Written in Watercolor


Hello All! I'm over on the Quick Creations blog today featuring a watercolor theme card. Since watercolor is all the rage, it was time to use this awesome sentiment stamp set from MFT. It is called "written in watercolor" and the sentiments are meant to be the star of the card. I decided to give the "star" a couple of co-stars in the form of lots of circles. That way they can have a star party together. hehe. As I said, the sentiments are large, versatile and awesome and will also work great on mixed media, scrapbook pages, travelers notebooks, etc.  I hope you found inspiration here today. 
Thanks for stopping by!

My Favorite Things - "Rainbow Stripes" 6x6 paper pad

Favorite Person to Laaugh With


Hello all! I'm over at the Quick Creations blog sharing a card featuring some adorable bunny friends. When I read the sentiments and the cuteness of the stamp set, I knew I needed to use it. The sweetness of the bunnies inspired me to create an "it'll be ok" type of card without actually saying those words. That is what is so great about the birdie brown sets, because they mix well with each other and they work for lots of different themes. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Mini Pony Party: Sending You Sparkles



Happy Sunday! I'm here today because there is a special post on the TGF blog featuring the Mini Pony Party set from STAMPtember. This stamp set is a real cutie and exclusive to the month long celebration that is currently happening at Simon Says Stamp. It's a big party every day over there so make sure to pop on over and order all the exclusive stamps that you can along with lots of TGF cuties.  Now onto my project....

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest featuring penguins and snow and so I thought, why not pair the cute ponies and unicorns with elves getting ready for the big day (but of course having fun in the process). So here they are, getting ready for a big snowball fight. I wonder who will win. Thanks for stopping by!

Farm Fresh Challenge: Office Supplies




Happy September! It's that time again to bring you some farmer inspiration for the new farmer monthly challenge. The theme is... Office Supplies.  It's the month to celebrate Back to School time. For many of you, many of the kids are already in school learning 2+2 or perhaps something a little harder: like what the heck is "x"? hehe. It seems so unnatural to start school so early on (cuts right into summer) but it is what it is so we want to see you use office supplies on your projects. Think of paper clips, staples, notebook paper, tags (such as myself) so go for it!

My inspiration for you this month are tags, something that I enjoy creating. I grabbed a couple of different sets and used them to make some cute, semi-quick tags to attach to a few supplies teachers need. Make sure to click over to the TGF blog to see what the rest of the farmers created for you. You will also find the guidelines there so you can play along with us.
