Wild Sprouts Finn and Wild Sprouts Jilly?

Hello, hello my fellow stampers! Hope you are having a lovely start to this fresh, new week! Things are great here in my little world. :)
Are you getting tired of seeing my Sprout ideas yet? Well, I think I've hit the mid-way point in the sketches I've made so there are still going to be a few more posts of them... just hang in there. :)

Meet Finn.
Finn is that boy with the laid back attitude. He's friends with everyone and loves to just hang out and chill with his buddies.

Meet Jilly.

Jilly is a tomboy who is happiest when she's out climbing a tree or playing ball with the guys... she wouldn't be caught dead wearing a dress! But even though she puts on a tough front, inside she is as sweet as can be.

Wild Sprouts Quinn and Wild Sprouts Alec?

Hello, hello! Hope you all are having a lovely weekend. Mine has been fabulous... all play and no work makes Amy a happy girl. :)
So today's Wild Sprouts additions were not on my original list of ideas but it was like the pencil began guiding itself until they were both fully realized on the paper in front of me. Crazy, I know! But I think there is a little nerd in all of us, right? LOL! Age of the geek, baby! :)
Meet Quinn.
Quinn may be a little awkward and shy in person but she takes charge when she logs in and becomes a level 75 Tauren shaman... for the Horde!

Meet Alec.

Alec's second language is HTML and he is never far from his trusty laptop. Legend has it that he has the fastest texting hands in the west... ;)

Wild Sprouts Max and Zoe and a winner!

Good Saturday morning fellow stampers!
First things first, let's get to what you've all been waiting for... the candy winner. Random.org picked a low one and apparently birthdays are lucky because CraftyJenn is our big winner! Congratulations Jenn! :)
Email me at pete_danger@hotmail.com with your mailing addy and I will get your goodies out to you on Monday.
Secondly, after reading the comments on yesterday's Sprout post I was sad to see some of you getting discouraged about entering your own designs. Please don't be. I can draw. It's just something I've always been able to do. I can't sing, I can't dance and I can't do math problems in my head... we all have our gifts BUT this challenge isn't even about the drawing. It's about sharing your ideas. Even if drawing isn't your gift you may still have the winning design idea so enter the challenge! :)
As for me I'm gonna keep playing with them because this is way too much fun. I was on a role yesterday and got these two on cards and the bonus... both are for challenges! Max is this week's Farm Fresh sketch challenge and Zoe is for the Diedrich Dares. :) I gotta say, I love how Max came out so I think I might as well enter him as one of my three today... hope I don't change my mind later.
Meet Max.
Max is a curly haired cutie who is always up for an adventure whether that is the first day of school or a hike through the woods. He's got his backpack and he's good to go!

Meet Zoe.

Zoe is a total girly-girl and she loves dressing up in her new sundress. This little beauty has style and grace and she is just as sweet as can be.

Wild Sprouts Jinx and Wild Sprouts Guy?

So if you are a friend of the farm you've probably seen that there is a "Design My Sprout" challenge going on over there. As soon as Marie issued the challenge my mind began to race... there are just so many little Sprouts that I would love to see come to life! These are my first two ideas but definitely not my last. That's why I'm going to hold off on posting any to the actual challenge just yet, I want to make sure I pick my fave three and since Marie gave us 'til the 24th I'm gonna wait. Still, I wanted to share here because this is just way too much fun! :)
First off meet Jinx.
Jinx is 99% angel with just that hint of a wild side. She's a contemporary little gal with a short sassy 'do and rocking her fave pair of jeans.

Now meet Guy.

Guy loves hanging out and playing on his hand-held video game system... I think he's even made it to level 10 on his new favorite game already! His hair may be a bit on the shaggy side but he's no little hooligan. ;)

I hope you like these first two attempts... I'm off to get a couple more out of my head and onto paper. Oh and don't forget that today is the last day to get your name into my blog candy drawing, tomorrow I will announce the winner!

Hi and bye

Yikes! I slept in this morning and I have to get ready for work so this post is going to be super fast. Back during the "Week of Challenges" at Club Anya, Mari put up a card using Rock the Farm Anya at the beach. I loved that idea so much that I just had to take it one step further and add in some altering and friends. This card is the result... thanks for the inspiration Mari!
There's not much time left to get your name in my candy so if you would like a shot at winning click here!
Later! :) Supply list:
cardstock- Kraft and GP
paper- KI Memories (yellow) My Mind's Eye ( stripe) Karen Foster ( sand and sky)
stamps- The Greeting Farm (Rock the Farm Anya, Flutter Anya, Dress Up Anya body and clothes, Surfer Ian)
Ranger Stickles
misc buttons

Copic multiliner pen 0.1 and 0.3

Button, button who's got the button...

So I went in a bit of a different direction with this week's Anyone for Anya challenge. The challenge is to use buttons, brads and bows on a card and I decided to change things up a bit and make my own decorative buttons using my TGF fairy stamps. The process is pretty simple; I started with some Technique Tuesday chipboard tiles, inked them up with some color and then stamped the image on with black ink. I then used a small hole punch to make the button holes and once that was done I used Versamark ink and UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) set with my heat gun to give them a shiny appearance. Voila! TGF buttons! Too bad I can't wear them on a coat or something... ;)
The candy, candy, candy is still going strong so if you haven't yet posted for a chance to win go here. :)
I'm Audi! :)

FFF inside counts challenge

Hello, hello! I had a wonderful day yesterday and I even managed to get a couple cards done too. This one if for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at The Greeting Farm. This week we had to "make the inside count". So I cut the front of the card a little over an inch shorter than the back side and punched the edge, this gave me the space to stamp one of the bunnies on the inside and still have him show while hiding the surprise image. Because I stamped and colored right on the card base the polka dot paper wraps all the way around the back to cover the Copic bleed through and make it all pretty. :)
Well I'm off to work today, here's the link to my candy if you haven't checked that out yet.
