Good morning all! Today is Tuesday which means that it is time for a new Party Time Tuesday Challenge! This week the Party Planners at Party Time Tuesday are hosting a challenge to create a project and "Use Ribbon"!
Good morning! Have you heard the news at Bugaboo Stamps? We are now sponsoring all sorts of companies AND swapping our DT members with them! So today I am playing along with The Greeting Farm! How awesome is that?! Their current challenge is an inspirational one, all you have to do is use the card below to inspire you card!
For my card I used the adorable and sassy Cheeky Kitty image from The Greeting Farm! I hope you will play along with us at The Greeting Farm, you could even win some Bugaboo Digis!
I used the card layout to inspire my card, plus I also used a Cuttlebug Embossing folder like the card did. I pulled out my pad of designer paper from the We R Memory Keepers Spookville, I thought it worked really well with this fun image. I used some of my bakers twine and some fun self adhesive pearls.
Ladies, the day has come, Team Ho has made it to the FINAL round of the Royal Battle at The Greeting Farm. This weeks challenge was to create a His and Her project, and guess what?! I was the only remaining team member eligible to create our entry, talk about being nervous! So after a lot of brain storming and going back and forth, I finally deiced to make a school gift for both Girl and Boy teens, with a bit of a Punk feel to them.
I do hope you like my creation, it has a lot of little tidbits, but I love how it all came out, I even used my new Janome sewing machine for the first time for this too!
Good morning ladies! I wanted to share with you all that I am currently joining some fabulous ladies as part of Team Ho in The Greeting Farm Battle of the Design Teams! That's right, my team consists of some amazing fellow Hos, specifically Joy Stagg, Rae Anne Springer, Yoorah Lee, Sandye Curry, and ME! These fabulous candy bar creations were made by Joy Stagg!

I am so anxious to see how this goes, please, if you get the chance stop by and vote for us!

Good afternoon all! For today I wanted to share with you these two fun cards I created for the wonderful Miss Gabby’s Miss Anya and My Guy Ian’s swap! I have a pretty large collection of stamps from The Greeting Farm, in fact I think I need to order some more after seeing their newest release, but a of now I am being ‘good’ and not ordering anything. When Gabby posted this swap I totally wanted to play along, in fact I had yet to ink up the My Guy Ian set so that had to be remedied! I tried to make his card sort of manly, so I stuck with a grey and maroon color combination plus I pulled out my diamond plate embossing folder to make it even more ‘manly’. I had no idea how to finish this card though, I finally decided that I would create an overlapping of satin ribbon and offset the main image in the upper right corner.
For my second spot I used Rain Miss Anya image from the set Rain Snow Shine. I think this may be one of my favorite Miss Anya’s in fact after I made this card I love this stamp even more. You know I have been on a bit of a ‘where is spring’ kick and this card is just perfect for spring! I used yellows and blues to create this super fun and cute Rainy day card! I also used my Swiss Dots embossing folder for the background on this card to go with the dots in her little umbrella. After I finished all the cards for the swap I realized that I didn’t even use any decorative paper, and that never seems to happen anymore! I do hope you liked both cards for today; I had a lot of fun with them!

Good morning all! I am still one vacation, but I wanted to schedule a post for you while I was gone outside of my Design Team requirements. I participate in a lot of swaps from time to time and most recently I added another Greeting Farm swap to my list. I created this cutie card using a digital image I got from the Greeting Farm from a while ago, I think sometime last spring and I had never used it, but when I saw a sheet of cardstock filled with images I just had to use it! So when this swap came up I created this fun Easter card and sent them on their way! Oh and if you are wondering about my desk background, I attached and completed the cards while at work on my lunch break before these were sent out and that is my desktop at work, pretty huh?! I hope you like my creation for today, I had a lot of fun with this one! Have a great day all!
Good morning everyone! I thought for today I would share with you the two other cards I was able to complete for The Greeting Farm 12 Days of Sketches to kick off the New Year! I had hopes of completing all 12 sketches, but unfortunately I was only able to complete 4 of the 12, but I had a lot of fun with all of them. I did also start three other sketches, but as of now they are only colored images cut out and ready to go with no card to attach them to, but hey I tried. So let’s talk about the two I am sharing today that I did get completed. The first card may be the starting point for my 80s swap that Gabby is hosting on SCS, I do love how black and purple look together, but not sure if I like the finished product, I think I was thinking of something else when I started so I may try this one again before sending in my 80s cards to Miss Gabby.
For my second card I created a Mardi Gras inspired card for Kate’s Mardi Gras swap on SCS. I had a lot of fun with this one, I mean when I think Mardi Gras I think bright colors in shades of green, purple, an yellow with candy, beads, and masks. So I thought that lollipop Anya would be prefect for a Mardi Gras card, and of course I went with the typical colors associated with Mardi Gras. I really think that she turned out nicely, I love how the colors all work together and how I added the lollipops as an embellishment, in fact that may be my favorite part of the card. Hope you like both of my creations featuring stamps from The Greeting Farm. I did have a lot of fun with these! Have a wonderful day all!

Right now The Greeting Farm is having a Twelve Days of Sketches on their blog and I have been loving the idea. This past weekend I sat down and started working on these sketches and I am really loving how these are starting, plus some of those stamps that have been screaming for some ink are seeing some! For my first card I tried the 3rd Sketch and pulled out one of my new Twinkling Tots, this little Madelynn is totally adorable! I thought she would look pretty in greens and yellows and coloring her in was a lot of fun!
For my second sketch I used this adorable Miss Anya Love and went for all pinks on pink! I can not for the life of me find my oval nestabilities either, so I used this one instead and I think it still works. In fact not only are these card for the great Sketches that The Greeting Farm is hosting, but I am also using these cards for swaps I am in on SCS.
Hello all! I thought for today I would share with you the card I created for this past week's issued Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at The Greeting Farm! I have been adding these challenges to my list to complete every week, but it always seems like the deadline arrives and no card is created! So when I got the chance to play along on Sunday evening I was thrilled! This week's challenge was to create a card using embossing in some way, so I got to work on just that! I used the cutie Wild Sprout Edward to create this grey and red card! I first heat embossed Edward so that he would pop out on the paper, then I ran a sheet of Going Grey cardstock through my Cuttlebug and Embossing folder to create this fun textured background.
Good morning! For today I thought I should share with you one of the card I created for the last The Greeting Farm DT call. The assignment was to create a circus themed card, and I wanted to use one of the Miss Anya stamps, since they are some of my favorites, but I didn't know where to start. I finally decided that a clown was not the way to go and a trapeze artist might work. I will say that this card turned out to be pretty elegant, but I don't think it was what my intentions were when I started this one. I did have a lot of fun color this cutie in and I do like the finished product, just not where I thought it was going to end up. Oh well, I hope you liked today's card, have a wonderful Friday! I will see you all tomorrow for another Artful INKables post!
This is another card I created for a swap on SCS that was due on the 1st of this month. This time Tammy is hosting an Anya/Ian swap, and with all the Anya’s and Ian’s I have I thought it would be a great way to use some more of my stamps. I had so much fun with this card; I created a card using this adorable Hippy Anya from The Greeting Farm and one of the great Verve sketches from the Anni-Verve-sary a few weeks ago. When I first got this stamp in the mail, I knew that I wanted to make a bright and happy card using this stamp, it was just screaming for bright colors. I thought she would look best as a blonde if I was going for bright colors and I just love the way yellow and pink look together, the rest just sort of fell into place. I just smile when I look at this card, I hope you like it as much as I do, maybe it will make you smile too! Have a great day!

This week Mojo Monday celebrates 100 sketches! How exciting is that and in celebration the Mojo Team has been posting a new sketch every day! I have been following the celebration trying to find time to create a card or two with all these great sketches being posted and Saturday afternoon I finally got the chance to play along! 
I used this totally adorable stamp from The Greeting Farm called Megan from their Wild Sprout collection! When I looked through all the sketches so far this week at the Mojo Monday I thought that this sketch would be prefect for this image! Not only would it suit this adorable stamp, but I thought that Megan would look wonderful in scallops! I love how bright this card came out, in fact I made it for a The Greeting Farm swap I joined in the swapping forum on SCS, Tammy is hosting this one, and I hope all the ladies love it! Have a wonderful Sunday! Hope you enjoy today's creation!
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!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! The weather is finally starting to act like summer here and I am loving it! So what better card to share then this bright and super summery card I create a few weeks ago for The Greeting Farm design team call. I just love this adoable stamp, Shine from the collection set call Rain, Snow, Shime. I really love this paper, its from the Basic Grey collection Lime Rickey, which is just perfect for summer! With this card I had a lot of fun with these adorable flowers that a friend of mine sent my way, they really work wonderfully with this card and of course these PaperTrey buttons work nicely for flower centers. I hope you liked today's card and you get to enjoy some of the lovely summer weather! Have a great day! 
Surf's Up Man! A few weekends ago I had a lot of fun with several stamps from The Greeting Farm, this one being Surfer Ian. Of course with this image it needed to be bright and summery, I love the floral paper with this one, perfect for a surfer dude! I told you that you would be seeing more summery stamps around here, and this is a great starting point. I really do love the summer, the smells, the weather, the fruit, the outdoors, all just a blast! I hope you enjoy today's card, I know I had a lot of fun with this one! Have a great day!
I am so glad that some of my uninked stamps are getting inked up, I have been doing great with that! Hoping to cintune creating more things this weekend using some stamps that have never seen ink. Today I thought I would post a card I made a few weeks ago for one of the VSN challenges. The challenge was to create a card using seven of one embellishment, so I went bling! I had so much frun with this card, fun, pink, bright, and blingy! I really love this Bitty Dots paper from PTI and it really makes the background pop, plus I had a lot of fun with layers, can you tell?! Hope you have a great day! Enjoy the weekend!
I had a lovely time this past weekend creating some fun and summery card featuring stamps from The Greeting Farm! I answered the Summer Design Team call issued from The Greeting Farm and we were asked to create cards using the colors yellow and orange, so my first card was this fun and springy Flutter By Anya. I had the hardest time finding decorative paper to match the purples and yellows I used in my main image, but after much sorting through paper and paper packs I found this sheet of paper that I bought last summer while at a crop, pretty isn't it. Then I had to use some sparkle, and I pulled out the crystals I bought while in NYC this weekend as well, aren't they pretty! I found myself in a bead store staring down possible gem colors and I had to pick a few, in fact I went with 7 different colors and 72 of each....oops! But I am loving these things, I used them on this card, and the card I posted here yesterday. Super fun and super shiny! I also thought that the corner to this card seemed empty so I got out my Prima flowers until I found one single flower that seemed to match and I dug through my PaperTrey buttons to find the one perfect to finish off the center. I hope you liked today's card, I know I had a lot of fun creating this one!
