Sassy Suzi Sprout Day

It's Sassy Suzi Sprout Day!!!!! Do you remember the contest on The Greeting Farm to Design your own Sprout? Kim Yu won with her drawing of Sassy Suzi! What a wonderful image!!!! Kim will be participating with us and even has a Sassy Suzi to give away to a random commenter, courtesy of The Greeting Farm.

Sassy Suzi inspired me also! I made several projects with her. First, I made a card. Suzi is colored with copic markers. I coordinated her outfit with my K&Co. design paper. I used PTI cardstock and lots of glitter glue.

I found some daily planners in the Target dollar section. I used PTI cardstock, K&Co. DP, and glitter glue for Suzi. I measured my planner and built my design around it. I then laminated the cover and attached it to the planner with the super hold red tape. I like how they turned out. I colored Suzi to be a brunette and a blonde. I really love how much each project changes just by coloring the image different. Hope you enjoyed my projects and make sure to visit all of the Design Team and Kim Yu too!

Robyn's Fetish Saturday Challenge

The Robyn's Fetish challenge this week is to make a penny spinner card. There are several good tutorials on this technique. My favorite came from Splitcoast Stampers. I chose the bee from the Robyn's Fetish store and colored him with Copic markers. I used K& Co. paper. My spinner is several Prima flowers and when you tip the card the flowers spin down the channel. Make sure to visit the rest of the Design Team and see what they created for this challenge.

Black Friday Surprise from The Greeting Farm

When I found out The Greeting Farm was releasing ten, yes 10, new digital stamps I was amazed. The images are called Chibis and are they ever cute!!!! I designed with the drink Chibi. I am from the Southwest and to me she looks like she is holding a margerita. Every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas my Father makes margaritas, it's out tradition. I love seeing him ready the blender and drinking a drink out of a cute little glass. He is a beer man usually! So, I made my Chibi using him as inspiration. I colored her with Copics and embellished her with glitter glue. I made a cart and covered it with K&Co. paper. I added a little umbrella and a banner. I am envisioning this as a centerpiece to a drink station for a party or get together.

Make sure to visit all of the Design Team to see all their Chibi creations!

My House Pillow Box

I made a pillow box and added the versitile stamp from the My House Collection from The Greeting Farm. A gift card to a home improvement store would fit nicely in this box allowing the recepient to purchase a few new things for their new home. I colored the image with copics. I used a border punch, brad, felt ribbon, twine and a button to embellish the box. I used K&Co paper. I think that this would be a lovely gift for someone moving into a new home!

Robyn's Fetish Wacky Wednesday

It's time for Robyn's Fetish Wacky Wednesday. Robyn's Fetish gives you a free digital stamp and this week you can get the Denise digital image at the Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. This image will be free for the next week and then you can purchase it through the Robyn's Fetish Store.

Fairies New Digital Stamps

Have you seen the new fairies from The Greeting Farm? They are digital stamps. As soon as I saw that there was a fairy for each season I knew what I had to make...a calendar box. The calendar box is a combination of easel card and box. The box has a drawer which allows the various headers to be stored when not in use. Each of the seasonal fairies has a strip of velcro on the back to allow them to be changed out with the season. I used Basic Grey paper and lots of different embellishments. The most difficult thing about this project was keeping it balenced on such a small scale. I did not want it to look busy but, I also wanted it to be interesting. I am really proud of how this turned out. I made it for my daughter as a gift but, I am having a hard time parting with it!

Janet McDonnell New digital stamps

You have to check out the new digital stamps by Janet McDonnell by The Greeting Farm. They are awesome. I had a blast coloring them. I used A+ Anna and Gothic Roxy to make this CD card I designed for my daughter. I made a joy fold card that fit into the insert of the CD case on the one side. On the other side I created a tag holder so that I could write a message. I colored the images with Copic markers and used the Girlfriend collection from Cosmo Cricket for the DP.

Twinkle Tots Madelynn

Isn't Madelynn just the cutest? These Twinkle Tots stamps from The Greeting Farm are so much fun!!!! Madelynn is colored with Copic markers. I used Basic Grey paper and PTI cardstock. She is embellished with a ribbon, button and leaf charm. I also added a chipboard photo corner.

Robyn's Fetish Saturday Challenge

The Robyn's Fetish challenge this week is to make a card that is shabby chic or vintage. I went the shabby chic route. I noticed when researching this on the internet that shabby chic uses lots of sewing, ribbon and buttons. I chose the adorable girl with stocking from the Robyn's Fetish store and colored her with Copic markers. I added stitching to all the layers and finished it off with two types of ribbon and a button.

Make sure to visit the rest of the Design Team and see what they created with this challenge.

The Greeting Farm Farm Fresh Friday

The Farm Fresh Friday Challenge this week is to make a card without using any design paper. Very tough. I decided to make a card using Max who is one of the Twinkle Tots stamps.

I used my PTI cardstock and added interest by using border punches, a star paper clip, and rivets. I colored Max with Copic markers. I also stiched around the card.

Make sure and visit the rest of the Design team to see what they created for this challenge.

Twinkle Tots Ava

Here is another version of little Ava a Twinkle Tot stamp from The Greeting Farm. I colored her with Copic markers and place her atop PTI cardstock and K&Co. paper. This card is much bolder than the last one I made with the same image. Lots of layering and a ribbon and star charm for good measure.

Paper Pixie Challenge

Welcome to the first Paper Pixie Challenge. The challenge this week is to add texture to your project. I used the Santa image and added flocking. I admit this is my first time using flocking. I am a convert. I colored Santa and his friends with Copic markers and added dimentionals to make it pop on my treat box. This box holds a packet of cocoa and a bag full of holiday candy. I printed out the Santa image much smaller and used it as a seal for my cocoa packet wrapper. I also decorated a clothes pin to add interest and allow the recepient to have a little gift left over after all the goodies are gone.

Make sure and visit the rest of the Design Team members to see what they have created. To learn more about the challenge go to the Paper Pixies Challenge Blog. The winner of the challenge gets the entire Christmas Confetti release!!!!!

I'm the Queen

I used Ava one of the adorable The Greeting Farm Twinkle Tots for my card. I colored her up with Copic markers and added a little shimmer to her shoes with glitter glue. I embellished my card with rhinestones, ribbon and a heart charm. She reminds me so much of my daughter. I have a picture of her when she was little dressed up as Sleeping Beauty for Halloween.

Sit back, relax and craft!
