TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge: A Warm Hello!

 

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!!!  This week just flew by for me and I'm so happy the weekend is now here.  Doesn't it seem like as you get older, time moves so much faster?!

Well it definitely has been a hot summer in Cali for us and although I do love Summer as my favorite season, I am looking forward to Fall and the Holidays coming right around the corner.  This week's theme is here to get you all in the mood for the next season.  How about some Fall Colors?!!! :)  

Here's my card...

I used the cute little boy from the new set Winter Kindness just because he is so super adorable and I couldn't wait to color him up with my copics.  I also played with my distress inks to color up the circle background and also decided to use some bright Fall papers.  The fun sentiment "A Warm Hello" comes from this fun set and I just moved the words around to make it fit better with my layout.  

Please check out The Greeting Farm blog to see the beautiful Fall cards from  the DT Girls!  Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by! :)

Hugs,

Marcy

The Greeting Farm September 2014 Release Day: Merry Christmas Blog Hop!

Hello Friends!

Today is September 1st and the adorable holiday  NEW RELEASES are now available in the TGF Store!!!

We welcome Holiday Anya 4, Dollie with Gifts and Winter Greetings/Winter Kindness into the TGF collection and we are so excited to celebrate with you all!

Here is my final September 2014 Release Day card...

Since the Holiday Anya collection is one of my favorites of all time and I just love Holiday Anya 4, I couldn't resist creating another fun Christmas card with her as the star! :)  I challenged myself to again use non-traditional colors since I know I'll be making a ton of traditional cards using this sweet gal when the holidays comes around!  I also love royal blue, red and white together and decided to color her up with my copics in those colors.  I think Anya came out pretty cute and I had fun adding lots of my Wink of Stella in glitter clear to her clothes and glossy accents to the ornaments and star on the tree.   I did some embossing on the card base and then decided to also add some Christmas papers.   I found some royal blue ribbon and matching sequins in my stash at home to finish off my card.  I hope you all like it! :) 

Before we begin today's hop, we have a few special announcements.  We are welcoming ROSEMARY BRIDGES as our DT Coordinator and JONI WILSON as our Guest DT Coordinator/Special Project leader and we are so thrilled!  Jessica will still remain on the farm in some other capacities, but in her own words, she couldn't be more excited about these special ladies.  They have wonderful energy and will do an amazing job in their duties and are also two of the most talented crafters as well!   I'm so excited to work with Rosemary and Joni as well since I've always been a big fan of both of them and their gorgeous TGF creations!   There's more on the blog from Jess about these new changes, but for now... let's get hoppin'!

One lucky winner who visits all of the DT's blogs, comments, and comments on the TGF Blog that they "hopped" along will take home the ENTIRE SEPTEMBER RELEASE!  Wowzers, that's soooooo awesome, right?!!!

I just feel that these embellishments really finish off my cards and I just love the look of them!  So with that being said, I used all of them for my card! :)  Be sure the check out the TGF Blog to see what favorite embellies the other DT Farmers like to use on their beautiful creations!

Love this new Dollie with Gifts and so happy we now have a "Christmas" Dollie in the collection!  This stamp set is loaded with lots of goodies including several sentiments and the cute Christmas Tree image you see in the background.  I thought it would be fun to emboss these trees in bright white to make it look like a Winter Wonderland! :)   I am really into making my own backgrounds lately so I had so much fun making this card!  Of course, sweet Dollie is just the cutest! :)

The Greeting Farm September Preview Day #1: Joy for Holiday Anya 4!

Hi Friends!  I'm so excited that today starts the previews for the The Greeting Farm's September 2014 Release!!!  And they're here just in time to get started for the holidays.  I'm sure you're gonna just love all of them.  So today, we are showcasing an adorable holiday stamp called Holiday Anya 4!

Here's my card for you today... 

The Holiday Anya collection is one of my favorites and I love every image!  This one is just sooooo cute and she's now at the top of my list!....My Christmas card list for sure!!! :)  Love how this one has a cute Christmas tree to embellish!  I had so much fun coloring cute Anya up with my copics and kept it simple with making this CAS card.  I wanted to use some bright festive colors and added some polka dots with my gel pen to her headband and dress.  I also added some glossing accents to the ornaments and of course couldn't go without using my favorite Wink of Stella in glitter clear over her outfit. I did some stenciling on the botton of my card which I thought looked pretty cool.  I also added some enamel dots and twine to finish off my card. 

Holiday Anya 4 will be released at The Greeting Farm store on 9/1/2014.  Please check out The Greeting Farm Blog as well as each of my fellow DT gals (Chitra, Lysa, Jodi and Kristina) to see their projects for the Holiday Anya 4 preview.   Each day, they will be giving away the preview stamp of that day so make sure to leave comments today so you can own this super adorable stamp set!
