How are you? I am having a busy week at work but luckily I had a nice relaxing weekend. I was really lazy except for making some cards which was fun!! It is hard to believe it is February here. We have had almost no snow and the temperatures are warmer than usual. I hope this isn't the calm before the storm and we get all our winter snow in a week. <br /><br />Today's challenge at <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></b></span> </a>is <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Valentines Day</span></b></span>! It is right around the corner and time to think about making a card for anyone in your life that you want to say I love you. I chose this image from <a href="http://mosdigitalpencil.com/">Mo Manning</a> to make my card. It is fun, cute and reminds me of when we were young and had our first crush. <br /><br />So get out those Valentines images and join the fun!! <br /><br /><br />The other wonderful challenges my card fits are:<br /><div style="color: blue;"><br /></div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/">Divas by Design </a>- Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/">Little Red Wagon </a>- Valentine/Love</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/">Paper Pretties</a> -

Hope everyone is having a good week. I had a nice relaxing weekend because this week is always a busy one for me at work. I got some crafting and cleaning done. I also found some time for a little online shopping. <br /><br /><br />As anyone knows who follows me, I am not a primary color person. I like the pastel Blue's, Pink's and Purples so this weeks challenge over at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b></span>was fun for me.

We want you to use <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Red</span></b>,<b> <span style="color: magenta;">Pink</span></b> & </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Black</span> </b>on your card.

Hope everyone is well. We had 2 day's with snow this past week. Friday we had a couple inches and Saturday we had a bigger storm. There wasn't alot of snow (~5 inches) but there were accidents everywhere on the roads. Unfortunately this was the day a bunch of friends were getting together to stamp. I was packed, had put my stuff in the car and then I sat watching the snow. We finally decided to postpone. It was disappointing but I don't like driving in the snow and I know I would be worried about getting in an accident so it was for the best. <br /><br />Today is Tuesday so that means another great challenge at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></b></span>. Today we have a sketch. I don't know about you but I am always looking for new layouts. I had to modify this a little because I couldn't make a triangle but I think (hope) I stayed true to the sketch.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oXo1huRwCHE/TxrTtV61VyI/AAAAAAAABAw/fv7ytjlOOMo/s1600/GGWSC1%252Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oXo1huRwCHE/TxrTtV61VyI/AAAAAAAABAw/fv7ytjlOOMo/s200/GGWSC1%252Bcopy.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><div style="color: blue;"><br /></div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.whimsical-designs.com/">Whimsical Wednesday -</a> Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://whimsyinspires.blogspot.com/">Whimsy Inspiration -</a> Blue and Brown</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://craftypurplefrogchallenges.blogspot.com/">Crafty Purple Frog</a> - Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://digidoodleshopsbest.blogspot.com/">Digi Doodle Shops Best</a> - Blues and Browns</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com/">Paper Play - </a>Ribbon every which way</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://pixieduststudiopixiechallenge.blogspot.com/">Pixie Dust </a>- We're going dotty</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://shellysimagesblog.blogspot.com/">Shelly's Images</a> - Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://cardmakinmamas.blogspot.com/">Card Makin' Mama's</a> - Something Old</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://hotshotcraft.blogspot.com/">Hotshot Crafts </a>- Flowers</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://thepoodlesparlour.blogspot.com/">Poodles Parlour</a> - Valentine / Love</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com/">Simply Create Too</a> - Love is in the Air</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://stampingwithdragon.blogspot.com/">Stampin with the Dragon </a>- Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://wagsnwhiskersrubberstamps.blogspot.com/">Wags 'n Whiskers</a> - Valentine / Love</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://drunkenstampers.wordpress.com/">Drunken Stampers</a> - Love</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://letsinkitup.blogspot.com/">Let's Ink It Up</a> - Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Stamptacular Sunday</a> - Seeing Spots</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/">The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan</a> - Punches/Dies</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/">Cupcake Craft - </a>All you need is Love</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://karensdoodleschallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Karens Doodles</a> - Paper Piecing</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/">Paper Pretties </a>- Create Valentine Project</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://scrappersdelightspapercrafts.blogspot.com/">Scrappers Delight</a> - Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://trulymadlycraftychallenges.blogspot.com/">Truly Madly Crafty Challenge -</a> Anything Goes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.vostamps.blogspot.com/">Victorine Originals</a> - Anything Goes<br /><a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/">Die Cutting Diva's</a> - Button's, Bows and/or Bling <br /><a href="http://ladybugscraftsinkchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Lady Bug Crafts</a> - Bows<br /><a href="http://paperandsuchonline.blogspot.com/">Paper and Such Design</a> - Non Traditional Colors<br /><br /></div><br /><span style="color: blue;"> <span style="color: black;">Thank you for visiting and looking at my card.

How is your week going? Mine is really fun. Saturday I spend shopping with <a href="http://mytruebluecreations.blogspot.com/">Mary</a>, <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/">Kristen</a>, Pia and <a href="http://shellsq.blogspot.com/">Michelle</a>. Next to coloring and making cards, what could be more fun than shopping!! I keep saying I am not going to buy more paper but I came home with 3 packs of 6 x 6 and some 12 x 12. I couldn't help it. They are so pretty. Of course, I can't seem to shop without buying a new die and misc embellishments. You will see some of my new purchases in the coming weeks!!<br /><br />Today we have a challenge theme at<a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></b></span></a> that was so easy for me!! We want you to make a card with <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Die Cuts! </span></b></span> I really don't know what we did without them! I decided to use the card I made for my sister Mary's Birthday last week. I used my memory box and spellbinder dies for her card. The flowers I cut out and popped up to give it more dimension.<br /><br />The other wonderful challenges my card fits are:<br /><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/">Diva's by Design </a>- New Beginnings or Thanks</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.com/">Crafty Creations </a>- Something new (my memory box die cut)</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://freshbreweddesigns.blogspot.com/">Freshly Brewed </a>- Something new (my memory box die cut)</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/">Gingersnap </a>- Ribbon</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://whimsyinspires.blogspot.com/">Whimsey Inspiration</a> -

I hope everyone had a fun Christmas and New Year. My week was very busy so I didn't get everything done that I had hoped to but it was nice to have time off from work to spend with family. I have another week off in January and hope to get more stamping done on that vacation. <br /><br /><br />Now that the Holiday's are behind us we are back to the weekly challenges with <b style="color: red;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></span></b><span style="color: red;"> . <span style="color: black;">I am glad to get started again. </span> <span style="color: black;">To start off the new year </span></span>we have a fun and easy challenge. The theme is Something Old and Something New. We all have that stash that we say we are going to use and we all have those new stamps/paper/die cuts that we had to have or got for Christmas. We are asking that you use both on your project. Most of my card is old but I used one of my new stamps from Saturated Canary. These are so much fun to color.<br /><br />Also we are going to be looking for 2 new DT's at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. Do you want to join the fun? We have a great group of people and it is a pleasure to be part of this challenge every week. Kristen will be posting the requirements tomorrow so if you want to join us please watch for her announcement. <br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://cookingitupwithkatie.blogspot.com/">Cooking it up with Katie</a> -

Can you believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away?? It seems to creep up faster and faster every year. I only have a couple small gifts left to get. I have friends coming over Thursday and my family Christmas Eve so I will be busy getting ready for those things. I love Christmas but hate the rushing around. This weekend I actually went to the Mall. The roads were jammed and the parking lot full. Luckily for me the stores I bought things in were not crowded so I was in and out of them pretty fast.<br /><br />This is the last challenge until January for<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></span>. The theme this week is First Snow. We have already had that here in the Northeast US but normally we would be seeing it about now. Thank you to everyone who joined us in the fun. We hope to see all of you back next year.<br /><br />I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Holiday.<br /><br />The challenges my card fits are:<br /><b><a href="http://bearlymine.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Bearly Mine</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>- Untraditional Christmas <br /><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://craftsandmechallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Crafts and Me</span></b> </a>- Snow/Snowflakes</div><div style="color: blue;"><a href="http://craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Crafty Creations</span></b></a> -

Can you believe Christmas is less than 3 weeks away!! Do you have your Christmas shopping done? I don't. I have most of my decorating done which is nice. My nephew is stopping by today to help me put my tree up and hopefully I will find some time to decorate it this week. It is going to be a crazy few weeks. I have some vacation after Christmas which I am looking forward to.<br /><br />This week we have a fun challenge at<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> <b><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a><span style="color: red;">.</span></b></span> We are asking that you make a card or project with a present on it!!!

It was so nice to have 4 days off but they went by in a blur. I spent Thanksgiving with family, Friday, 2 sisters and my niece spent the day at another craft fair, and Saturday and Sunday I spent putting out my Christmas decorations. I still can't believe that it is that time again!<br /><br />Speaking of Christmas this week the challenge at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></b></span> is to make a <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Christmas Card!!</span></span> How easy is that!!!

How is everyone doing? I am busy. I am really busy at work (which is good), I am trying to get Xmas shopping done so I am not out at the last minute, at this time of year there are crafts fairs every weekend which I really can't miss and I still don't have my xmas cards done!<br /><br />It is Tuesday so that means another wonderful challenge at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations!</a></b></span> This week we want you to make a <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Thanksgiving</span></b></span> card. I don't have alot of Thanksgiving images and I really wasn't in the mood to color a Turkey so I found this great image at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SaturatedCanaryDigis?ref=si_shop" style="color: blue;">Saturated Canary Designs</a>. Isn't she adorable? Once the card was done I tried to add Happy Thanksgiving but unless I made it so small you couldn't read it I just couldn't seem to fit it on the card so I chose one of my favorite sentiment stamps that I believe says the same thing. In Everything Give Thanks is what Thanksgiving is about. <br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><br /><b><a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Diva's by Design</a></b> - Metal (my pins)<br /><b><a href="http://freshbreweddesigns.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Freshly Brewed</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b>- Food<br /><b><a href="http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Penny's Paper Crafty</a></b> - Give Thanks<br /><b><a href="http://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Sisterhood of Crafters </a></b>- Giving Thanks<br /><b><a href="http://stampwithsarahkay.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Stampavie and More </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><a href="http://trulyscrumptiouschallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: orange;">Truly Scrumptious</span></b> </a>- Bingo (Gems, Flowers, Punch/Die Cuts)<br /><b><a href="http://www.whimsicalwednesdays.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Whimsical Wednesday</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b>- Thanksgiving<br /><b><a href="http://whimsyinspires.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Whimsy Inspiration</a></b> - 1 Ribbon, 2 DP, 3 Embellishments<br /><b><a href="http://audsentimentschallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Aud Sentiments</a></b> - Thank you or Thanksgiving<br /><a href="http://www.trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com//"><b><span style="color: lime;">C.R.A.F.T.</span></b> </a>- Cute<br /><b><a href="http://saturatedcanarychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Saturated Canary</a></b> - Photo Inspiration/Fall Colors.<br /><b><a href="http://cardmakinmamas.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Card Makin Mama's</a></b> - Thankful<br /><b><a href="http://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Crafty Catz </a></b>- Use a Digital Image<br /><b><a href="http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Patties Creations </a></b>- Birthday or Thanksgiving<br /><b><a href="http://www.phindysplacechallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Phindy's Place</a></b> - Thankful<br /><b><a href="http://stampingwithdragon.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Stamping with the Dragon </a></b>- Use Food<br /><b><a href="http://craftyourdaysaway.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Craft your Days Away </a></b>- Bingo (Pins, Flowers, Gems)<br /><b><a href="http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">2 Sisters </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><a href="http://ceschallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Crafty Emma</span></b> </a>- Roses & Ribbons<br /><b><a href="http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Marks Finest Paper</a></b> - Your Favorite Technique (Coloring)<br /><b><a href="http://myshericrafts.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">My Sheri Crafts </a></b>- Be Thankful<br /><b><a href="http://ssdschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Stamp Scrap & Doodle</a></b> - Thank you (Thanksgiving)<br /><b><a href="http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Corrosive Challenge</a></b> - Give Thanks<br /><b><a href="http://sentimentalsundays.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Sentimental Sundays </a></b>- Thanksgiving/Thank you<br /><b><a href="http://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Sparkles Forum</a></b> - Autumn<br /><b><a href="http://daisydoodlescreativechallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge</a></b> - Anything Goes with Digi<br /><b><a href="http://hookedoncraftchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Hooked on Crafts </a></b>- Punches and/or Dies<br /><b><a href="http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Ooh La La </a><span style="color: magenta;">-</span></b> Bingo (Gems, Die Cuts, Flowers)<br /><a href="http://www.vostamps.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Victorine Originals</span></b> </a>- Thanksgiving/Thank You<br /><b><a href="http://celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Celebrate the Occasion </a></b>- Thanksgiving (must use a punch) <br /><a href="http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">Creative Card Crew</span></b> </a> -Thankful<br /><b><a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Party Time Tuesday</a></b> - Sketch and / or Thank You, Giving Thanks or Be Thankful<br /><br /><br />Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Unlike last weekend mine was uneventful which was really nice. Saturday, 2 of my sisters, my niece and I went into Boston to attend the Craft Festival they have every year. We had alot of fun and I got some Xmas shopping done which is great.<br />Sunday, the town I live in had Halloween which was canceled due to the storm. <br /><br />This week we have a really easy challenge over at<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></b></span>. This week we want you to make a project having the Sentiment as the main focus. This gave me a great chance to use alot of my dies. I used the snowflake border die from Memory box, the individual snowflakes from My Favorite Things and the corner sizzix die I have been eyeing and finally got on clearance at Michaels. I was in the mood to use glitter as you can tell. Get out those sentiment stamps you have and play along!!!<br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><b><a href="http://craftingforallseasons.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Crafting for All Seasons </a></b>- Texture<br /><b><a href="http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Paper Shelter Challenge</a></b> - Christmas Fun<br /><b><a href="http://www.thepixiecottage.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Pixie Cottage </a></b>- Sketch and /or Christmas Card<br /><b><a href="http://www.scrapbooksisters.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Scrapbook Sisters</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://stampwithsarahkay.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Stampavie and More</a><span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://foryourinspirationchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">For Your Inspiration</a></b> - Inspiration (Gold/white) <br /><b><a href="http://craftyribbonschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Crafty Ribbons</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b>- Bingo (Handmade embell., Ribbon, Gems) <br /><b><a href="http://www.4craftychicks.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">4 Crafty Chicks</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>- Die Cuts<br /><b><a href="http://craftypurplefrogchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Crafty Purple Frog</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Sparkle<br /><b><a href="http://crimbo-crackers.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Crimbo Crackers</a></b> - Anything Goes<br /><a href="http://delightfulsketches.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: orange;">Delightful Challenges</span></b> </a>- A Very Sparkly Christmas<br /><b><a href="http://digidoodleshopsbest.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Digi Doodle Shop's Best </a></b>- Winter<br /><b><a href="http://shellysimagesblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Shelly's Images </a></b>- Monochromatic Plus Ribbon<br /><b><a href="http://www.southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Southern Girls </a><span style="color: magenta;">-</span></b> Inspired by a Song - (White Christmas)<br /><b><a href="http://cardmakinmamas.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Card Makin Mama's</a></b> - Die Cuts<br /><b><a href="http://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Crafty Catz</a><span style="color: lime;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://floweretstamplar.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Floweret</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b>- Christmas<br /><b><a href="http://mamidoodles.blogspot.com/search/label/challenge" style="color: red;">Mami Doodles </a></b>- Christmas<br /><b><a href="http://christmasblogchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Winter Wonderland </a></b>- Make your card Sparkle<br /><b><a href="http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">2 Sisters</a></b> - Ribbon<br /><a href="http://pinkgemchallengeblog.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: orange;">A Gem of a Challenge </span></b>-</a> Cold & Frosty<br /><b><a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/search/label/challenge" style="color: blue;">Catch the Bug </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas </a></b>- Bright colors &/or Sparkle<br /><b><a href="http://disdigidesignschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Di's Digi Designs</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Ribbons & Bows<br /><a href="http://ellephantasticchallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Ellephantastic</span></b> </a>- Weather Related<br /><b><a href="http://littleclairesdesigns.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Little Claire's </a></b>- Christmas<br /><a href="http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: blue;">Marks Finest Papers</span></b> </a>- Fall or Winter Theme<br /><a href="http://natalduranteoanotodo.blogspot.com/"><b style="color: red;">Christmas Inspirations </b>-</a> Bows<br /><b><a href="http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Corrosive Challenges </a></b>- With a Flourish<br /><b><a href="http://dreamvalleychallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Dream Valley Challenges </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">I Did It Creations</a></b> - Christmas/Winter<br /><b><a href="http://ribbongirls.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">The Ribbon Girls</a></b> - Jingle all the way to Christmas<br /><a href="http://heartsonginspirations.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">Heart Song Inspirations</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://stampsfun-creativity.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Stamps & Fun=Creativity </a></b>- Winter<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!

For me it is a very Great morning! We had a snow storm here in the Northeast US last Saturday. All in all it would not be something to write about but since it is still Autumn here the leaves had not fallen off the trees so with the added weight of the snow it was a disaster. Tree's fell and Branches cracked off. This caused a major electrical issue and I, unfortunately, was one of the people who suffered. I lost my electricity Saturday around 7:00 PM and didn't get it back until last night about 5:30 PM. Not only was it cold (Wed AM I woke up and it was 28 degrees) I had to throw out all the food in my fridge, didn't have hot water for showers, and since I work from home I spent all week bringing my computer and cell phone to relatives homes, local wifi spots (most of which were closed due to also not having power). Since there were so many people suffering as I was everyplace (including the relatives) was mobbed and crazy. It was so nice to watch TV last night, not having to sleep with many blankets and in warm clothes, have a nice hot shower and have coffee waiting for me. The company I work for is happy to have me back putting more time in working than running around trying to find someplace to log in. All in all a wonderful morning!!!!!<br /><br />Since any internet time I could find had to be spent working I was not able to post my card for this weeks challenge at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></b></span>.

I hope you had a great weekend. I got together with some stamping friends and had a blast. We spent the day making cards, eating and laughing. It was a great escape!! <br /><br />I don't know about you but I love digi stamps and paper. They are easy to use, don't take up space in my craft room and are convenient. This made this weeks challenge over at <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></span><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>so much fun for me. All you need to do is make something using a digi stamp and digi paper. I used a stamp from Make it Crafty and the paper is from Barely Mine.<br /><br />Kristen is also giving away a prize. All you need to do is leave a comment on Going Grey with Scrap-Creations with your 3 favorite digi companies, #1 being your favorite. The following week she will pick a winner and they will win a $10.00 GC to that company!! How cool is that!! Get out those Digi's and join the fun! You could win!!<br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b><a href="http://craftingforallseasons.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Crafting for all Seasons </a></b>- Halloween<br /><b><a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Divas by Design</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Something Spooky<br /><b><a href="http://www.ibrakeforchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">I Brake for Challenges</a></b> -

I would say Happy Autumn but it is really muggy here in the Northeast. I thought we had gotten rid of this weather but it is back. The end of the week it will be gone and I can't wait. Just because it doesn't feel like Autumn doesn't mean I am not in the mood for Autumn cards. I love my new Tim Holtz die with leaves, branches and acorns. I am having so much fun with it. I want to use it on every card.<br /><br />Today is Tuesday so that means we have another great challenge over at<a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></b></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">. </span></b></span> This week's theme is Let's hear it for the girls.

I am late posting my challenge card this week because I was away. My sister and I just got back from 4 days at a wonderful spa. I love being pampered and this place is really good at it. Every room has a view of the ocean, the food is wonderful and, of course, the spa is excellent. Now I am back to reality but I still have a couple days off before going back to work.<br /><br />This week our challenge at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b></span>is to make a card with a unique fold. I decided to try something I have never done before. This is a Center Step card. It was a lot easier to make than I thought it would be. We also have a great sponsor this week. It is<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"> </span><a href="http://disdigidownloads.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Di's Digi's!!! </span></a></b></span> The are the most adorable images.

I hope everyone in the States had a nice Holiday weekend. I spent Saturday with 2 of my sisters and my niece at a little seaside town with a lot of fun shops. Sunday and Monday I spent relaxing and making some cards!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>This is one of the cards I made.

I hope everyone seeing this on the East Coast made it through the Hurricane okay. The only issue I had was electricity. I lost it at 10:30 AM Sunday and didn't get it back until 6:30 PM. It was a dark, dreary day so it was difficult to get anything else done. I decided to start organizing my ribbons. A big task but since I was without electricity for so long I did make a dent in it.<br /><br />Today we have a really fun challenge at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><b style="color: black;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></b></a>. We want you to decorate the inside of a card. I decided to use Maude from Art Impressions. I had bought the large Maude at one of the conventions and then won the little Maude. I thought both of them would be perfect for this challenge. I plan on sending this to my friend Chris for her Birthday. She will love the saying on the inside of the card.<br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card meets are:<br /><br /><b><a href="http://digistamps4joy.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;"></a></b><br /><b><a href="http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">PaperShelter Challenge </a></b>- Diecuts/punches<br /><b><a href="http://audsentimentschallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Aud Sentiments Challenge</a></b> - Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://casestudychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">CASE Study Challenge </a></b>- Show us your Style<br /><a href="http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">Craft Us Crazy </span></b>-</a> Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://digidoodleshopsbest.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Digi Doodle Shop's Best </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://paper-craftingjourney.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Paper Crafting Journey </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Jellypark Challenges</a><span style="color: lime;"> </span></b>- Punches and/or Die Cuts<br /><b><a href="http://thepoodlesparlour.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Poodle Parlour</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://www.totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Totally Gorjuss</a></b> - As you like it<br /><b><a href="http://fashionablestampingchallenges.cottagecrafts.ie/" style="color: magenta;">Fashionable Stamping Challenges</a></b> - Ribbon or Lace<br /><b><a href="http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Opus Gluei</a></b> - Roses or Rosettes<br /><a href="http://scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Pile it On</span></b> </a>- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun<br /><b><a href="http://scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Scrappy Frogs</a></b> - Bling<br /><b><a href="http://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Sparkles Forum</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>- Punch It<br /><b><a href="http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Stampin Sisters in Christ</a><span style="color: magenta;"> -</span></b> Choose at least 3 (Ribbon, Button, A Swirl, Hat Pin, Brad, Charm, Popped up Images)<br /><b><a href="http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Stamptacular Sunday</a><span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>- DIVAtacular (girl with attitude and or style)<br /><b><a href="http://daisydoodlescreativechallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://heartsonginspirations.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Heart Song Inspirations</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes and/or Use your Favorite Colour Combo<br /><b><a href="http://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Incy Wincy Designs </a></b>- Diamonds & Pearls<br /><b><a href="http://liastampz.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Lia Stamps</a><span style="color: magenta;"> -</span></b> Birthday<br /><b><a href="http://www.papercreationsink.com/" style="color: orange;">Paper Creations Ink</a></b> - Show us your Flowers<br /><a href="http://www.stampsruschallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Stamps R Us</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes<br /><a href="http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: blue;">Creative Card Crew</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes <br /><a href="http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">Party Time Tuesdays</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://stamp-n-doodle.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Stamp-n-Doodle </a><span style="color: orange;">-</span></b> Anniversary Congrats /Wedding & OR Two or more circles on your project<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by.

Can you believe Summer is almost over? Here in Massachusetts the kids go back to school in about a couple of weeks. Personally, I am looking forward to Fall. It has been a hot summer and I would like a little cool, crisp air.<br /><br />Since the kids are going Back to School we thought this would be a perfect theme this week at <b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span>.</a></b> I had bought this Lilly of the Valley stamp earlier but had not had a chance to use it.

My Nieces Birthday was a couple weeks ago and this is the card I made her. I can't believe she is 30 years old. I feel ancient!! I have been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to post it. She loves Pink, lace, and pearls so they all had to be incorporated into the card, not that it was hard to do. When I bought this paper from Bearly Mine Nicole was the first person I thought of so I knew this was the paper I would be using on her card. I didn't know what do do with the horse so I glittered it. I thought it came out nice.<br /><br /><br /><b><a href="http://bearlymine-challenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Bearly Mine</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>- Bring on the Bling<br /><b><a href="http://heartsonginspirations.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Heart Song Inspirations</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Animal image or Pleated Ribbon<br /><a href="http://paperplaytime.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Paper Playtime</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://vostamps.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Victorine Originals</a></b> - Birthday<br /><b><a href="http://ccmonthlychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Crafters Companion</a><span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>- Glitter & Glitz<br /><b><a href="http://emeraldfaeries.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Emerald Faerie Garden</a></b>- Birthdays<br /><b><a href="http://www.gingerloftchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Gingerloft</a><span style="color: lime;"> </span></b>- Make it Sparkle<br /><b><a href="http://anythingchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Anything Goes Challenge</a><span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>- Happy Birthday/Celebration<br /><b><a href="http://clearitoutchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Clear It Out</a></b> - Glitter<br /><b><a href="http://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Try It On Tuesday</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Diva's by Design </a></b>- Birthdays<br /><b><a href="http://trulyscrumptiouschallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Truly Scrumptious</a></b> - Lace<br /><b><a href="http://stampwithsarahkay.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Stampavie and More </a></b>- Girlie<br /><a href="http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">Craft us Crazy</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/search/label/challenges" style="color: magenta;">Meljen's Designs </a></b>- Sparkles, Shine & Glitter<br /><a href="http://paper-craftingjourney.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: blue;">Paper Crafting Journey</span></b> </a>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Rainbow Lady's </a><span style="color: orange;">-</span></b> Song of Choice<br /><b><a href="http://shellysimagesblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Shelly's Images</a></b> - Show us what you got(anything goes)<br /><b><a href="http://stampinsanity.com/" style="color: red;">Stamp Insanity</a></b> - Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://cardmakinmamas.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Card Makin Mama's</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Pink<br /><b><a href="http://digiswithattitudechallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Digi's with Attitude</a></b> - Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Fussy and Fancy</a><span style="color: lime;"> </span></b>- 3 or more of your favorite embellishments<br /><b><a href="http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Jellypark Challenge</a><span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>- Your Favorite Embellishment<br /><b><a href="http://thepoodlesparlour.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Poodles Parlour </a></b>- Anything Goes<br /><b><a href="http://designed2delight.com/blog/" style="color: magenta;">Designed to Delight</a></b> - Anything Goes <br /><br /><br />Thank you for stopping by and looking at my card.

I hope everyone in the States had a safe and fun holiday weekend. It is really hot and humid here, which I don't love, but other than that mine was great.

What is one of the reasons we play challenges? To me one of the reasons is to take me out of my comfort zone. The challenge theme this week at<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></span> is Anything but a Card!!! I sat for 2 days just thinking and thinking. What could I do that I would like and use! I thought paper flowers, decorating the front of a scrapbook, making a medallion. All doable but didn't excite me. I decided to wait until the weekend and decide. I then was looking for something in my linen closet, found some potpourri and decided it was time to replace some containers I had with old potpourri. I still had some left over an looked for another container so I could have some on my office desk. I found a tin that was the right size but not really pretty and decided to decorate it for this challenge. I like the way it came out and now I have a nice addition to my desk!! <br /><br />I am especially happy that I got to use an image from our sponsor this week! <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://weestamps.weebly.com/index.html" style="color: magenta;">Wee Stamps!!! </a></span> I have been looking forward to this because I think these are just the cutest stamps! I love every one of them. If you haven't seen them I suggest you go to her website and check them out. You won't be disappointed.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tPTvrS4YJIo/TgZU0UEbAiI/AAAAAAAAA2E/BlAHpqfNer0/s1600/WeeStampsRGB222.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tPTvrS4YJIo/TgZU0UEbAiI/AAAAAAAAA2E/BlAHpqfNer0/s200/WeeStampsRGB222.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><br />Challenge yourself!

How is everyone today? We have been having some really cold and rainy weather here. We have not seen the sun in days. Sunday I spent at a yard sale my LSS store had. Mary and I shared a table and tried to sell some stamps & stuff we don't use anymore. We did okay. We wanted to leave with nothing but I am happy I did sell some stuff. I am now on a mission to organize. I just need to find the time.<br /><br />I had so much fun making this card. I love the teal color and I was itching to use some of the things I bought at the Convention last week. Isn't this new heart die great from Cheerylynn Designs? I love all the little hearts and the great thing is that the middle heart is separate so you can stamp on it and put it back like I did with this. I used one of my new Rubberstamp Tapestry sets to add the flowers. I also used some of my new ribbon! <br /><br />Today we have a real easy challenge at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></span></b></a>. The theme is Anything Goes and the the sponsor is <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/" style="color: magenta;">Kenny K</a></span></b>!!! I love Kenny K images.

How is everyone? Did you have a good weekend? I did. I went to the Hierloom stamping convention held this weekend. We were lucky because the convention is held in West Springfield, MA where the tornado's hit last week. We saw some of the destruction it caused and it was sad. The convention though was a lot of fun. I bought alot of my favorite things which included ribbon, die cuts and stamps. Don't you just love new toys?? <br /><br />Today's theme at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b></span>is Happy Birthday. I thought since I have been making alot of Birthday cards lately I would use one of my new Rubber Stamp Tapestry sayings to say have a special day instead of the standard Happy Birthday.

Do you believe tomorrow is June 1st. Time sure does fly. Did you have a nice long weekend? I did. I did some shopping with my sister and Niece, got my flowers bought and planted and even got some crafting done! I wish every weekend was 3 days long.<br /><br />I love today's challenge theme for <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></span></b>. It is a color challenge and the colors are Blue, Yellow and Green. This gave me a really good reason to use some ruffled ribbon I have. I love it but it doesn't fit every card.

Are you having a good week? I am having a frustrating one. I lost my electricity for 6 hours during the day on Monday and I work from home so that was not good. Then as soon as I sat down to watch TV last night I lost it again for 1 1/2 hours. Hopefully today will be better.<br /><br />Do you like Patterned Paper? If so you will love the theme this week at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a></b></span>.

At this point, even in the states, you can't turn on the TV or read an article without some reference to it. I'm sure it will be big and beautiful.<br /><br />Due to the upcoming nuptials, <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://scrapbooksisters.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Scrapbook Sisters challenge</a></b></span> this week is Wedding or Anniversary. I chose to do a Wedding card. I like all white with a splash of color. I usually try to use the color of the bridesmaids gowns when I make a wedding card. I think it really personalizes the card. Unfortunately no matter what I do I cannot get a good picture of the card. I think it is because I used shimmer paper for it. <br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><br /><b><a href="http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Charisma</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>- Weddings / Anniversaries<br /><b><a href="http://mamidoodles.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Mami Doodles</a></b> - Punch/Die cuts<br /><b><a href="http://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Crafty Catz</a></b> - Embossing<br /><b><a href="http://thestampmanchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Stamp Man</a></b> - Embossing<br /><b><a href="http://cinspirations.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Creative Inspirations</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Punches/Dies<br /><b><a href="http://pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Pile it On</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>- Say it in Style<br /><b><a href="http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Stampin Sisters in Christ </a></b>- Purple<br /><b><a href="http://www.cardcupids.org/blog/" style="color: blue;">Card Cupids</a></b> - 2 colors<br /><b><a href="http://magicalmondaychallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: orange;">Magical Mondays </a></b>- Pearls & Swirls<br /><b><a href="http://woodwareusa-clearstamps.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Woodware USA</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Anything Goes<br /><a href="http://www.papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Papertake</a> - Dimension<br /><b><a href="http://oldiebutagoodiechallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: lime;">Oldie but Goodie </a></b>- Wedding or Anniversary<br /><b><a href="http://creativecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Creative Craft Challenge</a></b> - Embossing <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by.

How is everyone. Yesterday we finally had a beautiful day where I could open all my windows and enjoy the weather! Unfortunately we only had one day of it but I will take it! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dNzF7DbVy-E/TaHipq1ERnI/AAAAAAAAAzM/ktNg2ZV6EOY/s1600/GGWSC4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>We have a fun challenge at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></b></span> </a>that I kindof messed up!! Yes I confess. The challenge is a sketch. I got so involved in making this card I forgot!! When I was looking at the card I thought "something is wrong" but couldn't put my finger on it. When it dawned on me what I did I couldn't believe it. I loved this sketch when I saw it was coming up. The funny part about this is that it must be a good sketch because, except for the 1/2 piece of DP I actually followed the sketch without even knowing it. It was too late to make another card and I didn't dare start to pull this apart when I finally realized what I had done. Here is the sketch.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dNzF7DbVy-E/TaHipq1ERnI/AAAAAAAAAzM/ktNg2ZV6EOY/s1600/GGWSC4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dNzF7DbVy-E/TaHipq1ERnI/AAAAAAAAAzM/ktNg2ZV6EOY/s200/GGWSC4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />We also have a wonderful sponsor this week. <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.winkwinkink.com/" style="color: magenta;">Wink Wink</a></b></span>.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. One of the things I did was to make this card. I had this image colored and loved the way it came out. I knew I had to make a card with it before it got mixed in with other things and ended up getting ruined. I also wanted to use my new Prima paper. It is so delicate and pretty. It is definitely my kind of paper. I wanted to create a really soft and girly card. I hope you like how this came out as much as I do.<br /><br />I would like to add to any followers or visitors today from Japan that my thoughts are with you. I work for a Japanese company and my boss, his boss and some other friends were in Japan last week. I work with alot of Japanese here and overseas. My heart breaks when I see the images on TV.

For me it feels like it should be Wed or Thursday by now. This means it is going to be a long week.<br /><br />March means alot of things. Hopefully it means Spring is around the corner, Easter is coming and we Irish folk celebrate St. Patty's Day! It has been years since I have actually celebrated it but still being Irish I do acknowledge it. The theme this week for <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</a><span style="color: red;"> </span></b></span>is Going Green. You can interpret this any way you want but for me it says Happy St. Patty's Day. We are lucky enough to have<a href="http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.blogspot.com/"> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Digital Delights</span></b></span> </a>to sponsor us again so I got to use this adorable little guy for my card. Do you like my DP? If you have not noticed Digital Delights is also making DP now!!! How great is that? I really liked this one with the shamrocks but they have some other great paper you can download and use! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iPJ9KF8acAs/TXUAwIRS6NI/AAAAAAAAAyE/OLqJZklAAsU/s1600/th_DigitalDelightsbadge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iPJ9KF8acAs/TXUAwIRS6NI/AAAAAAAAAyE/OLqJZklAAsU/s200/th_DigitalDelightsbadge.jpg" width="200" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You should check out the other DT's wonderful cards using the Digital Delights stamps.

How is everyone! Everything here is good. The weather seems to be getting better. Yesterday we hit 49 degrees. Later this week it will happen again! It doesn't look like much of the snow melted but I'm sure we made some progress it is just hard to tell because there is so much of it.<br /><br />Speaking of Spring.....The theme for this week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is Thinking of Spring! We have the most wonderful sponsor also...Bugaboo Stamps! If you have not been there you need to go and check them out. They have the cutest stamps for every occasion. This is one of them and I just love her. She was so much fun to color. Time to dust off all those Spring stamps and play!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H8CY0y4_4bM/TVp2PDuPcQI/AAAAAAAAAxk/jrAoaFoQ1H0/s1600/blog+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="68" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H8CY0y4_4bM/TVp2PDuPcQI/AAAAAAAAAxk/jrAoaFoQ1H0/s320/blog+logo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />The other wonderful challenges my card fits are: <br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_204501965"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://digidoodleshopsbest.blogspot.com/">Digi Doodle Shop Best</a> - Nature - I can't wait to see flowers blooming again.<br /><br /><a href="http://mamidoodles.blogspot.com/">Mami Doodles </a>- Flowers - I picked this image because I liked all the flowers in the pot and on her hat.<br /><br /><a href="http://littleclairesdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/02/challenge-1-anything-goes.html">Little Claires</a> - Anything Goes - I love these themes!

YEAH!!! It has been a long couple of weeks at work and I can really use this weekend! It is suppose to be cold here but no snow so that means I can actually get out of the house and have fun or stay in and make cards. Either sounds good to me!<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I got picked as a top cards at<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://raisethebarchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Raise the Bar</a></span>. </b></span> They invited me to be a Guest DT last week but I was too busy to make a card and they were nice enough to invite me to Guest DT this week. The theme of the challenge this week is Valentines Day without using Red or Pink. This opened up a world of possibilities. I choose this great stamp by Mo Manning. She is so cute with all the flowers. I, of course, went with Blue and Purple as my color choices. You should pull out your Valentine or Love stamps and pop over to Raise the Bar and play. <br /><br />The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1022614830" style="color: red;">Mo's</a><a href="http://mosdigitalchallenge.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;"> </a></b>- Valentine with non traditional colors - I always think Pink or Red for Valentines so this is with Blue & Purple.<br /><a href="http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Crafty Cardmakers</span></b> </a>- Hearts - I love my Heart charms, especially the one I picked for this card.<br /><b><a href="http://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/" style="color: blue;">Incy Wincy Designs</a></b> - Love - Isn't that what Valentines Day is all about?<br /><a href="http://mypartnerincraftingcrime.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: orange;">My Partner in Crafting Crime</span></b> </a>- Love minus Red & Pink - I had alot of fun making this card with non-traditional Valentine Day colors.<br /><b><a href="http://www.ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: red;">Ooh La La </a></b>- For Someone Special - A Valentine's Day card is always given to someone special<br /><b><a href="http://stampwithfun.blogspot.com/" style="color: magenta;">Stamp with Fun</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b>- Love - Valentines Day is all about Love<br /><a href="http://stampsruschallenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: lime;">Stamps R Us</span></b> </a>- Valentine/Love - One & the same in my opinion.
