I Like to Document My Annual Winter Wonderland

Getting there... I like my Beanie Anya. I put her on my cover of 

Smash: Holiday book... My hometown decided to hold annual event at Webster lake called Winter Wonderland. They gave hot cocoa, popcorn, cookie, small craft, bonfire and horse wagon ride. They also have Santa for the kids to meet and have their picture taken for free. I enjoyed that. 

This year is 6th annual. I had a busy day on Friday and was not able to visit Winter Wonderland and then decided to go on the next day. It was snowing in late afternoon and I checked to make sure they are still open. I live near that- about 3 mins drive. I don't care. I must have my annual photo with Santa.

I put in all photos with Santa and other things like bonfire, horse, etc. It was nice way to record my "adventures" at Winter Wonderland. I use Christmas lights stickers from EK Sticko. Flourishes and Christmas Trees are from Jolee's. Only couple of thing left to add but I am trying to figure it out first before add to the front. I need to make hole for the part I have to install... so hope soon.

Hey Girl Mini Album

I made a mini album and was thinking of what to cover the front with... I looked at stamps and saw this girl with pinwheel. Why not? I added her... and then added little paper punch which is red butterfly. I added little gem and glued it to her hair. I add few other things. I like it. It's cute.

If you're curious, this girl is Twirl Anya from The Greeting Farm. Now I am trying to think what to add inside... Mmmm.... Inside the pages have openings like pocket in top and one at side. I can add piece of paper in it or maybe small photo... Wait and see...

Mini Album with Superstar Anya

I made a mini album with Amy Tangerine papers. Then I made some project life cards with those papers too to use for this album. I added some washi to the cards and the front cover of album. I tucked cards in the pocket so that I can add it later to the page. I made cute bead line with my old beads instead of waste them. Why not. You may have noticed couple of old photos of me with my father and my young brother on my birthday. I forgot when that was. Maybe at age 12 or 13. I recalled my dress I wore because my good friend passed away a year later or two.

I am not yet fill it up with photos and stuffs but I will when I have time.

Thank for visit my blog!

A Tea with Ian... and Cyber-Monday Celebration Hop

I saw this Cafe Ian stamp and it reminded me of British stuffs. I thought it's cute. Of course, I do not drink tea nor coffee. I do drink hot chocolate. I decided to stamp him, color him and then added him to my black MOD smash book. Why not.

I would love to visit England again someday.

Making New Mini Album with New Girl

I wanted to make a mini album with paint chips. I finally did it and added a girl (The Greeting Farm stamp) but only I did was to swap head with other TGF stamp. I use Megan's head and Reeta's body. LOL. I should name her Isabella! What a fun. I am happy that I am done with it. Can't wait to fill it up! Oh, by the way, all flowers, petals, butterflies are punched and pinwheel was cut by hand. I added some gems to them. I added ribbons to holes.

Yes, I Colored Them with Color Pencils !

I love those stamps... I stamped more and then colored them. I enjoyed that. I haven't use watercolor or copic or marker... I used color pencils from Crayola, RoseArt and Cra-Z-Art. I want more, lol. I am not going to stop doing this. I will try different color combo to see which is best and which is so-so. After colored them, I put them in baseball card pocket page. Sorry if I repeated this, but I couldn't help it. I still have few more left to color... They look pretty, are they?

The Greeting Farm stamps

I enjoyed coloring those stamped images. If you are curious... yep, those stamps are from The Greeting Farm.

 I don't know why but I like how they looked.

However I heard there is change at TGF. Prices and other thing. Honestly, I can understand about price but will they change the look? I don't know.

Here's their information:

---Price---effect Jan 1, 2014---

* 3x4 Singles: $9
* Special Edition 3x4 Singles: $12
* 4x6 Sets (incl - Big Anyas, OA, Sitting Series): $16
* Miss Anya Series (incl - All Miss Anya related sets): $18
* 6x9 Sets: $25
* 8.5x11 Kits: $30 - $48

--- Other---

I've been getting many inquiries about the Miss Anya sets... and if we are doing any more new ones. We are no longer doing any more 'new' Miss Anya sets..... BUUUUT before everyone starts panicking lol, the reason is because we've decided to do a '2nd generation' Miss Anya collection where her looks and style is more in line with the Big Anyas. We're still going to try to squeeze in 3 in a set as per the originals.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know by emailing us at thegreetingfarm@gmail.com

And as always Thank You all so much for your support and understanding.

xoxo,
Marie & TGF

More Pages of Felix Baumgartner

His 3rd and final space jump. It was for July "S" challenge. "S" would be Space Jump. I made pocket for couple of photos in it. I added stamped TGF's Astronaut Ian to it. I actually have photo signed by Felix but it was big so I made a copy in small size for smash. I added little info on page with number (feet in the air) it cant be seen unless remove two photos out of pocket to see it. I love that photo of Felix on screen while he was talking to Joe with concerns (you can see the back of his head) because it tells thousand words to me.

Mermaid Anya

I saw this cute used stamp up for sale. I bought it. I love mermaid and this unmounted rubber stamp I have in my hand is Mermaid Anya from The Greeting Farm. Yes, this is my first GF stamp. I finally got a chance to stamp her and color her. I saved her until other idea came. I put it on piece of paper to fancy her up. I added pinwheel and yarns and also some half domed pearls.

Pinwheel is actual from Fiskar's paper punch called Jenni Bowlin: Pinwheel and Talk Bubble is also from Fiskar's paper punch.
