Hi! For all of you that are fellow Greeting Farm fans, has this been an exciting week or what?! I am thrilled with the announcement of the couple of new Farmers - I am such a fan of Melyssa, Randi and Mary's work!! They are just amazingly talented!! And the new Sprouts styled by Amy are so cute!! I can't wait to get my hands on them!! I am also having so much fun playing in the 12 Days of Christmas sketch challenges TGF is doing!

Almost myself again....

Wow, it feels like forever since I've posted! I was so excited about the big blog hop last Wednesday with Club Anya and The Greeting Farm and wouldn't you know, the night before I started getting an itchy throat and cough. By mid afternoon on Wednesday I had a fever and just felt awful. I missed two days of work, but was feeling ok enough by Saturday to go see Spamalot (I have a Wonderful, Fabulous friend who got me and my DH tickets for Christmas!). That was fun! I feel almost normal again.


I haven't really felt up to crafting over the last couple of days, but I had made this card for my niece's birthday early last week. I know it borrows from a theme I've used before, but I just love the digi Unicorn and Princess Anya (both from The Greeting Farm) together! The DP on this card is Basic Grey. I used some little jewels from the jewelry making section of the craft store and some Prima flowers (I colored the large one with the same color Copic marker that I used on the dress although in the picture it doesn't look like the same color.) The images are colored with Copics:

Uni:V01,V04,V06
Skin: E00,E11,RV02
Hair: E50,Y000
Dress: RV04,RV06,RV09 RV91,RV93,RV95

Thanks for visiting me!

Anya, the Unicorn Princess!

Hi everyone! I had this idea that it would be really sweet if Princess Anya (from The Greeting Farm) could ride the Unicorn (also from The Greeting Farm, in digital form). So I thought I'd make her standing next to the Unicorn, getting ready to ride. The problem was that with the Unicorn printed to a size where he didn't take up the whole card front Anya just looked way too big to be riding on him. So I placed Anya on top of the frame, and I like to think that she's looking across the field, and getting ready for her first Unicorn ride!

I've been asked a few times to list the marker colors I used and so I will try to keep track of them from now on. I don't want to scare anybody off who is thinking of starting to use Copics, because I have seen many beautiful cards made using just a few markers. I am not much of a "less is more" girl, though, when it comes to coloring! So, for this card I used :

Skin: E00, E02, RV21 (Cheeks)
Hair: (Cream Prisma Marker - I do not yet have a pale yellow/almost off white Copic that would be good for the lightest part of the hair here. I tried Y000 at first but it had a slight green cast. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd love to hear it), plus Y21, Y26, Y28.
Blues (on Unicorn and Dress): B000, B01, B02
Pinks:RV21, RV23, RV25
Green:YG03, YG17
And I forgot to mark down what oranges I used on the flowers, sorry.

The DP is Little Yellow Bicycle. The flowers are Prima, with Swarovski crystals (from the jewelry craft section) glued in the centers. The pink flower was white and I used my Copics to make it match. And, finally, there is LOTS of Dazzling Diamonds glitter (SU) on the Unicorn, crown and wand!

I hope everyone has a great weekend, filled with whatever makes them happiest!
