Going Grey Challenge #7-Use 3 embellishments

Happy Tuesday......Hopefully you all had a fabulous weekend. I can't believe that this is our 7th challenge here at Scrap-Creations. You know what they say "Time flies when you're having fun", and it really has been fun. Thank you so much for everyone who plays with us.

This weeks weeks challenge is to use 3 embellishments. Not bad right. I used 2 different flowers and some gems. Do you love my image?????? It is image from Stamp N Plus Scrap N. It is a very different image for me, but I enjoyed playing with it. This image looks a little country to me, so when I was making my card I was trying to come up with some country looking paper and in the mist of trying to do that, I completely forgot to use the basis of my challenge BASIC GREY PAPER (arghhh....). I am losing it I swear. I also combined my challenge with the following.

Critter Sketch Challenge- use 10 different items in your project. I used 4 different pieces of DP, 2 different colors of card stock, 2 different colored roses, gems, and stickles.

Friday Sketchers Challenge: I used their sketch

Guess what....This weeks challenged is a prize challenge. This weeks prize is being sponsored by Stamp N Plus Scrap N. LuAnn, the owner, has generously donated some unmounted stamps to give away to one lucky winner of the challenge this week.

So, what see what the amazing DT came up with for this weeks challenge........

Happy Birthday!! Cupcake inspired

Happy Sunday!!!! Thank you for stopping by on this fabulous Day.....It's Sunday and Sunday's = Hope Stamps Eternal Cupcake inspired challenge. What caught my eye on this weeks
Pic was the strawberry's, but honestly, my craft room is such a mess right now, it would have been impossible for me to dig around looking for some type of Strawberry themed DP (although I am sure there is something in my stash I could have used), so, I decided to go with the pink, green, and sweet. I always have all my Basic Grey neatly stashed in a plastic bin, so I knew I could find something to go with this challenge in there (hehehe). I decided to go with Basic Grey Lemonade, and I just ordered a bunch of new Greeting Farm stamps, so I used my new Lolli Anya. In case you haven't noticed, I am on A Greeting Farm kick right now (LOL). I think they are just so cute! This week I combined my challenges and used the Friday Sketchers, sketch.

So, today is the kids last day of vacation (phew), and we are off to one of Abbey's gymnastic meets for the day. I am looking forward to getting back to my "normal" schedule, although, I am anticipating a busy and nerve wracking week. Tuesday I have my interview with the nursing dept of my #1 school choice, I have my Microbiology midterm coming up next wed (going to be so hard), so I need to study...A LOT, and I also need to study for a upcoming math test for another nursing school. I am feeling nervous just typing this.....So, needless to say, I have a busy two weeks coming up. I am hoping to be able to keep up my stamping mojo :)

Well, that is all for me today. We would love it if you would join us for this weeks Hope Stamps Eternal Cupcake inspired Challenge this week. We would love to see what inspiration you would draw from this weeks cupcake pic. If you get a chance, don't forget to check out what the rest of the "VERY" talented DT came up with for this weeks challenge. Well, Ciao for now. Have a great day, and Happy Creating!

Friends Forever-Motivet style & CHA Count Down

Happy Sunday......I don't ususally post a card on Sundays, but I had a chance to get to my "happy place" last night, and whip up a card.

Sooo....4 more days until CHA California. I am getting very excited. As much as I look forward to the show, I am mostly looking forward to meeting my "online friends". I have met some amazing people on line, and I am looking forward to finally putting a face with a name.

ok, moving onto my card. Another Motivet. I just love these stamps. They are the best size to color and they are "SUPAH" cute (ladies, get ready for the VERY heavy Boston accent). I used the Friday Sketchers challenge to design my card, with this new Memory box paper, that looks more amazing in "real" life. Fro some reason, the lighter papers don't photograph as well. Hmmm...


Well, That is all for me today. I have to get ready for a fun filled Sunday at work (bummer). Well, I hope you have a wonderful day and happy creating!

Winter Princess Gift set

Happy Thursday...... Thanks for stopping by on this lovely day...


I have a SUPAH cute image to share with you. I used my new Winter Princess Lily image from today's Pink Cat Studio Release. Lily is just one of six Fanatic new images being released today. Did you notice that I used the same image on both my card and acrylic box? Yep, the joys of resizing digital images. My Lily on the box is actually 50% of the Lily on my card. Love it!



Today I was able to work three challenges into one. PCK new release, Three Clover Thursday challenge and Friday Sketchers. I used PCS winter Princess image and Incorporated it into Kerry's challenge over at Three Clovers Design, which is to make a NON card item. I think my acrylic treat box covers that, and I used Friday Sketchers challenge to make my card. Wahoooo....Love when I can do that..hehehehe......




Well, I am sorry that this post is short, but I woke up this morning with a slight fever and a bad sore throat, and my kids are sitting here nagging me to use the computer before they go to school. Have a wonderful Day, and thank you SOO much for stopping by. Your comments me so much to me. Happy Creating...

Going to CHA

Happy Monday. Did y0u have a good weekend? I have to say I had a wonderful weekend. I had date night Saturday night with my hubby, and we went to go see New Moon. Loved it. Pretty on target with the book. I would love to go see it again. After the movie, we went and did a little Christmas shopping. I don't know about you, but as my kids get older, I find it harder, and harder to shop. Now they want electronics, and video games and neither are cheap. I plan on doing a little shopping each week. I hope not to be one of those people doing last minute, but you never know.



I have BIG NEWS (well for me anyways)......I am going to CHA in Anaheim in January. I think I am still in shock, but I am thrilled. My BFF Kerry and I are are heading out for a mini vacation to CHA. We will be going for 6 days. This will be the longest I have ever been away from my family (YIKES), and of course I feel a little nervous about that, but the Flight and Hotel are booked and we are getting excited. Are you going?????? Know worries if y0u aren't I will of course bring my camera and share pics with you.

I have a Inky card to share with you today. I am not sure how I feel about the colors, but I was this DP at my local stamp store (IAI), and I thought I would give it a try. I don't tend to be a purple person. I used this weeks Friday Sketcher challenge and this is my result. What do you think? After looking at the card all finished, I wish that I didn't do the white doodling. Oh well, As a good friend says "If you want a perfect card, then go to hallmark". True, true. I also just wanted to remind you that there is still time to get you ornament card into Inky Impressions for their DT call. Come on, give it a try.

Well, that is all for today. I have a afternoon of homework today. The semester is coming to a close and I need to stay caught up :). Have a FABULOUS day and happy creating!!!!

Baked With Love

Happy Monday!!!! Did you enjoy your weekend? Do anything special? Well, as I have said before, we are in the middle of Fall here and it is beautiful out. The trees are all sorts of shades of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens, but with the beauty, comes the cool weather. This morning was so cold that we had to turn on our heat. Yikes, I am not ready for that. The problem with the "season " of fall, is that winter is always right behind, and if this winter is anything like last winter, we will be living in a frozen tundra.

Anyways, I have another Pink Cat Studios card for you today. I have to say, there isn't an image I don't love. They are the perfect size for me to color and they are all so stinkin cute. Melissa the owner is absolutely amazing. She comes up with all these ideas and draws them into images. Today I used Itty Bitty Betty baked a Pie. How cute is she. She can be used for so many occasions. How about a get well, a Thank you....what else can you can think of? I did want some quirky saying, but I came up empty. Have any ideas? I also used this weeks Friday Sketchers sketch. I was not sure how it would work out, but I think it looks fine.

Well. that is all for me today. I have a HUGE test this evening in A&P lab. 100 questions on microscope slides, heart model, nerves, arteries, and EKG's. So, I better get a last study session in. I hope you have a fabulous day and happy creating!
