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.

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!

Oh, Alice Ch. 41: Off with their heads....

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - "Flutter Anya" & "Fleur Anya" combined




CHAPTER 41: Off With Their Heads!

`Let's go on with the game,' the Queen said to Alice; and Alice was too much frightened to say a word, but slowly followed her back to the croquet-ground.The other guests had taken advantage of the Queen's absence, and were resting in the shade: however, the moment they saw her, they hurried back to the game, the Queen merely remarking that a moment's delay would cost them their lives.All the time they were playing the Queen never left off quarrelling with the other players, and shouting `Off with his head!' or `Off with her head!' Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers, who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that by the end of half an hour or so there were no arches left, and all the players, except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were in custody and under sentence of execution.

Welcome back to the land of wonder and where the saying, 'Off with her head' is a regular statement! Well here in wonderland this week, that is exactly what we want you to do. This week we want you to take your stamps and yep you guessed it,'Off with their heads'. So we are asking you to alter your stamps and mix it up a little by giving them a new head or body.

Up for grabs this week is a Scor Buddy from the lovely people at http://www.scrappingreatdeals.com/. Please see challenge details over at the OAC blog.

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....

Farm Fresh Friday Enveloped




Stamps: The Greeting Farm - "Flutter Anya" & "Princess Anya" & "Mermaid Anya"
Book: Kraft envelopes folded in half, secured with Scor-Pal tape. My favorite envelopes for these mini books are the ones with the straight edge closure flaps (not the triangular ones).

Today's Farm Fresh Friday challenge:

Kim Nath had a great idea to incorporate envelopes into the challenge. You can create a card using a pocket or envelope template, decorate your envelope, anything goes as long as there is some sort of envelope.

To participate in this week's challenge, please see the rules over at the TGF blog.

Oh, Alice Chapter 34: Knock, Knock...

Stamp: The Greeting Farm - "Sweet & Toxic":


CHAPTER 34: Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Wonderland's Door

"Alice laughed so much at this, that she had to run back into the wood for fear of their hearing her; and when she next peeped out the Fish-Footman was gone, and the other was sitting on the ground near the door, staring stupidly up into the sky.

Alice went timidly up to the door, and knocked.

`There's no sort of use in knocking,' said the Footman, `and that for two reasons. First, because I'm on the same side of the door as you are; secondly, because they're making such a noise inside, no one could possibly hear you.' And certainly there was a most extraordinary noise going on within--a constant howling and sneezing, and every now and then a great crash, as if a dish or kettle had been broken to pieces.

`Please, then,' said Alice, `how am I to get in?'
~Chapter 6, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

At Oh, Alice this week, your challenge is to create a card or project using a Door, Gate, or Keyhole. Now, you can also get creative and do a gatefold technique, etc. As long as we can see it's a "Gatefold" or that there is a door, gate, or keyhole somewhere on your project! How FUN is this?

Check out what the players in our twisted tea party have created to inspire you this week:
