenge this week is: "Snow Happy"... I'm just happy I got my card done this week, after all the other stuff we had going on!<br />
<br />
The challenge at <a href="http://qkrstampede.blogspot.com/2012/12/challenge-18-snowmen-snow-angels.html"><b>QKR Stampede</b></a> is "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Unkempt; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Snowmen, Snow Angels, Snowballs, Snow Fun!" </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here: I'll break it down for you!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. The Red and Green is pretty obvious. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are Basic Grey, Nordic Christmas pack</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the red stripes and the snowman liners in the drawers.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4.Distressing: I used TH Broken China Distress Ink</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the drawers are a <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/matchboxes/"><b>FREE matchbox file from Birds Cards</b></a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out four of them, arranged them on a 5" x 5" base</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this became my base!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to take a picture with his hat off, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

with lots of space for Hershey Kisses! (MMM!!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. I guess the Poinsettia is pretty obvious too! (-:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. I used buttons for the drawer pulls. I sewed them on to little ribbon loops </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and used Glue Dots to attach them over the ric rac.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Bow/Ribbon: well, there's ribbon in the drawer pulls </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Before I show you my card this week for the Robyn's Fetish Challenge, I wanted to take a second to tell you about my experience Thursday night at Target!<br />
I have NEVER gone "Black Friday" shopping and to think that the stores were actually opening on Thanksgiving Day really bugged me just a little bit! But we went to visit my MIL and she saw some deals too great to pass up in their "Doorbusters" ad, so we braved the crowd to try our luck!<br />
<br />
When we arrived at Target at <b><u>8:40</u></b>, there was already a line halfway around the building and the security people were handing out slips of colored paper. Their explanation was: "When we open at 9, we're letting in 30 people at a time, in intervals, and we're separating the groups of 30 with these slips"... OK...<br />
We found our place at the end of the line and at 9pm, the line started inching forward... a little bit at a time, we got closer to the front doors... by <b><u>9:06</u></b>, we were inside the store!!<br />
Nice and orderly, no pushing, shoving, trampeling, or chaos at ALL!!<br />
<br />
All the "Doorbuster" items were in piles in the main aisle as we walked in the door and there were LOTS of each thing in the ad!! I snagged a deal or two (-:<br />
<br />
The electronics department was roped off and there was a line to get in, but, again, it was very calm and orderly and it seemed like there were plenty of products to go around!<br />
<br />
We got what we came for and went to check out. There was an employee at the end of the roped off cashier's area directing traffic along the back wall, through the grocery department and along the side wall... we found our place at the end of the line, and when we got to the check out area, there was a guy directing everyone to registers... We were out the door by <b><u>9:52</u></b>!!<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe how PLEASANT the whole experience was!<br />
<br />
Three cheers for Target in Gates, NY (outside Rochester) for an outstanding experience!!<br />
<b><u>Thank you</u></b> for having everything planned out and SO very organized and orderly!<br />
<hr />
OK... that's really all I wanted to say!!<br />
Now, my card for this week:<br />
<br />
The challenge at the <a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/challenge-135-black-white-and-one-other.html">Robyn's Fetish Blog</a> this week is:<br />

<br />
I got to work with "Love my Striped Bonnet"... I traced the image in E-CAL, then cut out the flowers in pink. This card took about 10 minutes to complete, from start-to-finish, but I love how it turned out!<br />
<br />
OK, I'll admit, coming up with the "idea" took a little longer... but once I decided what I was going to do, it was done lickety-split! (-:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To me, when I saw our challenge was "Vintage",</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought "old", like it came out of Grandma's cedar chest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get that "old" look, here's what I did:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was inspired by the Chateau Lavender Mat Stack from DCWV.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Some of the papers in that pack are just stunning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
with the texture and glitter... WOW!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I distressed all my edges with scissors then inked the edges</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Ink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and cut the cameo frame with my eClips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get the "old" look around my school girl, I colored her with Copics,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>ripped</i> her out of the card stock to get that torn-looking edge,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then spritzed her with a little water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I crumpled her into a ball to let the inks run,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then flattened it out to air dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While it was still damp, I inked the edges with TH Tea Dye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made the roses with my eClips and some </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
home-made shimmer spray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I hope you'll join us this week</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">This week, the challenge at the Robyn's Fetish Blog is </span><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/challenge-133-anything-goes-11112012.html" style="text-align: start;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">ANYTHING GOES</span></b></a><span style="text-align: start;">!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love "Anything Goes", because it means I don't have any rules!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish and<br />
we got to pick <i>any</i> image we wanted from the RF Shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--XLWgnFyiJ0/TwAyxQR3_rI/AAAAAAAAAt4/JdK0HBR-VfA/s200/fairykingdommainbadge.jpg" width="197" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I thought of when I saw "<a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=346">Prissy Poinsettia</a>" was <i><b>decoupage</b></i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How ironic that <a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/sues-craftworld-tutorials-decoupage.html">Sue's Craftworld Tutorial</a> last week was how to do this! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had already created my card when her tut was posted,<br />
but the timing could not have been more perfect!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It saves me a lot of time explaining how I did it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just click the link to Sue's tutorial...<br />
that is exactly the same technique I used for this poinsettia!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2BShrduHBs/UKBsMK14HhI/AAAAAAAADjU/8RWrUKJGq-8/s1600/poinsettia+closeup.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2BShrduHBs/UKBsMK14HhI/AAAAAAAADjU/8RWrUKJGq-8/s320/poinsettia+closeup.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did cut a few shapes with my Eclips: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Scalloped Square from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=77">SVGCuts Nested Lacey Shapes</a>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Doily from SVGCuts <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=296">Doilies SVG Collection</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the tag from the ECal library. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little green for the leaves, some gold Stickles for the berries and around the doily tips,<br />
the background is a Sizzix embossing folder (I think it's called "frosty" or something like that),<br />
and some glitter tape from my friend Cori at Gingersnap Scraps... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't say this was "easy", because fussy-cutting those flower petals was pretty time consuming,<br />
but it was definitely not "difficult"!<br />
It was <b><i>fun</i></b> and I think it turned out looking pretty classy and elegant<br />
for some plain white paper and glitter glue! (-:</div>
