Cyber Monday Blog Hop at TGF

Hi, and welcome to The Greeting Farm's Cyber Monday Customer Blog Hop!!! (so sorry for the lighting).



I've decided to do something a bit different and do a scrapbook page. Not only that, but a Project Lay-out page! :)

Here's an Alice in Wonderland themed one from Halloween back in 2010 when my co-workers and I dressed up for our patients!



My son, MK, was one then and I dressed him up as the caterpillar!!! I can't believe that costume existed!



Luckily, I wasn't working that day, so I was able to go all out as the Queen of Hearts!! We also had Alice, the Cheshire cat, the Mad Hatter, and even a card from the deck of cards! I had fun saying, "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!" a thousand times during the day! LOL!



TGF's AIW themed beans stamps were perfect!!! I'm not sure if they're still available for sale, but they were so cool to color. I just love them!!



And these miniature bottles and mushroom embellishments from Paper Tales were just the right embellies! Still trying to find out how to adhere them, he he.

Have fun hopping and shopping! Don't forget that TGF is having a sale! See this post for more details and to go back to the blog hop list!

Rinne in Wonderland.

My birthday was back in April, but I'm just getting to post these. It's a shame I'm so late...as I love these pics and this restaurant. But better late than never, right? :)

For my bday, I wanted something special and super girly. So I asked my friends to bring their favorite head accessories and meet me at Crown and Crumpet, a tea place in San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square. It is full of hand sewn knick knacks, dainty tea cups, and adorable seating. In other words, a perfect venue for my love of a tea party consisting of my besties and lots of feminine photo opps.






I purchased my headband at BHLDN, the wedding website from Anthropologie. It is over-the-top, very femme, and kind of expensive. But, hey, it was my 35th birthday, and I didn't buy a new outfit. Instead, I got a new headpiece. It certainly got people talking and you either liked it or you hated it. I, for one, loved it. It was made for a wedding, for a bride. I love the sweet color mixed in with the black, and the feathers were very special.

I also loved my friend, J's top hat above. I voted him 'best accessory' (besides my own, of course!). Aren't my friends cuties?


















I adore these two corners. I want them in my house. I think I'd like to get little monochromatic frames too, and put my cards in them. Whaddya think? :)







Thanks for visiting! Cheers!

Treasures

When I saw the new Taylored Expressions Treasure Life stamps, I screamed! Mind you, I am supposed to be on a stamping budget, but I knew that I just had to HAVE those cute jars!

I am a big collector of many things so I thought this stamp set was perfect for me. Especially since we have a new home. And I knew that I wanted to make Sunghee's thank you card using these stamps.

Did you know what this girl sent me for my birthday? (Ok, she claimed she didn't know it was my special day but the fact that she sent me these thoughtful goodies around that time is sweet enough!). Lemme show you....







Aren't those (& she) AMAZING?!!! She originally made them for her blog and mommy group's newsletter. I really loved them and asked if I could buy some off of her. The sweet friend that she is, she sent me a package of them with these and this!!!!

Sunghee, you are wonderful! I am so lucky to have you as my friend! Anyway, I'm sorry that my thank you card is less than par. I see all my mistakes already.

Wanted to keep the card pretty simple to showcase the stamps. I also got the TE shelf stamp. Colored them with Copics and hand-wrote the sentiment.

Now I need to host another tea party for my new accessories!!

XO,

Give Thanks

Ok, here's the last card I made with my left-over tags.

Used the October TE Key Ingredients kit's PP. Added the ribbon and flower from the actual favor.

One cannot have enough thank you cards, am i right? :)

Sorry, for my super quick cards and posts. I'm hoping that November will be a better month for me. I am dying to make more cards and color with my Copics.

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of MK's possible costume: BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Of course, he hates it!



I am going to be the Red Queen of Hearts....isn't this a great accompaniment? :)
I'm trying to get my hubby to be the Mad Hatter!

Alice in Wonderland Baby Shower!

For CF's baby shower, I was in charge of favor tags (see previous post) and decorations.

Ever since the movie "Alice in Wonderland" came out, I have been obsessed with anything AIW-themed. Stamps, make-up, decorations.

I even thought about doing an AIW party for Mattie's first bday but that just didn't seem appropriate for a boy.

So I thought, "Wouldn't it be perfect for my dear preggie friend who is very girly and loves all cute things?"

With whimsical tea pots, plates and cups, borrowed candlesticks, dainty flowers, AIW / girly cards, and yummy desserts made by one of the other hostesses, this tea party was created!

I also loved how the guests brought crackers, fruit, quishes .... tea-themed dishes and they didn't even know what the decor was about!

Lastly, I brought some headbands and fun hats as props for pictures!

Hope you enjoy! I couldn't choose just a few pics so bear with me! :)
