January 29, 2010 at 7:36 AM CHA CRAZINESS...
has come to an end.
The problem with coming home from CHA is all I want to do is play. Because the "mojo" is flowing!
New stamps. New paper. New dies. New ideas. New techniques. New friends. New pictures. OH MY!
{I need all of you all tell my family that clean clothes and food is highly overrated - LOL!}
I spotted this stamp line on Saturday afternoon, during CHA setup. I knew right away that all of my "Copic-lovin'-Scrapy-Land-Divas" would just love it. It's called "The Greeting Farm" and the images are cuter-than-cute.
Here is the link to their company blog...and here is the link to the Anya & Friends blog. {Anya is one of their adorable little characters!}
I met the artist and their head designer...such sweet girls. We chatted for a long time, heard some fun stories and shared ideas. LOVE new companies that are so anxious to know their customers.
When I let the "Fab Four" know that The Greeting Farm was heading to Scrapy Land - Veronica squealed. She already has one of their stamps and can't wait to get more. She whipped up a sample for me to share with you.
Meet Anya and Ian. These little cuties will soon be available in lots of different outfits, settings and activities. And wait until you see the great Scrapy Land prices! {Think single-digits!}
Veronica used her Greeting Farm happy couple stamp and colored it with a handful of Copics. She cut it out with her Spellbinders Labels 1 and layered her ribbon and patterned paper under that shape.
But I think her pop-dots totally put the polish on her card. I just love using pop dots on cards like this. Makes the colored image just scream "look at me"! Adorable, just adorable.
She finished the inside of her card with white cardstock, another stamped image and her handwritten sentiment.
And look how she completes the backs of her favorite cards. A matching hunk of paper, a computer generated tag-line and a shape cut from her QK Nesting Label. What a sweet idea. Do you all "sign" your works of art? I think we all should!
Thanks Veronica, the fact that you already love The Greeting Farm just validates the decision to carry all of the Anya and Ian stamps. WOOT WOOT - I can't wait for them to arrive in a week or so!
Monday is the first day of February. And those of you who were around last February will remember that it's my favorite month.
It's my birthday month.
It's my anniversary month.
It's Valentine's month.
{And pitchers and catchers report month!}
The January craziness is behind us - the Fab Four are in full swing - we've nailed down some schedules and routines - and a great month is in store.
The party starts Monday. Because my birthday means gifts...gifts for YOU! {wink, wink}.
I'm here for your habit...

Veronica, what a cute card. Makes me want the stamps.
Susan, thanks for finding the stamp line. And thanks for reminding us that catchers and pitchers report next month. Ahhhhh, one more sign that spring is on the way!
Cute card Veronica! I can't wait to see more of Ian and Anya...they are too sweet.
Susan, is Dani going to be selling the whole stamp line, including the animals. They're as cute as Anya and her friends!
I am so happy that The Greeting Farm stamps are going to be available at Scrapy Land. I have quite a few in my stamp collection and love these stamps.
In fact, here is one of the cards I made with the Mermaid Anya from TGF:

What great stamps! I like to see which ones will be sold by Dani.
Susan, Those stamps are just darling. I would need to get one and break out all those COPICS I have been collecting.
Veronica that card is jut so cute. I love the coloring an the raising up of the stamped image. Looking forward to seeing what's next with this stamp line.
I have increased my copic collection and am excited to start using them.

I just love this line, the Miss Anya's are truly gorgeous.
I am just catching up with the blog after being at CHA with Susan. Those stamps are cute!
And Susan to answer your question about signing our work... I do for the most part. Every LO that I do is signed and dated on the back and a personal note wrote to those in the LO. My Albums will go to my kids when I am gone and I want them to have some special little notes that only they know about when they get the albums.
