Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge: Doing it Digi!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Did you do anything FUN??? I have to admit, since the semester has started, my time with my family and for my self has been really limited. I mean REALLY, limited, but this weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a LONG time. Friday night I hosted a Arbonne party, and the demonstrator was a friend, so it really was a girls night, with a few drinks, great conversation and lots of laughs. Then on Saturday, I spent the day stamping with Mary, Peggy, Pia, Michelle, and Donna, and as always that was SUPER fun.....even with the 11/2 (personal joke), and then Saturday night, Hubby and I went to a Haunted House, and the kids got to spend some time with my parents and some extended family, that was a great evening for all. Then on Sunday, we hosted our annual neighborhood Halloween party, and then we took the kids to our Karate pumpkin tournament, where they got to go trick-or-treating. As you can see, we had a action packed weekend, but a wonderful one, and best of all, I gave myself the weekend off, and I didn't pick up one single book wahoooo.......
Ok, I am super excited about this weeks challenge, as it has become my favorite way to create, and no, it's not Halloween (even know if I coud, I would make every card Halloween LOL). This week, we want to see what you can do with your Digis.....Digi image and Digi paper! I know some of you still use rubber, but I have to admit, I am mostly a DIGI girl. I would say that 98% of my images are digi. It is extremely rare, that I will buy a rubber stamp. Why you ask? Well, with so many amazing artist out there sharing there artwork, I can't image being limited to to just rubber stamps. Also, there are so many reason to use Digi: storage, sizing, access ability, not to mention the amount and different styles available. So, not only did I use a Digi image, I also used digi paper. I bet you couldn't even tell it was digi paper! The Digi image I used on my card is from Whimsy and Stars Studio, and the AMAZING paper I used is from Bearly mine, and it was FREE!!!! Now if you take a close look to Mary, Peggy and my card, you will notice that we ALL used the same DIgi paper...hahahaha....and none of knew that each other was using that paper until we all sat together on Saturday and made our cards...LOL, BUT, I bet you didn't even notice, because our cards are all so different!
So, with this weeks challenge being all about DIGIs, I think it would be fabulous if we could all share 3 of our favorite Digi companies, AND there will be a prize! I will randomly choose I person from our comments section and give them a $10.00 GC to their #1 digi company. SO when you are commenting and leaving your list of 3 store, please be sure to have your #1 store in your #1 spot!



So, I Will lead off and share my favorites (sorry, I can't limit to just 3)!



1. Tiddly Inks



2. Prairy Fairy



3. Paper Shelter



4. Whimsey Stars Studio



5. Kenny K



Oh my gosh, I am going to stop, as I could go on forever!







Okay, I have rambled on enough today, so lets get this party started. Last week we had a great challenge tag challenge. The TOP 3 from last weeks challenge are:

Going Grey With Scrap-Creations challenge: Tags


Happy Tuesday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I hope you had some time do enjoy the fall festivities going on. My family and went apple and pumkin picking on Sunday and, I was just completely enjoying watching the kids play in the hay field, eat play with the pumpkins, and of course we had to end the day with some ice cream :) I absolutely love Fall, but I hate the thought of winter approaching, and approaching it is doing. The days are averaging 60, and nights dipping down to 40-50's, and not to mention that November is coming sooner that I would like it to. Arghhhh....I refuse to think about jackets, mittens, hats, boots, and SNOW.....before we know it, Christmas will be here. Ok, let me not get ahead of myself...... anyways, back to fall, and the 2 little cherubs I fall for! These little cherubs are mine and I just can't get enough of them......



Okay, so this week we have a little bit of a different type of challenge for you. This week we want to see your project with a TAG. It can be a tag on a card, a tag on a project, or just a tag. For this weeks project, I have posted a tag I made for my school bag. We have 30 people in my class and all of us have the same duffle bag, So I made this tag to go on my bag, and I also made 33 more of these tags for the incoming freshmen nursing students as part of a project the Senior class was doing for the incoming freshman...... This super sweet image is by Prairy Fairy, whom I just LOVE!!!!!
All I can say is WOW.....The cards for last weeks Halloween challenge were awesome!!! Way to rock a challenge ladies......as hard as it was, the TOP 3 from last week are:

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations Challenge: Halloween


Happy Tuesday! I hope you all enjoyed your Columbus Day weekend. The weather this past weekend here in NH was amazing, 80 degrees and gorgeous. While we layed low this weekend, we did attend a local Apple fest, and the kids played some games, we took a hayride, and had some lunch with friends. Always a nice way to kick off the fall season. Mostly, we just hung around the house and did some Halloween decorating and cleaning. Halloween is one of our favorite days of the year and my husband goes crazy decorating every year. This year he has decided to build something with pipes and fog......ah, if he would only be so ambitious about about getting things done around the house...LOL



So, of course this weeks challenge has got to be HALLOWEEN....hehehe...I love to make Halloween cards, but I wanted to try something a little different. I always use the "typical" Halloween colors, orange, black, green and purple, but once I saw the Digi paper by Bearly Mine, I knew it would go perfectly with this way to cute Paper Shelter image. So I went with it and I kind of like how it turned out. Whatcha think???

So, last weeks Autumn cards were gorgeous as always, but the TOP 3 were:
