Farm Fresh Friday Domestic Diva

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - "Roll Call" & "Forest Friends"

DO YOU have an idea for a hostess gift with the MOSTEST???
..mostest WHAT? You ask?
Mostest MOJO, we say! That's right! Today it is all about DOMESTIC DIVA-ism on the Farm and we have a SPECIAL, TWO-week long contest for you starting TODAY on the TGF Blog!
The Challenge:
Create a HOSTESS GIFT w/ the MOSTEST :)
The challenge begins TODAY and will go through DECEMBER 30th, 2011 at 8pm CST.
Please see the TGF blog for full details.

The Prize:
A CHEEKY CHERRY PIE stamp ...and the ENTIRE JANUARY RELEASE! This is a HUGE prize, so we hope you will play along!

The TGF Design Teams will be back with MORE examples next week just to re-spark your Mojo during this busy holiday season.

Today, I used my mini chunky wood houses (thanks again, dad!) and created some table decorations. The mini ones can hold place settings and the slightly larger one can hold a menu. I glued clothespins that I decorated with Washi tape to the back. Afterwards, these can be used to hold photos or cards, too!

Miko: G20, YG03, YG11, YG21, Y0000, BG10, B00, RV00, RV000, BV31, E0000, E40, E42, E51

Farm Fresh Friday Sparkly Birthday

Stamp: The Greeting Farm - Miko from "Roll Call"

Welcome to Farm Fresh Friday with The Greeting Farm.
Today's challenge: Make a Birthday card with SPARKLE!!

Please, see the full FFF details over at the TGF blog.

I love wood projects! Lucky me, I have a super crafty dad that can make them!! So, he sent me a big box of perfectly cut pieces of wood...just the right size for ATCs and another box full of wood houses and seahorses, too!! And, there's a box of teeny houses on the way!!!

SO fun!!! (THANKS DAD!) There are so many possibilities with these. And, it's a great way to 'display' your favorite Anya or Ian creations! For my sparkle today, I used glimmer mist, Stickles, and a sparkly Maya Rd. chandelier drop.

Here's a mermaid ATC version...I stamped and then painted Mermaid Anya on Claudine Hellmuth's sticky backed canvas sheets with various types of acrylic paint and then painted over it all with Chandelier Glimmer Glam....

Here's the list of DT members participating today:


The OTHER Cheeky Xmas set is UP FOR GRABS as this week's FFF prize!, so be sure to play along!

For my tags today, I started with kraft tags. For the one above I used 2 Copic Markers. RV000 and V12. Just to give it a little shading. I also used a Sakura white paint pen in extra fine and a Stardust clear gel pen for accents. The bottom tags I left uncolored.

These make very fast tag projects for gifts. The "Sparkly Cheers" is perfect for a champagne or other bubbly treat!! The set comes with the fabulous 3 sentiments I used here and the cute little tree button that is easily punched with the green Marvy 1" circle punch!!
