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
Hair: E40,E44,E47,E49

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!

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
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: E50,Y21,Y26,Y28
Clothes: R81,R83,R85,B95,B97,B99,E55,E57,E74,E77,E79

Tomorrow I will have another sneak peek of an upcoming Greeting Farm release!!
Thank You for visiting!

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

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a Wonderful Day!

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:

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!
