Oh my gourd...

Olo!    

Today I'm switching gears back to Fall with another stamp from the new Autumn Greetings collection at Purple Onion Designs. These cozy critters that make up the Tofu and Friends Autumn Greetings stamp have gathered up all the pumpkins from the garden and gathered together on a beautiful Fall day. The Birch Tree Background is making another appearance, but this time I did some tricky stamping to add a few extra trees into the scene. What a perfect Autumn day full of sunshine and friendship. The sentiment that I added to the bottom of the card is included with the Tofu and Friends Autumn Greetings stamp.  :)

Later gators!

Let's party...

Hey, hey!

I colored this fun Halloween scene during a Live a couple weeks back over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. We were celebrating the new Moon Dance Witchwees digital release at Sweet November Stamps and I went all out by using all four of the fabulous Witchwees on one long slimline card. I knew it would take us longer than the usual 2 hours that I try to keep my Lives under but it was worth the extra time to see Witchwee Tabitha, Witchwee Edwina, Witchwee Sabrina and Witchwee Hester all dancing together under the moonlight. After the Live I stamped the bats from the Front Porch Halloween Decor clear set up in the sky and the sentiment from Honey Bee actually continues onto the inside of the card with an extra large Happy Halloween greeting. 

Have a magical day!

Last call for the Anya Reboot 2 kit...

 


Hi there!

Today is the last day to pre-order the new Anya Reboot 2 kit at The Greeting Farm 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. Included in the kit are eight fresh takes on previous rubber Anyas plus one brand new Anya, as well as a few accessories and three sentiments.

My first card features a super cute new take on Do Si Do Anya who was originally released back in 2012. Of course I had to create a farm scene for this down home sweetie so I grabbed the hen from the Fun on the Farm set and the little chicks from the retired Happy Easter set to march along in front of Anya. Beside her I added the cute pup in the flower barrel from the Flowers Anya set. Such a bright and happy scene!


Next, we have a brand new Anya that Marie is calling Cozy Anya. I can never have enough Anyas dressed for chilly days in sweaters and knit caps so Cozy is a welcome addition to my collection. I wanted her to be enjoying a lovely fall walk so I paired her with some background builders from the
Felix the Fox set and the chipmunk and hedgie from the retired Mini Remix Wild set.


 

Finally, Frappi Anya, originally released in 2014, is another recipient of a rather dramatic make-over. She has kept the big bow in her hair but the rest of her outfit has totally changed. Everything I needed to create the coffee shop background was found in the Coffee Beans kit and a handy dandy brick wall stencil. I wonder who that extra frappi is for?

Now don't miss out on getting your hands on this fantastic kit!  :)
