TGF Release Day, Blog Hop & Contest!

{Gwen & her Harajuku girls}


It's RELEASE day at The Greeting Farm and it is time for some rockin' good fun!! All new releases available now, 5/1.

It's the ROCKIN' REBEL 2 contest at Club Anya & Friends!!!


WHAT is ROCKIN' REBEL?
Rockin Rebel is a contest in which YOU get to design a card, layout, or altered item based on your favorite musical artist, icon, or band. Alter away, or stay true to your stamp, either way, we want to see who ends up on your ROCKIN' REBEL project!
WHEN is ROCKIN' REBEL?
RIGHT NOW! Contest begins today and will end on Friday, May 13th at 8pm CST. The winning entry will be announced on SATURDAY May 14th on the CA&F and TGF Blogs and we'll be sure to show a few honorable mentions, too! Last time the competition was FIERCE and the ideas were insane. In like, a GOOD way. AMAZING actually! Put your thinking caps, iPods, or MtV on and we can't WAIT to see what you come up with!

Please upload your creation to TGF Galleria>Contests/Challenges>Rockin Rebel 2.

Prize:
Oh it's a big one....in traditional TGF Fashion.
ONE lucky winner will receive their choice of.... (drumroll, please...after all this IS a ROCKIN' contest!)
SPOTLIGHT....or....ROLL CALL!

If you want to see the cool submissions from last year, view the Rockin Rebel galleria here.
For my card, I did my best to capture the amazing Miss Gwen Stefani and her Japanese arm candy...the Harajuku girls. I thought the kitty skullcap from the NEWLY RELEASED Creeper, "Thursday" would be a perfect costume choice for them!

Alterations:
"Ebony" and "Shooter" plus "Thursday" kitty skullcap.
"Rockabilly" plus "Amelie" ponytails and I tripled her skirt.

Here is the order of our DT Blog Hop today. Don't forget to make the rounds! In addition to this FANTASTIC contest, one lucky winner will walk away with the ENTIRE MAY CA&F RELEASE! (Fleur, Cuddle, and Thursday!)

HOW INSPIRING is Gwen's pirate video below?? I have about a hundred card ideas from that video alone! Hmmm...maybe you'll see Pirate Gwen and her ship of Kawaii Pirates next week! ;o)
