This past weekend I had to make a card for my Granddaughter's birthday on the 26th of August.  Since I was making up a birthday card, I decided to enter it into The Greeting Farm's August Retro Fresh Challenge for Birthday Hoopla.  Of course this was specially made for my Granddaughter who is all about the color pink and anything to do with princesses.....and then I added 4 balloons to symbolize her turning four years old.  Here is the creation I came up with.  Card contents are a pinkish card stock, along with black paper and patterned paper of pink cupcakes, and shiny patterned paper pieces of various shades of pink, and three different patterned paper pieces used on castle.  The shiny paper pieces were cut and put behind the castle to make it appear like it was light rays coming off the castle like spot lighting affects. Embellishments used are pink blings, sticker balloons, and string for each balloon. Stamp is TGF Princess Anya and is colored ...

The Greeting Farm's Garden Variety Tuesday challenge is a color theme which are colors inspired from the citrus fruit family of cantaloupes, watermelons, and limes.  Extremely cool color scheme I could not wait to see what I could create......So here is my final creation using the color pallet of the challenge of the week.  Materials used were colored papers of Mango and Citrus, along with a patterned paper but cannot remember from which company off hand, decorative ribbons, and flowers and TGF stamps of Wendy and Peter Pan.  Stamped images were colored with colored pencils and Wendy's skirt is a pieced pattern paper.

This week's Fresh Farm Friday Challenge is "Anything Goes".  I, myself, found the biggest challenge this week to be able to find spare time for crafting.  So many ideas and not enough time to make them come to life......so with what time I was able to find, I decided to use the card I was making for family member to put in for this week's challenge of "Anything Goes".

This card was done for  The Greeting Farm's Garden Variety Challenge.  This week's challenge was about using stickers along with the main character being TGF related.  So here is the creation I came up with for this week's challenge...... Materials used is pink card stock, black paper, Happy Birthday pattern paper, other patterned papers used for the balloons, the 80's Anya, outfit was patterned pieced and the rest was colored with colored pencils, and then a variety of sparkling bling stickers to finish it off.  Hope you enjoy it.  Thanks for dropping in to view my newest creation. 

Within past couple of weeks, I found some spare time to work on a TGF challenge they were running. The Greeting Farm's Garden Variety Tuesday challenge was to use a color scheme of yellow, aqua, grey and black.  So, here is what I came up with: I used yellow textured card stock, layer of black paper, patterned paper of grey with white flowers, pattern papers of  yellow and various shades of aqua blue used for stenciled palm tree and tikiis.  Coloring of Hula Anya was done with colored pencils.  And flowers with pearl embellishments, floral black/aqua ribbon were used to add more decorations along with only a message taken off a decorative birthday stamp I picked up from Michael's or AC Moore.  

Card #5: I had started this card to be in a TGF challenge, but I did not complete it before challenge deadline.  So I completed it and used it as a birthday card to a good friend/neighbor of mine.  Stamp is TGF Surfer Ian colored with colored pencils, textured blue card stock sand papered, pattern paper which is ocean wave related, fun in the sun stamp with silver shimmering color, cut up scrolling embellishments used for waves.  Inside of card had same patterned paper with two message stamps.

Here is card #2

I have been doing all sorts of arts and crafts but this is a new branch of craft work to me.  Here it is in the year 2013, and I have not yet dabbled into the scrap booking/card making worlds yet.  So, I found myself wanting to do so.....So I have recently started purchasing supplies in the past 6 months to start my new adventure into the card making world.  I know everyone has to start somewhere, and of course my first one is pretty simple.  I am sure I will look back on it someday and get a good chuckle on this first attempt of my card making creativity and skill level.  So here I go with sharing the first masterpiece of mine. Lol.  My card #1:
