Going Grey With Scrap-Creations challenge: Merry Christmas


Happy Tuesday. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday weekend.  Did you join the crazyss for black Frady shopping?  I had a great Thanksgiving, and I did go out on black Friday, but I went out later and didn't have to stand in any lines....Wahooooo.....All in All it was a great weekend!

    I would like to share a tradition that we have in our house. We have an ELf on The Shelf and everynight he moves while we are sleeping, well, last night he was fresh. He opened our flour and made elf angels in the flour......I have to admit, it was a big hit with the kids.....Do you have an elf on the shelf????  I would love to hear your stories.
    Ok, this weeks challenge is "Merry Christmas"!  We want to see what you are creating for the holidays.  For this weeks challenge, I made a very simple, but cute card.  I also had a journal page, but I couldn't get it done on time, so the x-mas card had to do........
                           So, last weeks "winter" Challenge" was amazing.....There were SO many gorgeous cards.....I picked TOP 3 and they are:
                                                                 Simone: Love the white and blue together...Stunning!
                                                                  

 

Ellie: Love your embellishments and colors
Christy Fabulous Scene, and I love everything about your card!

Family Journal page


Happy Friday! I thought I would post a quick page today on one of my newest journal pages.  This journal pages had to be one of the funnest pages I have made to date.  This page took a couple of days to create, but I love it.  I used a a few different mediums on this page: Dylusions sprays, Gesso, acrylic paints, and watercolor paints.  I also used my new Faber Castell PITT markers, and all I am going to say is :LOVE......They are fabulous markers!!! If you have never used them, Google them and watch a video. Christy Tomlinson has some wonderful videos using them....Beware, you are going to "need" them....If you decide to try them out, LMK what you think.....
    Ok, like I said, quick post today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and happy Crafting :)

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations: Give Thanks

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, I sure did.  It started on Friday night, I had a bunch of friends over for a Thirty-one party, and then on Saturday The kids had a jam packed day of fun activities with friends, Sunday, Ryan had a Hockey game in the morning and scored his first goal of the season (super exciting), and then Abbey and I drove to Boston for the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions (Great show), and then on Monday we topped off a great weekend with a day trip to the beach in Maine. It was one fantastic weekend....Love those kind of weekends :)
   With the weekend being jam packed with good times, I knew I need to make my card for this weeks Give Thanks challenge ahead of time, and honestly, when I am making cards lately, I feel like such a beginner...I have been spending all my creative time journaling and playing with altered media, that now I feel like I have lost my card making mojo...I loved coloring this image, but I hate the layout..blahhhh...but if I wanted perfect, I should buy Hallmark...right....
   Last weeks "Digi"challenge seemed to be a big hit...We had a great turnout....Wahoooo...I love all your creations........You are all so talented......Last weeks TOP 3 are picked by Peggy, and Peggy and said:                                 
     TOP 3
Sandy:  I love the layers and elements used on this card
Annmarie: I love the soft look of this card
Scrappellen - I love the Steampunk Theme

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Do it Digi


Happy Tuesday!!! I am happy to report that Hurricane Sandy has passed and where I live we didn't see to much damage.  We were fortunate to only have lost our lights briefly and the kids only missed two days of school....with that being said, my heart goes out to NJ & NY. It is so heartbreaking to see so many with so much devastation....My heart goes out to all who are dealing with Hurricane Sandy's aftermath.
    Was it a good weekend???  Saturday ended up being a very productive day in my house. We got our fall yard clean up done (well, almost), and lots of laundry and house cleaning, and then on Sunday Abbey (my daughter) had her first gymnastics competition of the season and I am happy to report that she did great, and so did her team...wahooo...it was a sucessful first meet.  As you know, we had to turn the clocks back on Sat night and as the rest of Sunday went on, I was feeling like it was 48 hrs long...Not sure about you, but it seemed like the longest day EVER!!!!!   The only thing I hate about turning the clocks back is the fact that it gets dark so early in the day (4ish), and to add to that it is also COLD now (18 degrees tonight with possible snow).  Winter is on it's way....ARGH....How much longer till summer???? LOL...
   So, are you asking yourself "what the heck did she make for this weeks challenge"...hehehe...with this weeks challenge being "DIGI:, I thought I would go WAY out of the box and show you what I make with a image I used from a google search.....As you know, I have been doing a lot of altered journalingg lately and this week I wanted to chouw you one of the the first journal pages I made.  Often I use journaling as a way of coping with lifes stressors.  Some how getting things down on paper seems to help me...So when I made this 2 page journal layout, I wanted to do 2 of the same but different...I used a "digi" image I obtained from the internet and then traced it on watercolor paper and what "Dylusion" crazy from there....and as I look at this page all I can see is my terrible handwriting....UGH..letting go, letting go....Letting it go!!!
   Ok, I have talked enough...It's time to get to the fun stuff, Like last weeks  "Pop It Up" challenge...and this week Mary picked last weeks TOP 3, and they are:
 
                                                                   LoriannaThis snowflake is very delicate and elegant popped up as the focal point of the card.
 
                                                              Pauline: I love the way this image is stacked up, simply beautiful!
 
                                                          Spyder:I love all the dimension this adorable card has, great image to pop up for lots of FUN
