Counting my blessings...

Good morning!

This is a week to focus on everything I have to be thankful for and there is so much that is making me happy right now. I've got a good job, great friends and a wonderful hobby that all come together to fill my days with so many blessings. I made this card to reflect those warm and fuzzy feelings using this cute from the long retired Pumpkins on the Vine stamp set by There She Goes stamps. How cute is she in that funny little pumpkin bonnet?! I colored her into a quick fall scene then paired her with a nice, big sentiment from Hello Bluebird to balance out the card design. The wood grain cardstock lends some nice rustic charm as well. :)

See ya in 24!

Season's Greetings...

Hello!

Just a quick Sunday post to share this card that I made for the August release at The Greeting Farm. These two snuggle bugs are part of the #Couplegoals set and they actually inspired me to make my first Christmas card of 2018 this past summer. Now that the weather has become much more frosty I figured it was a good time to get it posted here. I stamped this cozy couple in desert sand ink for some no line coloring and placed them low on the die cut circle so they wouldn't look like a pair of floating heads. Instead it appears that they are peeking into the frame from below. The paper is an oldie but a goodie from Pebbles and a nice big die cut sentiment helps pull the whole design together. :)

Laters! 

Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Cryogen curious metallics white

Alice in Wonderland...

Who's ready for a brand new digital release from Moonlight Whispers?! If you hadn't guessed already, the theme this month is all about Alice in Wonderland. There are three new digital stamps that you can find available in the Moonlight Whispers Etsy shop right now!
The first Alice image is called Curiouser & Curiouser and has her falling down the rabbit hole. This was a fun challenge to try and color in a dynamic dirt background, LOL! But I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I think there is a definite sense of movement which is what I was going for.  

Next up we have the Queen of Hearts in the Off With Their Head image. She is in fine form, ranting and raving out on the croquet course. :)

And finally we have Alice again, this time just as she is being introduced to the Cheshire Cat in the We're All A Little Mad image. It was a lot of fun coloring all of these up, it really felt like working on pages for a book. And if you love all three of these images as much as I do, be sure to take advantage of the bundle deal special that Annie has in her shop right now!

The Sweet November Vault...

Hello friends!

So today we are starting a new monthly feature at 7 Kids called the Sweet November Vault. Basically, the Vault is a special 24 hour period where we bring back a few select 'classic' Sweet November rubber images and convert them to a new digital format. So if you missed getting them 'back in the day' now is your chance... and they are quite the deal too! 

Our first two treasures from the Vault are a pair of Christmas Fairwees from 2011 and I guess the question we have to ask is... are you ready to travel back to Sweet November Land? There is a chill in the air and snow on the ground as the inhabitants of this magical place prepare for the most magical day of the year. We should try to find those smallest of the small inhabitants of SN Land, the Fairwees, because I hear that they really know how to celebrate the season in a BIG way!

Now that the snow has finally let up and the sun is shining across the fresh blanket of white that covers the ground it is easy to spot a bit of movement over near the skating pond. As we make our way over we find tiny Fairwee Piper putting the finishing touches on a wee little snowman friend. She has taken great care putting him together and she's hoping that with just an extra bit of Christmas magic he might come to life once she places that hat on his head. Do you think it will work? Piper's sweet "squee" of excitement and the sudden blinking of his tiny coal eyes proves that we never should have doubted the enchantment of this place. 

The snow is starting to come down as we make our way out into a clearing... better bundle up tight. Watching the snowflakes dance as they descend to the ground is a magical experience here in Sweet November Land because as we all know that there are always lovely snowflake fairies to be found here this time of year. And little Fairwee Emaline must know that as well because she is doing her best to be as graceful and lovely as those fairies she looks up to. I don't have the heart to tell her that her snow dance looks more like the hokey pokey than a ballet, LOL!
Still, Emaline is having fun and her joy is rather infectious as it is hard to resist not doing a twirl or two in the snow ourselves.

Be of good cheer...

TGIF my friends! 

We've got a fun day planned over at the 7 Kids Customers Create Facebook page for tomorrow. For 24 hours only the Sweet November vault will open with two classic Sweet November stamps that were previously released in rubber and have now been converted to digital stamps. So if you missed them the first time around, tomorrow is the chance to snag them at a great price! There will also be two live coloring videos tomorrow featuring the vault stamps so I hope to see some of you there at 11am and 3pm PST. Because I have been busy getting ready for the release I figured this would be the perfect time to post this Chillburrr card that I colored during a Live on the 1st. For this one I paired him up with some stamps from Art Impressions to create a down home winter farm scene. :)

Alrighty, time for me to get back to work getting ready for tomorrow!

We will have more cards featuring the new stamps from our Design Team Leaders starting tomorrow so be sure to stop back by The Greeting Farm Blog to see more inspiration. 

For my hop card today I really wanted to pair up this classic Garden Anya with a bunch of the flora from the new Potted Plants set. I envisioned her enjoying a warm afternoon in her solarium tending to all the growing things she loves to surround herself with. From the look of things Anya has quite the green thumb, LOL! I really can't wait to see what other kinds of scenes I can sneak one or two of these plants into, they are so perfect for decorating rooms for my character stamps.  :)

Ok then, I won't keep ya longer... enjoy the hop!
