Sending Easter Hugs

Hello!  I woke up this morning thinking about fun ways to get this sweet Easter Anya on a Card. I had no idea that I’d end up attempting mixed media.  It all started when I was searching for design paper and found a piece that I thought would be fun to layer.  The colors lent themselves to a Spring and/or Easter theme.  So away I went.  One thing about mixed media, I’m finding, is that there are no rules.  You can just go with whatever moves you, which is what I did.  I’m so new to this, but I ended up being pleased with the results.  And, I learned some things that will help with my next mixed media attempt.  A crafty girl couldn’t ask for any more then that!
I also want to mention that The Greeting Farm is the Featured Vendor at 7 Kids this month, offering a 20% discount by using the code “TGF”.

Sending Joy for the Holidays

Hello there! Today I decided to nab TGF's Cutesy Anya (available at 7kids) and put her in a "sweet" little Christmas Card. I love how these TGF characters are so diverse! I think this is the third time I've colored her, each for different occasions.  As you can see, I created a very simple card - but this paper seemed to be the perfect background for her.  Once she landed in this little candy shop, it just didn't need much more embellishment.  So that's it for today, thank you for your visit!

Sparkle

It seems that my creativity goes in spurts that focus on specific artists.  My spurt at the moment is The Greeting Farm.  It's a lovely thing, as I do adore TGF images.  The selection I've made this day is "Miss Anya Night Out".  Unfortunately, I couldn't find her on the TGF site.  It doesn't take away, however, from the joy of coloring her up!!  I threw my paper flowers on the table and had fun with them... not something I usually do because I prefer CAS layouts.  In the end it stayed simple enough, and I ended up loving it!  So that's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by... 'til we meet again!!

Wish You Were Here

Good Morning!  It's a beautiful Saturday morning here in Central Washington.  My husband and I are getting ready to go for a hike.  I have a goal to reach, and he is supporting me until that goal is achieved... good guy!  But, before I head out, I want to share a card I created yesterday.  "Day Off Anya" (which I could not find on the TGF website) from The Greeting Farm.  With a little change.  I was practicing hair on "Reds Anya", and was pleased with the results so decided to do a little switcheroo.  Looks like she's also taking a hike, and wishing her moral support was with her.  It's a lovely thing having those people in your life to share with!  Anyway, I had fun mixing up these Greeting Farm images, hope you enjoy as well!  Have yourself a great weekend!

Where your heart wants

This is a card that I completed some time ago, but never posted it onto my blog.  Little Anya from the The Greeting Farm's mini remix "Happy", kinda stole my heart when I first saw her.  So, when I received a darling video clip the other day of my granddaughter sprinting toward her father, with such determination and excitement, I had to send this off to her.  Which meant I better get it on the blog or it would disappear forever!  Hope your feet take you to amazing places today, and thanks for your visit!

Wishing You Joy

Today I'm sharing with you a sweet little Anya ballerina from The Greeting Farm. She's a digital stamp titled "Ballet Anya".  One thing I've noticed, for sure, is whenever I make a card with Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream cardstock, it seems to end up on my "love it!" list. Copics blend so nicely on this paper - and the soft cream enables colors to pop beautifully. What's not to love about that? So, this little dancing darling landed on Vintage Cream - and I think she's happy about it. I hope you are too! ;) I'm going to toss this in as my second entry in the March Farm Fresh Challenge on TFG's Blog. And then... I'm off and running - busy day. But thanks for your visit.  I hope you have a fabulous Monday!

Counting My Blessings

Well, I'm counting my blessings, for sure. Our pipes burst last night, and we had to have our water shut off by the city (at the street... 'cause of our irrigation system), as well as at the house. Ugh. We called a plumber and were told that we would be put on a waiting list.  Super Ugh.  Long story short... I managed to land an amazing plumbing company that got the job done this afternoon... and, we now have water!  Yay! 
So,  I  am barely reaching my goal of posting each day... but here it is!  Sweet Snuddle Anya from The Greeting Farm.  Counting her blessings... a comfy chair, soft kitty, good book, and a beautiful mug of java!!  Hope your day is filled with blessings as well!  'Till next time!  :)
