THE ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #289--"BABY CARDS"--8 NOVEMBER 2015

Hi, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge on the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog!  This week's theme is Baby Cards, and our sponsor this week is Imagine That!  They are graciously providing three digital stamps of the winner's choice from the Imagine That! store.

Imagine That! was nice enough to provide the Design Team with images to use for this week's challenge (Thank you!), and I chose Mama & Baby, as I need a card for a baby gift for my neighbor.





 I used this sketch from Mojo Monday

Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style--Challenge #1!

This is my second post of the day.  If you're looking for the Robyn's Fetish Challenge post, please click here!

*********************************************************************************

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Today is the first day for the new challenge blog Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style, and I'm here with the sketch reveal and my take on the sketch!  The prize for November is the Day-to-Day Instalife Roller Stamp:

Our first sketch was created by the wonderfully talented Shawn Lahr:



Here's my take on Shawn's sketch:



I used a 4x6 card from my Becky Higgins Project Life Honey collection and added all of my elements to it.  The washi tape and yellow letters came from my stash, the rhinestones are Sunflower Yellow from Queen & Co., and the flowers are stickers also found in my stash.

I am SUPER far behind in my 2014 PL album, so this is the title card for Week 21 of 2014.  As it looks on my finished page:



Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to stop by the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style blog every day this week to see the rest of Team 1's creations, then hop over to the blog and enter your take on the sketch!  Hope to see you there!  Happy scrapping!

I'm highlighting a school wreath (and my six-year-old son!) I made for my front door last year.

I took a simple styrofoam wreath and some school fabric, then I used a glue gun to adhere the fabric to the styrofoam.  I added the yellow mesh as a hanger and took some school supplies I knew my son wouldn't use and glued them to the front of the wreath and on the edge of the chalkboard.  I love having the chalkboard, because I can just erase and write the grade level on it each year, and it serves as a first-day-of-school photo!  I also entered this in my county fair this year, where it won a blue ribbon and was considered for Best of Show!

I hope you're enjoying the hop so far!  Up next is Holli.

You should have arrived here from the Card A Day Challenge Blog.

I always like to have my Christmas cards made ahead of time, so I'm going to be sharing a Christmas card I've made.

I love Snoopy, so when I found this wood stamp in my stash (I'd forgotten I had it!) I knew I just had to use it.  I added some white glitter around the bottom of Snoopy's dog house for the snow and colored in the lights with my markers.  It probably took me less than fifteen minutes to make this, which is AWESOME.  The quicker the better when it comes to having to make a bunch of cards!

Your next stop is Barbara.
