Christmas time at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations

Hello, lot of post today so please scroll down to see all I am sharing 

Today begins a new challenge at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations, I hope those that celebrated Thanksgiving here in the states had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Oh my day with the family was wonderful and the food was delicious and I am very thankful that all the left overs are now gone (in my hips and belly is where I am sure it went). Now it's the rush to finish up my long shopping list and get busy with baking up all the goodness I just have to have this time of the year. Come January, this gal will be going back to the gym - but until then I will continue to enjoy all the sweet things and pay later LOL!

Ok our challenge at Going Grey with Scrap- Creations is fitting right in for this time of year with our theme

Good morning, not to long before we are busy in the kitchen, getting all the fixings prepared for our Thanksgiving feast! Do you do the cooking? This is the one day of the year that I love, as all of my children and their family come for dinner.

all the preparations and feasting on all the delicious food that is prepared for our Thanksgiving meal!

focal point

Hello and Happy Tuesday 

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge our theme
is 
Pumpkins 


It's that time of the year that I absolutely love, not only 
for all the beautiful fall colors, Halloween and the family get together
but it is the one time during the year that I get my fill of my favorite
 pumpkin rolls. YUM!!


So let's see your take with PUMPKINS


Here is mine -

Yes another favorite holiday as it is the one day during the year that I insist that all of my 

children, and grand children are with me at the dinner table - It's hard to manage with having all four of them 

their own lives and their significant others but some how they know how much it means to me and each year 

we gather as a family and share our blessings together. 

After filling ourselves till we can hardly move, we play board games and check out all ads for the Black Friday Sales - 

Doing it all Digi Week at Going Grey with Scrap

Hello and Happy Tuesday 

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we are talking digis - not only with images but with digital papers too. There are so many fabulous artist out in blog land that have so many cute digi images and now with digis being the "IN" thing, you can find so many new lines of digital papers available as well. I have to say that in the past two years I have gone to using digital images about 95% on my cards. I still love my rubber stamps but find digi images to be my current choice for so many reasons: easy storage, sizing and the variety of artist.

Today I am sharing a digital image from an artist I recently discovered and love her sweet whimsical style 

Krista artist and designer of Saturated Canary.

For my digital papers, can you tell they all are digital? they are from Z. Pearn creator of My Minds Eye

always beautiful designs along with beautiful colors and they print out just so beautifully.

This week along with our weekly challenge of going all digital with digi image and digital papers

Kristen  has decided to throw in a special surprise with a grand prize of a $10.00 gift certificate

to your #1 favorite digital store. All you have to do is leave a comment on Going Grey with Scrap-Creations

and tell us your three favorite digital stores, now be sure to list your most favorite as your #1

For Mine - not sure I could just list 3

1) Saturated Canary

2) By Lori Designs

3) Stamp Fairy

4) Tiddly Inks

5) Cuddly Buddly

6) Digital Delights by Louby Loo

7) Prairie Fariy 

oh and the list goes on and on 

Booooo!

Good Morning thanks for stopping in, 

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations new weekly challenge theme for this week is 

Halloween 

Anything spooky, scary or just plain cute with a Halloween theme

I have to say thanks to everyone who played along with us last week

Oh my goodness all of your cards were so inspiring!!

Hope you will join us again this week!

I just love this little Puddle Jumper Mummy Marvin  from By Lori Designs 

Is he not just the sweetest lil mummy!

He reminds me of the time my two oldest grandsons thought it would be fun

to play with my first aid gauze and Ace bandages - of course it was funny at the time

until I had to help unwrap the younger of the two and he was not happy it was taken 

so long to unwind him, I think they used two rolls of the white sticky tape, taping him up  LOL!!!

My perfect papers are from the Basic Grey Eerie Collection , sentiment is MFT and buttons and twine from PTI along with the card stock.

Hope you will join us and link up your Halloween cards for us to see!

called Handyman Bear

Couldn't resist using this quote I seen, perfect for any handyman

it reads:  One only needs two tools in life

WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape  to make them stop.

As you can see I had a lot of fun creating this card, just kept adding little 

elements as I went along... this card just really fell together on it's own.

But I am really pleased with how it turned out!

can have so many different shapes.

Santa's hat - Favorite holiday at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations

Oop's a day late getting this posted - forgot to schedule it :) LOL!

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge this week is to share a card or project using something that will show your favorite holiday. Sounds fun, and with 6 grandsons they make all holidays fun around our house.

But I think my most favorite is Christmas, with the house all decorated, smell of cinnamon pine cones, tiny lights everywhere, the bubbly excitement of Santa Claus coming, to the look on those precious faces when they are opening their gifts brings so much joy and love.

Hope you will join us sharing your card or project with your favorite holiday!
