Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Something New~

Happy New Years Eve!! Wow, it's been a while since we have had a Going Greys Challenge. I hate to admit it, but it had been a while since I stamped, before making my card for today's challenge. With the Christmas season being so busy, and my kids sport schedule, I just couldn't find the time or want to stamp, but now, the Christmas tree and decorations are down and things are settling down, and I am ready to get back it.
  Today's challenge is "Something New"....well, not only do I have a new stamp to share with you, but I have some new news to share with you as well....(drum roll).....I ecstatic to announce that I have am officially a Stampotique Originals DT member.....A couple of months ago, Stampotique had a DT call, and I decided to take a chance and I applied.  Low and behold, I was asked to be a part of the team.  Honestly, I couldn't believe it when I saw the e-mail, asking me to be part of the team.Obviously I said YES, and I made this card as my first DT post!  My something new is obviously my stamp, as well as my news :)  I used Stampotiques Birdy Up image by Kira
Nichols.  I also decorated the inside of my card using Stampotique Originals Happy Bird-Day sentiment. I completely adore this birdy image!!!  So, we want to see what is new to you for this challenge!
      So, beofre I show you theis weeks DT projects, I need to show you the TOP 3 from the Holiday Challenge.....and the TOP 3 are:

While I haven't been doing a whole lot of cards lately, I do have this super cute card that I made to play in the Crafty Ribbon Challenge. which is being sponsored by Rick St. Dennis.  For my card, I used this super cute Santa image by Rick St. Dennis. Isn't it such a cute image???  Well, I am off....I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year!

Snowmen

Happy Sunday! I am happily sitting in my nice warm house relaxing today.  Last night, her in New Hampshire we received 13 inches of snow, which means a PJ kind of day for me!
   Today, I am sharing a card I made using I Brake For Stamp's Snow Family rubber stamp. I completely enjoyed making this card, it was so fun to color and it makes a great holiday card.  The great thing about this image, is how cute an simple it is, and it can actually be reproduced easily for holiday cards.  Well, I am off to snuggle on the couch. Have a great Sunday!

Sugar Plum Fairy Mouse Freebie!

I Brake For Ruldolph!

Happy Thursday! I hope you had a great week.  For me, this has been a very nice week. I only had to work on Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday, My Mom, my Aunt and I took a train to NYC for the day and did a little sight seeing, a little shopping, and some eating. We had a GREAT time. My only complaint was time....I wanted to spend more time there.  All in all we had a great day and I am already looking forward to going again next year.

                                                    It was Christmas throughout the city

                                           My Aunt and My Mom, enjoyed the day with me

 

So, let me tell you a little bit about this super cute image that I used on my card.  The image I used is Rudolph, which is a rubber stamp, and he can be found at I Brake For Stamps! This stamp is super cute and as I was making this card, I was thinking how cute he would look as a Christmas ornament, or give tags.  He is definitely a staple in my Christmas collection.  Well, I hope you liked the card, and if you would like to purchase it, please feel free to use my DT code and save 10% off your total purchase.

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Holiday!

Happy Tuesday!!! Can you believe that December is here...I can't even believe that Christmas is in 3 weeks...UGH....I am not ready. Christmas is coming faster and faster this year. I swear, I blinked my eyes and it became December.  I have only just begun my shopping, and for the first time ever, my kids have no idea what they want for Christmas.  I am pretty sure this will end up costing my big bucks in the end...They will throw some expensive electronics item at me, at the last minute, you wait and see!
   So, the image on my card, is an idea of how I looked on Black Friday...Just kidding. I slept in till 8am, and then ventured out to join the rest of the crazy people, and did a little bit of shopping.  Unfortunately, I ended up shopping for crafty stuff for myself, and not so much Christmas shopping...ooopss. So, with all this talk of the holidays, I find it fitting for this weeks Challenge to be HOLIDAY THEME!

My card this week was also created for The day 2 of the 12 days of Creepmas over at Airless Chambers blog.  I used I love my prezzies digi image from Rick St. Dennis, and created this creepy Holiday themed card...Her dress made me think pink, and I so had to go with the Bite Me sentiment to go with the presents.  I love how creepy she is. She reminds me of a "walker" on the Walking Dead.  If you get a chance, come on over and visit the Rick St. Dennis DT for the 12 Day of Creepmas.  The girls are amazingly talented!  So, whatcha waiting for, come share your Holiday projects with us :)
    We had a fabulous turn out last week for our "Make it Sparkle" challenge, and have drooling over all the awesome projects, I have come up with the following for the TOP 3, and they are:
