I hope you like!!! =) Join us back tomorrow for another splendid Farm Fresh Friday challenge! Ok like this week just zoomed by. I can't believe it. I can't believe it's not butter.

Today's question is: Anyone starting on xmas cards yet?

Nope not yet.

Guest - Angela Knopf

Hi friends! Ok so the answer to yesterday's question is: August 1st! Yes! Our company birthday is right around the corner as well as delightful surprises so keep an eye and ear out for what's to come! Today's guest is Angela! Angela delightfully lives in Colorado as well and besides creating super neat cards, she also comes over a few times a month to graciously help me with the monster packing. =) She is one of the two 'Garden Gnomes' that work hard to pack those rubbers! lol. The other one is Lady-Princess-Guinevere-Inky-Pixie-Dust-Faerie-something. I'll have to come back when I remember the name. In the meantime, enjoy Angela's delightful creations!

How long have you been stamping?
I have been stamping about 7 years, but I have been honing my craft for about the past 3.

What's your tool of choice?
Wow! This is a tough one...I think my Copics would be my tool of choice, but my cutterbee scissors come in a close second.

Describe yourself in 3 words.
funny, particular, and ...



If you had a stamp line, what would you call it?
Buttons & Rubbah




What's your favorite TGF stamp?
Wow! What a tough decision! I'm going to have to go with Annika because I LOVE her hair and that she's holding books.




If you were a color, what would you be? Why?
As much as I'd like to think I'd be a pretty Aqua color, realistically I think I'm more like Crimson. It's such a strong color and makes a bold statement.

Descibe your crafting area.
Right now it's pretty basic, but all I need is a flat surface and some friends.



When making cards, what is you favorite colors to use?
Lately I love the look of WHITE, but I also love Chocolate with just about any other color.



Do you listen to music while you stamp?
Yes! I put my iPod on shuffle and get to work.



3 wishes:
An endless supply of Ink, Paper & Rubber, Health and wellness for my family & friends, and a stamp studio large enough for my friends and me.


Today's question is: Was there a specific game in elementary that you dreaded?

Dodgeball. I detest dodgeball.

Back to Business

Greetings stampers! I am back! The wedding went very nicely. =) Thanks for all your well wishes! It's funny how all this planning goes into a wedding and then it's all done and over with and you're sitting there in the aftermath going "it's over already?" lol. I was very happy to see family and friends there. It was a bit hectic in the beginning with people running late and things getting lost but overall I am very happy. I am going to post a photo of my family and me and ray and I'll post more at the end of the week. It is still crazy with the unpacking and cleaning and etc at my apartment but I just wanted to drop in quick and said I'm back again. I will spend the rest of the day answering emails and packing orders as well. See you back here tomorrow with a spectacular guest spotlight.


My family, me, and Ray.

Today's question is: In regards to stamping, name something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. =)

Something old is some of my embellishments, something new is new buttons I got off of ebay, something borrowed is my friend's die cut machine, and something blue is my favorite cardstock from SU!

Flyin' with the Farm Hop

A sad note before we kick off the Blog Hop. I am soooo sorry but there has been corrupted data in transferring the gallery stuff. The gallery itself is still working but there will be some of you who will find that your profile has been lost including your personal gallery. I am very very sorry. I really did try all I could yesterday to salvage and restore what I could. I know that some of you had an extensive gallery of pictures and I feel horrible about this unfortunate event. If you choose to, you can re-register in the gallery and reupload your photos. I apologize and I am very very sorry about this. It's very devastating to me right now and I know that it's probably even worse for those of you who've lost their gallery. If there is anything I can do that will make re-uploading easier for you (for eg. like sending me an attachment of your photos and your login name, I can do that for you).
