farm fresh friday for the boys

okay this may be the last post before family time. i am going to try to do a stamping bella challenge, but we'll see.

so for this challenge i used  oliver from just for you. & i used some stamps from inky antics & memory box & hero arts.

i colored oliver, the toad, toadstool, & bees with copics. i stamped a hero arts stamp into gesso on a piece of cardboard & colored it with twinkling h2o's. then i added some silver paint to the cardboard. underneath the cardboard i painted some paper with twinkling h2o's & stamped it with various stamps & sewed to the card. on the card itself i used some chalk ink to color it up. i hand wrote the sentiment & added washi tape for some accent. for the bees i attached them to some wire with glue dots. finally i added stickles to give a little shine.

thanks for stopping by. hope that you are staying healthy. & if i don't post until after easter, have a good holiday or wonderful spring break or a good couple of weeks.

farm fresh friday what's new

hey there! this challenge was about using things new to you. so what is new with me? the stamp, twirl anya, is new to me. i haven't used her yet. i also haven't made a small pinwheel for a card either. also i used my new martha stewart punch.

i also used my copics, mme paper, i.o. cover stamps, hero arts stamps, twinkling h2o's & a few nesties. oh i also used mother's day 2010 cricut cart to make the pinwheel out of aluminum & colored it with my copics & stickles. i used embossing powder on the flower hero arts stamp & then colored it in with my twinkling h2o's.
several of us are under the weather. so i am making this quick. but i do appreciate you stopping by.

farm fresh friday spring break challeng

i never did the spring break trips with friends. i would have but i had strict parents & defying them on this one would have been ugly. so i spent my spring breaks hanging around the house or on family trips. good times but not the crazy times that are associated with spring break.

i used sunshine kit & colored her with my copics & partially stamped the sentiment.  the original was sand sun & tons of fun. then i made a tag & embossed it with a tim holtz folder & inked it up with my distress inks. then i added green tissue & tried to make it look like a grass skirt. then i took my wave ek punch & cut up some strips. then cut out the palm trees in white card stock with the create a critter cart.  then i used my copics to color them. i added a few stickles here & there.

this is what i would like to do for spring break..get away from the coldness.  but maybe mother nature will be kind & bring the warm weather to new england.

thanks for stopping by & checking out my card.

farm fresh fridays monochromatic challenge

i think that i like monochromatic cards. for this one i picked blue.

for this card, i used mme papers cut out with my nestabilities. below those papers i stamped a memory box stamp in distress inks. i then added another memory box stamp on top of all the papers in distress inks. on the top mme paper i stamped it with hero arts butterflies. then i added a ribbon that i colored with my copics. i used  camille.  i colored her with my copics & embellished her with some liquid pearls. the butterflies in the corner are punched out with a mini punch, colored with my copics & embellished with distress stickles.

texturized farm fresh friday

hi there everyone! hope you're enjoying your day. i have been running around with the kids since it is winter break. did anyone get any good deals for presidents' day sales?

for fff we had to have 2-3 different textures. i used flower soft, embossing, washi tape, buttons, added a layered flower. & popped up oliver. so i think i meet the texture requirement. lol

a side angle may help see the different textures.

so i used a tim holtz embossing folder, flower soft bike stamp & added summer & lavender flower soft. i also used my copics & distress inks on the bike image. but i think my flash washed out the picture. i colored oliver with my copics & added a flower from the spring seasonal cricut collection. then i added some brown washi tape & colored a button with my copics & used some stickles. the final layer was stamped with a mesh stamp in distress ink.

farm fresh friday color combo 2-11

i didn't think that i was going to do much of challenges this week, but my 6 year old is feeling a little blue. so i had to do something to bring a smile to her face & i figured that this would work with this challenge. it was to use pink, turquoise, & whatever color of my choosing. i chose gold.

i used gold glitter ritz & then used white glitter ritz & colored it pink & aqua/turquoise. i also cut the star shape from the plantin school cart. the wavy shape was cut with my ek success punch. & the girl was colored with my copics. finally the cloud background is a hero arts stamp. WOW! i didn't use stickles in this one. lol!

i hope that this brightens her day at school. she is such a super kid...so effervescent & always looking out for the best for others. she does follow the beat to a different drummer than the other kids & i think that is bringing her down.  hopefully she learn to deal with this sooner than later. i was the same way.

thanks for stopping by.  until next time!!

farm fresh friday: hats off

well, i think that i made this week's deadline : ) i decided to give this little girl a sleeping cap to help her drift off the dreamland as she listens to her lullaby & begins to count sheep.

 i got the hat from winter woodland cricut cart. i used liquid pearls to color it. on the cuff of the hat i added glitter ritz & colored it with my copics.  i colored the little cutie using copics, liquid pearls,  & stickles.  the sheep is from paper dolls dress up. i used flocking & copics to jazz it up. the background is done with alcohol inks. i added a few stars stickled up & put glossy accents on them. the accent paper is from a stack that i got at BJ's wholesale club.

hope that you're enjoying your day! thanks for stopping by.
