Hi everyone!  I took a moment the other day to play with some new (to me) images from The Greeting Farm.  They’re so sweet.

Missing You

This is one of the “dressy” Miss Anyas.  (I keep wanting to call her “fancy” instead of “dressy.”) 

I colored my Anya with Copics and used Prismacolor pencils for the ground.   I layered the flower trim over my favorite crocheted chocolate trim. (LOVE it!  You can find it here.)  I hung the sentiment from a safety pin clipped to the trims and then tied a bit of organdy through the pin. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi everyone. 🙂

I’m filling in for Julia’s WT Challenge today at Splitcoast.  I thought it might be fun to jazz up our sentiments.  The idea is to add bling or switch out a letter or word in a sentiment with a different object.  It can be a small, subtle change or a big whammy…whichever you prefer.  🙂  Challenge info (here).

…Please put on your sunglasses…

Bringing you Sunshine

I placed a bright yellow brad in the ‘o’ of ‘you’, turning it into a little sun. 

The girl’s outfit was paper-pieced with the ends of her top and scarf bent up a bit to add some dimension.

 My bright paper is from Basic Grey’s June Bug line from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.  Looks like she’s sold out of it BUT she does have new Basic Grey Eerie and Eskimo Kisses, My Mind’s Eye, Prima, Making Memories, Pink Paislee and more. AND she’s having a 25% off EVERYTHING sale through Monday, October 5th!  Simply use code FALL (all caps) at checkout. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  🙂

Stamps:  The Greeting Farm “Hope & Grace”   Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black   Cardstock: Prism Mystic Dark, Super Smooth White   Patterned Paper:  Basic Grey June Bug 6×6 paper pad   Accessories:  Copic markers (E000, E00, R20, E33, E35, E37, Y02, Y08, Y21), Spellbinders Nestabilities, My Favorite Things dotted ribbon, button, white string, Recollections mini-brad, slot punch, 1 ¼”, 1 3/8” and scallop circle punches, dimensional boosters.  Finished size 5 ½” x 5 ½”.

I am totally loving these Greeting Farm images.  I don’t know why I like the hippy ones so much.  Maybe it’s my inner-self yearning to be “hip” and “cool.”  lol.  I’ve been getting my Greeting Farm images from Hope Stamps Eternal and I see that there’s a 20% off sale through Sunday, August 2nd.  WOOHOO!

Hey

As usual, I used Copics to color the image.  (What did I ever do before I had them???)  Over the dots of her headband and necklace, I used a black 3-d gel pen.   I love the result!

That gorgeous crocheted lace can be found here (along with a great deal on dimensional boosters and other sticky stuff here).

I created my flower embellishment using McGill’s Petite Petals punch.  I bent up the petals on the top flower just a bit then tied black twine through a red button, adhering the embellishment to the lace with a big glue dot. 

The sentiment is clear embossed over black ink to help it stand out more on the patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Stamps:  The Greeting Farm “Hippie Anya,” sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms “Little Boy”  (Kim Hughes Collection)   Ink:  Adirondack Pitch Black   Cardstock:  Prism Island Mist Dark, Candle Glow Dark, Natural Smooth   Patterned Paper:  Cosmo Cricket Early Bird   Accessories:  Copic markers (E000, E00, R20, E31, E33, E35, BG49, B32, YG95, YR23, R27, B0000), black Sakura 3-d gel pen, clear embossing powder, May Arts crocheted lace, black twine, McGill Petite Petals punch, button, pop dots.  Finished size 5 ½” x 5 ½”.

TGIF!   Today I had to take a bit of time to play with another of my new Greeting Farm stamps (before the newER ones arrive).

Peace

I thought this Peace image would go well with Basic Grey’s new bright and funky June Bug paper.   The image is a bit large so my card is as well…5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.

The super-wide ribbon was a gift from my friend, Jody, image from Hope Stamps Eternal, and paper and buttons from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.   For a very light background color, I used one of the new lightest Copic markers (from Eclectic Paperie). 

And contrary to what my children think, she did NOT pee in her pants. That’s SHADING.  **eyes rolling**

I’m off to get ready for a pep rally (Rah! Rah! lol).  One more week and I get to sleep in past 6.  Can’t wait. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi everyone!  I recently picked up a few more Greeting Farm images from Hope Stamps Eternal.  I thought I’d try to use at least one of them before too much dust accumulated.  I have several deadlines looming but hopefully it won’t be too terribly long before I can use the others.

You Warm My Heart

I paired this Snuggle image with October Afternoon’s “Ducks in a Row.”  (Love that paper.)

I’m off to bed as I’ll be up with the paper boy (not literally-ha!) in the very early a.m. on my way to a swim meet.  Poor kids have to be in the water by 6:10.  (Better them than me!)   Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi everyone!  It’s just about Friday!  🙂  

We have our first swim meet this weekend.  It’s actually Time Trials so it’s really a “kind of” meet, but we’re excited to see how well the kids do (ours and their friends).  This is our daughter’s first time on the team so we’re super excited to see her swim.  I’m not too excited to be at the pool by 6:30 a.m. though.  But who knows.  If our woodpecker is doing his usual pecking on the gutter, we might be up even earlier than necessary.  (Insert expletives.)

Here is another of The Greeting Farm’s latest (I think) Anya images, Rain, Snow, Shine. 

You Warm My Heart

I added a few little cross-stitches here and there and used a clear gel pen on her sunglasses so they’re nice and shiny. 

Once I had taken the photo of this card, I decided the red ribbon was too thin in comparison to the card size so I added the wider lace underneath.  Unfortunately, I had stitched the button to the patterned paper so I cut the lace down the middle and glued each half just under the ribbon’s edges.  (Creative altering.)

I have one more image from this trio yet to be inked…Snow.   Soon…. soon. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hi everyone!  Super-quick post today!  We’re off to the Desert Museum this morning.  (I just love that place.  Hopefully I’ll have some pictures to share once I’m home.)

Thanks

I was finally able to find some Anya stamps in stock at Hope Stamps Eternal.  I just love them!  And I used my new Pink Paislee paper from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.  (I think it’s gorgeous!)
