Monday Funday #18 - Key to My Heart

It's another Monday Funday at TGF's Farm Fresh Challenge blog and this week we are looking for the "Key to My Heart". 
My card is based with SU's Wisteria Wonder with layers of Whisper White and bubblegum pink.  The "u" is inked with Almost Amythyst craft ink, then set with deep impression clear embossing powder.  The border is Martha Stewart daisy.  The ribbon is from the dollar bin at Michaels.  The key is Tim Holtz, tied with a bit of white pearl embroidery floss, and topped with a heart from the SU heart trio punch.  The image is the new TGF Miss Anya Garland, colored in copic markers, then mounted with dimensionals.  The polka dots on her dress are added with a white gel pen.  The finishing touch is some stitching around the edge.

Friday Spyday #17 with Rachel!

This is the last Spyday of January and this week's spied Farm Friend is Rachel (aka raparys).  Rachel participates in a lot of our challenges and her projects are always gorgeous!  Here is Rachel's card:

Rachel's card

My card is base is SU Tempting Turquoise with layers of Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White.  The designer paper is Karen Foster pool tile.  The base is dry embossed with the Cuttlebug polka dots 5x7 embossing folder.  The image is Amelia from TGF's OA Surprise and colored in copic markers.  I used a classic square nestabilities die to cut Amelia's image, inking in Jet Black Staz-On, then matting it on a piece of Whisper White cardstock, inking the edges to look like a polaroid photo.  I added a bit of yellow polka dot ribbon with some adhesive and tiny staples from Tim Holtz.  The sentiment is punched out of a 1 1/4" circle and mounted on 1 3/8" circle, and a punched scalloped circle. 
Be sure to visit the Farm Fresh Challenge blog and play along with this week's challenge.  Thanks for looking!  April

TGF Chit Chat Night at SCS

This month's Chat and Challenge night at Splitcoast is Books!  Our fabulous farm friend, Rachel (aka raparys) is our host.  There will be three challenges you can enter: 1) favorite book - use keyword TGFCCN2, 2) favorite book turned movie - use keyword TGFCCN3, and 3) favorite children's book - use keyword TGFCCN4.  You will have the weekend to complete the challenges. 

Here is one of my entries.  I decided to make a favorite Twilight quotes page in my SMASH album.  I found all these great little icons online a long time ago, pics on Deviant Art, and quote stamps from Artful Inkables.  The quotes are stamped in Timber Staz-On.  The swirls, truck, and feathers are stamped in Versamark watermark ink.  I used the actual page from a worn copy for my favorite quote about Bella's truck.  The images of Bella & Edward are TGF's Camille & Edward coloring in copic.  I used scraps from my goodie pack I got from my heART Journalling (music scrap, tree scrap, map scrap) to make their background.  I found the Forks zipcode at CafePress.  The ticket is Tim Holtz.  The title is Close to My Heart's giggle lowercase and Inkadinkado's curly alphabet.  Thanks for looking!  April

Monday Funday #16 - Sentiment

It's Monday, and you all know what that means!  It's Monday Funday at the TGF Farm Fresh Challenge blog and this week it is "Must have a Sentiment" challenge.
The base of my card is SU's Whisper White with layers of Basic Black and Real Red.  The border is EK Success card suit.  The ribbon is from Michaels and topped with a black pearl.  The image is TGF's Cheeky Kitty digi, but I drew bunny ears and cut off her tail.  I used a mini pom pom for her fluffy tail and attached with a glue dot.  She is mounted with dimensionals.  I wanted a naughty playboy bunny to make it extra flirty.  The sentiment is made by TGF's Go Round retired sentiment set, an alphabet set from Target's dollar spot, and Inkadinkado's Curly Alphabet. 
Join us at the Farm Fresh Challenge blog to see the rest of the DT and to play along with this week's challenge!  Thanks for looking!  April

Friday Spyday #15 with Sabina



Sabina A's card

Well, those of us in Iowa got our first snowfall...baby, it's cold outside.  We were too spoiled with the fab weather and now, it just seems too cold.  What do we do when it's too cold outside?  Hit the craft table, of course!  Today's spied Farm Friend is Sabina A on Splitcoast Stampers.  I love Oliver and Amelia!  This is OA Journey Oliver and I love his little vagabond look...doesn't he look ready to jump on a train car?
My card is Very Vanilla with layers of Recollections Paris designer paper and eggplant cardstock.  The layers are inked with chalk ink cat's eye.  The tickets are Tim Holtz.  I used skittles with glue dots in place of the screw brads Sabina used.  The image is also from TGF's OA Journey, but I used Amelia colored in copic markers.  She is mounted with dimensionals.  The sentiment is a retired TGF Go Round  stamp in Elegant Eggplant ink, punched with a 1 3/8" circle and mounted on a piece of eggplant using the decorative punch. 
So, go, stamp, create and link up to the Farm Fresh Challenge blog to enter this week's Spyday challenge!  Thanks for looking!  April
