THANKS for the MEMORIES!

Good Monday Morning peeps!  Today is our Farm Fresh MM Challenge and guess what?  It's my turn to pick a card from the Gallery to CASE!  I found this card by Tracey and thought it was fitting for my last post on the FFC Blog.  Here's the card that Tracey created . . .

Well said Tracey!  Perfect in every way since I'm from Hawai`i.  I have one more week after this week then my term will come to an end.  Can't believe Marie and Jess had enough confidence in me to stick it out for 6 months!  I luv'd every minute of this experience and I've made some wonderful friendships along the way.  Plus, I get to work with a bunch of gifted, talented gals too!  You have all inspired me!

Here is my CASE'ing . . . I've used HG Sing.  Yep, she's strumming that ukulele, singing her heart out with a farewell song . . . Aloha `oe.  

Aloha `oe, aloha `oe (Farewell to you, farewell to you)

E ke onaona noho i ka lipo (The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers)
One fond embrace,
A ho`i a`e au ('Ere I depart)
Until we meet again.

  

Here's a close-up of Sing.  I think that sentiment was perfect for this card.  Many memories made . . . many more to experience!  :)

Well, that's it for me today.  I'll be back soon to share some more!  :)

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 > TWilson1424.

Don't forget! You now have two ways to play! You can either CASE the card 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.

Open Please!

Well, it's time for our weekly MM challenge over at the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog. I'm hosting this week, so I went in search of a card to CASE.  As I was scrolling through the gallery, I came across a card created by Rimna. I luv the colors she chose and the vintage, elegant vibe her card conveys.

My card is not so vintagy, but I luv how it came out.  I used the new AO - Surprise set.  I just luv how Oliver is presenting his gift.  Or it could be taken the other way, Oliver accepting a gift.  :)  I masked Oliver and stamped SLOTCHY using Distress Ink Pumice Stone and used another stamp for accent in Scattered Straw.  The sentiment, also in the the AO - Surprise set, is stamped in Pumice Stone.  I don't sew on my cards, but hand stitched right on the washi tape. 

Here's a close-up.  I colored the gift with copics so that it would stand out.

Thanks for stoppin' by today! 

I'm Blushing and Thinking of You . . .

Is it Monday already?  The week went by so fast.  Where does the time go?  Well, I'm back with another Blushing beauty.  It was my turn to choose a creation from the gallery to CASE for the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog's MM Challenge.  I saw a card made by Beansscrapsandsheep.  This is her card.

Here is my take on the CASE'd card.  What I luv'd about Beansscrapsandsheep's card was the monochromatic and vintagy look.  I decided to change it up a bit and went with orange.  This was a fun card to create because of all the added embellishments . . . the swirl rhinestones, the buttons, the twine, the butterfly, and the sweet sentiment that comes with Blush Bonnie!  :)  I actually stamped the sentiment inside a postage stamp and cut with the coordinating die from PTI.

I hope you likey!  I luv'd how it turned out!  The MM 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 > Beansscrapsandsheep.
