Going Grey With Scrap-Creations: First Snow!

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you had a great weekend! Mine went by way to fast!  Sat we had our annual family Yankee swap, and Sunday, my daughter had her first gymnastics competition of the season. Both went wonderfully and were lots of fun! 
  As you all probably know, this is my last week of the semester I have my last "graded" exam on Thursday and I cannot wait for it to be over. The anxiety is killing me.  I am not a good test taker, and this exam covers 3 subjects....ahhhhh.....like I said, I need it to be over, and then I can get my Christmas on...LOL
  This week we have another great challenge for you, this week we want to see your SNOW cards....I decided to get one last Christmas card card, and combine it with "snow".  I used another fabulous Whimsey Star Studios image, and some new paper I bought today (yeah, because I need more paper....) and came up with this oh so very simple Christmas card. 
   Again, fabulous cards last week,but we can only have 3 TOP 3.....So, last weeks fab TOP 3 are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Make it a present

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. My guess is, for a lot of you it was a busy one...Holiday shopping and get togethers?  So, as you can see, I don't have a card ready for today's challenge. I of course waited till the last minute and then found myself SICK!  I have been plagued with sinus issues and a fever.  Went to the Dr. today and he gave me a prescription, so I am hoping to start feeling better tomorrow, and have a card for you by Wednesday. 

    If you read my post last week, you are probably wondering how my last test went, well, I messed up the date of the exam and it isn't till next Thursday the 15th (Phew..since I haven't started studying yet)!  So, with the last two weeks of school, it's going to get crazy and I have no time to be sick!

Ahhh..you all can rock out some Christmas cards.....Last weeks creations were amazing...you all are so creative!  Picking the TOP 3 was completely overwhelming...too many to choose.....With that being said, last weeks TOP 3 are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Christmas

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Did you attempt any shopping on "Black Friday"?  I actually slept in and headed out at 9am.  I didn't really go out with any great deals in mind, I just went shopping because my Dad asked me to go and help him out with his shopping. It ended up being a great day. We shopped most of the day and only stopped for a short time for some lunch.  Most of the stores and malls were crowded, but manageable. The worst store we went in was Kohls....The lines formed at the front of the store and went all the way around the back.  Yeap, I stood in line for my 2 items...hahha....it moved pretty quick.  The best part of the day, was spending it with my Dad!  Did you find any great deals???? Did you buy anything for yourself:)?

See this date...12/5/2011...This is my magic date! On this day I will take my last nursing exam of the semester...and let me tell you, I cannot wait.  I don't get out of school until 12/17/11, but everything after the 5th is cake....I seriously can't wait!  You see, I love school, I love the learning part, but I hate taking tests. I hate studying and all the anxiety that comes with it, so if you happen to look at your calender on the 5th, and think of me (after 2 pm), smile and know I am smiling with you :)
So this week, we have another super fun challenge for you....This week we want to see your Christmas cards or projects. Should be easy right, seeing we are right in the middle of the season.  I of course waited to the last minute to make mine, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I used one Whimsy Star studios images and combined it with some of my new Authetinque paper and here you have it!  A very traditional Christmas card.
   So, last weeks "Thank you challenge" entries were gorgeous., and as always, it is so hard to pick the weeks TOP 3....but a girl has to do what a girl has to do, so last weeks TOP 3 are:

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations: Thank YOU!!!!

Happy Tuesday! I can't believe Thanksgiving is in 2 days. This month has flown by...Turkey day and then Christmas!! Wow, the year is coming to an end quickly, but before it does, I have to pass one more nursing exam, and do one more presentation and I will be a free women for a month. Nursing school has been stressful to say the least, but it also leaves me with very little extra time , and what every time I do have, goes to my family. Often times when people aske me to go out and I tell them That I can't because I have to much homework, I think they think I am crazy. They look at me like I am blowing smoke. Well, as the semester nears the end, I thought I would give you a glimpse at "just one" of my binders, and yes, I have read all of thi plus some. The amount of reading in Nursing school is crazy. So, the next timesomeone says to you that they are in nursing school, and they can't come out to play, because they have to much work, you can shake your head and say "yes you do", with a smile of course!

So, with Thanksgiving being in 2 days, the DT and I decided we wanted to tak this week and say THANK YOU to all our followers and players. WIthout you, we wouldn't have this fanastic challenge. We appreciate you all playing with us every week. SO Today, we are thankful for you! That brings me to this weeks challenge, this week is a thank you or thankful card!
Last weeks entries for the Thanskgiving challenge were fantastic, but as you know, we can only have 3 top 3, and they are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Thanksgiving

Happy Tuesday! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I know I did...Got lots done and spent some time with the family. I love low key weekends! So, I have been doing a little Christmas shopping, and trying to decide on what I may ask for hehehe....So, the one thing that has caught my eye is the new copic marker case:
I have tried so many different storage arrangments with my markers and I am still not happy with what I have. So, my question to you all, does anone have this, and if so do you like it and what do you like or not like about it? Should this make my Christmas list???? What is on your Chistmas list???

Well, we have approx a week and and a couple of days till Thanksgiving, so it seems only right that we should have a Thanksgiving themed challenge this week. I am not sure about you, but I have found cute Pilgrim images are hard to come by. The good news, I found this super cute Whimsy Star studios image by Mabelle R.O. If you are not familar with her images, you should check them out,super cute and way fun to color! I believe the saying is a SU saying, and the DP is Basic Grey. I have decided not to go over board with embellishments because I would like to mail this card! So, if you can find the time to play with us this week, we would love to see your Thanksgiving themed card or project!

Last week we had some fantastic entries for our "Sentiment as main focus" challenge, but as always we can only have 3 TOP, so last weeks TOP 3 are:
