Going Grey with Scrap-Creations: Ribbons & Pearls

Happy Tuesday....and yes,it is a very happy day! Why you ask is this Tuesday any different than any other Tuesday???? I'm on my very last spring break! I can't believe it, I am going to be graduating from nursing school in 8 weeks!  Honestly, 6 years ago when I first started taking classes part-time, it seemed as though I would never make it to nursing school, and then 2 years ago, when I started the nursing program, I couldn't invison the end, but today........I SEE THE LIGHT!!!!  I will finally be graduating from college and going to add two new letters to my name: Kristen Catalano R.N.  I really like how that looks :)  Now you see why it's a great day in my world?
  Not sure how the weather is where you are, but this week here in New Hampshire, it hit 70 degrees.....and I LOVE it, and because I am a complete beach bum, and haven't been in 6 months, I grabbed my Mom and we headed to Maine to the beach.  It was gorgeous, 63 degrees, no wind, and sunny. Before I left in the morning, the kids asked me if I was going to go swimming....UMMM NOOO, the water is freezing in the summer, never mind in March, but when I got there and took of my shoes, I couldn't help but put my feet in the water, and guess what....IT WAS FREEZING, a whopping 38 degrees......., but it was so nice to go to the beach and dig my toes in the sand.  In case I haven't told you, the beach is my favorite place on earth!

Here is a pic of my Mom getting her feet wet for the first time this year, and as you can see, she is saying yowzers!!!!  The water was really cold, but we had a great day!
Are you ready to find out about this weeks challenge?  This weeks we want to see your projects using ribbons and pearls.  I decided to go with a Easter card, using a image from Stamps of Life.  I went with clean and simple and this sweet easter bunny card will be heading to my super sweet Niece Rowan! WHo will you be sending your card to?
After checking out all the amazing entrys from last week, I narrowed it down to these TOP 3 St, Paddys day projects:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: St. Paddy's Day

Happy Tuesday. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Did you get to do something fun?  As you know, I was ill last week and had no time to make a card, but good news, I am feeling better and I am happy that I got to get inky...LOL
   This week, we have a super fun challenge for you, and it was definately a challenge for me!!!  This week we want to see your St. Paddys day cards.  I shocked myself, cause I didn't have an image for this weeks challenge, but just as I was about to go on the hunt online, Mabelle RO at Whimsy and Star Studios posted this image as a FREEBIE!!!  I had purchased the paper at Ink About It in westford Ma *(which is my LSS) knowing that I had this challenge coming up. I also had purchased some embellishments for this card, but do you think I could fin them, NO, because my room is a pit hole mess!!! I have had no time to get down there and clean it.  So, knowing I am going to mail this card to my sweet niece Rowan, I left it with just a few bling!

   Before I announce the TOP 3 from last weeks challenge, I just wanted to invite you all to apply to our DT CALL!!! I encourage you all to apply, we are looking for around 4 people to join our team.

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Critter

Happy Tuesday all.....I am hoping you are all out there somewhere, as Google has done something with my blog, and now all my followers are gone.=, along with the whole left side of my blog.  So, please bare with me, as I try to figure out what I need to do.  ANY SUGGESTIONS????   I hate when stuff like this goes on. I am so not computer savy and this is going to cause me so much time....atghhhhhh

Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful week and weekend.  My weekend was pretty casual, but this week is proving to be very busy. Between family and school, I am booked completely.  Sunday I will have a free day, and hoping to be able to stamp a little.
So, once again we have a super fun challenge for you this week.  Seeing we are approaching spring, we want to see your CRITTER cards and projects.  I decided to go with a love bunny, because I don't have to many critters, but I think he came out ok. I left the saying off the card with hopes of using it for pretty much any occassion that arises.

We had somewicked cute cards for last weks 3 layer challenge, and the TOP 3 are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: 3 Layers

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!! Although hubby and I don't celebrate Valentines Day (pretty much a hallmark holiday), we do have fun doing things with the kids.  This year Ryan's (my son) class is having a Valentines box decorating contest, and because I went all out when my daughter had hers, I decided I would do the same for him.  The only problem, he is a boy and every idea I came up with was "pretty and pink", so I when I really thought about what Ryan likes, or should I say LOVES, I immediately thought HOCKEY....Boston Bruins.  Yeap, I created a hockey rink Valentines box, not supah Valentines day "ish", but supah cute and he loves it:

I used a postal box for the base,  recycled  foam on top of that, and then created the "ice" rink with card stock, printed out the "B"'s logo, and the drew the lines. I used the computer of the bruins players and printed and cut them out. They are standing with Popsicle sticks, and then the outer rink is made with Popsicle sticks, card stock, and transparency's.  The bottom has a cut out that says "penalty box" and that is where the valentines goes. I know, I completely went overboard, but Ryan loves it and that is al that matters.I also created these for both the kids classes. Super easy, just a little time consuming.  Good thing I had

two little helpers :) 
   So, the entries for last weeks "valentines Day" challenge were fantastic.  I just love how creative you all are....You seriously impress me every week!  As always, I hate picking the TOP 3 because it is just so hard, but a girl has got to do what a girl has to do.  So without further A du, last weeks TOP 3 are:
