Here is an awesome lineup before we head off into the weekend!

This first one is by Cindy. Beautifully done!


Look at the beautiful coloring on these Pretty Heads by Lindsay!



This adorable Cup of Stuff card is by Michelle! This is still one of my favorite sets! and you can see why.


And this huge pile of uber cuteness is by Jenn!!! So many awesome cards!








Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Today's question is: Plane, train, or car?

Hmmm I guess car is my fave way of transportation, unless we're traveling far then flying is definitely the way to go.

Marvelous Cards and a Sneak Peek

Greetings stamperistas! You know, every day I get a sweet handful of emails requesting the rubberizing of the digi-stamps. I'm pretty open to suggestions but the only thing that I am consistent on is the image can only be one or the other. If we make a digi into rubber, it will no longer be available as a digi. This of course will be a dismay to digi-lovers. So here's what my proposal is:

We'll have a vote at the end of each month and one digi will be made into rubber. Once the vote ends, the digi will be removed from the website until it is rubberized. How does this sound? Let me know what you think.

We have a boatload of cards today to show. I went harvesting in the gallery last night and spotted some that caught my eye. So I washed them and polished them and set them here for all to view!

This first one is of Dorothy Anya by Cathy! My fave aspect of this card... it looks like a water painting. Love the colors and the little ribbon is a perfect touch!


Ooooh look at the vibrant colors on this one. Gorgeous! Made by Claudette.


This perfect card of Birthdayness is made by our Elena, using the little cake from the Happy Chef set.


This golden-haired mermaid was expertly crafted by none other than our Club Anya VP, Jessica.


Yes! I love these! These lovelies were created by Jacquie! Gorgeous!!!




Oh la la! Is this Ian's secret recipe for his delicious brocolli soup? An excellent recipe card by PjPants!


Yayyy this sweet card was made by Susan, who won the Anya Fashion Contest! Is she cute or what?!

Amongst this sea of girliness is one lone space man. Ian by Wicked Pixie.


Wow what an awesome lineup today!!! And here's a sneak peek at what's in my workshop! More on this next week!


Enjoy your Thursday! Some awesome news tomorrow so drop on by!


Today's question is: What's for lunch?

Some sort of a chicken dish, whatever I decide to make. Or whatever I can make from it. hahahaha. Oh and a salad! Yum!


Here's Bailey using Stewie as a pillow.


This is Bailey's shocked expression when the Pillow got annoyed and left.

Hmmm...

Good day my friends. Hope all is well in Stamping Land. Today is rather a quiet day for me except for a few errands and I have to take Bailey to the vet for his last puppy shots. Can't have the little guy getting rabies or something hahaha. Oh and ooooh I may be getting the Army set next week. We'll see!

Here are some cards to brighten up this gray day! The first few are by none other than the super talented Ana!





This pretty card is made by Cheryl! Love the soft color palette.


Omigoodness I love this one! It's by Elena and she made a sailor Ian! How nautical!


Patricia made this cute card for Chinese New Year!!! It is stinkin' cute!!! I love the paper and the sentiment!


January has usually always been the longest month of the year to me but this year, it went by pretty fast. But the good thing is that with February, there will be new things to show and preview! Have a great day everyone! Hugs!

Today's question is: What color are your eyes?

Brown. One of my fav colors to combo. lol.

Tuesday's Cards

Brrrr.... it's been snowing and rather blustery so I hope everyone is keeping warm wherever you are. Me and the boston bros have been trying to keep warm. Stewie and Bailey have been mostly napping the cold mornings away which I wish I could do. On a side note, I have been attacking the veggie trays like mad the past few days, munching on cucumber with dressing, pickles, and black olives. It's frightful. Naturally, binging on sodium infused olives and pickles lead to water retention so I'm like a puffy fish now. Quite an eye sore.

Onwards to the lovely cards of today. I was thrilled to find new treasures in the gallery which I shall share as well!

Voila! The art of Elena! For these cards of cuteness, she used the Wonderland set!



This cute Geisha trio was created by Honeythorpe.


This is just the sweetest little chef!!! A la Faith! I love the mustache and the background. Details are perfect!


This is from Chat!!! How beautiful and elegant!!! The stamp is from Sweet Deal.


Ahhh and this splendid Mermaid Anya is by Minnie Mel. Love the dimensions and layout of this card. Plus the pinkness of it, drew me in. hehe.


And wow look at this bird house by Joni!!! It's like the TGF barn!!! Of course I fell in love with it immediately!


Also I am sad to announce that our lovely DT member Pam will be stepping down from our DT. Pam has been with the Pink Poison/TGF family since it started in August so I'm very sad to see her go but I wish her well and happiness. She will still finish off some cards so we will still see a few more from her before her final farewell. We'll miss you dearly Pam!

Today's question is: Mac or PC?

Mac!!! I've been on a Mac for about 6 years now. It took a while to get used to but once I started design school, it was mandatory to use Macs. Macs have come a long way and I no longer hate it now. LOL!

Cupcake Digi Kit

Yayyy another start of a wonderful week. Hope everyone's weekend was swell. Today I introduce to you a new digi kit in the TGF family... Cupcake Party Tray! This is actually more of a mini-kit, it does not include an alphabet set. Originally it was going to be part of a Happy Birthday kit but since I'm going with a different theme for the Happy Birthday, Cupcakes became its own little kit.




I also have some cards to show but my internet connection is acting up so I'll return tomorrow with splendid cards for all!

Today's question is: What kind of car do you drive?

My car is a blue Scion Xa. It's small and very dependable!

And the Winner is...

It was really hard!!! I loved all the card and their adorable and inspiration descriptions! I tried to get Ray to help but he couldn't choose less than 5 so he was pretty unhelpful. hahaha. But after long hours of pacing and narrowing, the winner of the Unicorn Challenge is....

MELYSSA CONNOLLY - DUSK
Meet Dusk he only comes out as the sun is setting. His coat and mane are camoflauge for just such a time. He is the Unicorn of late night inspiration for all those paper crafters who stay up late creating. You know he has visited because his hoves leave a trail of glitter behind. And your head is swimming with ideas. I love Dusk!!

I love Dusk and I know that he's visited everyone of you as well! What I liked most about this card is that it is very simple but bold and beautiful at the same time. Everything was beautifully done. Awesome work Melyssa. Email me your two choices of stamps and I'll send them out asap!

Also the shop is stocked again so if there was anything missing, it's back in! Here's a cute little lineup for today!!!

This sweetie Ian is by Ana! I love his hat on here! Ana always has the cutest layouts.


Here's a cute Angel Anya and Sweet Deal monkey by Cheryl! As usual bows look awesome!



Look at these cute Panda Friends by Jenn! Adorable!



Have a great Friday and stay safe this weekend! I'll see you back on Monday!

Today's question is: Best place to shop for clothes?

I don't shop for clothes that much anymore but when I need something I usually head for Old Navy. hahaha. I feel like I'm at that weird phase where I can't shop in the College-y junior section anymore but not yet in the Misses section either.

Farmers Market Day

Every 3rd Thursday of the month, the Greeting Farm will have a Farmers Market where there will be 3 random stamp sets on sale! So if you've been waiting for these sets, now's a good time to get them! Good while supplies last! You know the saying: The Early Bird Catches the Worm!




Enjoy! I'll be spending today, looking over the overwhelmingly creative Unicorn gallery. Have a splendid day stampers!

Today's question is: Truth or Dare?

I also chose truth when we played this game. I was afraid that if I chose Dare, they would make me eat something gross. hahaha.

Duh Day

Today's a brain-freeze day for me. I'm finally finishing up a huge project that was suppose to be done weeks ago. It's like 90% done. I'm really just sitting here, looking at the screen and the ceiling. I think my brain went out to lunch.

Oh yes, all Unicorn entries should be in by Midnight! I'm loving what I'm seeing so far. And I love reading the descriptions of each unicorn!

My brain is away but luckily we have these cards!!! lol! This first one is by Patricia! What is the story behind this proposal??? I wonder. How romantic.


Another adorable Light Up card by Cheryl! And a super cute Pretty Hat Anya!



Faith sent in this very pretty Light Up card as well! It's a very relaxing card...


During my raiding of the gallery I came upon Joni's fantastic Geisha Anya. The fan and the screen... genius!!!


Ahhh and this card is by Rachel! She used my new digi stamp 'Pretty Head Lily'!



My Pretty Head girls were originally pocket mirrors that I am translating into stamps. I initially wanted to rubberize them but thought I'd wait to see the response to them first. They were inspired by cameos. I have a total of 9 Pretty Head girls and Lily was one of the first ones. I hope you like her!

Today's question is: What was your favorite age?

I think my favorite age was 23. I was over 21 and on my own and I had just landed a nice little job at the time. It was a good year for me. lol. Now if only I can take what I know right now and go back to that year. hahaha.
