They say it's your Birthday..

It's safe for this project to go 'live' now - as it's the recepients birthday! My Uncle! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Before I start my usual waffle, I just want to say a MAHOOOSIVE THANK YOU to all of you lovelies who've stopped by my blog these past couple days to leave comments on my TGF RELEASE posts. If you missed any of them, you can spy them HERE and HERE. Don't forget about our BLOG HOP TOMORROW!

This is a card using the awesome Saturday from The Greeting Farm. I love his hair!! I decided to add red tips, just for something a little different. Not 100% happy with how this turned out, but it was the first time I've coloured him up, so be gentle with me!

I stamped a sentiment from a Hero Arts set, along with those little music notes around the bottom of my image in ink from SU! I added a few customary banners behind the image, some alpha stickers from Cosmo Cricket and a little sprinkling of bling. I sure hope my uncle likes it! :)

Thanks for stopping by today. xo

Did you Hear?

So back at the beginning the month, Melissa kicked things off with a new tradition starting over at Tiddly Inks. It's exciting times, let me tell ya. It's like NEW stuff, but DIFFERENT. We're reigniting the love of Tiddly Inks older images.

Over at Tiddly Inks, we really want to make sure that our fantastic fans get a chance to see some of the older images that Christy has drawn over time. I know as well as anyone that Wryn has been a HUGE hit around blogland, and we're loving that - but sometimes we get caught up in the new and forget to show off the old!!

So in Christys honour of her amazing artwork, both old and new, the Tiddly Crew will be featuring one older image per week (Thursdays) over at the Tiddly Inks blog and their own! Today it's my turn, so let's get to it.

Today I'll be showing off one of my other fave characters.. Lilli Claire.

This is Lilli Claire- Did you Hear?

I started off with my Nutmeg paper pack from My Minds Eye and coloured up Lilli Claire to match. Yellows and blues, yummy! One of my fave things about this character is her HAIR! There is so much freedom to do what you choose with it. What I mean is, there is a lot of open area. You can really practice your strokes and stuffs. HA! What am I talking about!?

I used my new Rolled Daisy die from MFT (that's gonna be given a MAJOR workout) to create a little kraft coloured flower, I then added a yellow brad to the centre and surrounded it with some WOC goodness!! Some yummy strips of ribbon, the twill from The Ribbon Girl and the velvet textured stuff as part of a SMASH* swap.

Thanks for stopping by! I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
- I Love ProMarkers - Anything Goes
- Inky Challenges - Primary Colours
- My Mum's Craft Shop - Three sets of Three
I have a set of three flowers, and two sets on three blings - LOL! :)
- Simon Says - Anything Goes

Paralympics: Get set, GO!

Yoohoo! :) Checking in with this little tag I made for the The Greeting Farm Customer Chat night earlier this month!

Before I start my usual waffle.. I wanna just say.. TODAY KICKS OFF THE PARALYMPICS!! Know something? I just don't get why these games don't get just as much coverage, if not more than the 'standard' (if I can say that?) perhaps 'original' would be better.. games. Maybe that's just me?

I know you've probably heard me say this 1000 times before.. HA. This is the first time I've coloured up little Oliver from Ahoy. I gotta admit, I think he's a sweetie! :) Love his little outfit. I went with the 'go to' colours  for a little sailor. This guy is meant to represent our very own Ben Ainslie, the smart little cookie he is.

A simple shipping tag, bought in a pack of 20 from WHSmith makes the perfect base for a tag with a difference. This would be perfect to attach to a gift, for the main focal point on a card, to jazz up a SMASH* page or just to sit in your craft room looking good.

Thanks for stopping by! Take it easy. xo

Some Holiday Blessings

I'm back, with DAY THREE of previews over at The Greeting Farm. I'll try and keep this one short and sweet, if you wanna know more deets, head over to THIS post from yesterday!

So, want some more CLEAR goodness?! We've got it for ya in bucket loads with this new set, just in time for CHRISTMAS! (There, I said it).

I'm not gonna lie, this set is the one I've been waiting for for like.. years! It's all in a package, everything you need to make a bunch of quick, cute cards!

Here are the two notelet sized designs I came up with using two of the stamps from the clear set. Which by the way, is amazeballs quality, just like the rest from TGF!!

These two cards are both 3.75"x3.75" and are perfect as a set, or to reproduce. I love how you're able to colour the designs in, but they don't take forever in all of their detail! Nice to pair up with your favourite patterned paper. I can see me using up my two packs of Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses this Christmas! ;) Love the combo.

So pleased you could stop by today! Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm BLOG and check out what the other amazing ladies have brewed up for ya! It's all about CHRISTMAS today! ;)

Bright Bean

Hey Farmers, it's DAY TWO of the September release.

Over at The Greeting Farm, starting yesterday we've got a WHOLE week of gorgeous releases lined up, just for you! Head over the The Greeting Farm Blog now to see what the amaze-balls Premiere Farmers have got for ya to feast your eyes on - from both yesterday (where you can meet Latte Anya), and today!!

All week long, you have the chance to win the set being showcased, all you gotta do is head over the TGF Blog and leave some love each day!

I cannot WAIT to show you the new BEAN on the block. These girls are in a league of their own, you can check out the previous Beans HERE, and this newbie, as well as the stamps from each day of the release will be available on Saturday!! DON'T MISS IT!!

BRIGHT BEAN

This spunky character is the latest addition to the Bean Collection, which are created as CLEAR STAMPS. If you're lucky enough to have one of these girlies in your collection, you will KNOW the high quality TGF clear photopolymer stamps! They give the perfect impression, they ink up fine first time round, and they smell GOOD, or maybe that's just me! Weirdo! Heh.

So I coloured this girlie using my ProMarkers and FlexMarkers to match some older papers from Cosmo Cricket, perhaps it's their UpCycle collection? I haven't followed any kinda layout, I used the scraps I had left over and created a few jaunty angles and flagged banners. Those hot pinks, lime greens and pastel greens really work for me! I added some delicious Wild Orchid Crafts flowers in the bottom left hand corner, along with some lime green bakers twine to finish up this card.

Another thing I love about these BEANS (you could say the list is never ending..) is they are totally self contained. They've the image, the sentiment and a whole load of cute 'doodling' thrown in! I know what I'd love to do, get myself some of those ickle Memento pads, and ink one of these girls up RAINBOW STYLE-E! Any of you Memento collectors, try it out and let me know! LOL!

Here is the second card I made, with more autumnal colours and a whole load of bulk! LOL!! I tried out a new combo on her hair, I threw in some Burnt Umber atop my standard brown, still not sure whether I like it. What do you reckon?

Again I've used some older papers, this time from Kaisercraft - Homemade? collection. I love the burnt orange and light pastel greens in this collection, and I still have a bunch of papers left.. TO USE UP! There. I said it.

I've created my own little crochet flower, by taking some crochet trim and spiralling it up, attaching a Prima flower and a brad to the centre and wham bam. Loads of bulk and added texture! I've added droplets of gold Liquid Pearls here and there, some WOC goodness, my (what's becoming to be signature) clothes pin and that's it!!

So pleased you could stop by, I hope I haven't talked your ear off!! I will admit, this was typed up after I had a little power nap, so I'm full of BEANS. Get it! ;) Heh. Okay, I'll stop now.

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm BLOG and leave comments each day with each new release with a chance to win your very own set! Release day is SATURDAY, and all of us Premiere Farmers will be holding a little BLOG HOP for ya, with another chance to see these designs in action, so be sure to clear your schedule for that. Winners from throughout the week will also be announced.

So just a heads up, this week there are FIVE new releases, 2 singles-a rubber and clear, a 4x6 set, and 2 HOLIDAY clear sets! Uh huh, we've SPOILED you all!!

Over and OUT! xo
