Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Merry Christmas!

Happy Tuesday! and happy it is...I finished my first first semester of nursing school, and finished it with pretty good grades :) I finished last Thursday, and I have been enjoying every minute of my freedom! I would like to tell you that I have been relaxing, but it has been far from it. I have been catching up on my cleaning, and I have been wrapping, and finishing up on my holiday shopping. I am hoping to be done shopping tomorrow and almost done wrapping by Thursday and the I shall get my fingers inky again!

So this week on Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we are having a holiday break.....with Christmas on Saturday we are catching up on last minute errands and enjoying our families, and we are hoping you all can do the same. So instead of crafting this week, I have been baking. I don't know about you, but we have so many teacher gifts to buy, and when I sat down to plan, I decided instead of spending a ton of money, I would bake gifts this year, and after seeing my good friend Kim Howard's cake balls, I decided to go with them. They are super fun to make, they look fabulous, and they are yummy too! If you are not familar with cake balls, you can check them out here at bakerella.

So, in the spirit of giving, I am offering up some goodies this week. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post with your favorite thing to bake or cook on the holidays. The goodies will be a surprise package, but well worth it. I will announce the winner on next Tuesdays post!

Ahhh....and now onto last weeks amazing TOP 3 and winner of Character Cafe's $10.00 GC!

Going Grey with scrap-creations challenge: Anything goes

Happy Tuesday !!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. My family and I spent the day with my parents and my aunt and uncle (who we don't get to see often), and had a Fantastic family day together. That is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. So, did you venture out for BLACK FRIDAY? Not me, I was snug as a bug in a rug, and I loved it.

Well, I managed to take 1 hr for myself and made a card for this weeks challenge. I have been bogged down with school ,work and family comittments, and crafty time is so hard to come by,b but I was needing to get inky!

Going Grey with Scrap-creations Challenge: Blue for You!

Happy Tuesday!!!!! I can't believe another week has gone by. Where does the time go? I would like to tell you how cute my image is, or how much I loved to color my card, but I have nothing :(, nothing but a stack of books I have been studying. I had a exam on Monday, and two on Tuesday, and last week I had a exam on top of a ton of school projects. This nursing school business is not working out with my crafty time. Actually, it doesn't allow me anytime. My picture, is only showing you the books I needed to study for Tuesdays test. Some times, I don't know how I manage. Actually I think I question myself everyday. It is all so much. I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end. Any nurses out there............Please tell me it will be!!!! :)



Tuesdays = Going Grey with scrap-Creations challenge, and this Weeks challenge is Blue for you. Make a card or project that is Blue & white/or Silver. I promise to have a blue card after these test are over.

As always, we had a fabulous turnout last week, and you all made gorgeous cards and projects inspired by a song. I swear, it is always so hard to pick Top 3. You all are so talented. Last weeks Top 3 are:
