DECEMBER Farm Fresh Challenge: Sparkle

Happy DECEMBER 1st! Wow!! That was insanely quick how this year just went by. It is the last farm fresh and this time we want to see some ... SPARKLE.  It's time to go crazy with your sequins, gems, sparly paper and work on some fun projects. I went for a fairy winter wonderland theme because these fairies are just too cute to be only used for spring/summer projects. They look right at home with all the girly colors.

NOVEMEBER Farm Fresh Challenge: Fall Colors

Happy November! It's that time again to bring you some farmer inspiration for the new farmer monthly challenge. The theme is... FALL COLORS  In most parts of the country, the weather has cooled down, the leaves are changing color and pumpkin everything is in full swing but for me, well let's just say that beach attire is still appropriate. I thought of creating a "sunny" theme card featuring the fall colors but I decided that the woodland crittters are much more cute and lovable. These stamp sets are a couple of my favorites because they can be used for so much more than what they were intended for.

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.

Farm Fresh Challenge: H2O Love

Happy June 1st! It's that time again to bring you some farmer inspiration for the new farmer monthly challenge. The theme is... H2O Love.  It's the month to celebrate Independence day, being out of school and really just lolling the long summer days away. So with that in mind, we were inspired by all the time that is spent on the beach, lake, etc and we want you to be inspired as well.  My card features the adorable chibi diver who is exploring the sea life looking for her own nemo or dory ;)

Now its your turn to show us your water inspired creations.  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.

Farm Fresh Challenge: All About the Boys

Happy June 1st! It's that time again to bring you some farmer inspiration for the new farmer monthly challenge. The theme is... All About Boys.  It's the month to celebrate the dads in our lives but we wanted to keep it easy and make it boy theme.  I was inspired by the latest Oliver that was released last month. He looks super cute with his grilling spatula ready for ribs, hamburgers and all the delicious bbq items. 

Now its your turn to go find your inspiration.  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.

Farm Fresh Challenge: Step Into Spring

Our theme is... Step Into Spring. The theme is broad enough for you to be inspired by spring colors, flowers, critters, rain, really anything that reminds you of spring in May. I was inspired by the idea of spring colors because I find them a very girly-pretty color palette (one of my faves).
