Little Miss Muffet Challenge #74~ALL WHITE on the Night!!

Happy Thursday everyone! So glad you've joined me today for my first post as part of the Little Miss Muffet Design Team! I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing team and so appreciative of this awesome opportunity!!

If you haven't checked out the LMM Challenge Blog yet, then be sure to click HERE! To check out the LMM Store and do some shopping click HERE!! There are some CUTE and ADORABLE stamps available in digi and rubber!!

The challenge for the next two weeks is:

ALL WHITE On The Night!!

(white, white and more white, but you can use colors in your image)

I used the super cute DEXTER GIVES!! You know how I love me some penguins and he was perfect for this White Challenge!! He's stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

Copics:

Penguin: C3, C5, C7, Black, YR02, YR04, YR07, YR09, N0, N2, Colorless Blender

I decided to make a circle card using a Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities. I used the Die-namics Tree Lines Die to make the bottom border which got a coating of Stickles. I cut out some extra trees and raised them with pop-dots. The background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes Embossing Folder. A Martha Stewart punch made the snowflakes in the top corner, which got a nice coating of Stickles and some pearls from Recollections.

For my card today, I used this super CUTE digi called There's a Penguin in my Cocoa! Isn't he the cutest thing ever?!! I printed him on X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with Copics. Okay so do you know why you don't craft when you are battling a sinus infection? Because you forget to color things, like his eyes, LOL!

The dps are from Echo Park REFLECTION CHRISTMAS 6x6 Paper Pad. I made the poinsettia in the corner using Spellbinders Poinsettia Creations Shapeabilities. The twine is from Maya Road.

By LORi Designs~Penny Peppermint!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Well this week is flying by like the rest of the year! Can you believe Christmas is around the corner? I don't even know where the year went!! Have you even started making your Christmas cards? Sadly I never have time to mass produce any so I usually end up buying cards for everyone. I know, I know...it's a sad, terrible thing! My hubby is like....why are be buying cards? And I'm like....well I had to mail them off as samples so I don't have them anymore, LOL!

I cut the corners using a Whimsy Corner Die. The striped flat brads and red bow were from a friend so I'm not sure who makes them.

TGF Farm Fresh Friday~WASHI TAPE!

Happy Friday Everyone!! Thank goodness the weekend is almost here. We hope you've been keeping up with the amazing changes that are happening around The Greeting Farm. Stay tuned because we have a lot more exciting things to come!! One of the changes is that we are having 1 challenge a week instead of 2. This will give us the opportunity to showcase new people, new products and have exciting new contests! 

This challenge idea was inspired by our newest kit called "My Heart", which was released on Nov. 1st. The challenge for the next week is: 

WASHI TAPE!

You can use washi tape stamps or actual washi tape....whatever you have on hand! :)

For my card today I used Oliver for OA-Valentine Set and the washi tape stamps and sentiment from the My Heart 6x9 kit. Oliver is stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

Heart: R22, R24, R27, R29

The dps are from Carta Bella Well Traveled 6x6 Paper Pad. The polaroid film die is from My Favorite Things. The "washi tape" and sentiment are stamps from the new My Heart Kit. I stamped the washi tape stamps on kraft cardstock, cut them out, and then tore the edges to mimic washi tape.

Here's how to play:

* You must use a TGF stamp (rubber, digi, or clear) as your main image.

* Entries must be uploaded via InLinkz (below) no later than November 14th, at NOON CST. You can add a direct link to your entry from your personal blog, SCS gallery, Flickr or TGF galleria. (If the InLinkz tool is missing, feel free to link your submission URL in the comment section.)

* The fabulous prize: A random participant will be selected to win their choice of an in-stock SINGLE RUBBER STAMP OR a 4x6 set! Our prize offering has increased for 2013- we hope you enjoy it!
  

Have a wonderful weekend!
