It's a Rockin Rebel blog hop!

HELLO TGF ROCKSTARS!
WELCOME TO OUR RELEASE DAY BLOG HOP!

The wait is over... Flo and Jo, the adorable new grandparents on the Farm, our beautiful Fleur Anya, sweet Cuddle Anya, and THURSDAY our first in the BRAND NEW line of rubber "Creepers" are all finally available at TGF! It's a ROCKIN' RELEASE DAY for sure... so be sure to head on over to the TGF store. :)

But WAIT... that's NOT all... we have been BURSTING over here trying soooo hard not to leak the secret that's been lurking over in the barn of ideas....and today we can finally SCREECH it from the rooftops... or should I say, from the nearest stadium? Sound stage? Ampitheatre maybe? Anyway you scream it, it's with a REBEL YELL....

That's right folks! BACK...by POPULAR DEMAND...we bring you:

WHAT is ROCKIN' REBEL?
Rockin Rebel is a contest in which YOU get to design a card, layout, or altered item based on your favorite musical artist, icon, or band. Alter away, or stay true to your stamp, either way, we want to see who ends up on your ROCKIN' REBEL project!

WHEN is ROCKIN' REBEL?
RIGHT NOW! The contest begins today and will end on Friday, May 13th at 8pm CST. The winning entry will be announced on SATURDAY May 14th on the CA&F and TGF blogs and we'll be sure to show a few honorable mentions, too! Last time the competition was FIERCE and the ideas were insane... in like, a GOOD way. AMAZING actually! So put your thinking caps, iPods, or MTV on and we can't WAIT to see what you come up with!

Please upload your creation to TGF Galleria>Contests/Challenges>Rockin Rebel 2.

WHAT's THIS I HEAR ABOUT A PRIZE?
Oh it's a big one....in traditional TGF Fashion.
ONE lucky winner will receive their choice of.... (drum roll, please...after all this IS a ROCKIN' contest!) SPOTLIGHT... or... ROLL CALL!

Can you stand it? We know... we ROCK ;)
The FINE print:
Only ONE entry per person as we want to give everyone a fair shot at this very Rockin' prize. Please use ONLY TGF stamps with the exception of sentiments. Altering IS acceptable, but we need to see the stamp (as in, it needs to be clear who you are using :)
IF you are a new gallery user, you must email your name, address, SCS ID and blog information to Jessica. Contact info is on our Club Anya
Official Rules Page. Unfortunately during the Royal Battle it was brought to our attention that accounts were being created using multiple ID's under the same user :( Shame :( Oh well, hopefully this will help!


Last but not least, be sure to check out the ROCKIN' DT today as their creations always go platinum in my book! Here is the order of our DT Blog Hop today. We are also excited to welcome a few special guests from our TGF DT, too! Don't forget to make the rounds! In addition to this FANTASTIC contest, one lucky winner will walk away with the ENTIRE MAY CA&F RELEASE! (Fleur, Cuddle, and Thursday!) The winner will be announced tomorrow on the CA&Friends blog!

ROCK ON everyone...and good luck! Happy Release Day from everyone at Team Anya and TGF!



So I'll be the first to admit that my card for today isn't exactly "rockin" but since I had to use one of the fab stamps from this new release my mind went in a more singer/songwriter direction and Fleur Anya was suddenly looking very Colbie Caillat-ish to me. ;)
So I did a bit of altering by wiping away some of the flowers from her hair and replacing her arms with Rock star Anya's arms and guitar... after I had altered the guitar from an electric to an acoustic one. Then is was just a matter of adding some lyrics from her Bubbly song and voila!

BUT you just know that the Gleek in me couldn't pass up this opportunity to finally start playing around with those Glee Sprouts I joked about a few months back... heeheehee! So of course I've got one more card to share. ;)
And the first two characters that I got made up are... can you tell who they are? Yep, it's Rachel and Finn shining in the spotlights (and the spotlight idea was totally inspired by Melissa... thanks Melissa!) Boy was this a fun one, and I've already got several other characters waiting in the wings so don't be surprised to see them make an appearance on the blog every now and then!

Okey dokey have a rockin' day my friends!
