Keep Calm and Journal It out!

Happy Hump Day!!! Here we are at Wednesday already. This week is going by quickly, which makes me happy.  I am ready for the weekend already :)
So it's Wednesday and and Wednesdays on my blog mean Stampotique Designers challenge. Sadly, this is my last week playing with the Stampotique Design team.  My month is over and I have had a great time playing with such talented ladies. Every week they make drool over there creations.  
       This weeks challenge is "Do what you Love".  I love to journal, and not only did  I make a journal page, but I made a journal page about journaling....hehehehe.  This is a pretty basic page, but I completely love the supergirl
image from Stampotique. She is perfect for so many different projects.  I colored her with copics, and then cut her out to add to my page.  I used Dylusion ink spays, and Dylusions border stamps. My saying is computer generated.  I hope you enjoyed my journal page and if you are looking for some amazing inspiration, you should head on over to the Stampotiques Designers Challenge, and come an play with us.....
Well, that is all I have today. I hope you have a wonderful day and week. Happy Creating :)

The Walking Dead!!!

Happy Wednesday!  Here we are in the middle of the week and Friday is only 2 days away...yeah!!!!  Today is Wednesday and Wednesdays, for the month of January, on my blog,  are Stampotique challenge days.  This weeks challenge is to spread the LOVE.....I may have taken this "Love" challenge to the dark side.  My husband and I have a huge love for the show "The walking Dead"....We are die hard fans and completely love, love, love the show.  Well, one night I was in my basement drawing and I started drawing these Zombie letters, which I drew freehand, and while I was drawing these, I was envisioning a journal page, but all said and done, I decided I was going to turn my zombie theme onto a canvas.....Yeap, that's right, I completely my very first canvas piece....So super fun to make and I will be definnately making more of these.

So, I know not Love in your "typical" sense, but I am not typical and neither is this canvas...LOL...but I sure do hope you enjoy my canvas......

Life isn't about waiting......

Happy Hump Day...we are half way through the week.  I am really looking forward to the weekend. Why you ask, well, It isn't jam packed with plans. The kids have 2 sporting events, but beside that we are free....it isn't often that we as a family have weekends like this, I cherish them when we do....
   Today is Wednesday and Wednesdays for the month of January = Stampotique challenge day!!!  The challenge this week is to use your  New Years resolution as your inspiration!  One of my New Years resolution is to let more things go and spend more time enjoying myself.  I admittedly am a worrier and I hope that this year, I can put my worries behind me and do more dancing in the rain.  This is a very simple journal page, but I kind of like the way it turned out.   Did you see my rainy day in the corner....How cute is he.  He is a rubber stamp from Stamotique originals......He has friends that look just like him too.....You can check them out here.
   Well, I hope you will join us over at STampotique and play with us.  Hope you have a great Wednesday and I will be back soon.  Have a great day!

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Snowmen

Happy Tuesday Evening....So sorry that I am posting late this week.  As I mentioned in my last post, my Son had the flu, and then by the weekend, it had hit me and I was in bed most of the weekend.  While, I love to sleep, I do not enjoy sleeping when I have no other options....I was exhausted and had absolutely no energy. Needless to say, I fell behind in all I needed to get done and that included blogging. By the time Monday night rolled around, I was just to tired to get it done....I know you don't mind (wink).
   Here we are in the middle of winter and we are going to celebrate that with a winter challenge....This week we want to see your SNOWMAN cards.....for this challenge, I used The Large Snowman Post from I Brake For Stamps.  I really wish the pic came out better, as the stamp is so detailed and the pic doesn't catch it that well...Not only does the stamp make a great winter card, but a fabulous Christmas card as well...Love it!
    The entries for the last "Something New" challenge were FABULOUS!!!! You all are so talented.  It is always so hard to pick the TOP 3, but after drooling over all your creations, the TOP 3 are:

Tracy: Love the simple design. Gorgeous coloring

Suzette: Image is perfect for your paper and elements

Zora: Stunning...Love the flow of your design

Fabulous cards ladies Please feel free to grab the I made TOP 3 banner on the right of my blog!

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations challenge

Running Behind

 

Good Morning....Just a quick note this morning.  I am running behind with the Going Grey With Scrap-Creations challenge post this morning, so I will be sure to have it posted this evening.  Sorry for the inconvenience.......

Will You Be My Valentine?

Happy Friday!!!! I hope you are having a FABULOUS week.  I am feeling like this has been the longest week EVER!!! I have recently taken a new job and have been doing orientation all week and man is it boring.....I can't wait to get trained and start my new position....I have also decided that I am never going to be the kind of nurse I want to be without furthering my education and obtaining my bachelors degree, so I have decided to sign up for some classes and start towards that degree...Yeap, I thought my hubby was going to have a heart attack when I told him that I signed up for school again.  I can't say that he was thrilled, but he is supportive and that is what is  important.  On top of those two things happening this week, I came home today to find my son sick...He had been coughing for a couple of weeks, but nothing serious, but when I saw him today, I knew he was sick.  When we got to the pediatricians office, he registered with 103.4 temp...boor baby, he has the FLU!!!!  The poor kid is so sick. I hate when the kids get sick. I feel so bad and just want them to feel better. Hopefully

with the Tamiflu in him, he will be on the mend soon.  So, like I said, it has been a REALLY long week....Come 5pm....
     So, here we are heading towards mid January and Feb 14th isn't that far away, and while my hubby and I don't really celebrate Valentines Day, I do enjoy the Holiday and the decorations and things it brings. We always get the kids a little something on Valentines and I love to make cards and valentines with the kids.  So, this weekend I made this card using my "Heart Cammy" stamp from I Brake For Stamps.  Isn't she the sweetest image?  She is just adorable and she has three other stamps similar to her....SOOOO Cute!!!! I really am a sucker for little girl images.....and don't forget, if you decide you "Have" to have this stamp and would like a discount, feel free to use the following discount code:SAVE10KRISTEN for a 10% discount on your whole purchase....
   Well, that is all I have for you today...Like I said, it has been a week and an exhausting week.  While my family and I have booked weekend, I am planning on getting some stamping in even if I have to lock myself in the basement, and actually, seeing that my son has the flu, we maybe putting some of those plans off, so stamping I will do.....So, have a great weekend and happy Creating!
