The Greeting Farm's Hopping into the Holidays Blog Hop

Welcome to The Greeting Farms Hopping into the Holidays Blog Hop!!

I had so much fun last year with the Club Anya All Customer blog hop that I had to participate in the hop again this year!  There were so many great projects last year that I can't wait to see what everyone does this time around :)

For the hop, there are three categories in which our creations can be entered into and a winner will be selected amongst those.  They are:

"Let it Snow"  (use snow in creative ways on your card)

"Santa, Baby" (cute Santa-inspired cards)

"Holiday Treats" (incorporate some kind of treat/goodie theme into your cards!

For my card today I used Anya from the Xmas Sweeties set and the christmas papers that is also from The Greeting Farm.  My card is suitable for the "Santa Baby" category :)

 

Hope you like it. Now it's time to go back to the TGF blog and see who's next.

For my project today I used Kaylee which was a freebie at one time :)  I just love her and had to use her for the hop.  I colored her in with copics and used some papers that I got at Joann's in one of those paper stacks (which I have been dying to use!!)

Your next stop in the hop is Robin's blog. Thanks for hoppin by!

Critter Sketch Challenge #41 - Made for You

Happy Monday

This month at Critter Sketch Challenge our sponsor is the wonder site of Stamp and Create. As a crafter, they have everything you could possibly want or need.


Stamp and Create also has a challenge blog and our challenge  Critter Sketch #41  is  going to coordinate with the challenge on the Stamp and Create blog. They want to see some Food!!

For today's card I used Chef Ian from The Greeting Farm.

Lollipop Crafts - Christmas

Wow, can you believe that November is almost over?  Before we know it Christmas will be here :)
For today's challenge over at Lollipop Crafts is to create something Christmas.  I've pretty  much decided I didn't want to make a card and I already had the image colored in so I made this cute little notebook.

The image is from Pink Cat Studio, paper is from Basic Grey and the ribbon is from my stash.  You can't see it but the fur is coated with liquid applique and glitter, wasn't the effect I was going for but it looks really cute in person :)

I had to get the image on something before Abby stoled it again :)  I thought my poor little girl was going to get de-headed the other day :)

Victorine Originals - Santa Card

This week starts our second challenge over at Victorine Originals.  For this week's challenge we are looking for anything Christmas.  You don't have to use a Victorine Originals stamp but if you do, you are eligible for 30% off your next order.

For today's card I used my Santa Stamp and keep the card very simple so not to take away from the image.

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz - Tag It Challenge

I'm trying to use up some of my pre-colored images that I've had stashed away.  This one is from Kenny K's Krafty Girlz, isn't she cute?!?!  I decided to use this one for this week's challenge on the KKKG Challenge blog which is "Tag It', you can either make a tag or have a tag somewhere on your project.

This tag was entered in the following challenges:
Kenny K's Krafty Girlz - Tag it

Karber Christmas - Use a Digi

Your Next Stamp - Challenge #29

Hubby went to play Texas Hold'em tonight so after making a couple DT cards I figured I should make at least one card for fun :)  I decided to play along with the challenge over at Your Next Stamp since it's been awhile since I participated in one of their's.

This week's challenge is:  Y - Yellow, N - Nesties, and S - Stickles

here is my card:

Show Me #2

This is my first time joining in the fun at Sassy Chery's Show Me, where you take a picture of your work area and show it off to everyone...your room, what you're working on excetra (sort of like WOYWW).  So last night I finished all of my cards I was working on for the fundraiser (see previous post) and actually was able to pick up my mess that was there on Wednesday (so disgusted with myself lol) and this is what's left.......

For those of you who didn't see Wednesday's post, this is what my desk looked like yesterday morning......

and this is what it currently looks like........

What a huge improvement!! :)

I have a couple images I'm working on (Sweet Pea Christmas Fairy and TGF Chief Ian), off the side is one of the Sugar CC Design images that will make it onto a card very soon and well more stamps that will be used in the very near future (TGF, Victorine Originals).

Sparkle Creations - Christmas Card

A few weeks ago I was asked to create 5 cards to donate to a fundraiser at a local school.  It's an auction style fundraiser to benefit the 6th grade.  Of course I said yes :)  Well I finally finished the cards last night and boy and I am glad, they took forever!

The picture was taken by Abby (yup my 3 year old daughter)--I think she did pretty good  :)

The card is similar to the one I made in the beginning of the month but a different color scheme.

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz DT Call

I just love Kenny K's Images and they are just so fun and sassy :)  The current DT term is ending and they are holding another call so I thought I'd try out again :)  Here are three of my favorite creations.

My Favorite Things/Pure Innocence -

I don't know about you but I really like these Pure Innocence stamps from My Favorite Things.  They are just too cute and best of all they come with their own sentiments!

I just added some ribbon & rhinestones to the front of the card and then placed the sentiment on the inside.

Victorine Originals - Baby Congratulations

I'm finally getting around to posting this card that I made Saturday.  I've been wanting to use this sweet little stamp called sleeping baby from Victorine Originals for a little while now so I decided to ink it up.

I embossed both the juniper and white cardstock before placing the ribbon.  Abby picked out the nestabilities to have around the image and did the turning of the handle of my cuttlebug :)  (We were having some stamping time together).   I stamped Congratulations on the inside cause I didn't want to clutter of the front of it.

Supplies:
Image/Sentiment-Victorine Origianls
Cardstock - Close to My Heart
Ribbon - Stash
Ribbon slide - stash
Nestabilities
Cuttlebug

Lollipop Crafts - GDT Challenge Card

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had fun trick or treating last night.  We had a blast.  Abby was so into it this year and after the first couple of houses, she was going at it like a pro :)

Anyway, for this week's challenge we are to create a card with any form of embossing on it.  This challenge is also sponsored by Meljen Design's, so I pulled out one of my stamps that I had from them and created this card:
