TGIF!
I had some time in my crafty room yesterday and I decided to look in my Sugar Nellie binder for some fall card inspiration. That's where I found Hazel and Nutty and I'm ashamed to admit that I think this is my first time coloring them up! It was worth the wait though because I had a blast with this pretty little fairy and her squirrelly friend. The papers are a random mix that I put together as I flipped through a stack of scraps and I just fell in love with this combo for a fall card even though there is none of the traditional oranges or reds that you usually find. Then I grabbed the Fancy Foliage die to accent the card design because I liked how it mimicked the white silhouettes in the paper. All in all it came together to be a pretty little card that I'm quite pleased with.
Take care and have a fabulous weekend everybody! :)

Hello, hello!
I've got one more card that I've made using the Simon Says Stamp Mini Pony Party exclusive set. For this one I paired up the remaining two magical pony pals with the cupcakes and stand to create a whole birthday party theme. I kept the rest of the card simple by just framing them in with a sweet stitched scallop die and sprinkled on a few buttons and sequins for good measure.
Ok, time for me to scoot as I've got a busy day ahead.
Laters!

Mornin' folks!
I've got another card to share using the sold out Simon Says Stamp Mini Pony Party set. This time around I had a blast doing a bunch of masking to get the cake and flowers in the cart and the cart hooked up to the sweet little pony. Now it looks like she is bringing the party with her wherever she goes. The bright, happy papers are from the Sunshine and Happiness paper pad and I tried to match the colors of the flowers in the cart to the flowers in the paper. Now if you missed out on grabbing this set while it was available don't be too heartbroken because a little birdie told me that new mini ponies may just be joining the TGF family next month! Woot, woot! :)
Have a good one everybody!

Olo!
I totally fell in love with the new Roberto's Rascals 4 Seasons Kids that were released this month and when they were part of a 24 hour flash sale I couldn't resist nabbing both sets. This sweet sweater wearing gal was a natural choice to ink up first considering I just pulled out all of my own cold weather clothes. I paired her up with the Fall Friends collection by Doodlebug and matched all of my Copic colors for her outfit to the papers. Now I'm wishing I could get my hands on this sweater myself because I would wear the heck out of a fall rainbow inspired top like this, LOL! I borrowed the Copic colors used on her hair from the Marker Geek Monday post for coloring pumpkins and I think it worked quite nicely. In the end it's a fun and happy card and I can't wait to get her male counterpart on a card as well.
Later gators! :)

Good morning!
Well here I am with my third and final entry for the My Favorite Things Card Design Superstar contest. This time around I wanted to use a cute human character stamp but I couldn't decide on which one to color up. Then I got the idea to use a bunch of them all together, so I cut a narrow strip of cardstock and stamped and masked the girls from four different Birdie Brown sets with just their head and shoulders showing. The sentiment is from an old retired MFT set called Clearly Sentimental About Audrey Hepburn and I have always loved this one in particular because it is so true. The funky stitched strip die added just enough interest to my white card base and I used a few splatters from the Distressed Patterns set to act as abstract leaves for the paper flower embellishments. Who wouldn't want to be a part of this happy group of friends? ;)
Alrighty, it's all out of my hands now... fingers crossed!

Hi-ya friends!
Some of us TGF Farmers are doing an impromptu post featuring the Simon Says Stamp Mini Pony Party Stamptember exclusive set today. When this was first planned the set was still available but sadly it is now completely sold out. There is a 'notify me' button on the page so maybe a few more will be added before Stamptember is over... fingers crossed! There are so many fun stamps included in this set besides the super adorable mini ponies and I paired up the heart with one of the great sentiments for my card. This little pegasus has such a glorious mane of hair that I figured she was the perfect choice to go with and since she can fly, the clouds seemed the ideal place for her to call home. There is certainly magic in the air here. :)
Now be sure to check out the cards my fellow Farmers have made over on the TGF blog.
Toodles!

Hello there!
I've decided to do a special weekend posting since I didn't want to miss getting the rest of my cards entered into the MFT Card Design Superstar contest before the deadline this coming week. So very quickly, in keeping within the theme of past and current pets, I couldn't resist this adorable pooch trying to mooch himself some breakfast. I have a spoiled ten year old Yorkie and even though he has slowed down a bit over the years he is still quick to nab any morsel that happens to fall to the floor while we cook. One of my favorite ecards that I've come across on Pinterest is, "There is no such thing as a five second rule when you have a two second dog." and he is definitely my two second dog so Pup Pup became my inspiration to mix the pots and pans from the Recipe for Happiness set with this canine connoisseur from the Lucky Dog set. I even borrowed the shelf from the I Knead You set so the salt and pepper shakers had a home. All in all it's another simple card that makes me smile but I figure if it makes me smile hopefully it will make a few others smile as well. :)
Laters!
