Seeing spots

Good morning!

I've got a quick one to share with you this morning and not only does it feature the new Happy Day Amelia, in honor of today being release day, it is also for this week's Monday Mania challenge over at CA&Friends. It's a recipe challenge with Trish aka Stampi, that will have you seeing spots and dots all over! The challenge requires you to use at least one polka dot pattern paper and a minimum of three circle elements on your card. :)

Oh and don't forget that there are still some chances to win the new Camille and Ebony rubber stamps as we've hidden one of each on a couple of the DT blogs today... like the card says... fun, fun, fun! ;)

Sorry this is super short, I've just got a crazy busy schedule today with an extra full to-do list.
See ya tomorrow!

Enjoy every moment

Happy Sunday my friends... I hope everyone effected by the tsunami warnings yesterday managed to stay high and dry, my thoughts have been with you all. :)

Despite all of the crazy weather so many places have been experiencing this winter, we've had it a lot milder than usual in my neck of the woods. Heck, we're already seeing signs of springs like the crocus flowers pushing their way up through the dirt and its got me so ready for some warmer weather. And I can't help it, my cards are definitely reflecting that wish.

So I pulled out Travel Anya and used her head with Dress Me Anya's body because I just love how it looks like her hair is blowing in a gentle breeze. Now rather than taking a trip through busy, crowded airports Anya is strolling through a peaceful meadow full of fluttering butterflies and sweet smelling flowers... who wouldn't want to join her? Oh and see those little crochet flowers? My wonderful sister has taken up crochet recently and she made them just for me. I'm hoping now that I've used them up she will make me a bunch more... hint, hint Jacque... LOL ;)
I'm also entering my card into this week's Flutter By challenge. It's open so I figured it would qualify with all those little butterflies flitting about. :)
Alrighty, I'm off to work... catch ya on the flip side!
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and PTI
paper- Making Memories (Flower Patch)

Ebony and ivory...

Well maybe not ivory but I do have Ebony to share with you today and great news my friends...she's now available in rubber! Woot, woot! :)
Yep, one more of the limited edition Twi Sprouts is finally taking her permanent spot on the Farm and who doesn't love that? Ya know I do!

Ebony is such a funky little chick with a style all her own. She's a bit edgy and a lot cute so I let myself go wild with the colors and papers on this card... helloooo zebra print, LOL! ;)
I also thought she looked like she could be a closet comic book geek so I broke out my absolute most FAVORITE Prima flowers ever for this. The Summer Singles came out last year I think, and the flowers have comic book style character drawings printed on them which totally appeal to me as I'm a closet comic geek myself... whistle, whistle ;)
Anywho... I just think miss Ebony could give any fan boy a run for his money in a pop culture trivia contest like Beat the Geek (anyone ever watch that game show?) LOL.

This card also follows Pam's awesome Saturday sketch challenge over at CA&Friends and we would love to see you join the fun this week. While you're there be sure to check out all the Ebony goodness from my fellow CA girls too! :)
And don't forget that all of the new releases we've been previewing this week will go up for sale at The Greeting Farm on Monday, 3/1... yeah! :)

Alrighty, time for work... may the force be with you... ;)

ROooOaAAaRRrr!

Hey sweeties! Are you ready for another TGF March release preview?
You may have been a lucky gal who snagged one of the limited run Oliver and Amelia sets a couple month's back when Jess first sneak peeked them but for everyone else this is the official "Hello and welcome to the Farm" for these little cuties. :)

I used Oliver for my card today simply because I could not resist those little dino friends of his... can't you just hear the funny "Grrrrrrrrr" and "Arrrrrrrgh" sounds Oliver makes as he plays with them? Heeheehee... me too! ;)
Plus how could I pass up the opportunity to play with this fun Basic Grey paper that was such a perfect match... it's like a thought bubble into Oliver's imagination! Ok, I admit... I may have had too much fun with this one. :)

If you haven't been already, stomp on over to the CA&Friends blog to see all the wonderful cards my teamies have created with this fab new set!
And then mark your calendar for Monday, the 1st when the entire March release goes up for sale in the TGF store... lots of fun new rubber to play with, yeah!

Alrighty then, I'll see ya back here tomorrow with the last of the TGF sneak peeks for March.
Have a good one! :)Supply list:

Wednesday challenge on a Thursday

Good morning!

So I'm a day behind in sharing this card with you here since this was my sample for the All That Scraps challenge. This week we want to see you use some kind of text paper on your cards... it can be torn from an old book, cut from a newspaper or even scrapbook paper that's made to look like that. I took the later approach and used the October Afternoon Cherry Hill die-cuts for a quick and easy decorative border strip that only looks like I punched it out of old dictionary paper... yep, I'm a cheater, cheater pumpkin eater LOL! :)

For the main image I altered Sugarplums Polka Dot Emma simply by wiping away the bottom half of her swimsuit and torso then drew in the skirt on her new dress. Oh and I added some shoes to her feet too. Now she's ready to step off the beach and head off for a day out on the town. :)

I hope to see you join in this week's challenge, there is a super cute Pebbles Inc Lil Buddy paper and sticker set up for grabs which would make some fantastic boy cards! Just be sure to post your entry on the blog using Mr Linky by Tuesday at 10:00pm est. Your card must include a stamp sold in the All That Scraps store (don't worry there are a ton to choose from... check it out!) to be eligible in our weekly giveaway and only one entry per person please. :)

I can't wait to see all the cool cards everyone comes up with for this challenge!

Happy stamping my friends! :)
