Happy Anyaversary!

***Second Post for the Day***Today marks the Two Year Anniversary at The Greeting Farm and what better way to celebrate then to have a ANYAVERSARY Blog Hop! As a customer of The Greeting Farm everyone was invited to participate in the Blog Hop and create either a birthday card or project using Anyas! Super simple and as always lots of fun! Today's festivities kicked off at The Greeting Farm Blog, and there are masses of participants! For my birthday creation I decided that a card was the perfect way to go! Of course it couldn't be just any card it have to be all about the cupcakes! I pulled out my Showtime stamp set and decided that this cutie Anya would be perfect for a cupcake-licious creation! I just love these patterned papers and the embellishments are just super yummy! I received these supplies from a Cupcakes Key Ingredients, and I love everything that was included! Hope you enjoyed today's ANYAVERSARY Blog Hop post! I had so much fun with this one, enjoy the rest of the hop! Be sure to hop back over The Greeting Farm Blog or The Club Anya Blog for more fun, or hop on over to Spike's Gallery at PCP for you next stop!

Angel Anya!

I am loving the Anya's and Ian's from The Greeting Farm, in fact I just received a few of the new releases in the mail the other day. I unfortunatly have yet to enjoy these fun stamps, but I did make a card a while back using Angel Anya that I never got the chance to share with you, so I thought I would post it here today. I ordered the adorable little fairies and the cute little animals, and I can't wait to ink them up, the stamps from The Greeting Farm are just all too cute, and you know how I am a sucker for cute stamps. I hope you like today's card, and be sure to stop by tomorrow for my Pretties post, I plan on sharing the card I created for this weeks Pretties Weekly Challenge, always a good time!

Inky Impressions 1st Design Team Call!

Ladies, if you are like me then you LOVE to find new stamp companies and new super cute images to try. Recently I saw a post a friend of mine made about there being a new stamp company beginning called Inky Impressions featuring some adorable little girls on their stamp line. As soon as I heard about this company I had to try for their Design Team Call, so far the previews of their new stamps look super cute and adorable! The main page will be located at Inky Impressions, once the company is launched and I can't wait! For the Design Team call we are required to create a post about the call and share two cards (our best work) that feature line art stamped images that we have hand colored. I am a huge fan of images that I have to color in detail, I mean look at my blog, most of my creations are not using solid stamps but are instead all about the colors and the shading. I had the hardest time deciding what stamps to use for these two cards, but I decided that I would use images of other girls since their stamp line will be featuring girls! My first card uses one of the cute Anya images from The Greeting Farm, this is one of my new stamps that I had yet to get a chance to use, and I thought it would be a great image to showcase some of my coloring. I also decided to use the sketch challenge that was posted earlier this week at the Club Anya blag to celebrate the new stamps that will be released soon! I love how these images are so easy to color, and using different color combinations really seem to work. I went with pinks for this one, and I think it really worked. For my second card I decided to use one of my Sarah Kay images, another great line art stamp that I thought would help showcase my coloring abilities. I paired this adorable image with some great dotted paper from PTI and some really pretty and soft May Arts ribbon. Hope you like today's creations, I had a lot of fun trying some new stamps today.

Dorothy!

I told you more Anya was to come! I really love these cute stamps and I was finally able to complete the card I had started last weekend. I decided to dress this adorable Dorothy Anya up just like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, she comes complete with that adorable toto! So I went witha blue and brown color pallet and I took out my Primas! A while ago Jody (texasjodylynn) hosted a Prima share that I joined and I got my hands on some amazing Primas. For the longest time these beauties have been sitting in their little boxes hoping to be opened one day, well today is the day for one of those packages! These Prima Fancies are a Burlap Assortment, how wonderful is that?! Something you don't see to often but I thought really worked well with this adorable image. Hope you like today's Anya...off to create another one! I'm thinking this time Angel Anya!

A Little Anya and Ian!

At the last release for The Greeting Farm I saw these Anya and Ian stamps for the very first time and I just love them! I went and ordered both rubber unmounted stamps and some digital stamps and I am just thrilled with how cute they are. I now have a wish list of a few sets I 'need' to add to my collection, whenever I find a new company I order a few stamps, then if I like them (which I do almost every time...) I place another order. I can't wait to place another order for these stamps! As soon as they arrived I went and started coloring in images, and I just love these images more in person! So today I thought I should share my first card showcasing '50s Sweethearts', I mean look at this cute couple! I also pulled out some old but lovely SU! designer series paper to create this card, Flowers For You. Hope you like today's card, I love trying out new stamps and these were no different, and don't worry, you will be seeing more Anya cards here soon....almost done with another card I started using 'Dorothy Anya'. Enjoy!
