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

*Don't forget to join us all day on SCS for random chitter chatter, some prizes, and FUN!

*Guest Designer contest going on now through November 10th, first round will be posted during our first 'virtual stamp event' on our SCS forum on November 11th.

*ALL clear sets are stocked and ready to make their way home to you with your November stamp purchases!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for RELEASE DAY! See you then!

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!

TGF and The Twinery Blog Swap/Hop

Welcome to our combined Blog Swap/Hop today featuring two fantastic companies, The Greeting Farm and The Twinery! If you're just getting here from Tifany DeGough's blog, WELCOME! 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! The Twinery twine comes in 14 delicious colors and is uniquely twisted against a bright white hue, creating an eye-popping burst of color and a creative embellishment! It has lots of color which lends to a fun, candy-striped look.

Here's my project using the vampire from TGF's Spooktacular digi set and twine in the Honeydew-Light Chartruese color.


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!

Now...I DID mention something about PRIZES, didn't I? ;) There are TWO prize packs up for grabs and you will have until Sunday, October 23rd at 5pm CST to comment on ALL the blogs and enter for your chance to win one of them!

The Greeting Farm is giving away their ENTIRE November release EARLY to one lucky winner - that is four stamps in all and EARLY nonetheless!

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*

TGF Furever Clear

How can you NOT fall in love with this adorable new release called Furever Clear from The Greeting Farm?!! OMG, it's so stinkin' cute and so much fun to color! This is such a perfect image for all of my cat-crazy-lovin' friends...and seriously, you know who you are!!! LOL!

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!

Thanks for stopping by, it's fun to chat!

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!

Hey...have a great day and thanks for stopping by and saying Hi!
