Summer Time Goodness!

Hey Peeps!!

It's my turn to write up a post on the TGF blog today! It's such an honor for me to be a part of this wonderful community!!

TGF has been the start of my stamp hobby/ obsession/ "job." And so, it give me such great pleasure to be in its Print & Cut Design Team! Especially since I'm a scrapbooker as well!!

Today, I've got projects to showcase the Summer Time Print & Cut & Digis kit! I made a lay-out and a card.



If you didn't know, it is always hot in Arizona! We've got family and friends there so we are always visiting! The kit's elements are perfect for this page, don't ya think?



And here's my card. I printed two digi Ians (came with the kit), and made one smaller than the other to represent my boys. (uggh, please ignore the rough shading on the faces... I think I need new nibs on my Copics!). I see from social media that everyone's at the beach but we haven't been yet so here's an inspiration!! :)



Hope you get to check out SuiLan, Cynthia, and Claudette's creations too!!!

Summer Journal Cards from TGF!

Good morning, everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend (for those of you living in the U.S.)!

Today, I've got a project featuring the Greeting Farm's newest mini release of Journal cards! They are perfect for Project Life!



I've been meaning to scrap these old photos of my hubby and I back when we were still dating. This technique of scrapping took me one hour for both pages -- the pockets make it simple and easy, and with the journal cards, I was done before my youngest woke up from his nap!! (yippee, right?!!)

Head on over to the blog to see more projects from my fellow Print & Cut DT members -- Claudette, Cynthia, and Sui Lan.

The Summer Journal Cards are available for purchase at the TGF store now!

toot-a- loo!!

Easter Party at TGF!

Hello all!!

It's time for another TGF project showcase from the Print & Cut team! It's our last chance to work and post about the Hoppy Easterkit (for now), and our theme is to make an Easter-themed 3D card and a scrapbook lay-out!

I hosted Easter this year for my family so I decided to make an all-out party-on scenic card! I even dove into my stamp stash and grabbed Easter Anya and Lucky Bunnies -- they were all very fun to color! The color scheme isn't your typical pastel-like Spring, but I really wanted a bright creation! They sure are having a great time, especially Easter Bean, who is an exclusive digi stamp from the kit!



My 3D effect comes from this special fold. I under-shot the folding part so the angle isn't quite right, tee hee! But you get the gist, right? :) The fence with the confetti was created by lining up these fun little tags I got (sorry, I don't remember where). They kinda reminded me of lots and lots and lots.... and lots and lots of Easter eggs, don't you think?

My other project is a Project Life lay-out featuring more pics from last year. Here's my son during his preschool's Easter Egg Hunt. The younger tater tot joined in, but he was cranky (it was naptime, if I remember correctly).





I let the pictures do the talking again. And included these cute stickers from a scrapbooking kit I got featuring Peeps. They are adorable!



I'll be seeing you soon! I am on vacay this week so I may be crafting sporadically.

P.S. Make sure you visit the other TGF File Design team members - Claudette, Cynthia, and Sui Lan.

Toot-a-loo!!

More than just an Easter kit!

Good Monday morning to you all!!

Today, I've got a couple of projects to show you using The Greeting Farm's current File Cut kit - Hoppy Easter. Now, I know Easter is just around the corner, but the Design team wanted to show you how versatile this kit could also be!

For our creations this week, we were to make non-Easter related projects. I have a lay-out featuring my fam:




I basically just layered and mixed the journal cards and as a result, a "patterned paper" emerged! Trying to tie in the graphic lay-out of the pics for this one.



For my second showcase, I have a card featuring Easter Bean, which is a digital stamp exclusive to this kit. I also included some more components of the kit... you really could come up with lots of different combinations!



Easter Bean's hat was actually a bunny, but to get away from the Easter vibe, I altered the ears to make it look more bear-ish. The thought behind it was to make her look Kawaii-ish, and so the main sentiment was formed! There are lots of people like me, afterall. I am in my 30s, still loving Sanrio! Hey, you gotta have a fun side, am I right? Plus, I've always been for cutes-y things!!



I did cut out the Easter egg she was holding and was going to draw a ball, but it turned out oval anyway. LOL!!

Hope you all get to view the other girlies' blogs! Claudette, Cynthia, and Sui-Lan have great ideas on the challenge! And don't forget to tell us on the TGF blog about projects you've created using this kit. We'd love to include it on the next post!!

Toot-a-loo!!

Spring and Easter at TGF.

Hello, hello, hello!!

It's time for new projects featuring The Greeting Farm's new and current print and cuts file - Hoppy Easter.

The DT made a Spring-themed creation as well as an Easter Project Life one. The kit definitely works for both! Here's my Spring one... I made a card using Easter Bean, which is exclusive in this digital kit:



Isn't she adorable? She is so much fun to color! And her dress is too cute! Do you all dress up for Easter? I try to find an outfit that is fresh and a l'il flower-y, if not pastel-colored. I do the same for my boys! I hope to do it for my hubby this time around, but he does not like to dress up (boo!). I used to not care for pastels, but I must say that I've been loving these soft colors lately. Tried to incorporate all of my current fave Spring colors here.



And for my PL, here are pics from Easter 2013 decorated with the Daily Life components. I really like how this kit is so versatile and so there are tons of ways to combine these designs!



I have yet to include any journaling, but as you can see, the pics pretty much tell the story. Below are my parents with their grandkids. It's next to impossible to get a great group pic of toddlers and babies, right? :)

Toodles,

Hoppy Easter Kit from TGF!

Good morning, all!

We've got a brand new Daily Life/ Print & Cut kit at The Greeting Farm! It's very adorable as you can see, and oh so perfect for Easter and Spring!

And, whaddya know? There's something good about being a procrastinator! You see, I scrapbooked my phone pics from Easter 2013 into my last year's Project Life. But I also have these pics from my DSLR cam that I never got to scrap. So, I was so very happy to finally work with them and at the same time, showcase this awesome digital kit!





I've left the journaling for later to really show the cards and graphics here. And did you notice? There's a stamp included in this kit! The Hoppy Easter kit contains: 4 -3×4 journal and filler cards, 2 -6×4 filler and journal card, 20 – elements and one EXCLUSIVE digital stamp! She's cute, isn't she?

I'll be showing you a project with her colored, but doesn't she look adorbs just in plain b&w too? :)

And I'm so very happy with two great news!

One, my good Instagram friends: Cynthia and SuiLan will be joining Claudette and I!! Btw, I'm rinnesbliss on there (my craft account) and rinnester (personal). Add me! :)

And two, I am no longer a guest designer... I'm official!! Woo hooo!!!!!

Hope you tune in for more TGF Print and Cut designs!!
