Happy Birthday Anya!!!
Guess what? We are celebrating The Greeting Farm's First Birthday this Saturday!! Hopefully, this is not the first you have heard of this and you've already put your name in to be part of the BIG Blog Hop!!! If you don't know what I am talking about, all of the details are HERE at Club Anya. But you better hurry, becasue the deadline is Noon CST today (July 30) to have your blog be a part of the hop!!
Who is this little cutie on the card?! Well, she's the new Birthday Anya, being released on August 1st! And the pretty paper - that's another new release from the Greeting Farm!!! About my card - I wanted to try my hand at pleating my paper, not realizing most of it would be covered with my main image (maybe smaller pleats next time, or not box pleats?) And I could not get a picture to show the texture in the white card stock (I used the Swiss dots CB folder)!! I've had lots of rainy weather here lately so no natural light and the flash makes the texture look flat!! Oh, well! I am totally thrilled with how she came out even though I couldn't get the picture to show what I see!!
The details:
Stamp: Birthday Anya - The Greeting Farm
Paper: DP-The Greeting Farm, Whisper White, Rose Red, Choc Chip-SU. PTI white
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20

Another "Couture" Anya and an Award!
Jacquie at Javablustamper gave me my very first blog award yesterday!! Thank you Jacquie!! I am so excited because now I get to pay forward the warm fuzzies to 5 bloggers who inspire me! (There are WAY more than 5 whose work I LOVE but I did keep it to 5!) If you haven't been to their blogs, you should really take a look. Color really draws my attention, so you will notice that these five ladies are extraordinarily talented with color!
Amy at A thousand Sheets of Paper
Tori at Wild Sprinkles
Randi at The Dark Mermaid
Sandra at Paper Funtastics
Mariska at Sending You a Little Smile
My card today is the second one I've done for the "Club Couture" contest at Club Anya! I tried to make a more grown up outfit this time, though it is still pretty casual. I think it is Mommy Chic! I would love to dress like this (but I wouldn't look as good as Anya does - I just don't have the legs!!) The sketch is from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge # 32. (I turned it on it's side!)
The details:
Stamps: Miss Anya (w/shopping bags) for the body, Miss Anya Snow for the head - The Greeting Farm
Paper - Basic Grey, Choc Chip - SU, PTI white

Club Anya Couture Contest - Portrait of My Daughter
Hi Everyone! I didn't have anything to show you yesterday because I took a break from stamping over the weekend - I've had an ache in my shoulder and neck for 3 days now! It feels just like I slept wrong on it but it's taking it's sweet time to go away, so I decided I had to stamp today!
Did you know that Club Anya is having a Club Couture Contest right now? You have until Thursday the 30th at 11:59 PM CST to enter your "summer couture" Anya or Ian for your chance to win the new Miss Anya Dressy set! You can get all of the details HERE. I went more with Sassy than Sophistication, and decided to do a portrait of my daughter. So this outfit is more on the "must have" list if you are a 9 year old!!
Ronnie/Miss Anya was made using the face from one of the new Dressy Miss Anya's (I love her open eyes) and the hair from the Dressy Miss Anya with the hat (I covered the hat with a post it note when I inked it up, then drew in the missing parts.) I stamped one of the first Miss Anya's (the one carrying the shopping bags) on scrap paper and cut her out then traced her body outline onto my PTI paper and drew the clothes I wanted (my DH's current favorite outfit). Once I was happy with how it looked, I went over it with my Copic multi-liner and colored. The hair was cut out and layered over the face and then the body was layered over that (since the hair was long and should be behind the shoulders. It probably sounds more complicated than it is.
The details:
Stamps: Miss Anya, Miss Anya Dressy, Sentiments - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Fancy Pants Designs, Basic Black-SU, PTI white
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: E40,E43,E44
Clothes:RV21,RV23,RV25,C3,C5,C7,YG23,YG25,V01,V15,YR15,YR16

Sneak Peek of a Dressy Miss!
I am so excited to get to show you a sneak peek of a new stamp set from The Greeting Farm called Miss Anya Dressy! I just love all of the Miss Anya sets and this one is so beautiful with all of the lovely details each girl has! This one was my favorite from the minute I saw them (that may change once I color the other 2!), but I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT has done and which Miss Anya they have chosen to play with! The Miss Anya Dressy set will be available on the 1st of August (along with several other surprises we will show you next week!!) We will also be having a HUGE Blog Hop to celebrate The Greeting Farm's One Year Anniversary and you can be a part of it!!! You can get all of the details at HERE on Club Anya! I hope to see you there!!
I don't know why, but Miss Anya's hair wanted to be lilac! So, I had to go on a search for paper because with all of the paper that I have, very little of it is purple or lilac!! I also made this card to participate in the Farm Fresh Friday challenge at TGF, so I have included butterflies and flowers! The butterflies were made with a Martha Stewart punch and the flowers were a combination of Martha Stewart punches and Nestabilities (all decorated with stickles and Basic Grey brads!).
The rest of the details:
Stamp: Miss Anya Dressy - TGF
Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle, Lovely Lilac, Rose Red, Summer Sun - SU, White -PTI
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair:BV000,BV01,BV02,BV04
Clothes:RV14,RV17,RV19,Y35,Y38,C0,C1,C3,C5,C7,C9
You are probably as excited as I am to see the other Miss Anya's, so here's how to get to the rest of the DT if you haven't already been there:
Jessica
Jacquie
Janna
Kristine
Rosette
And, Oh, I forgot to tell you - you have TWO chances to win this set! There is a contest on both The Greeting Farm blog and the Club Anya blog with this set as the prize - so get busy and you may not have top wait until the 1st to get it!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday (Cards) to Me!
I had a fantastic birthday yesterday! I slept in late and my DH made me breakfast while my DD was making me a card. We went to see the new Harry Potter movie, then I went to the LSS and shopped for paper, then to 2 bookstores and Micheals and finally to dinner! It was fabulous! I have been stamping the past couple of days but I thought today I would show you two of the homemade cards I received.
The first is from the Fabulous Jessica from The Whimsical Butterfly :
And this one my sweet daughter made me. My DH says she did it entirely herself!
And speaking of birthdays, have you heard the news about The Greeting Farm's upcoming First Birthday? The August release will be a COMBINED TGF/ Club Anya release! That's right, the Farmers, Gardeners, and Team Anya are all joining farm forces for what we hope to be our biggest and best release EVER! AND we want YOU to be a part of it to! Yes, it will be a huge blog hop, with YOU included! You can get all of the details HERE at Club Anya.
I can't wait to see you there!

I Want to go to School
.......at Hogwarts! My daughter laughs at me when I say that, but I love those books and the movies and I want to be a student at Hogwarts! I can't completely decide which house I'd be in......probably Hufflepuff although some days I feel a bit Slytherin (they can't all be evil, right?) Anyway, I am definitely going to see the new movie for my birthday on Saturday! And I just had to make an Ian Harry Potter! It actually took much less altering than I originally intended - once I remembered how close the digital graduation Ian was to Harry. I just flipped him in Photoshop elements, and used the eraser to get rid of his diploma and hat and to erase a little of his gown under his collar so I could draw in a tie. I drew on the glasses and his scar and gave him a wand and Voila! Then my DH said,"Don't you have an owl stamp, too?" Gotta love him!
The Details:
Stamps: Digi Graduation Ian and Owl from Forest Friends - The Greeting Farm, Sentiment - Doodlefactory

My Challenge Cards
...from yesterdays VSN challenges! Sorry - you may have already seen these if you joined us for the VSN last night or looked up the challenge cards in The Greeting Farm's gallery, but that is all I have had time to work on this week! (Although, work is not the right word because it was SO much FUN!)
The first is for the Trip It Up and Stamp It Out challenge where we were supposed to make our best disco, psychadelic, "trippy" card. I decided to go the disco route and I used the new Hippie Anya, only changing her hair for a more Studio 54 look! The disco ball is made with the prism paper with different sized clear gems on top. The background is embossed with a CB folder then has stickles added and her clothes are heavily stickled!
The Details:
Stamps: Hippie Anya and Sentiment (Pupstar) - The Greeting Farm
Copics:
Skin: E25,E27,R24,R29
Clothes: C9,Y15,R29
I really struggled with he Heritage card because on my mom's side no one really knows where we come from (sad, I know!) and on my dad's he has traced our family back to the 1500's in Sweden, but we don't really follow any traditions or anything. So I decided that when I think of where I come from and my childhood I think of my grandparents farm. They had a small farm, just growing and raising enough for themselves, not to make a living from. They both also worked at the Cannery and in my memories of my Grandpa he is always wearing his Cannery shirt with his name tag. My grandparents had the longest lasting still-in-love marriage that I knew, so I am sending this "portrait" to my Grandma (who lost Grandpa 3 years ago).
Details:
Stamps: Rock the Farm (with the head from Happy Chef because it reminds me of my Grandpa!), McSplendid Farm, Wardrobe 2 for Ian's clothes, Sentiment from Dress Me - all THe Greeting Farm
DP: Dirty Rodeo - The Greeting Farm
Copics:
Skin: R00,RE00,E11,R20

As soon as I saw Navajo Anya I wanted to do a friendship card with Cowgirl Anya and I thought Jacquie's sketch would be perfect for that! I tried to color Cowgirl like Jessie from Toy Story!
The Details:
Stamps: Cowgirl and Navajo Anya, Sentiment - Cup of Stuff, all from The Greeting Farm

Back from My Alaskan Wildlife Cruise!
Hi! I got back from my cruise on Wednesday and we immediately went to work repairing our fence (part of it got blown down in the winter but the ground was too frozen to fix it then). I think we have finally got the hard part finished (the old posts and concrete removed and the new posts are in the ground!) The only stamping I have had time to do is for the sneak peeks of the new releases for The Greeting Farm/Club Anya, which starts Sunday (the sneak peeks, I mean - the new stamps are released on the 15th!) I am also working on cards for Club Anya's Virtual Stamp night challenges which will happen on the 14th! You can find all of the info on the challenges HERE so you can have yours done early, too, and enter to win the prizes!
I had a great time on my cruise - we saw lots of Bald Eagles (which is kind of normal to me now because I see so many where I live), Puffins, Stellar Sea Lions, some Porpoises, and several Humpback Whales. The pictures of the whales don't show much, but it was so cool!
This was one of three separate whale sightings but none of the pictures were any better than this one. There were actually two here - You can see the water being blown by the second one.
The Stellar Sea Lions.
These porpoises looked like tiny Orca's and they played right next to the boat for a while.
We saw this Eagle on a little pond after the Cruise.
And these Dall Sheep were by the side of the road on our drive back home!
Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the first of the sneak peeks of the new Greeting Farm stamps!

Friendship Cards for my Father-in-Law
My father-in-law has some serious health issues that he has been struggling with for many years. The last couple of years have been particularly hard for him. He is a real fighter, I have to say. He asked me recently if I would make some cards for him to give to a few of his friends who have really been there for him, and these are two that I have made so far. They are not my usual style, because I don't think that would really suit my FIL.
The Details:
Stamps: Chasing Edwin and Butterfly Background-Magnolia, Sentiment - SU

TGF Farm Fresh Sketch Challenge
Hi! I am going to be out of town for the next couple of days (we are going on an Alaska Wildlife Cruise!) so I will set up my next couple of cards to autopost!
I mentioned the other day that I am just in love with sketches now, so I was so excited when I saw that the Farm Fresh Challenge at the Greeting Farm blog was a sketch challenge (and it is a wonderful sketch by Jessica the leader of the TGF and Club Anya DT teams!) I immediately saw the three dots in the left corner as a place to put something being juggled, so that's what I did! (I'm sure that came to mind because I had just bought new paper with these bowling pins, which made me think of juggling!) You can go HERE to see the sketch and get the details, so you can enter to win one of the fabulous prizes!
The details:
Stamps: Showtime and Sentiments - The Greeting Farm

Congratulations and Best Wishes......
to Marie, the creator of Anya and Ian and all of the other fabulous Greeting Farm stamps. Marie is getting married this weekend and I want to send her wishes for a loooong, happy marriage.
And the inside says.....
Because I don't have the Cake Topper set from The Greeting Farm I drew some clothes for Anya and Ian's wedding. The cake in the background and Anya's tiara and veil are from Jolee's. For the rings on the inside I used the same silver paper that is on the front and punched them out using 2 different sized circle punches and then put a crystal on for the diamond.
The Details:
Stamps: Dress Up - The Greeting Farm, Sentiment - Cloud 9 Design
DP: GCD Studios
Cardstock: Basic Black- SU, Base Weight White - Gina K, White - Neenah, Silver-?
Copics:
Skin: R00, E00,E11,R20
Anya's Hair: C3,C5,C7,C9
Ian's Hair: E50,E53,E55,E57
Clothes:C1,C3,C5,C7,RV91,RV93
Have a Wonderful Weekend!

The Joys of Sketches!
Lately I feel like I am constantly playing catch-up. There are never enough hours in the day and my list of things to do keeps growing and growing! I think because of this I am discovering the joys of card sketches! My favorite part of card making is the coloring and picking out the papers, but I really struggle with the layout. On the last couple of cards I've made (some I'll show you tomorrow!) I have turned to sketches and I am loving it! Today's card uses a sketch from back in April from Sketch Saturday (I have started keeping a 3-ring binder with sketches printed off that I like!)
The Details:
Stamps: Bear Hug (Gorjuss Girls #2), Sentiment CC Designs SugarPlums Sentiments
DP: Just retired Stamping Up
Cardstock:Close to Cocoa and Riding Hood Red (SU) Neenah White
Ribbon: SU grosgrain, and retired SU
Copics:
Skin: R00,e00,e11,r20
Hair:E43,E44,E47,E49
Bear:E71,E74,E77,R20
Clothes:R00,RV00,RV02,R02,R29,R39,C0,C1,C3
Thanks for stopping by to see me! I also just want to mention, in case you didn't know that the Greeting Farm had a new release yesterday with some really cute new stamps! I had to order one of each and I can't wait for them to get here!
