Halloween is right around the corner!!! As promised to my sister, I did really take 'Halloweenish' photos of Lily. haha. We took these in the small grassy corner of our non-existent front yard. Lily was a good sport, although couldn't get a smile out of her. Ray said we were tormenting her by dressing her in a ridiculous pumpkin costume. Hey man, I'm her mother, I pushed her out during labor, I DESERVE pumpkin pictures!!! Lily will be 10 months on Halloween.

Here are some lovely samples from the 'Two-Toned' assignment! I think using two colors is actually very visually powerful. :) Great job everyone!

Top Crop Tuesday With Farmer Kim

Hello!!!!

The days seem to go by so quickly for me! What about you guys? Yup, today is Tuesday already and you all know what that means, right? Top Crop Tuesday! I love going through the TGF Gallery and ever since TGF joined the Splitcoaststampers family, I love going there as well!

Here a a few AMAZING creations I spotted in both galleries!

This awesome card belongs to Pam. I love her use of vibrant colors! It shows confidence!

Look at this cool card from Rachel! So perfect for Halloween!

Here is one I spotted in the Splitcoaststampers TGF gallery by Scrapacat. Simply beautiful! So the quote too!

Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us! We hope you guys continue to upload your wonderful creations to our galleries! They are full of inspiration!

Designer Spotlight with Farmer Becca!!!

Hi there The Greeting Farm fans. It is me, Farmer Becca, here with this week's Designer Spotlight. I hope you all had a great weekend, I sure did. I got lots of family time (which is my favorite), got to watch my son's football practice, and spend a little time in my craft room, which is always fantastic! Here is one of the creations I came up with this weekend using

TGF's Tea-rrific clear set.

I love this set, I think it is my favorite of the clear sets. I love how the images can be used for an all-occasion card, as I always seem to find a need for them. Plus, I love adding flowers to my cards, and this set just seems to be perfect for adding flowers!
I hope I have inspired you to get a little crafty this week. Break out those TGF stamps and ink them up. Hope you have a great week.

Some FARM FRESH FUN with The Twinery!

{{{please scroll down for our heART Journaling post today- thanks!}}}

Welcome to our combined Blog Swap/Hop today featuring two fantastic companies, The Greeting Farm and The Twinery!   If you're just getting here from BECCA's blog, WELCOME!  If you have yet to begin the hop, please visit the TWINERY BLOG to begin!  Hooray!

Did we mention PRIZES? There are definitely a few of those too so you'll want to check out our event today! Thank you so much for coming!

For those of you NEW to the Twinery, their Baker's Twine is made from 100% cotton, it's eco-friendly and made in the USA. Whether you're gift wrapping, crafting or tying up baked goods to give to a friend, this TOP quality baker's twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic look to any project at hand! The Twinery twine comes in 14 delicious colors and is uniquely twisted against a bright white hue, creating an eye-popping burst of color and a creative embellishment! It has lots of color which lends to a fun, candy-striped look.

Since I'm blessed to be working with BOTH these wonderful companies today, I'm thrilled to be showing you my project today using the TGF "Wild Sprout Logan" and Twinery Twine in Stone which I think might be my new favorite color!   My card is also casing THIS card today for the Farm Fresh Friday 'Spy-day" on the Farm Fresh Challenge Blog- be sure to check it OUT!
