Robyn's Fetish Challenge #143: Round Cards

Hey Diddle Diddle,
The Cat and the fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the moon,
The little Dog laughed to see such fun
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon!

While browsing through the shop of

our sponsor:

The Digi Garden

to find a digi for this weeks' 

Round Cards Challenge

at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog

I found Tulip the Cow

and knew exactly what I was going to do

for this weeks' challenge!

I printed Tulip on paper from the Echo Park "Sweet Day" pad
and cut the moon and stars (an SVGCuts.com freebie) from the same pad.

The other ladies on the Robyn's Fetish team have 
gone all out this time 'round and have some great work to show you.

I hope you stop over to visit the challenge blog and see!!

The PRIZE  for this challenge is

7 digital stamps of the winner's choice from

THE DIGI GARDEN STORE.

And don't forget, we have a new Facebook Page!

Robyn's Fetish Challenge #142

This weeks' challenge at the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is to
create a project using PINK, PURPLE and LACE!

We are sponsored this week by Broken Box Stock and the images in their shop are cute, cute and cute!
My favorite part is that they come in an already-colored version!!

And the winner gets TWO complete pages of NINE digis in two themes: "Everyday Toodles" and "Holiday Toodles"! What a GREAT prize!! EIGHTEEN digis, altogether!!

I got to work with Surprise Toodles!

Now, remember last week, I told ya'll that Santa brought me a new camera...

I'm still fiddling with it and trying to figure out how to take decent pictures ...

Somehow, everything looks a little yellow-ish, but I think that's the light in my craft room...

It's a pretty nice camera, so I'm convinced it is 100% operator error!

The background paper is really a soft, pink pastel and the swirls on the side are actually purple!
The paper came from the DCWV Chateau Lavender matstack... by the name of the paper, I'm sure you can tell that it's a lavender color, even if it looks icky here!

And the lace is actually PINK.... 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!?!

AUCK!!
I swear, I"ll keep trying! (-:

For now, I hope you'll just stop over to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and see what the other ladies on the team have created! You'll be glad you did!!

Use a Doily! Robyn's Fetish Challenge

Hello, friends.

Well, as many of you already know, I work in a Ski Resort Town!

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!

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!

Combine all those things and you can probably figure out what I've been doing all weekend!

It has been an absolute MADHOUSE at work and I've been putting in 13+ hours a day since last Wednesday!

I thought I had set my Robyn's Fetish Challenge post to "auto-pilot", but alas, I did not...
so, although it is a day late, I want to share my project with you!



Our sponsor is "Stitchy Bear Stamps".

The winner will receive a $10 Gift Certificate!

WOW! That's a pretty great prize!








The challenge theme this week is:

USE A DOILY!

Here's my card, using the digital image "Sweet Treats".
Santa brought me a new camera for Christmas, and I'm still getting used to using it.
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!

My doily is a cut out from the SVGCuts.com Doily Collection.

The papers are from the DCWV "Sweets" mat stack.

Here's another picture, with a little better coloring!

But this one looks blurry and has shadows...

but the colors look more like the "real thing"...

Hmmm... I'll eventually figure it out! (-:

Hope you'll pop over to the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog and see the awesome cards the rest of the team has posted! As you'll see, there are LOTS of creative ways to USE A DOILY!

Cards for Children

Robyn's Fetish Challenge #139 has started! 

Our theme this week is 

Cards for Children

and our sponsor is Bugaboo!

I opted for fun and simple this week!

I have two boys and they're not in to flowers and pretty things

and I had them in mind when I made this card.

I used "Puffy Paint" on the snow, and paper pieced the letters.

The card actually measures 6" across, so there's lots of room inside

to send a special message to my little ones!

Hope you'll pop over to Robyns' Fetish Challenge Blog

and see the cute stuff our team has made!

The winner of this challenge will win a $21 voucher to the Bugaboo Shop!!

Thanks for popping in today and see you soon!

Robyn's Fetish Snowman Challenge

Good morning! Yes, I made it, albeit a little late! It's been quite a week!
Susan, our RF DT Coordinator has been oh-so-very patient with me and I appreciate her so much!
I know how much work is involved with coordinating a large team and she is an ACE!
THANK YOU to Susan and all my RF DT sistah's... I will do my best to stay on track now! (-:

This week, the Robyn's Fetish Challenge theme is: Snowmen!
We're being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and the winner will get THREE new digis!

For my card, I used "Home for the Holidays", which you can find at the RF Shop!

This was a pretty easy card to put together, once I saw the sketch at The Sweetest Thing

Can you believe I actually made an entire card without using my E-Clips? I know, amazing, right?!?
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 did have fun!!

I hope you'll join us this week at Robyn's Fetish and show us all your snowmen!!

There are a few challenges I would like to enter this week, including a BRAND NEW one at The Stamping Shack! The Stamping Shack has just recently joined our community at The Crafter's Cafe and I'm sure you'll love the images in their shop!

Also, one of my favorite challenge blogs, The Order of the Opus Gluei... 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...

Another of my favorite spots to visit is Guylou's Inimitability! 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!

The challenge at QKR Stampede is "Snowmen, Snow Angels, Snowballs, Snow Fun!" 

And one more... Stampin with the Dragon. The theme this week is "Heard a Bird Sing"... well, my little snowman has two birdie friends!
