TGF Blog Hop Monday

What an exciting day...a blog hop for customers, fans, followers...for all lovers of TGF images!

I've been toying with the idea to make a TGF mini calendar for the past year and finally decided that it was time to put all those colored images that have sitting around to good use. I printed Cat's 2012 Mini Calendar template from SCS for the actual calendar...how sweet that she offers this freebie every year?!! There are lots of embellies and glitter on this 5' x 5.5" mini and I only wish the pictures showed more of the details.















Don't forget that there are THREE grand prizes: one in each category of "holiday" and "general" project categories and the 3rd to one person who isn't participating but just hopping and leaves a comment at all the destinations :) The ENTIRE Jan. release is up for grabs!!!!

Now....head back to the master list over at the TGF blog to see who's next on the hop list. I promise I'll be heading to all the blogs this evening after I get home from work because I can't wait to see all the cards and projects that everyone has made just for this hop!

Holiday Throwback with Miss Anya

It's Throwback Thursday over at TGF and we're getting our OLDER stamps dusted off to create some holiday cuteness. What better way than to use the Rain, Snow, Shine set, it's so versatile with Miss Anya and her seasonal outfits AND so much fun to color...I absolutely adore this set!


Almost everything on this card has been glittered or Glossy Accented, and I finally used my TH On the Edge Snow Flurries Die...LOVE it! I think the sentiment from the $1 bin fits the image perfectly too!

Don't forget to check over at the TGF blog...there might be some info about a give-away for visiting the DT's blogs today!

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but it seems now that the holidays are here I'm busier that ever! I've picked up extra hours at work and am trying to get shopping and wrapping done, and I keep asking myself..."do I have to bake too?!!" And here I sat...knowing a handful of 6th graders were coming over tonight and it was my sons turn for snacks. This is what a started with...jumbo marshmallows!


Here's what I finished with...so easy and the kiddo's LOVED them!


As the sentiment on the card says...WARM WISHES to all!

TGF Twilight Inspired

When making this card I accidently cut myself with my scissors, and I thought it uncanny that my finger was bleeding while making a card about vampires. Then I looked down and saw my glittery nails and started laughing, thinking it truely was a "Twilight" moment! LOL!


The sentiment on this card reads: DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend because I think diamonds are as perfect and sparkly as Edward's skin...and don't forget that Bella sports a dazzling diamond from the abfabulous Edward himself!


Here's a close-up of Edward's hair...DAZZLING!!!


Since TGF is celebrating Twilight and the newly released Breaking Dawn in which Bella and Edward finally get married, TGF will be giving away the "I DO" 4x6 wedding set to TWO lucky winners who comment on the DT's blogs and return to the TGF Blog to let us know you've seen all the sparkly magic! TGF will leave commenting open until 10pm on SUNDAY, November 27th to allow for an easy and relaxing hop during the holiday weekend!

TGF Matilda and DS#27

Here's a quick card I made for our niece Macala who turned 9 on Saturday...she is definately the queen of tiara's in the family! Happy Birthday Macala!

It's been a while, but I had the chance to play along with Jen Shults' Sketch 27 this week...and the patchwork is perfect as our sweet Macala just had her room revamped with purple and zebra striped carpeting a couple of weeks ago! LOL, that's a true story!


Here's what I came up with...


I used The Greeting Farm's new release Matilda and a fab $1 stamp from M's for the sentiment.

Such a fun card to make and I can definately see myself using this sketch regularly!

Thanks for stopping by!

Retro Cheeky Xmas

Here's a quick card I made using the wonderful Cheeky Xmas from The Greeting Farm for todays FFC - Retro. You have the entire month to play along and if you're wondering which stamps qualify as "retro", there is a list at SCS that you can use to play along.

I tried giving this cutie a retro look and think I succeeded...why, just look at her fashionable pink Christmas tree! I started out thinking about aluminum trees from the days gone by, but decided on a pink tree because my friend Olivia has talked about growing up with a flocked pink tree and still has a few of the ornaments her mother used to hang on it. I still haven't gotten over my love for glitter and am continuously on the hunt for reasons to use it...don't you just love her glittery pink Santa hat?!!


Don't forget that the DECEMBER Guest Designer contest ends 11/10, so make sure to get your entries in to Jess before the big reveal of Phase 1 on our Facebook page on Friday, 11/11!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving all the fab comments!

Clearly a Special Showcase..and SALE!

Hello, friends!

As promised, we are here today with a special CLEAR STAMP SHOWCASE and a ONE-DAY only SALE! For today only, all clear stamp sets are only $12 each! We want to make your holidays as stress-free as possible and who doesn't love a little online shopping to save from bearing the crowds and crazy limited quantities out there?

We are so excited to bring you our "CLEAR STAMP SHOWCASE" today at The Greeting Farm!

In addition to our one-day sale, we have a few prizes along the way! Not one, but TWO LUCKY WINNERS will win a clear stamp set of choice just for hopping with TGF today! Our clear stamp sets are made from high-quality photopolymer and we are very happy so far with the feedback we've received from both our design teams and customers alike! We asked everyone to be very candid with us to make sure that we were bringing you the same, quality TGF product you'd expect from us. We love being able to bring you such fun and versatile lines of images and our clears are no exception! While we won't be going all clear, we do enjoy the versatility of this new line and really hope you do, too!

As you can see, I've fallen madly for the Clear Christmas set and think the sleigh is adorable for so many projects...cards, tags, baked treat bags...and that's just the beginning! I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the quality of these new clear stamps...each and every image is clean and crisp, without blurry edges or ink beading. The quality is the difference that sets TGF apart from some of the cheaper clear sets on the market.

For now, we have a great lineup planned for you today with LOTS of creativity and fun ideas from clean and simple to stunningly colored and embellished- and don't forget to leave comments along the way and then come back here to comment and enter to WIN one of the TWO prizes!

Keep Cozy Tags

Good Morning Peeps, I have a small project to show you today along with a little tip that I discovered a couple of months ago. Let’s get started...

Did you see the Keep Cozy set that was offered at the Farmer’s Market last month? I sure did and immediately put the adorable set in my cart and as always it was delivered to my door with the great service that we’ve all become accustomed to from The Greeting Farm. Fast service, savings, and stamps I {heart}...SCORE one for Farmer Denice!!

IMHO, it’s never too early to start making tags for the holiday and the word “NEVER” deserves repeating here because I have several nieces and nephews who all receive handmade tags each year, a retail job that requires extra hours during the holidays, and four kiddos at home...so it’s always good to get a head start on the holidays when I get the chance. Not only did I use the Keep Cozy set but I also used the snowflakes from the Clear Christmas set to make these tags. Brrrrr...




I thought I’d used the adorable new Holiday Anya to share a little tip I discovered a couple of months ago while using my Copics to color an image. It's pretty obvious I oversaturated the paper and the ink bled out, extending beyond the image lines. Ewwww...


I digressed about how it seems to take patience when using a blending pen to push the color back into the image and seeing how I’m an impatient person...I grabbed my white Pentel gel pen and colored over the leaking ink. Not only did it match my Neenah Solar White cardstock but it also disguised my out-of-image coloring (a.k.a. sloppy) well enough for me use the image on a project. It was super quick with great results!



I sure hope you find that little tid-bit helpful! Maybe you have a tip or two you’d like to share too...we’d love to hear them!

I rec'd the sweetest candy!

A few weeks ago I won some...I mean a LOT of blog candy at the fabulously creative Tracey Pickersgill's blog...not only did my package arrive a couple days ago, but it came all the way from Austrailia packed with some of the most wonderful goodies! Who knew a box could hold so many wonderful treats...Tracey was extra generous and sent brads, flowers, stamps (Magnolia,TGF, clear sets), pins, bling, ribbon....all things fun for a creative day!


THANK-YOU Tracey!! I can't wait to sit down and start playing and creating with all the wonderful goodies!

TGF November Release Day

It's November 1st and we all know what that means...it means all the November releases....Creeper Saturday/Sunday, along with Matilda and Holiday Anya are now available at The Greeting Farm!

Today I'm previewing Creeper Saturday and believe me when I say that this guy really knows how to combine a sassy attitude with style!


For this card I cut a soda can with my new Die-namics die to make the stars, flattened a bottle cap, crimped, stitched, and distressed...then put it all on top of some fab DP from Graphic 45 and October Afternoon. If you don't recognize the stars that are stamped next to Saturday I'll let you in on my secret...they're from the Build-a-Onsie Boy Clear Stamp Set!

There'll be a prize for one lucky person who chooses to visit ALL the DT's blogs today and really, who wouldn't like the chance to win the entire release?

Creepin' by with a Halloween HI!

Happy Halloween!!

Looks like things are getting a little creepy over at The Greeting Farm's BLOG today where there's not only one, but two new Creeper previews...Saturday and Sunday! These new guys are sporting the same sassy attitude that runs rampant throughout the Creeper Crew and are so adorable you're going to say to yourself..."why can't they be real guys?!"


I thought I'd keep the preview for Creeper Sunday CAS simply because this guy deserves to stand alone and shine in all his cuteness! **insert giggling like a 14 year old girl**

If you head over to TGF's Blog, you can catch a glimpse of the other new guy Saturday, along with more of the DT's cards/projects featuring both of these adorable new Creepers.

Just a few TGF reminders:

*Creeper Saturday/Sunday along with Matilda and Holiday Anya vailable Nov. 1st

WS Matilda preview

Hi again!

I'm back with another preview today from The Greeting Farm!

We couldn't help but notice a new little someone “sprouting” up this November...and have a sweet sneak preview for you today!

Introducing...

WILD SPROUT MATILDA!

Matilda is sassy, sweet, and everthing in between and will be released on NOVEMBER 1st, so grab your wish lists and check them twice!


Look at this girl's hair...OMGoodness, I had the most fun coloring this adorable sprout! I thought I'd give Kraft paper a try and I'm pleasantly surpised at how fun it was to work with. Very different to what I'm used it, but it's always a bit interesting to play outside of the box.

In addition to all of the FUN going on around the Farm this coming week, The Greeting Farm would like to invite you to come and hang out with us on Release Day for FUN chatter throughtout the day on our SCS Forum and hopefully we'll run into each other live at some point!

Last but not least, and you'll hear more about this on RELEASE day too- mark your calendars for November 11th- our first live “virtual stamp event' on our SCS forum with a themed challege, prizes, and our very first customer hostess of the evening. This is something we are planning on doing once a month so if there are any potential hostesses out there, stay tuned!!!

For now, be sure to visit the TGF BLOG for more details on how you can WIN WS Matilda today and thanks for coming by!

HOLIDAY ANYA preview

Hello Farm friends!

This month has really flown by, hasn't it? We hope you've enjoyed the 5 clear stamp sets we released at the beginning of the month and hope you'll join us for some more fun and chatter on November 1st when The Greeting Farm brings you another character-packed release!

That's right! We're back this month with some brand-spankin' new additions to our very beloved line of TGF characters and we are covering ALL the bases this month! We've got a new Sprout, TWO new Creepers, and an Anya that will have you at HELLO, believe me!

Speaking of HELLO's, we have a VERY exciting announcement today too! Please welcome KRIS PALAKIKO to our Design Team as our November Guest! Most of you know Kris from all of her enthusiasm and participation in many of our challenges over the past few years...pretty much since TGF's beginning back when we were still “Pink Poison!” She is a die-hard fan, loyal customer, and talented crafter and we hope you'll stop by to welcome her to the Farm this month! On that note, a HUGE note of thanks to Lori Craig who was our wonderful October guest! We are going to miss her but know she won't be a stranger and I'm sure a lot of you will be running into her in our new Splitcoaststampers home! Thanks Lori and WELCOME Kris!

...and WELCOME to the newest little sweetie on the Farm...

HOLIDAY ANYA!

Isn't she beautiful? We just adore her and are thinkin' you might too...(wink ;)


I think Holiday Anya has a "southern" look to her...maybe it's the beautiful ball gown that she's wearing or her gorgeous long hair...but I'm secretly wondering if her middle name isn't Scarlett?!! LOL! I wish you could see the glitter on the trim of her dress because I used some Ultra-Fine Ritz Glitter in Nuance Chaude (warm highlights)...talk about glittery goodness and it really is some of the prettiest glitter I've seen! Befitting for both Anya and Scarlett!

Even though the challenge is over, I wanted to give kudos to Margie because I used her Monday Funday Sketch #1 from the FFC Blog for this new release...what a great sketch!

Holiday Anya is the first of FOUR single, rubber stamp previews so stay tuned tomorrow for more...but for now, visit our blogs because ONE of us has Holiday Anya hidden and up for grabs! You never know WHO will win her...it might be you!

Thanks for stopping by today and see you tomorrow with someone else sprouting up on the Farm!

If you have yet to begin the hop, please visit the TWINERY BLOG to begin! Hooray! We are so excited to bring you a fun hop, loads of inspiration when the world of TGF Rubber stamps collides with the quality baker's twine we've all come to know and love, and some of the most talented designers in the industry with new and fun projects to share!

Did we mention PRIZES? There are definitely a few of those too so you'll want to check out our event today! Thank you so much for coming!

The Greeting Farm first sprouted into the stamping world in 2008 as a small dream and has cultivated into something wonderful because of wonderful customers like you! With three years of farm-fresh images under their belt, TGF is going strong and love bringing you fun-loving, animated characters, including the best-selling "Anya" line. The Greeting Farm brings you cute, charismatic images that are LOADS of fun to COLOR! There is truly something for EVERYONE on the Farm and we are so glad to be teaming up with the Twinery today!

As for the Twinery, twine is made from 100% cotton, it's eco-friendly and made in the USA. Whether you're gift wrapping, crafting or tying up baked goods to give to a friend, this TOP quality baker's twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic look to any project at hand!

I tried my hand at the Spirelli technique and was hoping to make something that resembelled a spider web...alas, as cool as I think the web turned out I think it would be more effective in black, LOL! Charcoal twine is definately going on my shopping list!

TGF Hallo Witch Digi


Here's a fun card I made with the Hallo Witch digi image from TGF, isn't she adorable?!! I couldn't believe my luck a couple of weeks ago when I found this SEI DP at HL, I thought to myself it would be perfect for a Halloween card and it is! I also had the chance to use my newest MFT cloud die, which I embossed and distressed the clouds. There are pearls and alpha stickers too.

I only have a couple more Halloween cards to make for my kiddos, and then I have a few fall decorations I want to put up. Sadly, this will probably be the last year my youngest dons a costume and trick-or-treats...he's getting a bit too "cool" to wear a costume! *sniff, sniff*

An adorable image colored with Copics, some fab DP, a new nestie's die, a little twine, a feather, a beaded stickpin and some pearls...makes for a purr-fect card!

TGF Tea-riffic w/ Doily


The minute I saw this reversible DP I knew I was going to use it for the new TGF Tea-riffic clear set...everything about the paper reminded me of a proper tea time, doily included. I added a beautiful silk lollipop flower that I rec'd from Kathy Jo in a swap on CMB...didn't she do a gorgeous job on that flower?!! Yep...I think so too!

TSB - Ellie's 1st B/day

This is going to be quick as I have to get ready for work, but I wanted to post a card I made using a fun digi stamp from The Stamping Boutique for my niece's daughter's 1st birthday this weekend. I just think the balloon carrying the cupcake is sweet...and super clever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE!!!


It seems my inner child has come out lately as I can't stay away from glitter and this image just shouted "GLITTER" to me! Who doesn't love their Quickie Glue Pen for moments like these?!! lol!

Last July I bought my first MFT die and have finally gotten around to using it~LOVE IT!!! Don't be surprised if you see clouds floating on my blog all month...these are the perfect little size for any project.

As I said...a quick post!
Thanks for stopping by, it's always nice to see a smiling face or two.

Throwback Thursday with Lolli Anya

Good Morning, it’s another gorgeous fall day in the midwest where we’ve been fortunate to have beautiful weather this entire week, and now that the leaves are beginning to turn gorgeous shades of red and orange, every street and corner is picturesque. It’s no wonder that I have Fall and Halloween on my mind!


I used the adorable Lolli Anya for this week’s Throwback Thursday, and doesn’t she look frightenly sweet in her fall colors?!! I couldn’t help myself, the minute I saw her lolli I thought of candy corn colors and knew she would be perfect for a Halloween card. A little time, a little glitter, and a lot of Glossy Accents...


The new stamps at TGF are awesome, I love them all...but there’s something about inking up a favorite Anya or Oliver that makes me happy...almost as much as looking out my backyard and seeing this awesome maple tree!


So grab one of your favorite TGF stamps...old or new, get inky, be happy!

As always, thanks for stopping by...I love hanging with friends!

TGF Tea-riffic Preview

Hello, TGF friends!

So, are you all exhausted...reeling from this FULL week of previewing the FIVE new stamp sets being released at The Greeting Farm TOMORROW????? Well, we thought we'd help out with that and wind down the week with a nice cup of tea....

However, winding down is not all THAT possible because we have a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW, don't forget! For now though, sit back...relax...and pour yourself a cup or two of inspiration from our new "Tea-riffic" set.

I immediately thought of tea bags with this adorable new set and remembered seeing a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers to make a tea bag holder. Not only was this a fun and easy project, but it will also make a great gift for a friend (or two) when the winter chills have them down this winter.



We are totally zen on the TGF BLOG today too (ok, we are bursting with excitement about tomorrow, but we are TRYING to be, anyway!), so be sure to head over for more project inspiration and another chance to WIN "Tea-riffic" today!

Thanks, as always for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow for ALL the excitement!
