Design Your Anya

Greetings Friends! I hope everyone has been doing splendidly. It has been massively windy here in Parker, CO. Seriously. Yesterday I was walking to the apartment from our storage garage with an armful of stamps to pack and I kid you not, it almost sent me sprawling into the grass. Ok so today let's start a brand new contest. So the poll was held and the people have spoken! Our next super fun contest will be the 'Design Your Anya' contest! Read on below for all the details!

DESIGN YOUR ANYA CONTEST

What is it: We're giving you an opportunity and a chance to design an Anya stamp! The winning design will get to be turned into rubber! Along with a $100 gift certificate to the TGF store. How fun is that!


What to do: All you have to do is create ONE concept that you'd like to see as the next Anya. You can draw freehand, trace and copy existing Anya images, there really is not a limit to your creativity in this contest. Not a problem, if you're not too handy with a pencil, you can even just doodle your concept idea and scan it. I know that some of you may be intimidated by the idea of actually drawing Anya but be rest assure that if your idea is chosen, we will make sure that your final Anya will look consistent and as cute as all the existing Anyas. So doodle away! Everyone will only be allowed one entry.


Where to Submit: We are actually having some trouble with the gallery but that may be the only place we can really upload it to a the time being. So I will be creating a folder there under contests/challeges > Design Your Anya Everyone who is participating will be submitting their concepts in there. If you are having trouble, please email your concept to thegreetingfarm@gmail.com and will we upload it for you.

Voting: The TGF staff will be selecting the top 5 runner ups in the contest and then we will be polling it on the blog so that you, the readers, will get a chance to vote for the top design!

Due Date: Final day to submit your concept is Monday May 31st 11:59pm cst.

Have fun!

If you have any questions, regarding this contest, please comment below and we will answer them tomorrow. Have a great day!

Hey everyone!
Jess popping in tonight for a little weekend fun :)

I LOVE Twitter.  I'm on it from my phone quite often, probably boring people with life's little anecdotes from day to day...but I also love the inspiration I can share via cool quotes, etc.   LOVE it!  Anyway, I was updating my own blog w/ a Twitter button and thought, hey!  Why doesn't TGF have one?!?

Well, WE DO NOW!

www.twitter.com/thegreetingfarm

And we want to get the word out... FAST!   So here's the deal.   LEAVE A COMMENT on this post when you FOLLOW TGF on Twitter, and we'll choose a winner for a FREE DIGI on Monday!

Good luck, thanks for keeping up w/ the latest here on the Farm....and a little BIRD told me there's more to come!

Planning a new Contest

Howdy y'alls!

Before I forget, the Newsletter is going out today. Thanks Jess for putting that lovely thing together.

Yep as you can see, I am still keeping up with my few cards a week. This card took like 15 minutes to make including the coloring. Yes it's true! I used the cutie Oliver with puppy stamp from the OA-Buddies set. He's just so adorable.

Okayyyy so I realized that it's been rather quiet since the ending of our TGF Royal Battle challenge and I know some of you are just itching to do another fab contest so I have been thinking and there had been a previous contest we did last year that was hugely successful in which several of you have suggested redoing. This was the 'Design Your Sprout' contest where we let you, the customers come up with the 'concept' of our next sprout. Last year's winner was Kimberly Yu who did the Sassy Suzi design. You did not have to be a Van Gogh to participate, all you had to do and doodle up your concept and then the public votes for it.

For this time around though, I wasn't sure if we should go with 'Design Your Creeper' or 'Design Your Anya'. So I will let you guys decide on it. There is a poll to the right so vote which contest you'd like see. Of course I will add a little twist to this contest to spice it up a bit but for now, let figure out the basics first!

Have a great day and remember to vote!

Today's question is: What is your occupation?

I design stamps!
