It's a Royal Deconstructed Sketch!

OK so it's time for Week 2 of our TGF Royalty Contest and this week we have a gorgeous INSPIRATION challenge.   Our friend and TGF Customer Jammie Clark has created a "Sweet and Toxic" Royal Wedding inspired cake that will serve as our inspiration piece for this week's challenge!   Use ANY TGF stamp and get INSPIRED by the following photo:

Want to play along?  We'd love to have you!  Just upload a card or project (layouts are great, too!) using this creative confection as your inspiration and upload to TGF Galleria>Contests/Challenges>TGF Royalty> WEEK 2-Inspiration and you have through Tuesday June 14th at 8pm CST to get those creations uploaded!

Now I have used this weeks Decontructed Sketch for my Card. Here is the Sketch:

Don't you just love it! I love round cards, they alwasy look just that little bit fancy...hehe! So here is my Wedding Themed card with the Gorgeous new Princess 3, I think she is just perfect for a Wedding Card!

Well it has been a crazy week here, we have a couple of sickies and it is not much fun, up most of the nights and then not very happy during the day. My youngest vomitted everywhere in the car today when I was on my way to an appointment. Needless to say I was late as I had to pull over and fix him up, my poor little man!

Hope everyone else is having a good week!

August is Here.....

Well Lil Pinkette August that is...hehe!

I have been working on this box for a little while and have finally finished it. It was all done with the exception of the image colored in, so when I saw that this weeks challenge over at Tickled Pink was 'Anything Goes', I decided that now was the time to finish it.

 My daughter got an Ipod Touch for her birthday and I decided to make this box for her to keep it in. She usually just leaves things around her room where her little brother can grab them and wreck them. Like last year when she got an Ipod Nano and 2 weeks after getting it her little brother had dunked it into the toliet like it ws a biscuit he was dunking in his coffee. Needless to say he stuffed it and we had to buy her a new one.....Ggrrhhhh!

SO I decided that this new Ipod Touch needed a better home.......

So she has been keeping her Ipod Touch in it SO far, well it has only been a day...hehe! 

We have had a pretty busy weekend with Karate and Footy here. On Friday night we had the Karate Victoria Dinner where they announced the Victorian State Team and I am SOOOOO excited to tell you that my 10yr old Daughter Miss Ella was selected....YAY! So it is on to the Nationals competition for her in August, which lucky for her and her Dad, is in Caloundra, QLD. We are so proud of Ella, she has been working really hard to get selected and all her hard work has paid off!

Ok so not to forget my Son Brody who kicked a Goal at footy yesterday, we were very excited. Way to go Brody! Plus they won as well, which always makes the day better...hehe!

Anyway I am off to take kids to the Dr's as I have 2 kids that are pretty sick and have been all weekend. I just hope they don't pass it on to anyone else, don't like my chances...hehe!

Time to get Royal with TGF!

Hello!  It is going to be a ROYAL month ahead at The Greeting Farm and today's first preview is a pretty good indication of just HOW royal...Introducing Princess 2!   With TGF's 3rd birthday being only a few months away, we were getting nostalgic and remembered just how popular "Princess Anya" was when she first took her throne as one of the first beloved Anyas.   She has evolved so much since then, but really, who DOESN'T love royalty?  Because of her timeless beauty AND the fact that we love to play dress-up here on the Farm, we are expanding the Princess collection and here she is, Princess 2:

Princess 2 will begin her reign along with other FABULOUS releases on June 1st...and be sure to stay tuned for a HUG contest announcement on the 1st as well!  I'll be back tomorrow for more fun, but in the mean time, be sure to stop by the TGF blog for more information and find out how YOU can win Princess 2!

Last but not least, we are SO excited to be welcoming our June Guest Designer to TGF,Sharette Smith!  Sharette has been a long time challenge participant and fan of TGF and we are thrilled to have her along this month!  See you back here tomorrow!

Deconstructed Sketch 3

Can you believe that it's Thursday again! Well it is and we have a new sketch for you over at Deconstructed Sketches. I am just having so much fun with these Sketches, hope you guys are as well!

When I was trying to decide which stamp to use for this card, I started thinking that I end up with soooo many Girly type cards and that I don't really have any boy ones in my stash, so I decided that I was going to make a boys card. It's not for anyone in particular, just building up my stash...hehe! So of course I was ALWAYS going to use a TGF image, are there any other stamps out there!

Copic Colors Used:

Hair - E79, E37, E35, E31, YG17, YG13, YG11

Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20

Top - C3, C1, C00

Pants - BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78

Shoes - YG17, YG13, C1, C00

I have been having a lot of fun with these Gorgeous Spotty buttons lately, they are from Purple Pumpkin and if you haven't seen their Fantastic embellishments, especially buttons, then you should head over and have a look, you will not be dissappointed!
