Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Pop it Up

Happy Tuesday!!! As I am typing this, we are in the middle of a Hurricane, so I am hoping to get this posted before we lose electricity......So, needless to say that it has been pretty exciting around here in New England. Not sure about where you live, but around here the news gets everyone crazy when the weather starts to kick up, so for the past few days, people have been crazy with going to the food store and buying gas, and stocking up on batteries. School was cancelled today and most people sent home from work because of a state emergency! It is only October and the kids have a missed day of school, and we it isn't even winter yet. You never know what you're going to get with weather in New Hampshire.....
This week is our last challenge of October, and Peggy has declared this weeks challenge a POP IT UP challenge. We want to see what your take is on POP it up! I used a Digi stamp (and I wish I remembered the company), and I decided I would cut and pop his head for a little more realistic effect. I also decided this would be a great little boys birthday card, with the blue and the green....
So, last weeks Halloween challenge was AWESOME....The entries were FABULOUS... you know I love Halloween and I thoroughly enjoyed your projects. SOOOO hard to pick the top 3....but....I managed and

last weeks TOP 3 are:

Susan M

Donna S

Pat

Going Grey With SCrap-Creations: Halloween

Happy Tuesday!!! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I know I did. Friday night I had dinner with a good friend, and then on Sat I went to my usual Weight Watchers meeting (yes, I am trying to lose weight). I am happy to report that I lost 4.4lbs last week, which puts me at -14.4 lbs in 5 weeks. It's been work, but I am not going back. I am hoping to be -30 by Christmas....We'll see...So, after WW, I Headed to a friends house and spent the day stampinh with, Mary, Peggy, Pia, Michelle, and Nicole....Always a good time when we get together...I love these ladies ! time.Then on Sunday we spent the day visiting some of our local farms....As you can see the kids had a great. It was really nice to take in a great fall fun day.

So, continuing with our Fall themed month, Peggy has declared this weeks challengeL Halloween. Which of course I am super excited about. I LOVE Halloween. For my card today, I used a Mo Manning Digi image, and Basic grey paper, and Memory box dies. So we want to see your Halloween projects this week!!!!

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Leaves

Happy Tuesday....I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I would love to go on and on and tell about all the fabulous weekend events we went to, but we didn't...LOL...Saturday Abbey had Gymnastics (every Sat for 4 hrs), and then we did a bit of shopping (nothing fun), and Sunday Abbey had a Gymnastics clinic (4 hrs) and Ryan Had his very first Hockey game (they won).....This is pretty much my weekend from now till May. Abbey does competitive Gymnastics and meets start next month, and Ryan has a game every Sunday....Maybe we can fit in some weekend events in between :) Here is a pic of Ryan on Game day.....He is so stinkin cute.....Just sayin....LOL.

So, here we are in week 3 of our Fall challenge theme. This week we want to see your projects that are "leaves" themed. I guess I am really reaching with my project this week, but my tree does have leaves on the tree (wink)....I started this project with the tree in mind and then went from there. I used all Stampotique Originals Stamps, minus the bats. I have to admit that this page was SUPER fun to make. I used so many different types of medium, and my hands were covered in ink...That's always a good sign of a fun project. I would love to add journaling onto this page, but I am afraid I might ruin it. If you have any sayings that would work for my page, I am completely open to ideas, and if I use your saying, I may just send you a little something......
WOW...last weeks "pumpkin entries were amazing!!! I loved them all, which made picking this weeks TOP 3 very difficult. So after much debate,

last weeks TOP 3 are:

Christy

DragonLady

Deonna

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Pumpkins

Happy Tuesday!!! I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend. I am happy to report that I had a fabulous weekend. My family and I headed to Wells Maine to celebrate my Dads birthday and enjoy the last weekend that my parents camp was open for the year (sad). It was a great time. Friday night we had dinner with my parents, aunt and uncle, and on Saturday we spent some time at Kennebunkport and then celebrated a early Trick-or-Treat at the camp ground. This was our first year attending, and I am glad we did. The kids had a wonderful time, and got a TON of candle (oh boy).

For you that don't know, we are HUGE Halloween people. We love all the decorations, pumpkin carving, and we host a annual neighborhood Halloween Parade for the kids. Every year my husband goes crazy and decorates the yard with props, coffins, skeletons, and so much more. He spends most of October getting the yard ready for Halloween. Sometimes I think it is too much, but he said he continues to do it for the "kids"....Hmmmmm not so sure it's just for the kids. I will be sure to share some pics when the yard is complete, but for now it is still under construction...lol.   So, continuing with the fall theme for the month of October, Peggy has made this weeks challenge: PUMPKINS....We want to see all your creations that involve pumpkins. I have used my new stamp that I purchased and created this weeks card. After I took the pic, I noticed that the ribbon was crooked...Don't look...hehehe.
   Fabulous cards last week, I enjoyed all your fall flowers. Last weeks TOP 3 are:

                                                                           R. Myers

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Fall Flowers

Phew....It's already Tuesday, and I am exhausted...LOL...I promise I have a card for you, BUT, I cleaned my craft room and low and behold, it is missing. Argh...I think I function better in a messy environment. Not only did I make a card, but I bought a new stamp for this challenge. Had I not worked 11 hours yesterday, I would have looked longer, but I am just exhausted. Hopefully, after work today I will have better luck :)
This week we are starting the month off with a fall theme. This week we want to see your projects that have FALL FLOWERS. My favorite fall flower is Mums...and the huge sunflowers...they are gorgeous!!!
So last week I gave you all a challenge to leave me a comment of the thing you like the best about fall and I would pick one random winner for a surprise prize, and that person is.........

Here are your random numbers:
