Oh boy! Ian



Hello and Happy Day to you! I hope your weekend was a great one. Mine was full of cool weather and gave us a respite from the sun but its looking that nice weather inst going to last. There is humidity in the air and that is not fun. Moving on :) My greeting farm series is coming to a close over at Quick Creations and so here is my final project featuring Ian.

The last few days have been spent at the beach, the air there is much fresher and cooler than city air and so that inspired this gift bag. I know that it doesn't look like a summer/beach theme item but I went with the colors (blues and green for the water and kraft for the sand) to evoke that feeling. These upcoming days are going to be grueling hot again and so I need keep that feeling present :).
Now its your turn to get crafty. Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Wishes

The Greeting Farm Blog - Summertime Challenge


Hello and Happy Day to you! I hope your weekend was a great one. Mine was full of sun, sun, a sweet boys birthday party and more sun. The weather has been out of control lately and Im hoping this week brings on some cool days. I'm continuing The Greeting Farm Series that is happening over at Quick Creations. Noelle is promoting several stamp companies and I got The Greeting Farm, woohoo! My character is Ian, so for the next few QC posts, its going to be all about him with some Anya thrown in the mix.

My previous Ian post had Ian and Anya going to a royal summer ball. Now, Ian is going to a summer party. This card was made for a sweet little 4 year old that just celebrated over the weekend. He loves cupcakes (of course), marvel (because he knows whats good for him) and being cute all around ;) This birthday Ian, although intended for birthdays, can also be used for other type of projects. I just think a little altering can be done or just left as is. I hope this inspires you to get crafty. Thanks for stopping by.

A Royal Hello




Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was full of fun and sunshine. I'm here today to continue the new Greeting Farm Series that is happening over at Quick Creations. Noelle is promoting several stamp companies and I got The Greeting Farm, woohoo! My character is Ian, so for the next few QC posts, its going to be all about him with some Anya thrown in the mix.

My previous Ian post was about him and Anya riding the waves, very summer appropriate. But now, they have put their bathing suits aside to look prim and proper and attend the ball of the season. I just finished reading a cutesy book titled "Flunked" that takes place in Enchantasia and its all about villains and thieves trying to reform themselves. It's a great twist on the princesses, villains and what happened after the happily ever after was said and done. The main characters, who is a brunette and prince with purple eye, inspired my coloring of Ian and Anya. My prince doesn't have purple eyes but everything else around him is, so that counts :) I hope this inspires you to get crafty. Thanks for stopping by.
