Happy Monday all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I actually spent some time in my craft space to clean, organize, and create. I created two cards this weekend, the one you see here and the one you will see tomorrow for By LORi Designs. It really feels good to take some time for myself to create.
For today's card I am using Ebony from The Greeting Farm. I actually had her hair and skin colored for over a year. Can you believe that?! Finally she has made her way to a card and she makes a perfect V-Day card for a teen. A little edgy and not overly pink. I colored Ebony with copic markers. The punch outs are from Papertrey Ink, Sizzix, and Stampin' Up. The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye. I love this pack of paper and will probably be using most of it up this month. Finally I added some diamond stickles on the headband and skull for a little pizzazz.
Thank you for stopping by I hope you have a great day.

I can see CLEARLY now at TGF!!!
It's gonna be a BRIGHT and SUNSHINY day for sure at The Greeting Farm! Hooray!
Today is the day- two new sets are available for purchase as we are proud to debut our new line of CLEAR stamps!
Today is the day- two new sets are available for purchase as we are proud to debut our new line of CLEAR stamps!
Here is my project using the My Fairy Princess set:
I thought this little fairy reminded me a little of Marilyn Monroe, so I tried to go a litte bit simple elegance with the yellow and black color scheme. I added some little half pearls to the butterflies and the fairy dress. The wings were glitterfied with diamond stickles and then some glitter was used for the fairy dust trailing below her.
We are SO excited to begin today's hop combining some TGF 'alum' with our Farmers! Be sure to check out the TGF BLOG for a complete list of links, as one lucky winner will receive BOTH sets just for commenting and participating in the hop! And just in case you get lost along the way in all of the excitement that is CLEARLY mounting...here is the list:
That's it for me today, but be sure to head over to the TGF BLOG, where it's ALL beginning! HAPPY RELEASE DAY, everyone! Thank you for visiting!

A Clear View of What is New at the Farm!
Hey, everyone!
I am back to fully reveal what may have been just a cloudy snippet yesterday... did you see through our little surprise or are you CLEARLY stumped?
Well, wonder no more because some of the cherished members of the TGF alum along with the Farmers are thrilled to bring you a BRAND NEW line by TGF:

CLEAR STAMPS!!!!
INTRODUCING.....MY FAIRY PRINCESS and BANTASTIC
See you tomorrow for the official release of our first two CLEAR stamp sets, Bantastic and My Fairy Princess. Thanks for stopping by!
Before we go any further, these stamps are not replacing our rubber line. We are testing the waters to bring you some fun new designs, and most of all QUALITY stamps! To add to the fun, we also have the opportunity to bring you some RE-RELEASES, in addition to NEW releases and we are excited to get started with our first two sets!
For my card I used My Fairy Princess and the background behind the mushrooms is Blush Hello. I colored these sweet fairies and fun mushrooms with copics. I distressed the edges of the green background paper. The paper flowers are handcut circles that have been crinkled and adorned with some yellow half pearls. The yellow and white twine was a purchase that I made while in Washington at the Impress store that Miss Kadie took me to while I was there on business. For the fairy wings, I stamped the image of the fairies on vellum and did a careful cut around the wings and a rough cut everywhere else. I then attached the wings to the colored images of the fairies that I had cut out and left the wings off.
So, what do you think? Are you CLEARLY stunned or could you see RIGHT THROUGH our snippet yesterday? Anxious to try the new line? Well, be sure to leave a comment on the TGF BLOG to see who ELSE is previewing the FUN today...you'll see some familiar faces in addition to our Farmers and there's a SET OR TWO UP FOR GRABS there, too!
See you tomorrow for the official release of our first two CLEAR stamp sets, Bantastic and My Fairy Princess. Thanks for stopping by!

A Walk in the City
Just a quick stop by with a card that I made for Jen's Deconstucted Sketch Challenge #4. This week they have the most awesome company around as their sponsor...The Greeting Farm! Of course I had to play along this week. The Greeting Farm gave me my first DT experience and best of all I've made many friendships that will always hold a special place in my heart. The image is Harlow from the Creepin' Crew Collection at TGF. I colored Harlow with copics and paired her with some Basic Grey and PTI. I made the paper flower from left over scraps and added some tulle tails. I need refreshen my skills on hair because I'm not really happy at this ones turned out. Okay now it is time for me to go to bed. I think I will probably needs a Starbucks run in the morning so that I am not a zombie at work with the 3.5 of sleep I'm going to get tonight. Thanks for stoppping by and have a wonderful day!

Farm Fresh Friday Challenge
Happy Friday all! This is my last TGF post as a DT member. I've had to step down due to higher work load at my job and tyring to balance that with family life. TGF was my very first DT exposure and to be part of such a growing and talented company and group of gals has just been amazing. Thank you Marie and Jess for giving this opportunity. I have enjoyed every minute of it. Even the late late night ones. LOL. I can't even begin to express how much I appreciate all the support and even more so the friendships that have been made mean to me. I know I'm going to anticipate seeing the new releases every month and the weekly challenges. When time allows...I will play along too. Thanks to all the customers and followers of The Greeting for your support and all your kind words on my creations. I really appreciate it.
Now onto the challenge, the talented Farmer Mercy has given us a fabulous sketch to with this week. Here is my card:
I used the boy from this month's Sweet & Toxic set. Isn't he a feast for the eyes? When I was coloring him I had the song "Send me an Angel" by Real Life running through my head. I guess that is why I was drawn to the Tim Holtz music paper. Some of the other papers are Graphics 45 and My Mind's Eye. I popped this guy on pop dots and glue his wings to th ebase to give a little more dimension.
Thank you for visiting me today. Now go see what the rest of the DT listed in my sidebar has for your eyes to feast on.

Farm Fresh Friday Goes Old School
Sorry my post is late...I thought I had it all ready to go...apparently that wasn't the case.
"TGF is goin' OLD SCHOOL! In honor of Back to School time, we thought we'd do a traditional "Back to School" challenge until Jess and Marie decided, why not go OLD SKOOL?
So here's the deal.
In order to be considered truly OLD SCHOOL, it's easier to limit the stamps to what you cannot use vs. what you can: You CANNOT use:
*Wild Sprouts
*Cheeky Cherry collection
*Oliver/Amelia Stamps
*Creepers or Creepy Cakes
*Any Anya AFTER the release of WILD WEST ANYA (Spring/Summer 09)
*Any Ian AFTER the releases of SKATER IAN (Spring 09)
*Miss Anyas/My Guy Ians
*Any Critter Crew images
*Grandparents/Darling Sisters
If you have specific questions, you can email Jessica at teamanya@gmail.com. Please take note of the different email address JUST for these inquiries-I get so many emails that I just don't want to miss your questions!
Just think OLD SCHOOL. Older the better :)
For my card I used Angel Anya with some slight modification. She lost her wings and halo and I added in a few extensions where the wings were. LOL. I colored this lovely with copics and paired her some fabulous Cosmo Cricket paper. I paper pieced her dress and bow. Then I added a few flowers, buttons, and pearls to draw your eyes around the card.
This contest will be opened for a few weeks. The winner of this contest will be crowned OLD SCHOOL CHAMP and receive the ENTIRE October release along with an old, smelly pair of Converse All-Stars aka Chuck Taylors!! (ok, KIDDING on the latter prize!)
A runner up will ALSO win a 4x6 set of their choice! This will be a random contest, but hey, why not a runner up too? :)
The contest winner will be announced on Monday, September September 27th during a October Preview post. That's a lot of time, so get busy and get OLD SCHOOL! You have until Sunday, Sept 26th at 8pm CST to enter your card to TGF Galleria> Contests/Challenges>OLD SKOOL
Thanks for visitig and have a fabulous weekend!

Halloween Release Day at the Farm
I'm baaaa-ack and boy do I have a cutie for you! This is Ian and he is dressed up like a skeleton for Halloween. He is also available in The Greeting Farm store today. Just in time for your Halloween projects. As always I used my copics to color Ian. I paired him with some more Pink Paislee paper and the skull paper is form My Mind's Eye. How perfect is that?
Well as you may know there are some treats and possible a few tricks hidden on the farm. Are you going to be the lucky person to get a treat? The only way to find out is hop along the DT and Club Anya Midnight train to Halloween town.
Thanks for stopping by today now on with the hop. Here is the list.

The Farm is Getting Ready for Halloween Preview
Please scroll down for my Sparkle Creations Challenge post.
Can you believe Halloween is around the corner? Where has this year gone? Do you and/or your little ones have costumes picked out? What was your favorite costume as a kid? I had a knack for mish-mashing costumes. One year I dressed up as a witch but had rainbow clown hair coming out of my hat. I wish I had a picture of that. Then the another year I think I wore one of those plastic smocks that had a smurf body on it with a King Kong mask. Those costumes must have been hand-me downs from cousins because I'm sure my parents wouldn't have bought two fits. Now that I have my own house we always hand out a snack pack of Sour Patch Kids and Swedish fish. The kids just love those. We normally have about 150 kids come to the nighborhood.
Okay back to the real reason you are here. The Greeting Farm is releasing Halloween Digis on Wednesday and the DT wanted to bring you some inspiration with all those peeks that you saw earlier on the Farm blog. My card uses a Creeper Halloween Bride. Isn't she just a scream? This is my first green skin and I must say that I really like how it turned out. I paired this ghoulish gal with some fabby Pink Paiselee paper. I did add some Clear Stardust gelly roll to the white part of her hair. Of course that was a bit hard to capture on camera.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please join us tomorrow for some Halloween Release day fun. In the mean time go visit the rest of the Farmers listed in my sidebar for some more sweet treat inspirations.

Farm Fresh Friday Challenge Gets Movin'
Please scroll down for my Sparkle Creation release day card.
This week's challenge is brought to you by the super awsome Farmer Melyssa and it is called "You Move Me' Challenge add something to the card that moves. Could be a flower that spins, shaker box, slider card or maybe a tag that pulls out. Anything that will move! For my card I made a compass to guide little Oliver on his trails. The compass needle actually spins. I colored Oliver with copics.
I also wanted to show my scrapbook page for the scrapbook sketch challenge. I was a bit late in getting it now. My daughter is 1.5 in that picture. She is 4 yo now.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please visit the rest of the team as listed in my sidebar. Have a wonderful weekend.

Farm Fresh Friday "Rule of 3's on the 3rd"
Happy Friday all! Boy am I ready for a long weekend. Not only will I have Friday off but I will also have Monday off. Woohoo! Although we are keeping an eye on Hurricane Earl's path, I think the weekend will actually end up being nice and below 90. This summer has been soooo hot and I'll be happy for the cooler fall weather.
This week's challenge at the Greeting Farm blog is the Rule of Threes. You must use three designer papers and three different types of embellishments. For my card I used Cheeky Mate of the Cheeky Cherry Collection. I love her vintage look. So for my three's I used three colors: red, white, and blue. I used three designer papers: the blue stars on the red background, the USA panel, and the blue firework paper is in the flowers. My three embellishments: handmade paper flowers, silver brads, and a scallop edge. I also made three flowers and the background and cross panel are made of three layers. I love THREE. It is my favorite number.
Well I hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend. Thank you for visiting me. Don't forget to visit the rest of the Fabulous Farmers and Cute Critter Crew. You can find links to their blogs in my sidebar.

Farm Fresh Friday Sketch and a Preview
Hey everyone!
SWEET SEPTEMBER is ALMOST here! You know what that means?
It's time for another Farm Fresh Friday challenge but we have a SPECIAL treat for you today...and it's just as SWEET as it is TOXIC??? Yep, you guessed it...we are previewing a BRAND NEW set "Sweet and Toxic" to release this coming Wednesday, September 1st at The Greeting Farm!
EXCITED? Well, perhaps you'll be even MORE excited to know that our new CREEPER CREW sets are going to be released as 4x6 stamp sets WITH sentiments! How SWEET is that? You're probably noticing that all of this is just a LITTLE more sweet than toxic, huh?
Well let's show off these sassy new additions with some cards from the Farmers using Mercy's sketch as your challenge this week on the TGF Blog:
And here's my card:
I colored the image with copics and dusted the eyes and cheeks with some chalks. I think the papers are something like Market Street 29. I had to some more of those fun circle flowers. The best part of them is you can make them the size you need and use your left over scraps to make them coordinate. Pretty cool. I mostly stuck with shades of grey and purple. Since there was a splash of green in the stripe paper I colored the Creeper's eyes a similar shade.
Be sure to stop by the TGF Blog today to see all of the creations the FARMERS have for you and be sure to stop by the CA&F Blog tomorrow for MORE previews and an announcement!
One more announcement here on the TGF Farmer Front...today we sadly say a (bitter)SWEET goodbye to two of our dear, dear Farmers, Kadie and Cindy :( WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Please I need tissues I'm a mess. It's hard to believe these two beautiful souls have been Farmer's for a year already, isn't it? Parting is SWEET sorrow, indeed, and I'm not just saying that :( On behalf of Marie, Jess, and ALL of TGF, we say a SUPER DUPER Thank you to these two wonderful ladies and just KNOW that you'll never be FAR from the Farm! Best of luck and THANK YOU. for EVERYTHING.
As for our little challenge today?
Upload your card/creation using Mercy's sketch to the TGF Galleria>Contests/Challenges>FFF>Mercy Sketch 8-27
The winner of this week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge will WIN the new "Sweet and Toxic" set! I'll see you back here on MONDAY with another SWEET preview, and this all leads up to our RELEASE DAY DT blog hop in which there will be prizes....LOTS of prizes :) Our "SWEET SEPTEMBER" DT Blog Hop will include the Farmers, Team Anya, and our Critter Crew! We can't wait to hop into another fun filled month at TGF with you!
Until then...hope your day is a little less toxic, and a LOT more Sweet!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous weekend. Now go check out the rest of the team!

Farm Fresh Friday Color Splash
It is challenge day on the Greeting Farm Blog. Today we have a color challenge for you. Green, Blue, and Orange. For my card I used Oliver from the My Favorite Things Set. Isn't he adorable? Don't spill the fish water Oliver! I colored the image with copics and paired him with this fun Little Yellow Bicycle paper. I also used my Tim Holtz tiny attacher to adhere the SU ribbon. The felt star is from Making Memories. The plain cardstock is Papertry Ink and Stampin' Up.

Farm Fresh Friday - What's your lucky number?
Happy Friday 13th! Thank you for joining me on my first post for today. I have three so stay tuned for the rest. This week's Farm Fresh challenge is to incorporate numbers into your card. I know mine is a bit cryptic, but I love odd numbers and my favorite of them is 3. As you can see I have 3 panels, 3 flowers, and 3 buttons. I think three is just right. It isn't too much and it isn't too little. Two heads are better than one, except when you can't agree. Then it is good to have that third head. Plus things always happens in threes. Do you have a lucky number?
My card uses the Cheeky Cherry Nurse and I think that I will give it to the DH since our 11 year anniversary is coming up at the end of the month. It is hard to believe that it has been that long. We have actually been together for 20 years. What can I say...high school sweethearts. I know...awwwww. Well back to the card I used some more American Craft paper and colored this Cheeky up with copics. In fact this is one of the images I colored up when Kadie and Sandra came to visit.
Thank you for stopping by today. I have to update my DT list, but please go check out the res tof the girls. You can find them on The Greeting Farm Blog. Have a fabulous day!

The Greeting Farm Scraps
Please scroll down for my Sparkle Creations sneak peek.
Happy Thursday all! I'm back with another post and this one is in an area out of my comfort zone...scrapbook pages. For this 8x8 scrapbook page I decided to create a page around my favorite subject, my daughter. Here she picking strawberries for the first time. I took her this past spring and she had lots of fun. Although I think she enjoyed her ice cream sandwich more than picking the strawberries. For my page I used My Mind's Eye papers and Amelia from the My Fav Thing set. The sentiment is from the Spotlight Kit. Farmer Mercy created the fabulous sketch for the scrap page challenge.
We hope you will get out your pictures and play along with us. For more details and DT inspiration check out the Greeting Farm blog. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please join me tomorrow for Farm Fresh Friday. Hvae a super day.

The Greeting Farm Celebration Hop!
Please scroll down for my Claudia & Company release hop post.
It's release day at The Greeting Farm and that means ALL new releases-Creepers, Flirty, Later Sk8er and Rachel's Cupcake digi are all now available in the store, AND since we are celebrating TWO years of cuteness on the farm we are having a HUGE customer blog hop that starts at The Greeting Farm blog. We are also chatting on PCP from 7-8 pm CST. You can get to know the DT and ask any questions your little heart desires. The Farm really likes to get to know it's customers too.
Okay so I'll keep it short since I know there are A LOT of blogs to get too. First off Congrats to Marie for another successful year. May many more come your way. Thanks Jess for not only being the best DT Coordinator ever, but also for your friendship. Thanks to the DT for all your amazing inspiration and too, your friendship. I am honored to be working with all of you.
Now for my card I used Creeper Friday. Isn't she just so cool? I also used the other Farm Fresh Friday Challenge Sketch. We would love it if you could play along this week. I colored Miss Friday up with copics and paired her with some My Mind's eye, Cosmo Cricket, October Afternoon, and Basic Grey paper. I free hand cut circles and smooshed them to create the flowers. I think I'll be using that technique again. I really like how those turned out. Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of the hop!

L8R SK8R
Hey Everyone! As promised, I'm back for another RAD preview from The Greeting Farm! We are SO excited to bring you another preview today, a new 4x6 sheet featuring a Miss Anya AND a My Guy Ian: "Later Sk8R" This adorable and hip new set will be available for purchase beginning on Sunday, August 1st! It's been a WHILE since we did either one of these beloved characters in rubber, so the BUZZ is all about the Farm that this is one FUN set!
Today we are also teaming up, Farmers and Team Anya alike for another sample soiree! Today it's OUR turn to play along w/ Team Anya using a FABULOUS Saturday Sketch challenge by Pam!
Here's the sketch:
My card uses Anya from the L8R SK8R set. I colored her with copics and paired her with various October Afternoon papers. For some reason when I did my card, the squares didn't register and I thought they were two panels on either side. That is what happens when you try to rely on your memory and you are tired. As you can see I rotated and flipped the sketch so that the button are on the right hand side.
Be sure to head on over toClub Anya & Friends for all the details of how to play along this week, and be sure to visit ALL the DT's blogs because ONE LUCKY COMMENTER on the Club Anya and Friend's blog today will WIN THIS SET!!!
