Club Anya Holiday Blog Hop!

Hello! Hello!

Welcome to the Club Anya Holiday Blog Hop! Today we are celebrating the newest stamp release at the Greeting Farm which will be available for purchase tonight at midnight CST... yeah!
If you haven't been already, head on over to the Club Anya blog to start the hop and keep referring back to it for the master hop list so you don't get lost along the way. I promise that you'll really want to make it through the entire hop because IN ADDITION to the fun awards that will be given out to a few lucky participants, ONE lucky commenter who completes the hop and then returns to Club Anya will be eligible to win tonight's ENTIRE RELEASE! Good luck! There are prizes GALORE tonight! :)
And if all that wasn't enough fun for you we also have a chat going on over at the Club Anya PCP page right now. The chatter is quick and lively and always a blast... hope to see ya there!

Ok, so I had a couple different ideas for my holiday hop card today and in the end I didn't even use a single "Christmas" TGF stamp at all... gasp!
I had the idea to create a Nutcracker themed card and right away knew that Ballet Anya would make a perfect Clara with just a few alterations to her dress. At first finding the perfect Ian to alter into the Nutcracker prince was a bit of a head scratcher but as soon as I came across Rescue Ian I knew I had a winner. All I did was wipe away his helmet and the stripes from his outfit then drew in his new costume and I love how he turned out. Now he looks ready to battle that mean ol' Mouse King! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!
