HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today is the DAY! The FIRST day of 2010, RELEASE DAY at The Greeting Farm, and the GRAND OPENING of the CLUB ANYA & FRIENDS CHALLENGE BLOG!

To kick off our celebration, ALL NEW RELEASES are available at 9AM CST on the TGF site. Also, we are hosting an ENTIRE DAY of CHALLENGES on the CLUB ANYA & FRIENDS Blog...beginning at 9AM CST so be sure to come over and party with us! The TGF DT and Team Anya have joined forces for this release and EACH member has a SPECIAL CHALLENGE for you today so head on over, check out our new 'digs', grab a badge, or two....and CELEBRATE the NEW YEAR with The GREETING FARM!

Well this is my first post of the New Year and my last card of 2009. For today's card I altered two stamps that was released today. I put Miss Gigi's head on Stella's body and wiped away the envelope and changed up the sleeves. Miss Gigi is colored up with copics and I used an array of papers like the purple from Recollections, the black and white glitter polka dot from doodlebug, I think the white with silver circles is from Making Memories, and then solid PTI cardstock. I can't remember where the glittery silver paper for the flower came from. I used stardust stickles on the shirt and flower on the headband. I also outlined 2010 using a gelly roll stardust pen. I decided to go glitzy with sparkles here and there and the use of purple for a little more regal feel. I also used sketch #12 from the 12 Days of Christmas challenge at the Farm.

In addition, the TGF Blog is hosting our 12th and FINAL Sketch Challenge of our "12 DAYS OF SKETCHES" so be sure to head on over, check out the sketch, and see who won last week's FFF challenge, too! Also, be sure to WELCOME our THREE NEW FARMERS as they officially start their term TODAY! Our 12 Days of Sketches challenge has been a HUGE SUCCESS and we thank you all for your participation! Remember, you have until SUNDAY, 1/3/10 at 8PM CST to complete all 12 and be entered to win the GRAND PRIZE. ONE RANDOM WINNER who completes all 12 sketches will WIN the ENTIRE JANUARY RELEASE TODAY (not incl. the presale on the new Happy Day set).

Have a great time ringing in the NEW Year with our "IN WITH THE NEW at TGF" BASH going on NOW at the Club ANYA and FRIENDS BLOG! Remember, for today's hourly challenges, each challenge winner will receive a new Sprout of their choice, so be here to party with us! Live overseas? No problem!
