Be Merry!!!

Happy Tuesday!!  Can you believe Thanksgiving is over and we have less than a month until XMAS??  WOW....I have so much to do....and while I know I will get everything done, I look at all my weekends and wonder how.  I hope everyone in the States had a good Thanksgiving weekend.  Mine was really full.  I had family functions all weekend long.  Usually I spend this weekend putting out my XMAS decorations but it didn't get done because all my family things were in the middle of the day and so I didn't have enough time.

Today is Tuesday so it is the Going Grey with Scrap Creations challenge!  We have a really easy challenge, Anything Goes!! and a great sponsor this week, Digi's with Attitude!   They were kind enough to give us some images to play with but I really liked this Freebie they gave last week so I decided to use this.  To see some of their other wonderful images you really need to check out what the other DT's did.  You can find their links on my sidebar.

 

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:


Crafts and Me - Snowflakes - I love putting snowflakes on my cards and this one is no different.

Fab and Funky - Going with the Flow - Love the theme name!  This means anything goes and my card fits that!

For Fun - Anything Goes - Another great theme!

Little Red Wagon - Basic Grey - My DP on this card is from BG.  I do love their paper!!


House that Stamps Built - Sketch - Perfect for what I wanted to do.  I didn't want the Santa head really big so this was perfect.


Alota Rubber Stamps - Let's Celebrate XMAS - Yes!  I hope if I get alot of the things I need to do done in the next couple of weeks then I will have time to relax and celebrate.


Digi Doodle's Shop Best - Red & Green - How can you really do a Santa card and not make it red & green??

Paperplay - Stars - My Red DP on the stripes have little stars on them.  I thought it was great with the background DP

Marks Finest Papers - Bow - I needed something to put on the stripes.  I thought the gold bow fit perfectly.

Sweet Stampin - Buttons and Bows - I have the buttons on my snowflakes and the bow on the strip of paper.

Our Daily Bread - Snowflakes - The Create Joy saying seemed to be long in the circle and I think the snowflakes add just enough to fill the space.

I Did It - Surprise Me - Great theme name!   My Santa card is my surprise!

Scrappy Frog - Christmas - This is my 1st card this year with Santa!  I can't believe it.

Let it Snow

Good Morning.  I can't believe it is Tuesday again....These weeks are flying by.  It's also a short work week for me due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I am looking forward to the 4 day weekend.

Since it is Tuesday it is time for another Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  This one was right up my alley....Blue & White or Silver.    I love these colors!!!  Of course, these colors say Snow....Snowman...Snowflakes to me so I decided to do them all. I also used some new mica chips I bought when I took the Melissa Frances class.  They give the card a light and airy look.  This is the first time I used them and I put a little too much on but I do like them and will be using them again. 


The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Inktegrity - Sketch - I thought this simple sketch would fit what was in my mind when I started this card.

Fab & Funky - Forget me not - I love this theme name.  This challenge was to use something old.  Mine is my stamp.  I bought this a couple of years ago and found it last week while looking for something else.  I have always loved it and decided to use it for this challenge.

Digi Doodle Shop Best - Anything Goes - I do love to see these.  I can't go wrong!

Paper Romance - Favorite Things - I have alot of favorite things on this card.  My stamp, my DP, snowflakes and my spellbinders swirls

PaperPlay - Let it Snow - I like snow when I can sit inside and enjoy it or put it on my cards.  I don't like when I have to drive or shovel it!

Stamping B - Snowflakes - I love my snowflake punches.  I use them on just about every card in the winter.

Simple Doodles - Buttons - I used snowflake buttons on top of my CS snowflakes.  IRL it gives the flakes real dimension

Stamping for the Weekend - Winter - It is right around the corner here in the Northeast.  Luckily we haven't had too much of it yet.

Totally Papercrafts - Snow or Snowflakes - I have both on my card this week.  I have the snowflakes and then I used my new mica chips to show snow and I put Flowersoft under the snowman.

2 Sisters - Snowflakes - I love all the snowflakes on this card. 

One Stop - Snow people -  I have alot of snowmen/women...I love making cards with all of them

One Stitch at a Time - Season or Event - I will go with Season.  Living in the Northeast I may grumble but I do like the change of seasons and Winter will be here anytime now.

Incy Wincy Designs - Blue & White - I love these colors!!  Most of my card is Blue and White

Scrap it with a Song - Winter Wonderland - With all the snowflakes and mica chips on my card it is a winter wonderland.

Digital Tuesday - Let it Snow - Okay but only on my cards LOL!!

Merry Kissmas!!!

Good Morning! Did everyone have a good weekend?  I did!  My weekend started Friday night by going to Customer appreciation night at my LSS.  This is by invite only and obviously I spent too much money there this year because I got invited.  LOL!!  The special guest this year was Melissa Frances.  She is so nice and talented.  Saturday it continued when I took a class by Melissa with Mary, Kristen and Pia.  We had so much fun.  Sunday was more layed back and I made this card.  All in all a good weekend!

Today we have a really fun theme at Going Grey at Scrap-Creations!  The theme is to make a card or project that is inspired by a song!   We also have a wonderful sponsor!!  Prairie Fairy!!!  I love these stamps!!  You really need to pop over to her store and check them out.   She was nice enough to let us use some images this week and I couldn't resist  Gillian!  This image is called Mistletoe Kisses and I can't help but to smile when I see her.   The first song that came to mind is "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause".

Grab your stamps, think of a song and play!  You can win some of these great stamps!!

Merry Christmas

Good Morning.  How is everyone doing? When does it really hit you that XMAS is coming soon?  I know the holiday season is approaching because I went to my first craft fair this weekend.  Two of my sisters, my niece and I go into Boston every year to go to this.  There are so many talented people out there and this is a big fair with everything from Jewelry, XMAS decorations and Food to buy.  I actually got 2 XMAS presents bought!!!  I am so glad I have started.  We have many more fairs to go to and we always enjoy the day.  It really says to me that XMAS is approaching. 

Today is Tuesday which means the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  The theme this week is Christmas!

Autumn

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween.

Today's theme for Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is a great one!  Use you favorite technique.  There are so many great techniques out there.  I chose Masking.  Not only did I mask the image for the clouds but I used my masking tape to make the plaid background.  I have not done this for a while and forgot how fun it was.  I also embossed the red and blue CS which is another technique.  I used the cuttlebug folder for the blue and used my score buddy to make the design on the red.

In addition to a fun theme we have a great sponsor this week.  The Craft Room Door!  You can win a 1 year subscription to this wonderful magazine.  How cool is that!!

So think Technique and play with us!
