Cupcake Wishes!

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Did you watch the Women's World Cup Soccer?  Such a bummer for the USA . . . however, as US goalie Hope Solo said in an interview, much respect for the JAPAN team and well deserved.  Now, on to our Farm Fresh Challenge Blog MM challenge.  Our Team Captain, Rachel, chose this card created by Paula . . . 

Here is my CASE'ing of Paula's beautiful card.  Instead of a circle card, I decided to make a hexagon shaped card.  Since I used this yummy paper by BasicGrey, I had to color up Cupcake Anya (digi), she's perfect for it!  Oh yes, lots of buttons and a fun sentiment attached with a leaf stick pin.

A closeup of Cupcake Anya and her delish strawberry cupcake!  Yummo!

The Mystery Monday contest runs until Sunday, entries are due by 12 PM CST.  The winner is chosen by random draw and will win a free TGF single stamp of choice, so good luck!  Please post your cards in the TGF Galleria - Home > Farm Fresh Challenges 2011 > Mystery Mondays > Paula.

Oh Where, Oh Where Is My Prince Charming?

Happy Monday!  As some of you may already know, there have been some major issues with the server over at The Greeting Farm Galleria.  Due to those technical difficulties, we are postponing the annoucement of contest winners until we can review all entries.  :)  Thanks for being patient!

Today we are CASE'ing . . . Kim Dellow!  I have had the honor of working with Kim on another DT and she is amazing at what she does!  :)  Here is her card for our Mystery Monday CASE'ing at Farm Fresh Challenge Blog:

Beautiful Kim!  Now here is what I came up with.  Oh yes, another princess is in the house!  I'm just adoring these new princesses can't you tell? 

This time I went for the Royal, deep, purple velvet look.  I just can't get away from coloring the crown any other color than yellow/gold.  Princess No.03 is colored with copics and cut out with the Reverse Wonky Rectangles.  See the bigger one matted behind the image?  Well, I hand cut this shape because I need a large size.   

Here's a closeup of the Princess.  I don't know if I would be smiling if my Prince Charming got lost and couldn't be man enough to ask for directions. 

The Monday CASE contest runs until Sunday, entries are due by 12 PM CST.   The winner is chosen by random draw and will win a free TGF single stamp of choice, so good luck!  Please post your cards in the TGF Galleria - Home > Farm Fresh Challenges 2011 > Mystery Mondays > Kim Dellow.

****AS OF NOW the Galleria is still down so please leave a comment with a link to your card. Please come back later in the week to recheck where to upload your projects. Sorry for the hassle and thanks!

***Don't forget! You now have two ways to play! You can either CASE the card (as the DT has done below) OR you can use it as an inspiration piece. Meaning that you can make the same style of card, use the same colors, etc, just as long as we can tell that you got your ideas from the showcased card.

It's Your Day Big Boy!

Today is Mystery Monday at Farm Fresh Challenge Blog.  I'm hosting it this week and I hope you'll be able to join us for a great CASE'ing!  :)

I've chosen Melyssa's card . . . her card just popped out and I luv all the fun, bright colors, not to mention the many layers of paper!  :)  Here's her card . . .

I hope I can do Melyssa justice!  Here's my card using Oh Boy Ian.  I didn't want to fiddle with the layout too much, just added different shapes to the layers.  I created this card for a friend's son who turned 1 last week.  His birthday party is coming up so thought I'd get a head start and make my card.  I hope he enjoys his BIG day!  :)

This is a close-up of Oh Boy Ian.  This was the first time I've used my new copic E87 and E81!  I blended it with YG95 & YG93 for Ian's pants.

This One's 4 U!

Happy Monday!  I'm back with a MM post . . . Mystery Monday CASE'ing Tanya Tahir.  It was my turn to pick a card for the TGF Galleria to CASE and found Tanya's card {HERE}.  I loved everything about it! 

Here's my take on CASE'ing her card.

I hung my banner up above Wild Sprout Elena, who is the newest Sprout just released on May 1st!  I propped Elena on a doily and curled the edges upward to give it dimension.

I tried to take a photo of Elena's sunglasses . . . Glossy Accents was added for a shiny effect.

The Monday CASE contest runs until Sunday, entries are due by 12 PM CST. The winner is chosen by random draw and will win a free TGF single stamp of choice, so good luck! Please post your cards in the TGF Galleria > Farm Fresh Challenges 2011 > Mystery Mondays > Tanya Tahir.

Mystery Monday's CASE'ing . . .

I sure hope you had a great weekend! Today is Mystery Monday's over at the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog. We are CASE'ing a very special card by Wanda, click {HERE} to see her beautiful card.

Here is my take on Wanda's card. I fell in luv with the reds in her card that I decided to CASE that into my card. The layout of my card is flip flopped from Wanda's creation and used one of the Anya's in the Miss Anya Collection. She is perfect for an Easter card holding some flowers in her basket. I added a banner with the sentiment, "Happy Easter Sweetie!". Yes, Easter is soon approaching and I have lots to do. I am dedicating this week to Easter projects/cards so stay tuned!

The Monday CASE contest runs until Sunday, entries are due by 12 PM CST.  Upload your creation to the Galleria > Farm Fresh Challenges 2011 > Mystery Mondays Case > Stampcatwg.  The winner will be chosen by a random drawing and will receive a free TGF single of choice.  Good luck and thanks for stoppin' by!

Mystery Monday . . . SMILE!

Happy Monday!  I hope y'all had a great weekend!  As for me and my family, the "bug" has hit us once again . . . we are going on Round 2 with sore throats, coughs, and runny noses.  How miserable, but you just gotta roll with the punches right?  :)

Today is Mystery Monday CASE'ing . . . Markie's Mom!  Check out the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog to see the wonderful CASE'ings the DT put together!

Here is my take on Markie's Mom's card.  I used Creeper Crew Jill from the Creepin Kit.  I colored her with my copics a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad I didn't used her until today.  She looks a little, tiny bit grumpy, but as the sentiment says, "SMILE"!  Yep, even if we're all feelin' miserable from colds, we have to SMILE . . . at least we know the cold will go away if we take our vitamins, drink a lot of water, and get rest.

A close up of Jill.  You can't really see it, but I added Glossy Accents to her eyes.  Thought it was fitting to have glassy eyes, just like when one is sick.  :)

The Mystery Monday CASE contest runs until next Sunday.  Entries are due by 12 PM CST.  The winner will be chosen by random draw winning a free TGF single stamp of choice.  Please post your cards in the TGF Galleria >Farm Fresh Challenges 2011>Mystery Mondays>Markie's Mom.

Mystery Monday CASE'ing . . .

Well hello there!  Today is Mystery Monday . . . the girls over at Farm Fresh Challenge Blog are CASE'ing . . . MamaMaxa!  She created such a luv-ly card!  I get the vintage feel and the blues and browns definitely SCREAM Christmas.  Here is MamaMaxa's card:

Now, here is my take.  I luv pink so I went with it . . . again, I practiced my coloring with Distress Inks and used Creeper Crew Sasha from the Creepin Kit.  She's sort of a wicked girly girl don't ya think?   I added a doily, some lace, a few flowers, and pearls. 

Here's Sasha up close.

Come join in on the fun . . . upload your CASE card to:  TGF Gallery>Farm Fresh Challenges 2011>Mystery Mondays.  You have up until Sunday, April 10th to win a free single stamp of your choice!  Thanks for visiting!
