Hello Farm friends!
Today I am posting on the brand new TGF blog
that goes along with the brand new TGF store site. If you haven't checked it out yet you should, it's beautiful! For my DT post today I was once again drawn to the big eyed beauties that don't have a category name yet. This sweet girl is called Need Coffee and for good reason, just look at that venti sized to-go cup you can add to her hand. I've inked up Need Coffee
in desert sand to do the no-line coloring technique but instead of coloring in a scene again I thought that this time it would be fun to mask her off and stamp in a playful background behind her. I knew I had this great heart shaped coffee stain stamp in my stash so I grabbed it and went to town. This inspired me to tie this coffee themed card into the upcoming Valentine holiday as well. So I dug around some more and found the perfect sentiment to complete the entire card as well as these cute coffee bean paper and stickers from Doodlebug. Now while she may LOVE her coffee she loves you even more... how many of us can relate to that? LOL!

Hello friends!
They started up a brand new 12 Days of Coloring Challenge over at the Some Odd Girl Facebook group and once again I am playing along. I'm feeling very much ahead of the curve this time because I've actually used two of the images I've colored to create this card before the challenge has even ended... go me! The background is the super cool Gnome Town digi blown up quite large to really fill up the card front and Leaf Magic Fairy is flying onto the scene to visit an old friend. I really feel like I've stepped into a fairy tale with this scene. :)
Ok, much to do so I should mosey. Have a good one!

Hello again!
Soooo... it's no secret that I love Greeting Farm stamps and I have a hard time resisting the big rubber stamp kits whenever they are released. It just makes me giddy adding so many cute new characters to my collection all at one time. So when the newest Sparkle collection was released I snapped it right up. The Beans are super adorable and this time around they are bedecked in feathers and jewels. Perhaps it's just me but I imagine the little Beans kinda as the Minions of the TGF family of characters... small and innocent looking but full of fun and mischief! Usually the kits name each stamp individually but this one didn't so I'm not sure who this darling girl is, I guess I will just call her Giggles. I wanted to color Giggles to look like this pretty sunset paper and I'm really happy with how she turned out. :)
Ok, it's gonna be a busy week around here so I hope you come back and check it all out!
Later gators!

TGIF!
Happy Groundhogs Day, I wonder if that little critter is going to see his shadow or not? I'm really hoping that spring comes early this year because I am sick and tired of the ice and snow. Perhaps that is why I am finding myself being drawn to pretty spring time colors when I go searching through my paper stash. This colorful print caught my eye right away and I knew just the stamp to pair with it. The new Uptown Girl Snapshots are so much fun and this one called I Heart You is a favorite of mine. I love how these stamps look like old Polaroid pictures, they don't require a whole lot of coloring so they make for a pretty quick and easy card. I even found an old push pin stamp in my stash so it looks like the snapshot has been pinned to the wooden boards behind it. :)
Ok then, time for me to get ready for work. Stay crafty my friends!

Mornin' friends!
I decided it was high time to color up this darling stamp from WPlus9 called Miss You Lots. I simply adore this little gal and her fluffy kitten and I thought they could make for a cute Valentine. So I started coloring them up but once that was done I was a bit lost on what direction to go from there. Luckily my sister Tracy was there and she always has great ideas so I asked what I should do with this cutie... cut her out and put her on some pretty paper? Color a scene in behind her? If so should she be indoors or outdoors? So Tracy took a look at her and said that it would be cool if I colored in our local humane society building behind them, creating a wonderful adoption scene. I really loved this idea but it scared me too... what if I completely messed it up? But I took a deep breath and accepted the challenge. First I googled a picture of the Humane Society so I had a reference to work from and then I just started to sketch it in. There were so many times during the coloring process that I didn't think it would ever come together, until finally it did and it was such a relief! I chose this sentiment to finish off the card because I love how it can be read from either the girl's or the kitten's perspective. Most of my own animals have been rescues and in my experience they find you just as much as you find them. :)
Well thanks for stopping by today, I'll catch ya on the flip side!

Howdy folks!
So I've got a fun twist on a Valentine today and this one is heading way out west with the awesome Cowboy Country papers by Carta Bella and these two cuties from Nellie Snellen. I've had Sweet Cowgirl and Revolver Hero in my stamp stash for some time now and as soon as I saw the Cowboy Country paper collection I knew I had to get my hands on it just for these cuties. I especially love the cut apart papers that come in these collections because you can get so many fun card backgrounds out of just one 12x12 sheet. The arches seemed to be a good fit for this cowboy and his sweetheart as they are dancin' and romancin' out where the deer and the antelope play, LOL! If you couldn't tell, I had a lot of fun with this card. ;)
Well, I've gotta get moving. Have a good one!

Hey there!
So this is my last Tuesday blog post for 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store because as of February 1st we are moving everything over to Facebook. No worries though, myself and the rest of the 7 Kids team will still be posting weekly inspiration in the 7 Kids Customers Create Facebook page along with new bi-weekly challenges for even more crafty fun.
For my card today I have inked up this
darling group of snuggle buddies from Dreamerland Crafts called, All Snuggled Up.
This darling boy and his sleeping pups totally melt my heart, it just doesn't get much better than cuddling with warm, wiggly puppers. As I was coloring them up I decided that they needed to be sharing a big, cozy bed so I set about to make that happen. Lots of wood grain and blue is going on here, which I feel adds a more masculine touch, with a few strategic pops of red to help lead your eye through the design. All in all I am quite pleased with how this sweet scene came together.
Alrighty, so there is still about two weeks to get your entries in for the January "anything goes challenge". It's the final blog challenge before they move over to the Facebook group as well so get crafty and head on over to the 7 Kids blog for a chance to win the $20 gift certificate!
