<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Happy New Year!</span> It is hard to believe that another year is over. It is not surprising that the new year is going to start with a Nor'easter for us here in New England. I can almost see a snow day right after we get back to school tomorrow.<br />
<br />
This is a card I made before Christmas but did not get to post it until now. I saw the chance to glitter a lot on this card (I love glitter on everything) so I glittered almost everything! No such thing as too much sparkle right?<br />
<br />
Here is some fantastic challenges that fit my card<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello! Happy Tuesday!</span> I can not believe it is already New Year's Eve.

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello! Happy Tuesday!</span> I can not believe it is almost Halloween, where did the time go? I just love this Halloween Bestie.

I can't say thank you enough to Vince over at <a href="http://craftymomentscardmaking.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-backing-papers.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CraftyMoments+%28Crafty+Moments%29"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Crafty Moments</span></a> for the wonderful Halloween papers like this one that he shared with us!<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Tuesday!</span> It is a beautiful Fall day here. I would've loved to have played hooky today from school but I didn't. Next week we get a 4 day weekend from school, I guess I can wait until then. I hope the weather is still this nice!</div>
<br />
Today there is another fabulous challenge starting at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a>. This week the challenge is <span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Cut It Out </span>and we don't mean with a punch or die cut. We would like to see your best <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">fussy cutting</span>. I am not one to ever hand cut things out usually. So funny that I seem to cut this cutie out so many times I just couldn't stop, hehe. I even hand cut the squares around the image with my Exacto knive after I blew off all the dust and cobwebs! On the top layer for the face, bandana, heart and the duck I used a roller ball tool to make it puffed out even more. I think I even used a whole pack of Pop Dots on this card!!! I can't wait to see how you cut it out so come on over and play with us.<br />
<br />
Here are some fantastic challenges that fit my card<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello! Happy Wednesday!</span> This week at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> we have a real fun and easy challenge, the season <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">FALL</span>. We would like to see anything that makes you think of this wonderful time of year, the leaves, colors, pumpkins or anything else you can think of. We would love to have you come play with us!<br />
<br />
I chose this card for this challenge since I see all the kiddos getting off the bus after school and it brings back memories of my own two kids especially my son because he would run off the bus and want to go play because it was getting dark earlier. The one thing is whoever they were playing with they would come running if I asked if they wanted to take a break and have a snack, usually C.C. cookies.<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Tuesday!</span> It definitely feels like Fall right now while I am typing this post. I actually put on a sweatshirt. I love this time of year in New England, it is going to be short lived though, they say the muggies are coming back by the middle of the week and it could possibly hit 90 around here or close to it on Wednesday. We have no AC at school so it makes for a very warm classroom. I am loving being able to create Fall themed cards right now, with the warm, rich colors. I love this Bestie image and thought of Autumn as soon as I saw her. <br />
<br />
This week the challenge at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> is one of my personal favorites, <span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Polka Dots</span>! I use them on almost every thing I create. So if you are like me come over and play with us this week, I would love to see your polka dot creation!!!!<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Happy Monday!!!</span> I don't usually post this often but I didn't want time to get away from me.

I just loved this Fall digi when I saw it at the <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">'From the Heart'</span></a> digi store and knew it would be perfect for her birthday card.

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Holiday!</span> I am getting ready to get back to school this week so I thought I would post this school card. I love to see all the kindergartner kiddos coming through the door on the first day. They are all excited (and a little nervous) when the bus door opens and into the school they come. They are very happy to see a lot of the staff smiling and ready to help them find their way to their new class. Within 2 weeks they are pros though and need no help and want no help as they get off the buses.<br />
<br />
Here are some wonderful challenges that fit my card<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Monday!</span> This is my last week of summer vacation. I head back to school next week. I do have a couple of classes I have to take for 3 days this week but I will be glad to have them finished before the school year starts. This is usually the week I get everything in order at home because the first couple of weeks at school can be stressful while everyone (kids and adults) get settled in.<br />
<br />
I wanted to post this card today, I am giving it to one of the kids that moved on to another school this year. He was a great kid with an awesome attitude about school so I thought this would be perfect for him. I just love these nymph images, they are so much fun to create with. I just got this cutie and I hope eventually to get all of them.<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Thursday!</span> I am posting this cute Penny Back card today while I have a free minute. These are a couple of stamps that I bought along with a bunch of others that a woman was selling because she had no time to stamp anymore. I got a bankers size box full of stamps, CS, DP packs and glue dots and other miscellaneous items that I got to pick out of a basement full of items.<br />
It was a fantastic deal and I am loving everything I picked. The small cat stamp at the bottom of the card is on a wobble so it moves when you shake the the card. Don't you think it is a really cute set. <br />
<br />
Here are some fabulous challenges that fit my card<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Tuesday!!</span> I can't believe that we are almost half way through August. Most of last week was a clean and purge time for me. I can be a real hoarder when it comes to any kind of craft item. Even something that I think I can turn into a craft item. We use to find time at school to fit in a craft for the class every once in a while but those days are changing, there is no time for anything extra. That is what made me decide it was time to clean out and donate alot of stuff. I am also going to put a real effort to use what I have and not buy more DP, flowers, ribbon and embellishments! We'll see how I do.<br />
<br />
This week is a really fun week at <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a>. The challenge this week is <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Girls Just Want To Have Fun!</span> and we are being sponsored by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SherriBaldy"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Sherri Baldy of Besties Digital Stamps</span></a>. She is offering one lucky person their choice of 5 digis from her store. I just love all her adorable images, don't you? So be sure to come play along with us this week for your chance to win. I used these adorable girls and used my favorite colors and lots of glitter because what is more fun than lots of sparkle to a girl!!!!! <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;">Hello, Happy Wednesday</span><span style="color: magenta;">!</span></span> The weather here in New England is so beautiful right now. A perfect day to work outside amongst the flowers. This is my last week of summer school then it is a few weeks off before school starts up and I am back to work again.<br />
<br />
I thought I would post this card I made before the summer and a beautiful day a the beach is gone.<br />
I just loved this Wee Mermaid and thought she would look pretty surrounded in ocean colors. It is hard to see but there is alot of glitter and sparkle on this card. I hope you like it and it brings some fond memories of your times at the seashore.<br />

since I have posted on my blog. I have still been creating cards but not nearly as many items as I was a year ago. I was overweight (I knew it but didn't take it seriously) and during my yearly physical my doctor told me that my health was in jeopardy, I was on high blood pressure and cholesterol meds already and now my cholesterol numbers were through the roof. She wanted me to take some pretty nasty new meds for my triglycerides. I asked for 6 months to try to get my weight down and get my cholesterol numbers better. I agreed to do it her way if I couldn't do it my way. This then consumed my way of life. I needed a total life style change, I started eating totally different (we eat out once a week now instead of fast food 4 days out of 7) and walked 4 miles everyday. The hard work paid off though, six months later when I went to have my numbers checked they were all in the normal range and I was then 53 pounds lighter. It has now been a year and I am 67 pounds lighter and in the best shape of my life. I got a clean bill of health during my yearly visit and am now off all my meds. I think I even amazed my doctor. It was not easy but it was so worth it and now I am trying to fit all the things I loved doing before (paper crafting and posting to my blog) with my new lifestyle of cooking healthy and exercising. Thank you to all my followers that have stuck around, I really appreciate it!<br />
<br />
For my post I created a card for this week's <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge</span></a>. This week is special because we have a wonderful sponsor <a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I Brake For Stamps</span></a>. They were wonderful enough to let us play with the fabulous creations of <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Rick St. Dennis</span>. The theme this challenge is <span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Anything Goes</span>, I chose this cute image because of our own cute bunny Bandit. I am giving this card to one of the kiddos at school that also has a bunny and I made it so she could use it as a small plaque afterward. The blue panel is the card part and after she can glue it down and hang it from some pretty pink polka dot ribbon that I will include with it. I don't know if you can tell from the pic but the middle bunny is on a wobble so it wiggles when you move the card.<br />
<br />
Be sure to come play along with us, you could win a great prize and we would love to see what you create!<br />

<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Hello Happy Wednesday!</span> I hope you all are having a fantastic week. I was lucky enough to get together on Saturday with my wonderful stamping friends. We always have so much fun when we have a day together. We laugh, create, eat, just a fantastic time all day. We all do a little bit of everything, journaling, cardmaking, scrapping it is so much fun to see what everyone is working on in person.<br />
<br />
This is the card that I created for my daughter's birthday about 3 weeks ago. She loves things that are lacey, has sparkle and lots of pearls. She puts roses on everything she creates so I thought this rose image from Just Inklined would be perfect for her card. I am so glad she really liked it.<br />
<br />
Here are some fantastic challenges that fit my card<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Tuesday!!!</span> It is pouring here today and I can't complain because it is so dry from having no rain. I guess it will give me time indoors to finish up all the things I never seem to get around to especially because I head back to work next Tuesday.<br />
<br />
This week over at <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/2012/08/going-grey-with-scrap-creations_28.html"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> we have a really fun challenge, <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">"Off The Edge".</span><br />
We would like to see you create something that has something hang off you creation. Mine is my saying. I can never seem to find that little extra bit of room at the end when it is time to put on a sentiment or a embellishment. That is what this challenge is all about this week. Come play with us and show us how you "hang off the edge".<br />
<br />
My son's birthday was a week ago and this is the card I created for him. When he was really little he loved any kind of equipment. My husband's family owned a construction company and my son could sit for hours (days if we would let him) in the equipment especially the front end loaders just imagining that he was running them. That is why this Kenny K image was perfect for his card this year. When he opened it everyone laughed saying it was like talking a picture of him and putting it on the card!<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello and Happy Friday!!!</span> I can not believe that it is almost September. The weather this week has been beautiful. I have been walking for miles everyday and enjoyed every step. I would much rather be outside walking than on a tredmill and this wonderful weather has been an added bonus.<br />
<br />
This week the challenge over at <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/2012/08/happy-tuesday-hope-you-had-wonderful.html"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> is <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">"Back To School". </span>I am late posting this card I created. There is still plenty of time for you to come play with us. I am sure back to school is on a lot of minds these days. For me it means back to work for me. My family looks at it differently. They aren't looking forward to having the buses on the roads again stopping at almost every other house. They walked to the end of the street to get the bus when they were young, to hear them talk they walked a mile unlike the kids now, hehe.<br />
<br />
I decided that this digi from MayzyArt would be the perfect with this great school 8x8 paper pack for $5.00 that I found at Michaels. It was a great deal on clearance and the pack was loaded with lots of sheets. It afforded me the luxury of cutting up some of the sheets for the apple, busses, pencils, the popped up parts of 2nd grade and the letter strip at the top. I can't remember the last time I cut so much out!<br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Hello!!! Happy Wednesday!</span> The weather is still beautiful here in New England though the stickies are coming back and bringing thunder showers for the next few days and the weekend.

I have used a <span style="color: #3d85c6;">digi</span>, <span style="color: magenta;">DP</span>, <span style="color: #6aa84f;">die cuts</span>, <span style="color: #674ea7;">dots</span> and the perfect <span style="color: #134f5c;">day</span>.<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello and Happy Tuesday!!!</span> It is very early morning (just after midnight) and I just finished this card. I have been working on this card for days and I knew how I wanted to come out but it just never looked good enough, how I envisioned it. Needless to say this is nothing what it started out as. I had a creative jolt after a long afternoon lunch with some school friends. I came home and took most the card apart and I decided to have fun with it. This was the end result!<br />
<br />
The only 2 things I kept was the image and the 1st DP (the blue blue glittered DP that is now behind the underwater scene DP. I went crazy with the diecuts (7 different ones) to make the underwater plant life. Don't you just love this meshy ribbon that I found at a LSS. I just added the strings and the sea embellishments so it would look like an old fishing net. I tore the cellar apart looking for my son's old tackle box so I could use a real fish hook but no luck so I tried my hand at making one to hold the tag. I finished it off with lots of glitter and Dew Drops.<br />
<br />
Okay enough babbling from me. Being Tuesday it is time for another fantastic challenge over at <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a>. The theme this week is <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WATER!</span> </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Hello and Happy Saturday!!!</span> I hope you all had a great start to your weekend. I just finished working my first week of summer school. I am with a preschool/kindergarten class this summer and you forget how cute (but tiring) they are after working with the older kids all year. I am glad to have 2 days to sleep in a bit later.<br />
<br />
I am posting this card today as a <a href="http://myshericrafts.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">guest DT for My Sheri Crafts</span></a>. They have a fantastic challenge starting today and as you can see it is all about <span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">ice cream in a cone or dish</span>! I colored a few images and really liked these cute <a href="http://shop.meljensdesigns.com/"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Meljens Design</span></a> images. I love ice cream in the summer and always feel like it is calling out to me to have some so the faces on both these seemed fitting. I wanted some of the image to look realistic so I put Crystal Effects on the 3 toppings and the cherry on top. I didn't like the spoon flat and it didn't look right popped-up so I took a tool I have with a good size ball on the end and "rolled" the center of the spoon so the edges would pop up and give a curve to the spoon head. I also did the back of the handle to have the center of the handle pop-out. I also used a real doily because the ice cream shop usually serves their ice cream on them. I just dressed it up a bit with jewel mini hearts and mini pearls. All the ladies did such a fabulous job so be sure to stop by and be inspired to play along!<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Friday!!!</span> I hope your start to the weekend is great. This card was suppose to be posted on Tuesday but Blogger is giving me so much trouble and when I started poking around trying to get it to work right I really messed it up. I still can't get it back to where it was but it is working enough to be able to post. I am not very good with computers so I should know better than to start clicking and deleting things that I don't know how to fix if it effects something else.<br />
<br />
This is my card for <a href="http://www.scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> challenge this week. The theme for the week is <span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Christmas in July</span>. I just got this Nellie Snellen (I just love all their stamps) Christmas stamp in June at a Stamping Convention and couldn't wait to color it. I love making my Christmas/Winter cards in the color blue so I couldn't resist doing this one in blue too! I also glittered almost everything on the card, the second pic I hope shows all the sparkle better than the first picture. It is not too late to come play along with us so we hope you hop over and play. I can't wait to see what you created.<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Tuesday</span>! The weather has been perfect here in New England the past two days. It is warm and sunny with low humidity so we haven't had to turn on the AC and it has been wonderful to be outside. I am hoping to work out in the gardens today and tomorrow. I hope after all the horrid weather that has happened the last couple of weeks I'm wishing Mother Nature is quiet for quite a while.<br />
<br />This week at <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> we have a great challenge. We would like you to <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">use something new that you have purchased in the last 2 months</span> and tell us what it is. I have used a mixture of very old and very new on this card I created. My new is this Mo image, I have wanted it for a while but just couldn't justify buying it until about a month ago. Do you see the glittered aqua and blue glittered polka dot DP, I had to buy that a couple weeks ago at one of our LSS stores, I bought every color they had (I love using polka dots!). My last "NEW" item is the the leaf flourish die from Cheery Lynn Designs. I bought it at the last stamp convention I went to in June. We would love to see what "NEW" treasures you have so come play with us this week. Be sure to check out what the other ladies have created this week they are fabulous!<br />

<br /><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Hello! Happy Thursday!</span> I hope the weather is as nice where you are as it is here in New England. It hasn't gotten "HOT" yet but it is coming. It beats all the rain we have had the past few days. This is a card I have made for a friend who is getting married in July. When I saw a picture of her dress it looked almost identical to this dress so I knew I had to use this Saturated Canary digi for their card. It is hard to see in the picture but I found these beautiful pearl flowers at Michaels to add a bit more elegance to the card instead of regular pearls. I love the look of an all white card.<br />
<br />It is hard to see but I added a thin layer of glitter to the dress and the wedding garland die to give them some sparkle.<br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Hello, Happy Tuesday!!!</span> I am so happy school's finally out for the summer!!! I work in a local school system so that means some much needed time off. I have so much to catch up on around here. I did get to go to my friend Pia's house on Saturday for a day of creating and laughing with the girls. It was so much fun to spend the day with everyone and I got a lot of crafting done too!<br />
<br />
This week at <a href="http://scrap-creations1.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Going Grey with Scrap-Creations</span></a> the challenge is a great one for anyone here in the US, the theme is the <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Fourth of July!!!</span> I don't know what I love the best, the big parade in town, the cookouts or the fireworks. We would love to see what the Fourth of July means to you, so come play along with us this week.<br />
