Forgotten Stamp Friday-Week 21

Hey everyone, and welcome to Forgotten Stamp Friday!! Not familiar with this challenge...well, you should be!! Every week(except last week where I TOTALLY flaked, sorry!!!), I challenge myself, and all of you, to make a card using your poor, lonely, dusty, unused, forgotten stamps. I feel guilty with the sheer VOLUME of stamps that I own in comparison to what I ACTUALLY use, so this challenge is one that helps me to ease my guilt a little. There are NO rules, just that you
a)PLAY ALONG
b) use a stamp that is either unused or owned and un-inked for 6 months
c) come back and add yourself to the linky thingy so I can see what you've done
d) be sure if you upload to SCS, that you use the keyword FSF21...that way I can find you!!

For my card tonight, I stamped my Pure Innocence- Bunch of Blooms image on a piece of X-Press It Blending Card. I then colored her with my Copics, and layered her with More Mustard, Baja Breeze, and Night of Navy. I used the MME Stella and Rose Hattie collection. My brads are from Michael's, my ribbon from SU, and I used the Perfect Petal Trio to make my flower. My sentiment is from the Clearly Sentimental about Mother set.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Don't forget to add yourself to my linky thingy.

I started by stamping my flower from the What's Up Buttercup set, on an X-Press It Blending card. I then colored it with my Copics, and layered it with So Saffron and Black Licorice. My ribbon is from MFT. I used Michael's brads, and SU punches for my sentiment. My paper is from the Lilybee Design's This & That tiny tablet. I also used last week's Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!

MFTWSC18- Hi, Sweetness!

Hey Everyone!! It is Wednesday, so that means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge held by My Favorite Things. This week's sketch is another amazing one, so let's get to it!!

For my card tonight, I started by stamping the new Pure Innocence- Lily of the Valley, on a piece of X-Press It Blending Card. I then colored her with my Copics. She was layered with Limeade, Razzleberry, and Blu Raspberry.....um, yuuuuummy!!! My paper is from the new My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky pack(thanks EVA DIVA!!!).....HOLY LONG NAME STAMPMAN!!!! I used the new Scalloped Ribbon Die-namics...yuuummy, as well....I'm sensing a theme. My brads are from Michael's, ribbon is from SU, and my spiral clip is from Creative Express.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have great day! Head on over to Kim's blog to see a list of the other designers participating today, and to the MFT forum on SCS for more details as well!!

My Favorite Things Hop and SHOP!!!

Hey everyone and welcome to this month's My Favorite Things Blog Hop and Shop....we are SUPER excited this month at MFT, and hope you are, too!! SOOOOO many yummy new sets, and don't even get me STARTED on the new Die-namics....um, YUMMY!!!

As always, tonight's hop started at Kim's Blog....if you are here now, you should have come from Barbara's FABULOUS Blog...she is SO TALENTED!!!!

Tonight I have a card to share with you using last month's Triple Scoop set -Clearly Sentimental About Success. The Triple Scoop is an awesome promotion that runs every month. All you need to do to qualify is to buy three full sized sets (or six smaller sets) and then add the Triple Scoop set to your cart - Voila! Free! This month's Triple Scoop set is Clearly Sentimental about Friendship...and you need it, you want it, you gotta have it...so best to just do the right thing and BUY BUY BUY!!! ;)

For my card tonight, I started by stamping my sentiment, one of my FAVORITES...who am I kidding, I love them all....on a piece of GP white card stock. To make it super thick, I cut out two extra layers using my Textile Rectangle Die-namics, so it would be more sturdy. :) I used some YUMMY paper from the Lilybee Designs- Picket Fence pad. I paired it with Cranberry Crisp(yes, I still have a TON), and Snow Cone. I then used the Stacking Stars Die-namics to cut out several different stars to add to my card both inside and out. My brads are from Michael's, and my ribbon is also from MFT.



For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and some more of my stars. For my sentiment, I cut it apart, and stamped it as a layered sentiment, rather than all on the same line. I'm a rebel...;)

Well, that is it for me for now!! The next stop on the hop is the FABULOUS Arlene's Blog....she is SURE to have something breathtaking and AMAZING. Have fun, and don't forget somewhere, somebody has some blog candy so you better leave a comment!!!

Correction- I Was Wrong...

Hey everyone, and welcome to day four of this month's new release teasers from My Favorite Things. Tonight we are showing off three new sets: Claire Keay's- You Had Me At Woof, Just My Type, and Inspired By-Up, Up, and Away. I had a hard time choosing which set I wanted to use...they are all SO FABULOUS, but I finally settled on Just My Type!!! Before we get to my card, here is all the need to know info!!

For my card tonight, I started by using my Just My Type's Die-namic to cut out my typewriter and paper. I cut it out BEFORE I stamped it, out of Very Vanilla cardstock, and then stamped my image and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs This&That pack. I paired it with Black Licorice and Wild Cherry card stock. My ribbon is from MFT, and my brads are from American Crafts. I used the new Decorative Doily Duo to create my doilies. My sentiment....well, it's why I chose to use this set. Not so much for what it says on the front, because I HATE admitting when I am wrong....but for the inside. It is LOL!!


For the inside, I used more of the pretty paper, and the new Scalloped Ribbon Die-namic. My sentiment...well, it just cracks me up.

TGF Release Day HOP!!

HELLO and WELCOME to our MAY release at The Greeting Farm!


We have LOTS to be excited about today as we have a NEW contest, NEW line of stamps now available for purchase in the store, and a NEW Guest Designer-me!!


And now, it's time to welcome the following new characters to the TGF LINE!

Splotchy Background

HOO loves you?

Creeper Abbey

&
WS Elena

We have another HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT for you today. Announcing our 2nd annual "CARDS FOR A CAUSE" event!


Last year you really brought us to tears and smiles on our faces with our 1st card drive. Due to it's success, we are rallying the troops again for a 2nd one and well, we're making it ANNUAL!


This year, we were moved beyond measure with so many emotions for the people of Japan as we watched live video of the earthquakes and tsunami that devastated so many people on March 11, 2011. It broke my heart to see videos of families in shelters, children looking terrified and not understanding what happened. Some of those families lost everything and when our loyal TGF customer Natalie Shaw emailed me a link to a school that we could send in handmade encouragement cards for children, we knew this was going to be something TGF wanted to be involved in! Our images are PERFECT to cheer up a child and we really hope you will play along!


Please view the tabbed page on the TGF Blog entitled "Cards for a Cause" for all the information on how YOU can help...and possibly, WIN some serious loot from TGF! PLEASE JOIN US!


As for 'loot' today, well, you know the drill! ONE lucky commenter who completes the hop and comes back to the TGF Blog to leave a comment will be drawn to WIN the ENTIRE May Release!


For my card tonight, since I hadn't used her yet, I decided to use the SUPER CUTE new Wild Sprout, Elena!! She is SUPER cute, and would be PERFECT for a teenage or young girl's birthday, or whatever you want!! She was stamped on an X-Press It blending card, and then colored with my Copics. I then layered her, using my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties, with Taken With teal and Rose Red. My paper is form the MME Stella & Rose Gertie paper. My ribbon is from MFT, and my spiral clip is from Creative Express. I used SU punches to make my sentiment panel.

Without any further adieu, here is the order of our Farmers' BLOG HOP for release day:

Jessie-you are here!!

Tanya

Emma

Buttercup

Sari

You will have until 11:59 pm CST TONIGHT to comment and become a follower and we will happily announce the winner tomorrow morning on the TGF Blog!

For my card tonight, I stamped my Pure Innocence- Fresh from the Oven girl on an X-Press It Blending card. I then colored parts of her with my Copics, and paper pieced the rest with some Lilybee Designs Happily Lost paper. My cardstock is Tangerine Tango, and Fossil. I watched a video on YouTube today on how to color hair...how'd I do? lol!! I used the new Scalloped Ribbon Die-namics along the edge, and then part of the new Well Worn Label Die-namics for my sentiment. My twine, and button, are both from SU, as well as my ribbon, and I used a Creative Express spiral clip.


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another sentiment from the set.

Tonight is our final night of peeks for The Greeting Farm, and I am having SO MUCH FUN with this month's sets!! I know I don't get to play with their stuff much, but it makes me SO HAPPY when I do!! I mean, seriously, SHE'S SO CUTE!!!!

Half of the designers are showing off the new WS Elena set, tonight, and the other half....including me, are showing off the new Creeper Abbey.....I LOVE HER!! Creepers have GOT to be my favorite of all the TGF stamps, so I was BOUNCING off the walls when I opened her!!

I started my card by stamping my Abbey on a X-Press It blending card, and then I colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Blue Raspberry, Lemon Drop(both MFT), and Rose Red(SU). My paper is from the LilyBee Designs Happily Lost pack. My ribbons are both from MFT, my brads are from Michael's, and my spiral clip is from Creative Express.

For my card tonight, I combined my teaser post with this week's Crazy 4 Challenges Challenge. The challenge was to use three different papers, two flowers, and one button. I, of course, used other embellishments, but she didn't say we couldn't, LOL!! I stamped my girl on a piece of X-Press it Blending card, and then colored her with Copics, and paper pieced her. She is layered with Grape Jelly and Sour Apple. My paper is from the LilyBee Designs Picket Fence pack. I used some Honeydew Twine, MFT ribbon from the white collection, and an old MFT button. My flowers...well, I'm not very "user friendly" when it comes to the rolled flower dies. I put a brad in the center of them, but you can't really tell...they are supposed to be daisies...they look like white felt....somethings. The beauty of this is, I LOVE them, so I'm not mad at me...hehe!

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and remember to head on over to Kim's blog for a full list of designer participating today!!
