The Greeting Farm Release Day Blog Hop!


Today is release day at The Greeting Farm and we are SO excited to be wrapping up an exciting preview week with ALL FIVE releases available TODAY in the TGF Store!

I have the honor of being part of the PREMIERE Guest DT this month!   It's such a treat to have been invited to be part of this crazy talented group of women to help kick off the first release for the Greeting Farm in 2013!  

First up is my card featuring Lovey Bean!

If you missed my sneak peek cards that I made earlier this week, click HERE to see them!  I colored this little cutie with copics and fussy cut her out.  I used a Darice striped embossing folder on the Bazzill Card Shoppe cotton candy CS card base.  I tore some Bazzill Card Shoppe wax lips CS and some PP from the Echo Park Yours Truly 6x6 paper pad. I stamped the sentiment in Momento tuxedo black ink andwent over the "Love so True" part with a black glaze pen.  I cut it out using the SU large oval punch.  Finally, I added some opal glitter glue to her wings.  

skin - E11, E21, E00, E000
cheeks - R20, R30
hair - E33,YR23, YR21, YR20
clothing and flowers - R85, R83, R81, R24, R05

Next up is is my card featuring Awareness Anya!


I love that you can color her up to show your support for any cause.  This is a card for breast cancer awareness, of course.  If you missed my sneaks earlier this week, click HERE to see how I colored Anya up for colon cancer awareness and Alzheimer's Disease awareness.  Once again, I fussy cut my image after coloring her with copics.  I paired paired some Bazzill Card Shoppe cotton candy and licorice twist CS with some PP from the Carta Bella Paris Girl 6x6 paper pad.  I added PTI black button and some cotton candy Divine Twine.  I printed the sentiment from my computer.

skin- E21, E00, E000
cheeks - R30, R30
hair - E37, E35, E53,E51
dress - RV02, RV00, RV000

The Greeting Farm wants to wish all of you a happy, healthy, and FUN 2013 and what better way to kick off the FUN part than with some crafty time?  We hope you are just as excited about these five new releases as we are and can't wait to see what YOU create when you get them!

We are just about to kick off our PREMIERE Guest DT Blog Hop, but first, I'm sure you are all wanting to know what the GRAND PRIZE is, right?  Well, if you guessed the ENTIRE JANUARY RELEASE, you guessed right!  One lucky hopper will walk away with all of these sent right to their doorstep, so as exciting as that is, let's get to hopping!
