Ps. You still have until today at 10pm CST to complete the New Showcase Farmers Blog Hop. The prize is the complete July Release. Talk about WOW!!

I am a Greeting Farm Farmer!!!! WooHoo!!!

Happy Monday Farm Friends! I'm extremely EXCITED!!! Over the Moon THRILLED!!!! to announce that I am a new Showcase Farmer. I have been bursting at the seams for the past 6 months about my new DT spot and I'm finally able to let it out. Insert long sigh, Lol!!  For those that are familiar with my work know that I am a HUGE fan of the farm and so I'm def going to have fun for the next 6 months.

For my Introduction Card I used Blush Bettie. She is the newest member of the Blush Society and I so heart her. Although I find her adorable, she doesn't have that adorable look like Anya or the Beans, she's a little more grown up and that is what is so great about her. She also comes with her own sentiment "Oh Hello" but if you're in the mood for a bigger background stamp then you must pick up Blush Thanks as well. This stamp is a great addition to the Blush Society and can be used with all the Blush Girls. I didnt use it on this project but I will soon.

Medium: Prismacolor Pencils. Paper: DCWV. Flowers: Prima, Misc.

Ok, do you want a chance to win your own Blush Bettie? Better yet, do you want to win the whole July release? Yes you heard right, the complete release!! Talk about WOW!!!! 5 singles and 1 set. 

Hop around to say Hello and leave some bloggy love to all the new Showcase Farmers. You will have until July 3, 10pm CST to get those comments in. Plus, make sure to hop on over to Peggy's blog to Welcome her back to the farm. She has returned as our team captain and we are very happy! to have her with us. Once you've made the rounds :) hop on back to the TGF Blog to leave some love there.

SOG FB Fun Day

(Image: Alice Mae)

I used the Designed To Color: June/July Sketch 

Hello Bloggers!! Some Odd Girl held a FB Fun Day today. There were challenges, prizes, tutorials and lots of discounts. They also had a scavenger hunt which was pretty cool with a fun image as the prize. 

(Inside of Card)

The first mini challenge of the day was to create our own embellishments. 

I used the butterfly technique for my project.

The main challenge of the event was to color up a SOGgy with a non-traditional color. I was going for a Magenta Pink hair do but I'm cringing as I see that her hair looks reddish in this light. I used one too many different tones and so I may have failed the assignment. Lol.

Graphicat Sketch #9: Terribly Late...Naughty

Happy Memorial Day!! This is the kick off to Summer and what a beautiful day it is. But let's put a pause on all the B-B-Q'ng and Pool jumping for a minute and give thanks to all the brave troops that have fought for us and for all the ones that continue to do so.

Today is also the beginning of a new sketch over at Graphicat Sketch Challenge. Here is my take on the challenge. It may seem like it's not there but I promise that it is, just peel off the layers of flowers. Lol. 

I, again, used my favorite Hatter from Tickled Pink Stamps. He comes from Lil Perfect Match line, which by the way is 40% off. I was inspired by his top hat, which is why I added on to the front and one to the inside. The sentiment I used on the front, is one of my favorite lines of the movie. It's in the scene when Alice is arriving to the Tea Party. (This is not a digi, I typed it up myself).

For the inside of my card, I used one of Hatter's famous quote. This sentiment digi is called "Why Is A Raven" and can be found at the Graphicat Store.

Make sure you head on over to the Graphicat Sketch Blog to check out what the other Crafty Catz created for you.

Not Too Shabby for Tickled Pink Stamps

Happy Sunday! This week Tickled Pink Stamps is proudly sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge where the theme is "Not too Shabby - Shabby Chic or Vintage Style" . We hope you head on over there and join in all the fun and you'll have a chance to win some Tickled Pink digis too. In the meantime here's my inspiration for the challenge.

I went for a Shabby Chic look. I'll always been a little lost as to what constitutes Shabby Chic or Vintage but I found a trick to it. Find a stack that you love that could pass off as that look, I chose DCWV Preppy Princess then add pearls and lace (I couldn't find my lace so I substituted) and voila, you have tricked yourself into a shabby chic look, lol.

For my image I used Party Pinkette Coraline, one of my favorite Pinkettes. She's great for all your birthday cards and once you cut off the balloon, for other projects as well. Make sure you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamp Shop to check out the Lolitas, Lads and Pinkettes. Also, make sure you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Blog to see some gorgeous Pink Lady creations.

Little Sheriff

Hello!! I'm here with a Little Sheriff card featuring Wild West Ian, The Greeting Farm. I ran with the idea of creating a lasso for him and then just throwing it all over the card. Kind of like his little lasso went out of control. lol
