Farm Fresh Friday

Time for another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge from the Greeting Farm. Wow! This one was tough for me. I always choke when presented with a color challenge. The challenge is to use the colors avocado, chocolate, aqua and white. I made a box and designed acetate boxes to fit into the openings. If I said figuring out the acetate boxes was easy, I would be lying. Every once in a while my substandard math skills reach around and bite me in the hiney. This was one of those times. But hey, I conquered it and now I feel victorious:) I made this box using the super cute Sweet Message stamps that were designed by Marina Neira! I colored them in the challenge colors with my Copics. The box is made out of Bazzil cardstock with Cosmo Cricket DP. I added dimentionals, green rhinestones, aqua buttons, and chocolate ribbons to finish my project. I can't wait to see what you make this week. Remember to visit all the Design Team and see how this challenge inspired them!

Pixie Dust Studios Challenge

The Pixie Dust Studio Challenge this week is to use the colors brown, cream and gold to create a card. It was tough! I made a card using the new Forrest Friends stamps. I colored them to resemble sepia toned photos and used a setiment of remember. I found this wonderful felt ribbon and added it to the DP from American Crafts and Bazzil cardstock. A PTI button was added for embelishment. Make sure and check out the rest of the DT to see what they created for the challenge!!!

Have fun and GOOD LUCK! And don't forget, the releases are ALL available now in the TGF Store! Have a great day and happy shopping!

I can't wait to share my projects with you. I love these stamps so much I couldn't stop once I got started!!! I used the Outdoorsy set to make this box and this is the largest box I have ever made!!! I colored the foxes with Copic markers. Cardstock is from Bazzil and the DP is K&Co.. I added felt ribbon, buttons from PTI, and twine to make this box a little more rugged. This box will hold four cupcakes or a gift.

I then used the Sweet Message set to create two cards one for the guys and one for the girls. Both images are colored with Copics. I used PTI cardstock and Basic Grey DP. I made my little girl a redhead and used my favorite colors in the world...pink and green. I just know she would have green eyes:) The best thing about coloring The Greeting Farm images is watching them come to life. It begins with the first stroke of the marker. I fall in love with each one and to me they all have personalities. Maybe I have been leaving the caps off my Copics too long:)

Have a wonderful Hop everyone!!!!

Elizabeth's New Images from The Greeting Farm

The Greeting Farm has three adorable new stamps that were designed by Elizabeth-Library Mouse, Reading Fairy, Victorian Reader. I made two different projects with each for Christmas gifts. I have a family of readers! First I created a magnetic bookmark. I designed this so that the bookmark has a flap and concealed under the flap is a setiment "make a wish" and the magnet to hold the books pages. I also made a notebook using a jr. legal pad cut in half. You can write notes or even the books you have read in the notebooks. The book I am reading now is the Dome by Stephen King. It is a wonderful book and you get alot for your money (over 1000 pages)!
Make sure to stop by all of the Design Team member's blogs and check out their creations!
