Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Red,Pink and White

Happy Tuesday!!! I hope you had a great weekend!!! Mine was a bit busy, with errands,homework and my daughter's gymnastics competition,but overall a pretty good weekend. 
   Not sure if you are aware, but the winter CHA is going on right now in CA, and I am so wishing I was there.  I have had the pleasure of attending once and I had a amazing time, and I got to meet up with so many on-line friends.  I guess I am just going to have to live through all the photos I am seeing on-line.  Hopefully I can attend next year, when I am out of school. You up for it Kim Howard???? Roomie?????  I can't wait to see all the new stuff coming out. I am mostly anticipating the new distress markers by Tim Holtz....Can't wait to see....(insert excitement)!!!

Last week we were challenged with a sketch challenge using one of Carly's sketches,and I will admit, when I first looked at the challenge,I thought "oh man, not an easy one", but I ended up loving it and you all did wonderful with it.  As always, I can only choose 3, so last weeks TOP 3 are:
Bettina:

Gale:

Deanne:

Fabulous cards ladies, Please feel free to grab the I made TOP 3 Badge on the right side of my blog .

So this week,we have a SUPER fun challenge!!!! This week we want to see your projects using the colors RED, PINK, and WHITE!!!

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Sketch

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was pretty low key and didn't do to much, which isn't a bad thing.  Well today is my first day of my last semester of nursing school.  I can barely believe it. It has taken me 6 years total, 4 years part-time and 2 years full-time. It has been a LONG road, but I am excited to finish this journey, so BRING IT!!! LOL!

   This week, we doing one of my favorite challenges, a sketch challenge. To me, if I have a sketch to follow, things seem to flow so much easier.  We will be using one of Carly's sketches (Thank you Kristine B). I can't wait to see how you interput the sketch!

 So you all like your glitter hah....We had a wonderful turn out last week and it was SOOO hard to pick the top 3, so I didn't, I picked 4....hehehe. So last weeks TOP 4 are:

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Die Cuts

Happyy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I am happy to report that I had a great weekend.  Saturday I went stamp shopping with Mary, Peggy, Pia and Michelle, and we had a wonderful time followed by a yummy lunch, and then on Sat night, we had dinner with my parents, and then on Sunday Abbey (my daughter) and I went to the UNH vs Penn State gymnastics meet with some great friends.  Like I said, we had a great weekend!
   So,  I am in my last week off before my last semester of nursing school starts. I wouldlike to tell you that I have fun things planned, but I don't. We have already been giving homework and reading list, so I will be starting on that, and hopefully get some images colored, as I have come upon some new companys that I just love, and can't wait to use their digis :)
So, we have another super fun and easy challenge for you this week.  This week we want to see your projects using DIECUTS! For this weeks project, I went with a coffin and vampires (because I love them), and I also thought it would be a cool valentines gift.heheh.  The coffin is a cardboard coffin, that I painted with acrylic paint, rubbed on glitter and there you have it. I used a Tiddly Inks image, that I just love!
Well, we had some awesome entrys last week, and the TOP 3 are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Glitter

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful week. Mine was rather laid back, and nothing to exciting going on.  Enjoying my last two weeks off from school. It has been really nice, while the kids have been at school, I have been enjoying time with family and friends and Believe it or not, I have been stamping away..I have colored more in the last two weeks, than in the past 3 months....It is amazing what you can do when you are relaxed.
   So, my card for this weeks challenge will be heading to my BF Paula (whom doesn't like crafts or cards).  Her birthday is on the 19th, so I am way ahead of the game.  I used this sweet Wee Stamps image and some of my new DP.  I even used one of the paper dies that came with the paper pack. I never do that, so that is a good start using what I have, which is a New Years resolution.  Keeping with this weeks challenge, I used glitter on the present and the flowers.....Did you catch that, this weeks challenge GLITTER!!!!!!  Simple layout, but I like it :)  Mostly, I loved coloring this image..hehehe!

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Something old, something new

Happy New Year!!!! Yes, we have been on break for the last two weeks, but we are BACK with a new challenge every Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a VERY happy New year.  Did Santa bring you everything you wished for????  If you remember, I was curious about the Copic carrying case, and well, I got it. I wish I could tell you how much I LOVE it, but I didn't and I decided it was to much like a luggage and not what I was really looking for. The good news though, I returned it and pre ordered the 12 new colors.  I can't wait to play....hehehe..... anyways, I had a wonderful Christmas. Spent much needed time with my family and we had a great weeek together, baking, bowling, the movies, board games, and so much more. It is so nice to be out of school resting and catching up with life!!! I have even been stamping and scrapbooking...wahoooo...Even better, I don't go back to school till the 23rd of Jan, and then only 16 weeks until I graduate as a RN. Can you see the light??? I can...FINALLY!!!!!
   Ahhh pastels......yeap, I used pastels for this weeks challenge. Have I decided I like pastels??? NOPE, I am still not a fan, but I made my card for this weeks challenge with a special someone in mind, and that someone REALLY likes pastels, loves purples and blues, and LOVES snowmen, and that special someones Birthday is January 7th.....that special someone is Mary Castonquay....Happy Birthday Mary, I hope you love your card!  Once again, I made it with little embellishments, so I can mail it.  Are you ready to find out what the challenge is????? ok, ok.....this weeks challenge is Something Old and SOmething New. This was easy for me because I just bought the Memory Box snowglobe die and I used some old DP that I had, and there you have it, CHALLENGE CARD!

With a New Year, there are always changes, and sadly, we have lost 2 team members as of the first of the year.  Jackie Randolph and Frances Rodriquez have left the DT due to life issues and they are both going to be very much missed, and with that, leaves us 2 open spots on our DT.....Wanna join???? If you are interested, I will be opening up a DT call on Wednesday with all the details. Hope to see you there )
So, I know our last challenge was a while ago, but I have not forgotten about the last challenges TOP 3, and they are:

Jo Ham:

Tracy Payne:
