A Sprout with Sass

Hello Again! Happy Saturday! Is your head still spinning from shopping yesterday? You're probably sleeping in...I'll wait for you, don't worry.
Okay, feeling better? Got your coffee? Ready for another sneak?
Today the Team is showcasing Sassy Suzi Sprout! Does she looks familiar to you? You may recall our Design a Sprout contest a few months back...Suzi was the big winner, designed by Kim Yu! And today's your lucky day because Kim is giving away this adorable new Sprout on her blog TODAY!! So pop over there and leave a comment! I also wanted to give a special shout out to the Crazy 4 Challenges team and their inspirational sketch last week. And specifically to Robin Willis who's gorgeous take on the sketch inspired me in my Suzi card. Thanks, Ladies!

Black Friday Par-tay!

Hello All and welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for the December release at The Greeting Farm!!
First, I want to give a big shout out and welcome to our Dec Guest Designer, Gabby!! Welcome, Girl! We're so excited to have you and can't wait to see your awesome creativity bring Marina's designs to card-life!
Next, let me introduce you to a brand new line of stamps for TGF by artist Jessica Hymas called Chibis! There are 10 of these cuties and they will be available in digi form on Dec 1st. Be sure to stop by each of the DT's blogs so you can see all 10!!
My card for you today is made using Shibuya Chibi. I'm thinking that she's named after Shibuya Tokyo, but it makes me want to shout it in excitement Shi- BooYah!! Aren't these stamps fun?! I borrowed this wonderful layout from my dear friend, Jeanette. Thanks, J for inspiring me!
Thirdly, today's FARM FRESH FRIDAY!! Makes my favorite day of the week even better! This week's challenge is to make a card inspired by your fave sweet treat. Many of these Chibis are sweet-inspired and so Shibuya is rocking her sweets in the patterned paper. :)
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday and are finding tons of great Black Friday deals today! Wahoo! Be sure to come back tomorrow for more sneaks!

Goodship Lollipop

I grew up watching Shirley Temple movies (I loved musicals!) so I can't help but think of her singing, "On the good ship lollipop, it's a sweet trip to a candy shop..." when I see this adorable Lolli Anya! This is another fun stamp that The Greeting Farm released this month and the CADT did an AMAZING job showcasing her and filling our heads with song (so yes, of course I had to add another)!
I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday and I'll see you back here tomorrow.

The Little Things

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!
Okay, so...who saw New Moon over the weekend? I did! My brother, SIL and I all went and it was PACKED; hard to find 3 seats together. Actually, I had to politely ask someone to move over and we were 4 rows from the screen...alas, it only made Edward that much bigger to my eyes. Haha.
Well, it's a short holiday week, gotta love that! We'll be heading over the mountains to visit family for Thanksgiving. It should be fun! I hope it doesn't snow though! :) While I do love the snow, it has prevented us or made great efforts to prevent us from having pleasant journeys to visit our family in the past.

For today's card I used C.C. Designs Sugarplums Autumn Emma and I know she's a fall stamp but it just may be possible that she's sitting on that bench waiting for a few snowflakes to fall (she doesn't have to drive over the pass this weekend, she's a kid). I paired this stamp with some awesome Fancy Pants paper I was gifted and I just loved the printed sentiment so much, I just had to figure out a way to use it all!
Thanks for stopping by today and I WILL have blog candy this week to celebrate my 115 followers, but I'm still waiting for one more thing to arrive, so please keep checking back! :)
Hugs, kadie

No Patterned Paper??!!?!

Are you for reals?? LOL! This week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge is to make a card without the help of our dear friend, Patterned Paper. I can already see the tomatoes being thrown my way because this week's idea was mine. :) I just thought I'd get us all back to a bit of our grassroot days when we thought we had to buy all the SU background stamps to make bg's...which I did end up using for one of my two cards today! Haha. Well, I hope you have fun with this challenge and I can't wait to see what you come up with. Be sure and stop back to my blog next week because I'm going to be posting some blog candy to celebrate surpassing 100 followers. Wahooo! Thanks, Friends!!

Make a Wish

Once upon a time I wished that I would find a fun hobby...then I discovered stamping and found sooooo much more! I've found something I love and can pour my creative engery into, I've found AWESOME friends and I've found the joy of working on a fantastic design team for a super sweet company (TGF!).
Today is part two of the guest designer search/contest at The Greeting Farm. If it's your wish upon a star to design for TGF and you've already entered part 1 of the contest, then please join us for round two of Where the Wild Things Are! For this second phase we're continuing to use Marina's awesome animal stamps and this time also utilizing a FAB sketch created for us by the talented, Cindy Haffner! (see deets on blog)
Good luck and have fun!! Oh and Happy Friday the 13th!!!! boogity boogity

Tis the Season

Now that Halloween is over I can officially be excited about Christmas. I know that we still have Thanksgiving to look forward to, but the Christmas cups have already come out at Starbucks, so that means the joy of the season and happy people with warm drinks are upon us!

It was my turn to send out card kits this month to my partners in crime, Mary and Sandra, and I decided to send a nonChristmasy stamp with Christmasy patterned paper to see what each of us would come up with.
My little missy is delivering cream cheese gingerbread and nonfat eggnog lattes to her granny :) LOL (SB should pay me). I decided to make this card a little interactive too. I made the image into a bookmark and then added acetate paper to create a translucent pocket. I always wish I had more fun ideas for using acetate paper because I love how things turnout with it!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll go check out Mary and Sandra's creations too! AND if you like Hidden window, tag or other fun project ideas, please check out the ABC challenge site HERE. Thanks, Joni! :)
See you tomorrow for Farm Fresh Friday!
