TGF Boho Anya Preview

It's a week of Boho, CHIC, and everything in-between at the Farm this week!

Have you heard about all the excitement at The Greeting Farm this week? In case you are just tuning in, we're in the middle of previewing some awesome new stamps this week...all leading up to our SPECTACULAR SEPTEMBER release and DT blog hop coming TOMORROW....and that's not all! You still have a few hours left to enter our FARM FASHIONISTA contest before the winner is announced TOMORROW and I can tell from the entries rolling in that we are gonna have our work cut out for us!

Before that time comes though, we have ONE more preview to sneak in today and she gives a whole new meaning to the term "boho-chic"....

INTRODUCING....BOHO ANYA!

This darling new addition to our famous "ANYA" character line is just as adorable as can be and we are SO excited to welcome her into our TGF family! Here's what I created with her today:


I found this awesome crinkled twill tape and SEI DP at the Expo I went to a couple of weekends ago and just HAD to have them, thinking they mixed well for an updated boho-chic look....sorta/kinda like Mary-Kate and Ashley. Hmmm...I wonder if Boho Anya is really their triplet?!! LOL!

Don't forget to stop by the TGF BLOG today for a recap of ALL of the exciting happenings at the Farm this week and to see how you can WIN a BOHO ANYA today!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving all the sweet comments, each and every one makes me feel so proud to be part of this awesome DT.

The Pink Elephant - TPE114

Click here to see TGF WS LOGAN Preview...or you can just scroll down! :D

This week's challenge over at the Pink Elephant is PAPER PIECING and it is being sponsored by TGF where the winner will recieve a free 4x6 rubber stamp set....I hope you get the chance to try this challenge, paper piecing is always a lot of fun!



I used the TGF Hoo Loves You 4x6 rubber set, Graphic 45 paper, TH and CB embossing folders, an iRock, distress inks, and I don't think you can see it very well but I also used Atyou Spica glitter pens to outline the flowers. If you're wondering what was paper pieced..it's the owl faces (which are also pop-dotted) and the leaves.

You have until midnight September 3rd to play along!

TGF WS Logan

Check out the adorable new guy that's previewing over at TGF blog today, WS Logan. OMGoodness...don't you just love his hoodie, and those curly locks?!! If only I were a WS image, I'd be saying, "YUMMY!!!"

I used Logan on a card I made for my nephew's upcoming birthday, and because my nephew is a hands-on type of guy, I always like to surprise him with some type of "moving" element on his cards. I just know he's going to love the cool effect of this waterfall card...I know I do. I think the CG sentiment works well with the card too...kinda cool, right?!! LOL!

A WINNER and some Expo Pictures

First things first....the winner of the Fly Baby 12 x 12 LO and Copic blog candy is GOBEAGIRL! Lisa, send your addy to me at ddbartucci@yahoo.com and I'll get this out to you in the next couple of days. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments, they were all very sweet!

This past weekend I had a few friends from Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan come to town and we all went to the Scrapbook Expo in St. Charles....can you say "FUN"!!!!


We shopped...I'd show you pictures of what I bought but that might be incriminating as my hubby could read this post at anytime, LOL. I bought a "handful" of copics at $3.99 per Sketch marker...such a deal! Then I ran into a real dilemma at the Nesties booth...it was buy 3 Nesties, get one free....what to do, what to do?!! LOL!

We went to classes...I loved learning all the techniques in the Melissa Frances class!

We ate...if you ever come to the Chicago area you have to eat at PORTILLO's...it's the absolute best Italian Beef in the area! OMG, they have a Chocolate Cake Shake!!


We cropped....


We celebrated Marji's birthday...


We had margaritas (of course!!!)...


It was sad to see the girls leave this morning, but we had a lot of fun and it was so nice getting together to shop, crop, chat, and laugh...and laugh...and laugh! And just when we thought we were done laughing for a few minutes, Marji said, "and it spits!" and the laughing started all over again! Thanks for the great weekend girls.

Thanks for stopping by, and GOBEAGIRL don't forget to send me your addy!

Lily Pad Card Challenge

I took the time to participate in Lily Pad Cards challenge that's being sponsored by TGF this week. If you want to check it out....click here. The challenge is to do your best with the fab sketch below. At first I hesitated because I just wasn't sure about the corner thingies, but after thinking about it I decided to "tweak" it to fit my style.

Here's the sketch:


Here's what I came up with:


I sure hope I didn't tweak this challenge too much?!! I love using TGF's Syrene...she's so magical! I used Prima mulberry flowers, various flower centers, Atyou Spica Pens, MS branch punch with blue glitter paper for the branches (love using glitter paper for branches!!), Nesties Label Two, and sea shells from the Atlantic ocean that were gathered along the Litchfield Beach shoreline in South Carolina on our family vacation last year. *sigh* I wish I was there, taking in the sun and enjoying the warm ocean air!

Thanks for stopping by and saying hi, I always love reading your comments.
