Winter Wonderland

Happy Thursday! I hope you are having a great week.  I am happy to say that I have the next 3 days off. My Son is in a Hockey tournament this weekend, so we are off to Connecticut for a hockey weekend and a mini vacation.  I am looking forward to it, all except the COLD rink.
  Speaking of cold, I have a winter card to share with you today.  I used 2012 outhouse Digi by Rick St. Dennis.  I love this image because it has a big country feel to it.  It is a great image, that allows  for pretty much any saying!
                         This week Rick St. Dennis is Sponsoring
                            Trimmies Craft Challenge
And the challenge is based on a picture of a snowy garden, which is where I got the inspiration for my card.  Be sure to check them out, and play with us.  Have a great weekend, and Happy Creating!

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Make it Sparkle

Happy Tuesday! Here we are for another week of Going Grey With Scrap-Creations. This week we have a fun and easy challenge for you, and one of Peggy's favorites!.  This week we want to see your cards SPARKLE!!! I for one, am not a "sparkle" kind of girl.  I hate using glitter on my cards, as I find it messy and difficult.  For this weeks challenge, I made a holiday card using The Night Before Christmas Digi by Rick St. Dennis, which is available at I Brake For Stamps, and if you haven't had a chance to check out I Brake for Stamps, you have to take a look.  Della has so many, both Digi and rubber, and if you see something you like, please feel free to use my DT code:SAVE10KRISTEN and save 10% on your total order!

     I completely love this image...love, love, love Rick's mice images.  How cute is he??? As you can see, I even used glitter...well, not really glitter...I used stickles, cause they are easy...hehehe!  Like I said, I am not a glitter kinda girl, but I know many of you are.  So, lets see those sparkly projects!!!!
    Last weeks Give thanks projects were wonderful. You all are so creative.  As always, it was it is so difficult to pick the just three, but after much deliberation, last weeks GIVE THANK TOP 3 are:


                                                                          Elizabeth

 

                                                                         Susan

                                                                          Julie

Autumn Nap

Happy Saturday!  Today I am off to a huge craft fair in Boston Ma, and I am really looking forward to it, as I haven't had much "me" time lately.  Nothing like spending the day with one of my good friends enjoying some girl time and crafts.  As Christmas approaches, the craft fairs are popping up all over the place. Hard to believe Christmas is next month.....
   Today I want to share with you a card I just made using Rick St. Dennis's Autumn Nap image, which you can find on his new Zibbet site.  If you haven't had time to check out his new site, you must. He has 100's, of images, and such a variety.  How cute is this mouse...Love him, he was super quick to color and would make for a note card set for a gift to someone!  Well, I hope you have a great day and happy creating!

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Give Thanks

Happy Tuesday & Happy November!!! I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine was pretty busy, 3 Hockey games, a visit to my MIL's, and I managed a few hours with the girls to do some coloring.  I really do love my little "crafty" group of ladies, and I cherish our once a month get together.  Nothing like girl talk, healthy food, and crafts to create a great day!
   So, I can't believe it's November already and we are just approx 7 weeks away from Christmas....How the heck did that happen.  Honestly, where did the time go.  I guess i should start thinking about Christmas shopping,and gift making....  Well, before I lose myself in Christmas, let me pull myself back into November and celebrate this weeks Challenge with: Give Thanks...This week we want to see your Thanksgiving, or thankful cards.   For the Challenge, I used Pretty Pumpkin rubber stamp, which is available at I Brake For Stamps.  I went with a grateful sentiment, and will be sending this card to my sweet little nice Rowan for Thanksgiving.  This image would be great for fall, Thanksgiving, or any fall Birthday or note card.  I love these Chelsea Le Design stamps.  They are super fun to color...
   WOWZERS....As you may know, Halloween is a favorite for me and you all did such fabulous projects.  It was impossible for me to pick the TOP 3 this week, so Peggy did it for me, and her TOP 3 from the Halloween challenge are:

                                                                             Christy

                                                                            Glenda

                                                                            Tracey

It's time To Be Thankful!

 
 Happy Saturday.  I hope you have had a good week, and a Happy Halloween!  While we managed to have fun Trick-or-Treating, it would have been better had it not rained the whole night, but like I said, we had a good time anyway. Here is a pic of my lovely's.  My daughter was dressed as a Zombie prom Queen (but she is much to cute to be a zombie), and my son was dressed as a Bruins player, which was perfect, because he plays hockey and we had everything he need to put his costume together, without spending a penny (sweet).

    Today I want to share with you, this card I made using this super sweet Priscilla Pilgrim image by Rick ST. Dennis.  Every month, Rick puts out a newsletter and in the newsletter he gives away a freebie.  Priscilla is this months freebie, and I think she is as sweet as can be!!  If you didn't get this months letter, you can sign up here to get next months freebie, and if you would like Priscilla, you can purchase her here.  If you love Mice, Rick has a whole section of these adorable critters.  Well, that is all for me today. I hope you have a great weekend :)
