Going Grey With Scrap-Creations challenge: Vacation

 

Happy Tuesday....By the looks of my pic this week, can you tell I'm in a funk....You see Nursing school doesn't end with graduation.  You have to continue studying for the NCLEX, which is the biggest exam of a nursing students life. It is the exam that tells you if you get a license or not....Basically, if you don't pass this test, you don't get a job!!!!  So you see, that is what I have been doing for the past few weeks, studying like a crazy lady for this NCLEX exam.  Needless to say, with the kids getting out of school, fathers day, graduation parties, and my Mums B-day, and trying to study, I didn't get a thing made for this weeks VACATION challenge. Soon enough, the studying will be over and I will get my MOJO back and life will go back to "normal".  I do believe I am at the point in which my head is going to explode!!!!
Anyways, enough about my "brain issues", lets move onto the fabulous cards from last weeks "Celebration" challenge...WOWzers, the cards were fabulous!!!! It was a tough one to narrow it down, but I manage these TOP 3 from last week:

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Celebration

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  It was a rather slow weekend here and I am not complaining.  It is rare that my family and I don't have anything on the calendar, so I try to enjoy the time while we have it.
   So, I wish I could say that life is less stressful since I have been out of school, but honestly I can't remember a time when I have studied this hard for an exam....With the NCLEX (nursing board exam) in my future, I have been studying like a crazy lady.  It is all starting to be a blur...The stress is starting to eat at me and the anxiety of the exam sits in my stomach like a brick.  You know what they say. If you want something bad enough, you need to work, and work it has been!!!!  I sure do hope my brain can spit out everything it has taken in when needed.....

   Well, I haven't much felt like stamping, but have found my lost passion for scrapping and journaling. For this weeks "Celebration" challenge, I created a board book scrapbook for my Niece Rowan's 2nd birthday.  This was a kit from Papercuts and I just loved putting it together and adding my own DP and special touches.  I hope my sister-in-law likes it. p.s. How cute is my niece????
  Ok, Ok, I could go on about my niece forever, but that would be boring for you (hehehe), so moving on to Last weeks TOP 3 from the Fathers Day challenge. All were great cards, but as you know there can only be 3, and they are:
                                                                           Katie

 Sue

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Father's Day

Happy Tuesday!!! I sure do hope that the weather is better where you are. Here in New England we are drowning in the rain. It has been raining her for days on end....Seriously, I think I forget what the sun looks like and my body is begging for some vitamin D (sunshine).  Despite the pouring rain, I managed to have a great weekend. Sat Mary, Peggy, Pia, Michelle, Nicole (Mary's daughter) and I attended the Heirloom rubber stamp show in Springfield Mass.  While I did manage to spend a little, I spent more time watching and learning new techniques and doing make and takes.  I didn't buy 1 piece of paper or one copic...wahoooo!!!!  While the show was nice, the best part of the day by fr was spending it with great friends.  I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life :)
   My card for this weeks "Father's Day" challenge was from a make and take I made at the show. Of course I couldn't make the card the way they wanted me to, so I colored the image and took it home to finish it my way...lol...  I think this may the most clean and simple card I have ever made and I am happy with it.  I wish I could tell you the name of the stamp, but I forget...ahhh sorry!

Ok, lets check out last weeks TOP 3 from the Fairy Challenge:
