Happy Birthday Little Dude!

Ahhhh.....Happy Friday. Wow, I can't believe It's Friday already. We left yesterday for Washington DC, and after our 8 hour drive and a day full of sight seeing, at crashed at 9:30pm, and that may be why I am sitting here typing this at 4:00am. I went to bed much to early for me. Anyways, D.C if fabulous. SO much more than I had anticipated. Every thing is big and beautiful. My only complaint here is the traffic and the drivers. Shoot, I thought Mass drivers were bad, these people make them look normal :)

So, before I left, I managed to get a few cards made. How cute is this image. This oh so cute tiger image is by Wags n' Wiskers Stamps. I wanted to use the "dog" Basic Grey paper, which I thought matched fabulously. I also decided to jump in and play in their challenge this week, which is stitching. I stitched around my edges. I added the "Happy Birthday Little Dude" sentiment from Amuse. I thought this card would make a great little boy b-day card. Whatcha think?

Well, I better consider getting back to bed and trying to fall asleep, as we have another jam packed day of sight seeing before we head to Ocean City MD tomorrow! Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by. I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Christmas in July!

Happy Tuesday!!!! I do love Tuesday. Wanna know why??? Because Tuesday's = Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. We had a fantastic turn out last week. I hope you all are enjoying the challenges as much as I am.

For my card today, I used a stamp that has been seriously neglected. I bought this Amuse stamp years ago, and never used it. But when I was looking for X-mas stamps, I knew I wanted to use this one. If I decide to make mass Christmas cards this year, I may make this card! What do you think?

But before we start with this week, let me tell you about last weeks Top 3. It is always so hard to pick just 3. Without further a do. The top 3 cards for last week are:

Critter Sketch Challenge: Robyn's Fetish

Happy Monday. I hope you had a fantastic weekend. We had a rather busy weekend with birthday parties and such, but it was good. I did spend a lot of time making cards. I am leaving for vacation this week and I was trying to get caught up for future challenges........

My card today was designed for today's Critter Sketch Challenge. This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish digital stamps.... The image I used on my card is called Peter Da Puppy! This was the perfect image for me to break out my new BG paper pad! Speaking of BG, have you seen the new sneak peeks of the new BG paper being released at summer CHA? It looks fabulous. I sure do wish I was a summer CHA........

Anyway, We would love to have you join us in this weeks sketch challenge created by our very own Lisa Somerville. Need a little inspiration? Take a peek at the amazing DT, and don't be afraid to leave them a little love!

A Karate Thank You!

Happy Saturday!!! I hope are enjoying your weekend thus far! Just a quick post today. I am heading on vacation next week and I am trying to get some cards made for challenges while I am away.
I made this card last week for my son's Karate teacher Ms. Simoneou. She is a amazing teacher. SHe is twenty years old, working full time, going to school full time and yet she always puts in 100% when teaching the classes, so I wanted to make sure that she knew how much we appreciated all she did, and along with the card, I included a Farmville GC...(hahaha)....

Well, like I said, a quick post. I am off to get inky..Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend. Happy Creating!

Halloween is Hoppin at Tiddly Ink

Hey there, thanks for stopping by on this glorious day! I hope you are enjoying your summer days. I don't know about you, but we have had some seriously crazy weather here in New England. TORNADO WARNINGS......what...we don't get tornadoes. Seriously, the news came on with breaking news about getting in your basement and everything. It was crazy. Thankfully where I live (Nashua, NH), we didn't see any of that, and actually it has been the opposite where I live. We haven't seen rain in days. There has been thunder storms in the local areas, but I haven't seen anything, including rain in SOO long. What's the weather been where you are? Maybe I should have gone to school to be a meteorologist, as I find it fascinating....

I have gone GOTH......ok, not really.....Today is Tiddly Inks Halloween Blog Hop, and with Halloween being one of my favorites, I just had to play along. For my card, I used Gothic Pinky from Tiddly inks, and I am also submitting this card into their weekly challenge, which is a sketch. I have to admit that I am just loving these images. I feel like they were made for me. They go from "so cutesy to goth", and I like to play with both.....so don't be surprised if you see lots more of these images on my blog :)

So, what do you think of Goth girl? I wasn't so sure on how to color her hair. Black hair is the hardest for me do to. I also had a hard time choosing embellishments. Do you give a GOTH girl flowers? Well, I did, but I used black and gray with some screw brads for a little metal feel. I'm not so sure it works, but it's going to have to.

Well, I am off to take my daughter to camp. I hope you are having a great day, and happy creating!

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge

Happy Tuesday.....Do you know what Tuesdays mean here at Scrap-Creations? Tuesday = our Going Grey with Scrap-creations challenge. This week we are SOOOO excited to have a fantastic sponsor, who has super cute images.......Digital Delights with Louby Loo. Wendy, the owner has so generously offered a $10.00 GC for the winner of this weeks challenge. What is the challenge you ask.....This weeks challenge is to use at least 3 embellishments, and of course Basic Grey paper. Geesh, I think I do that on every card LOL! SO have fun with it.

For my card today, I use Honey Pot Larry from Digital Delights, and I found him so fun to color and so easy to use. For my embellishments, I used Brads, Ribbon, gems, and stickles. I think I am covered. Wait till you see how amazing the DTs cards are.....

.......But, before I show you the DT's amazing cards this week, I want to show you last weeks Top 3, and the winner of the Whimsey GC.
