PREVIEW time at The Greeting Farm!!

It's already the end of October and that means it's time for 3 days of PREVIEWS at The Greeting Farm, followed by an amazing Blog Hop on Saturday. Over the next 3 days, the awesome TGF Design Team will be showcasing the new rubber that will be available in The Greeting Farm Store on Saturday, November 1st!!

These new releases will knock your socks off...but don't they always! I'm loving all of them and can't wait for you to see what's coming to the store! :)

Today's adorable stamp set is called TOGETHER ANYWHERE and it's fabulous!! The set comes with the boy and girl and several sentiments. I think they are really versatile for many special occasions. 

I just used the girl for my card, but you can head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see everything included in this set. She was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11, E13
Hair: E44, E47, E49

I used some gorgeous dps and stickers from Echo Park's Be Mine 12x12 Paper Pack to create my 5x7 card. I backed the stickers with white cardstock and then added pop-dots for added dimension.

As always, we wouldn’t let today’s preview go by without announcing a chance to WIN the stamp set Together Anywhere! Simply visit the DT’s blogs, leave some love, and then head back to The Greeting Farm Blog to let us know you completed the hop. You have until 11pm CST to enter!!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps~Swings 'n Slides Snowballs

Little Miss Muffet Stamps 
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week so far! Today I'm sharing my latest card for LMMS using Swings 'n Slides Snowballs. Last week my card was all bright and summery and this week it's all about the cold, haha! It's kind of like Texas weather!! We go from blistering HOT to freezing cold in a day....there's no real fall here. The leaves on the trees go from green and full of life to green/brown and on the ground! I miss the long fall season where the leaves stay on the trees and turn all the different colors.
 
Don't forget, for the month of October, LMMS is having a huge sale on a bunch of their stamps!! Head over HERE to snatch up these amazing stamps at a great deal!! I ordered a bunch of the Swings 'n Slides series because they are just so darn cute!! 

My little guy loves the snow and loves to make snowballs! Unfortunately we don't get much snow here either. I remember when Isaiah was little, we took him up Mt. Rainier in WA while visiting my mom. We pulled over and let him play in the snow. He made little snowballs and would throw them towards the camera. It was so adorable! It's why I had to buy Swings 'n Slides Snowballs...because he reminded me of my little boy.
 
 Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11, E13
Hair: E44, E47
Orange: YR02, YR04, YR07, YR09
Blue: B000, B01, B02, B05
Liquid Applique
 
I kept my card pretty simple because I wanted the focus to be on my image. The border punch is a large Martha Stewart snowflake border punch. The white snowflakes below it are felt stickers. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart.
 
 Be sure to come "Like" us on the Little Miss Muffet FB Page to stay up-to-date on all our news. If we get more likes, we'll get some more freebies!
 
  Don't forget, you still have 3 more days to enter our current "ANYTHING GOES" project on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog. I hope to see you playing along with us!! :)
 
Have a great weekend!
