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:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Senitment as Main focus!

Happy Tuesday! I am happy to announce that we finally have power and the kids have gone back to school. We ended up being without power for 5 days, and the kids missed 4 days of school...arghhh....that means winter hasn't even started and they have already lost 4 days. At this rate, they will be in school till July! So, with that being said, I am happy to say that this week is starting off much better, and will be even better after tomorrows nursing Cardiac exam. Lets just say that cardiac is not my favorite topic...blehhh....

New week, new challenge! This weeks challenge, is truly a challenge for me. This week we want to see your projects where the sentiment is the main focus. So, this was a really hard challenge for me. I really am a coloring and image kind of girl, and this took a bit of thought, and I have to say, this is not my favorite card, but I did it! That is what a challenge truly is, right??? I don't have many greeting stamps, so I computer generated the Merry Christmas!

I apologize ahead of time for the quick post today, but the heart test is calling! Last week we had some great entry's for our "Pumpkin" challenge, but as you know, we can only have 3 Top 3, and last weeks top 3 are:

Audrey:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Pumpkins Please!

Happy Halloween (a day late)! Wow, what can I say, it has been a crazy few days around here in New England, to say the least. The pic you see to your left is a picture I took of my house on Sunday! That's right this past Sunday on October 30th. We got hot with a pretty good sized snow storm, particularly for October. You see, we don't usually get snow in October in October, never mind a whooping storm like this. The trees still have leaves on them, and with all the heavy snow, we lost lights, we had broken trees, and the kids are out of school STILL!!! Who knows when they'll go back. 1/2 of the school in our town still have no power. We have been without power since Sat, and have no idea when it will return. Like I said, it has been a bit crazy around here, and I with all the craziness, I haven't had a chance to stamp, but my DT did a great job with this weeks challenge, which is PUMPKINS....we want to see your pumpkin cards.
I completely enjoyed all your Digi creations last week, and loved all your comments! While it's always so hard to pick, last weeks TOP 3 were:
Arbella:

Georgina:
