Sending Squishy Hugs


Hello All! I'm on the Quick Creations blog today sharing some squishy hugs inspiration featuring a disgruntled cat and her owner who can't let go.  I think we have all been this little girl at one point in our lives because we either want to squeeze our pet, a stuffed animal or baby/toddler to our hearts content (in a good way, of course). I was going for a happy and bright card to put a smile on the recipients face, hence the bright colors. 

Now make sure to click on over to the Quick Creations blog for more inspiration and to the Quick Creations shop for your own goodies to play with. Noelle has filled the shop with lots of new goaodies from the greeting farm, krafting kimmie, doodlebug, echo park, my favorite things and many other. Also, there is a monthly challenge happening where you can win a store gift certificate. The theme is stars and stripes, which is quite easy.
Thanks for stopping by!

July Release Preview Day 3: HO HO HOLIDAY





Hi, I'm back with Day 3 of previews for the JULY Release, which will be available for purchase at The Greeting Farm Store on Friday, July 22nd. We have four new sets coming out with their coordinating dies and they all revolve around Christmas time! Eeek, it is officially the midway point and it is time to start creating your cards and making those lists.

Today, we are previewing the set HO HO HOLIDAY, which is all about Santa and his adorable elf helpers. I think this one may be my favorite set out of the four because all the icons are just uber adorable. For my 1st card, I thought I go for a fun party type card similar to my mice card, in which Santa and his elves are jumping getting ready for the big day. 

Now its time to head over to the TGF Blog to see what the rest of the design team created for you. See you tomorrow for day 4. Don't forget we will also be having a New Release Blog Hop were 1 lucky person will win the entire release! Thanks for stopping by!

July Release Preview Day 2: LET'S MINGLE




Hi, I'm back with Day 2 of previews for the JULY Release, which will be available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store on Friday, July 22nd. We have four new sets coming out with their coordinating dies and they all revolve around Christmas time! Eeek, it is officially the midway point and it is time to start creating your cards and making those lists.

Today, we are previewing the set LETS MINGLE, which is all about cutesy mice. When you think of mice you don't necessarily think cute or christmasy but i think Ratatouille changed our minds on that one. For my card, I thought I go for a fun party type card. The mice are jumping all over the place with their cheese, cookies and gifts waiting for santa to drop by.  

Now its time to head over to the TGF Blog to see what the rest of the design team created for you. See you tomorrow for day 3. Don't forget we will also be having a New Release Blog Hop were 1 lucky person will win the entire release! Thanks for stopping by!

Water You Up To?

Scroll down for my TGF Previews Day 1 post



Happy Monday!! I'm here to share some fun shaker inspiration featuring "dolly diver" who happens to be swimming around with the fishies when she notices a new friend has attached himself to her. As cute as the squid is, I don't think id be to keen to want to have it hitch a ride on me. All the extras come from a TGF set and was perfect to give the card that underwater effect. I was also going for a happy and bright card to put a smile on the recipients face, hence the pink and yellow sequins.

Now make sure to click on over to the Quick Creations blog for more inspiration and to the Quick Creations shop for your own goodies to play with. Noelle has filled the shop with lots of new goaodies from the greeting farm, krafting kimmie, doodlebug, echo park, my favorite things and many other.

Believe in Magic



Hi all! I'm on the TGF blog today with a Peter Pan inspired piece. When I saw the mermaids, I knew right away that they would be great for creating this type of scene. The way they are drawn allowed me to place them as if they're just hanging about, enjoying each others company and listening to Pan play his flute.  Since this piece is loosely based on the mermaid scene from that movie, Pan is a fairy and she has no flute ;) 

Now unfortunately, the Little Mermaids and Little Fairies sets are currently sold out but they will be back in the store in no time. To make sure that you don't miss out when they are back in stock, hop on over to the TGF Shop and sign up to be notified.

You're Fintastic



Happy 4th of July!! I'm here to share some quick inspiration featuring this awesome mermaid and her ocean pals. With all kind of mermaid releases popping up and with Finding Dory in the theaters, I was inspired to create an ocean theme bookmark to help me read those TBR books. I thoroughly enjoy reading, the idea of getting lost in another "world" is exciting but lately netflix has been my friend and so I haven't had much time for reading and I'm hoping that this will help change that. :)
