As the card says, Happy New Year!
I am just tickled pink to be kicking off 2016 with The Greeting Farm and today is my first official post as a Farmer! As you know a new challenge is issued at the beginning of every month over on the TGF blog and we are starting this year with an easy one... Anything Goes. So why not make a resolution to dust off an older TGF stamp in your stash or ink up a new one and play along for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate? Better yet, grab one of the fabulous digi stamps from the store and really get creative.
Which is just what I did for my sample card today. This pretty party girl is New Year Anya and rather than printing her out at her normal size I decided to blow her up extra large so that she would make a BIG impact. At this size I didn't need to find a sentiment because her paper crown is all the sentiment I need. I also cropped Anya so that she would fall in to the corner of the card which gave me some space to play with a bokeh effect in the background. All I did was sketch in various sized circles in a very light yellow, Y000, then used some dark W8 and W10 Copics to fill in the rest of the space. Then I added a bit more yellow and the colorless blender to fuzz the edges. The smaller white dots were added by taking the eraser end of a pencil and using to stamp white ink on the card. I think it looks like we've caught a snapshot of Anya right as the clock strikes midnight. :)
Be sure to stop by the TGF blog to meet the rest of the new team and check out their fabulous inspiration as well. And you can check out all of the challenge details while you are there too!

Hey there!
Well here we are, the last day of 2015. It wasn't the best of times and it certainly wasn't the worst of times, still I'm hoping to make 2016 the best year I've had in quite some time. It's not off to a bad start considering my luck at joining the TGF design team so I'm feeling optimistic. ;)
For my card today I have done a bit of head swapping trading this cute Anya's body from the Secret Santa set with one of the scarves from an Ian in the same set and Sweater Anya's body. I think it all came together to make quite the stylin' winter ensemble. I colored her up to match this fun snowman print that I saved from an Old Navy gift bag and the 'smile' sentiment is from TGF too.
Alrighty friends have fun tonight but please stay safe out there during your celebrations.
Smooches!

Olo!
A couple months back I made a card combining one of the new tiny clear My Kid stamps with his larger rubber counterpart to make a cute Christmas card. So I figured it was about time to do a sisters version with these bundled up cuties before the season changes. I grabbed some scraps of my all time favorite We R Memorykeepers collection, Merry January, and colored these little ladies to match. Baby sister is from the Sing Hello set and big sis is from the Winter Greetings set. I just love how plump and round these My Kids are, my fingers are crossed that we get some new ones dressed for warmer weather cards sometime soon... doesn't matter which size. ;)
A happy hump day to ya!

Hello, hello!
I'm still pretty pumped about becoming a TGF Farmer so I've decided to have an entire week of Greeting Farm here on the ol' blog. Today I've colored up Icy, who is a digi stamp that I couldn't find in the store to link up unfortunately. I got her this past spring which seemed a little out of season for this winter beauty but now that there is snow on the ground I'm thrilled to finally get Icy on a card. The design is very CAS but once I got that cool bokeh paper on there I didn't want to cover too much of it up. And once again her entire outfit got covered with Wink of Stella glitter pen but the light didn't catch it to really show off the sparkle. Oh well, she still looks quite lovely. :)
Toodles!

Good morning!
Did everyone have a fantastic Christmas? Mine was quite wonderful, probably the best I've had in a few years. It was a beautiful white Christmas surrounded by everyone that I love... doesn't get any better than that.
I will say that it was a bit strange transitioning out of holiday card making mode yesterday. So I decided not to make a huge leap and stuck with a winter themed birthday card using one of the newer TGF Stamp Club stamps that I've received and his name is Azary. He looked like a pretty cool dude to me, maybe he is even celebrating his big day on the ski slopes. While we are on the subject of The Greeting Farm, I've got some exciting news that I have just been dying to share... I am going to be a part of the 2016 design team for TGF! I am totally thrilled to be a Farmer with such a talented bunch of ladies, it is going to be an amazing year! :)

Hi there!
Well, we are here, Christmas Eve day. Are you ready? I'm thankful that I've pretty much got everything covered because I'm feeling a bit under the weather at the moment. Nothing serious, just a persistent cough but it is enough to zap some of my Christmas cheer. Hopefully the cough medicine will have me pepped back up before the big celebration tomorrow.
I made my card for today in the spirit of Christmas Eve and Santa's magic ride. My friend Beth is an amazing card maker and this past Halloween she took the Cute Cottage die from Memory Box and only used the top half of it as a witch flew overhead. I thought this was such a genius use of that die that I was inspired to make a Christmas version of my own. So I grabbed the reindeer from the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Snow set and with a bit of masking created a whole team of reindeer to pull Santa's sleigh. I used a needle to wind the twine into a harness and the jingle bells actually came from the elf's hat in the MFT Santa's Elves set. I gotta say, this was a really fun scene to create.
Here's hoping that Santa doesn't pass you by!
Hugs!

Olo!
Today I've got a card for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge which is all about "Food". I had gotten this lovely Grace stamp during a sale earlier this year and I couldn't wait to get her on a card so this was the perfect challenge for me. I paired Grace up with a fun new paper pad called Hot Cocoa not only because of her tray of gingerbread cookies but because the gingerbread print just makes me smile. I also couldn't help but fussy cut the cute milk bottle and cookie plate from a scrap of Pebbles paper to add as embellishment for good measure.
