Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Favorite Holiday

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. As I had mentioned last week, My mom was in the hospital from sun-Wed, and then was released. She is doing better now, but still recovering. Thank you for all your well wishes.

This week we have another super fun challenge for you: This week, we want to see your projects made with your favorite holiday.

As many of you know, My family and I just love Halloween. We go crazy decorating the house, we have friends and family over for halloween. My husband decorates the yard very elaborately. We are usually the house that people drive by and slow down to look at all the decoration. Sometimes it all seems crazy, but My husband loves it! I love to make halloween cards. I love the papers, punches......everything halloween! For my card today, I used a Prairy Fairy image and made a easal card.....Simple!

Oh boy, the cards last week were awesome. They were all so wonderful.....but as you know, I can only pick 3...so the TOP 3 from last weeks Baby challenge are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Babies

Happy Tuesday! I am going to apologize in advance. I had fully planned to have my card done for today. My image was colored, but I didn't have my card completely read, and then it all begun, my mom got sick and was admitted to the hospital. There went any idea of finishing my card, so I apologize. I have spent the last 3 days running back and fourth from my house in NH, to the hospital in MA. So like I said, I apologize for not having a completed card or my post done on time. I actually grabbed my computer on my way out the door this morning, and I am blogging from my mom's hospital room, this is going to have to be a short post.....Lucky you :)

Want a FREEBIE?????

WOW...Friday already..This week has absolutely flown by for me. Kinda scary to think it is already the middle of July. It has been a pretty good week though, so I shouldn't complain. Abbey has started at a new Gymnastics school after 7 years at her previous gym, so that was a bit hard, but she has settled in nicely and is loving every minute of it. Ryan has started Ice skating lessons, and after a VERY timid start, he ended up just loving it (phew). So with all the driving lately I officially feel like a TAXI CAB! We did take a break and join some great friends for a day at the beach, and we had a FABULOUS time. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! Now here I sit on a Friday night writing My post and dreaming of Sat night......what happens tomorrow night you ask.....Pat Benatar concert, and yes, she is still alive...LOL! The reason I say that is, I was chatting with my younger brother (34) and he had mentioned that he was going to see Kid Rock, and I said "oh, really", I am going to see Pat Benatar, and he said "oh....silence.....she still alive?" Seriously, I am only 38, and he acts like I am elderly! Anyways, I can't wait to see a oldie but goodie!!!

So, anyone interested in a FREEBIE????? Starting today, Mabelle R.O, from Whimsey and Star studios is hosting a challenge over at Crafters Digital Art Center from July 15-July 27th . Use this fabulous sunflower image ( which you can get a CDAC), create a card following this sketch and color palette and link up,and one random winner will win 2 FREE images of their choice from Mabelle.:

If you're not a member of CDAC, no worries, you can sign up and it's FREE, and they host all kinds of Digi challenges. One more place for you to explore your creativity!
I used mabelle's image and followed the challenge, and I dug through my paper and viola, I found this great DP my friend Kim Howard had given me. Thanks Kim, it's perfect for my card!

Well, that is all for me today. I am off to color 30 digi images. Last fall I was chosen to be the Vice President of my nursing class, and as VP, I am responsible for various responsibilities, and one of my responsibilities is helping out with the incoming freshman nursing students. I volunteered to make 30 tote bag name tags for the freshman class.....YIKES....what was thinking :) Anyways, I have been doing coloring a little bit each night hoping to have them all colored and made in time for freshman orientation. So, that is how I will be spending my Friday night...getting inky! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and happy crafting friends!

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Summer

Happy 4th of July (a day late)!!! It is so hard to believe that it is already July! Summer is in full force. I can't help but to think that I only have 2 months left of freedom, before I return to my last year of nursing school.... I need to enjoy every minute I have, and this past holiday weekend was a good start! Friday was my son Ryan's 8th birthday, and we spent the day in Wells Maine, and took him mini golfing and swimming, followed by a barbecue and a camp fire. We then spent the rest of the weekend with my parents, at their place up in Wells. We enjoyed the beach, did some crabbing, went out for ice cream, cooked out and had a FABULOUS time.....Topped it off with frireworks in our town. It truly was a great holiday weekend!

With summer in full speed ahead, we thought we would celebrate this weeks challenge with just that in mind...This weeks challenge is Summer...We want to see your summer projects! I decide to go with the July 4th theme, seeing I just purchased this new Bo Bunny paper, and I wanted to to use it. I combined my new paper with this super cute new Whimsey and Star Studios image, and I think it makes a great summer card! I also used this week MOJO monday sketch.

p>All I can say is WOW....you all fabulous "anything but a card" projects last week, but the TOP 3 that really caught my eye were:
