Farm Fresh Friday

Hey ho hey ho it is Sunday. Just thought I would throw in some dwarfs. Yes I am in a silly mood. LOL. This is a scheduled post that I created Saturday - the kids are playing together well, the cleaning etc is all almost done and it isn't even lunch time. Woot woot.

Anyway. Thought I would create a card for Farm Fresh Friday challenge to use a technique, embellishment or stamp that you have used before so I thought I would use my 'new' stamp. This is Twinkle Tot Violette and I must say that I have never seen her used before. May be just the blogs I follow. LOL. This DP has also been lying in the back of my paper rack so thought I would pull it out and use it.

Day 10 - 12 Days of Sketches

OMG it is the last day of 2009. Can you believe how quickly this year has gone. I didn't even think I would be doing what I am doing this time last year. I was a serious scrapbooker but when I discovered SU and Magnolia's in Feburary I was hooked on making cards. Wow. I guess I have to have a New Years resolution. This one will be a crafting one. My resolution is to actively try and sell my cards instead of them gathering dust in a box somewhere. LOL. There ya go.

Okay on to my card. Hahahaha. This is The Greeting Farm 12 Days of Sketches - Day 10. Phew. We are nearly there. Can you believe it....???? I know I can't. LOL. Alright alright. Enough crap from me. hahahaha. Had to use another Twinkle Tot. I have one more to go but will most likely be using the New Years bear that Marina gave everyone for free. Stay tuned I may have a couple.

It is stinking hot here already and have the air con on and it is only 9am. Phew. Not a good nights sleep here. Just too warm but cold with air con. Can't win. Hope it is not too hot or too cold where you all are. Have a great night and make it a safe one.

Day 8 - 12 Days of Sketches

Good morning. Gosh the time flew over the weekend and hubby is back at work now :( wish he had more time off. The kids love having him home (and so do I). At least I got to pop down to the big SB store and buy me some more DP yesterday.

This card was made for The Greeting Farm 12 Days of Sketches Day 8. I decided to use another Twinkle Tot - Izzy. She is so cute but I couldn't colour her with dark skin as I think she looks good with lighter skin. What do you think...?? Maybe just me.

I got a little sad yesterday when I saw the announcement on TGF saying they would not be doing Gardener calls anymore. I really do love their stamps and to have the chance to be on their DT has been a dream of mine since I discovered their stamps. Boo hoo. Oh well. I guess I just keep chugging along and using their gorgeous stamps.

Day 7 - 12 Days of Sketches

What a wonderful Christmas we had here. Had a nice relaxing Boxing Day and yesterday went to the BIL's for our small Christmas gathering. DS3 didn't want to come home. LOL. Typical but we have to come home sometime. Hehehe. They love their Uncle.

Hmmm my card. I really love how this turned out. I decided that I needed to use one of my Twinkle Tots that has not seen any ink. Shock horror. I have just bought so many stamps lately. Gotta curb my spending. LOL. Anyway - this is for The Greeting Farm 12 Days of Sketches - Day 7. I love this sketch and thought I would try something a little different when doing the image. I stamped her twice and cut out the oval with my nestie. When I coloured the bottom image I only coloured around the edges where you can see the image (see bottom photo). I wanted to do this instead of whacking her on the oval just to make the card a little bit more special. I got a stipple brush and some ink and inked the whole oval including the image at the bottom.

The brads on the flowers were coloured with a Copic marker to match the pink of her dress.

It is the Boxing Day holiday here in Australia. Hubby has the day off again today and is having a sleep in. Hopefully I will be able to pop down to the big Scrapbooking store today and pick up some more DP. Have a good one.

What...!!! No DP...!!!!

Good morning sweet stamping friends. Gosh it is Monday already. The weekend goes way too quickly. I had a wonderful weekend with Hubby home for three days instead of the usual two. I didn't want him to go back to work today. Oh well someone has to make some money around here. LOL.

Okay I made this card for Farm Fresh Friday at The Greeting Farm. You read the title right - No patterned paper or DP to be used anywhere on your creation. I actually found this quite easy. As soon as I figured what embossed card to use I decided to make it look sort of like a quilt pattern and stitched it all together. I sprayed the cherry blossoms with the same pink/red Copic marker that I used on the image. Unfortunately it didn't work quite as well as I thought it might but it still looks okay. I love these Twinkle Tots and am thankful that I was finally able to get one coloured up (I have four of the five available). Enjoy your day everyone.
