So are you ready for TGF's last day of preview for the January Release?!!  As I mentioned yesterday, this one is a super SWEET one as as the star of today is the adorable "Sweetie Bean"!!!!

And here she is... 

What a sweetie!!!! :) The "Bean" collection has always been a favorite of mine and this one is as adorable as all of the others!  Isn't her garland of hearts too cute?!!!  When I was creating my card, I immediately thought of Valentine's Day coming up  and found this background paper from the collection Love Note by Fancy Pants.  I thought she would look so cute flying from this heart tree like she picked the hearts on her garland from the tree itself!  I decided to paper piece this little gal's outfit and her hearts. I also added some glitter to her wings to give her more shimmer.  I thought she came out so cute!  "Sweetie Bean" will be released at The Greeting Farm store on 1/1/2014.  Please check out The Greeting Farm Blog to see other design team projects for the "Sweetie Bean" preview.  Each day, they will be giving away the preview stamp of that day so make sure to visit the TGF blog and leave comments today so you can own "Sweet Bean"!

So I have such a growing collection of The Greeting Farm stamps and some digi images but I have to admit that this is my 1st "Frou Frou" gal!  Oh my goodness, she is so fun and adorable to create with!  I just really love this image and will be getting more of this collection whenever they hit the store!   For "Frou Frou Believe", I love how she looks like a sweet fairy godmother waiting to grant you all of your most special wishes and dreams!  We can all use some of these wishes for the New Year, 2014, right?!! :)  After deciding to color her up in multi-colors, I also added some stickles in "Diamond" to her hearts and bows to give her some added shimmer. The fun paper collection I used to match this fantasy theme is called "Childish" by Fancy Pants.  I also love the sentiment "Just Believe" which comes with this stamp set.   "Frou Frou Believe" will be released at The Greeting Farm store on 1/1/2014.  Please check out The Greeting Farm Blog to see other design team projects for the "Frou Frou Believe" preview.  Each day, they will be giving away the preview stamp of that day so make sure to visit the TGF blog and leave comments today so you can own this super adorable stamp set!

Hello Friends!!!  I have some very exciting news to share which I've been dying to share for the last few weeks!  I  have joined "The Farm" and am now officially part of The Greeting Farm 2014 Design Team!!! Oh my goodness, I am still pinching myself to make sure this is  all real!  The Greeting Farm actually started my love for coloring with their adorable images and today, TGF is still my very favorite stamp line!  This is so very special for me and I want to give a shout out to Jessica and Marie for giving me this awesome opportunity!

Isn't Anya so sweet?!! What is so cool is that she actually comes in a 4x6 stamp set which has 2 other darling images!!! I love her hair and had so much fun coloring her up with my copics.  Isn't she so pretty in blue?!!! :)  She is so perfect for so many occasions and I'm already thinking about how she'll look in another card design with different colors! The fun paper collection is called "Hello Summer" by Echo Park. I love the bright colors which go with her dress.   I also whipped out my TGF "Delicate Words" die set and thought "Hello" was perfect for her debut!  "Miss Anya Night Out" will be released at The Greeting Farm store on 1/1/2014.  Please check out The Greeting Farm Blog to see other design team projects for the "Miss Anya Night Out" preview.  Each day, they will be giving away the preview stamp of that day so make sure to visit the TGF blog and leave comments today .  This adorable stamp set can be yours! :)

Is everyone having a good week?  I had a nice long weekend because I took off Friday from work to enjoy a Junior Lifeguard competition which my sons were in.  It was such a beautiful and fun day and both Ryan and Noah did awesome!  There's also a lot of festivities going on this weekend.  I found myself straying away from my house cleaning which really should have been priority for this long weekend! LOL  Anyways, I did have a chance to work on some projects for this week including this one for the LR Blog Hop!

Here is my card...

Yes, another image from my favorite stamp company, The Greeting Farm. This one is called "Birthday Anya II" and she was just added to the store recently so I thought it was perfect timing in creating a Birthday card for a friend.  Plus this image is another favorite of mine.  I mean she's a TGF image first of all and who doesn't love cupcakes??!!! :) After stamping this cutie up with my Memento ink in Black Tuxedo, I colored her up with my Copic Sketch markers.  I paper pieced her dress with some design papers called "Sweet Afternoon" by Teresa Collins.  I edged all of my papers in Pumice Stone.  Now the fun part was the cupcake.  After coloring my cupcake, I left the frosting blank and added some glue and then my dazzling diamonds over that to give it some shimmer.  Not sure if you can tell in the picture but it looks so sparkly up close!  I then wanted to add some sprinkles to the cupcake so I added some mini pink pearls from Recollections.  Doesn't that cupcake look so yummy?!!! I laid cute Anya on some layered Spellbinders called Lacey Circles Large.  I then added some roses and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts which I sprayed up with my Tattered Angels "Iridescent Gold" to give it some pretty sparkle. The "Enjoy" sentiment is also from The Greeting Farm and part of a set called "Delicate Words" Die set.  

I'm actually entering this card in all of The Greeting Farm challenges going on this week!  What can i say, it actually fits all so wish me luck! :)
The Greeting Farm FFF Challenge-Punches and/or Dies
The Greeting Farm July Retro Fresh Challenge-Cupcakes and Sprinkles
