New Frosty Friends kit at TGF!

 

Good morning!

Exciting news at The Greeting Farm! After a bit of a hiatus, TGF is back with a brand new big kit that is now up for pre-order and it is perfect for the holidays. You can order the Frosty Friends kit through August 16th for the discounted price of $42. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50. This kit includes 13 adorable little snowmen, 9 sentiments and 9 accessory images to help you create all sorts of winter scenes with these cuties. I've divided them all up into three separate posts during this pre-order week.

My first card features the sweet snowman sharing a scarf with his giant polar bear pal. I stamped the stack of gifts first and masked them off before stamps the friends so that when the mask was removed it looks like they are about to open their gifts on Christmas Eve. Because this scene is more Christmas themed I did borrow a sentiment from the Holiday Anya 13 set.

 

And for my second card, we kind a darling snowman seated on a park bench next to his bunny bestie. The house and trees are one big background stamp that is included in the set and I can't even express how much I love it. I can totally see working it in with so many other TGF characters during my holiday card making. The sentiment is one that is included in the Frosty Friends kit and I thought it was perfect with these two.

Ok, that's all for today. I will be back with more sweet snowmen later in the week.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

First Day digi release at Sweet November!

 

Hello friends!

It's been a minute but we are back with a new digital stamp release at Sweet November Stamps. The First Day collection is all about celebrating the back to school season with four cute kiddos to choose from as well as a wise teacher and friendly crossing guard. And don't think that we forgot to include some background builders to go with these little scholars, there is also lockers, desks and a chalk board to help you create the perfect back to school scenes.

First up we have First Day: Mrs. James welcoming First Day: Eliza to her class room. Behind them you can see the Teacher's Desk and Chalk Board with a special message for everybody's favorite teacher.

Next, First Day: Crossing Guard Tony is out front of the school every morning to make sure that the students all arrive safe and sound for another day of learning. At the moment he is ushering First Day: Tanner and First Day: Lainey across the cross walk... no dilly dallying Tanner!
 

Finally for today we have First Day: Kenny and First Day: Eliza hanging out in front of their lockers before class starts.

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more First Day fun from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PDT over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!

 

Dropping you a line...

TGIF! 

I'm heading back to the lake today, with these cute critters from the Fishing Buddies set at Hello Bluebird. I paired this duo of fishing friends with the Skating Pond Scene die, though I didn't use the scene die in the traditional way. Because I still wanted to do my usual background coloring, I used a scrap piece of card stock to cut it out then I traced the tree and shoreline pieces, using a brown multi liner pen, directly onto the card front. It really was a pretty quick and easy way to get a background started. Next, I added the fish and lily pads before coloring up the entire scene. The final touch was adding the sentiment that is also part of the Fishing Buddies set. I've been having so much fun with this release that it is going to be sad seeing summer come to an end. ;)

Have a good one!
