*****************

TGIF . . . Welcome to Farm Fresh Friday over at TGF Farm Fresh Challenge Blog.  Today I'll be sharing with you my creation - - - I've made a purse and a matching card to go with it.  We all have a mom in our lives, whether it's our biological mom, MIL, old family friend or neighbor.  This week for Farm Fresh Friday, we want you to make a card or project to honor that special mom in your life.

Here's my purse and card. 

Let's talk about this card . . . it's called the Magic Card.  I saw a card while blog surfing and fell in luv with it.  It was delicate looking and spoke volumes to me.  Yes, had to try it out.  I found it {HERE}.  If you look good, I altered 2 TGF images - - WS Stella's head and Flirty Anya's body.  I suppose she's now called a Flirty Stella.  :)

Flirty Stella stands out against that background don't ya think? Well, that background is a new set called SPLOTCHY.  You'll be able to purchase this set of 2 splotchy images on May 1st!  I sponged Victorian Velvet Distress Ink while still in the Circle Die and then stamped the Splotchy stamp with the same Distress Ink.  For more inspiration on using this SPLOTCHY set, check out the Splendid Stamping with TGF to see how the Design Team utilized this set.

Here's what the card looks like when you flip the cover open.  Once again, I used Splotchy around the sentiment. 

Now here is my purse.  I saw a purse that I wanted to try on this blog {HERE}.  The measurements were in cm, not in inches.  If you're like me, I just improvise and make up my own measurements.  In this case, I had to because I used my Heart To Heart Lace Doily Die to cut out the heart shape on thin coasters.  From there, I played with the measurements.

This is the front of the purse.

This is a picture of the purse opened up.  Sorry, I had to lay it down to keep the purse open.  It can definitely hold some treats or something special. 

The FFF challenges runs until Thursday, entries are due by 12 PM CST.  The winner will receive a free single TGF stamp of choice!  Please upload your challenge cards to TGF Galleria> Farm Fresh Challenges 2011> Farm Fresh Fridays 2011> I heart Mom.
