Flirty Anya

Hello fellow stampers!

Are you enjoying the beginning of the summer? I dn't do well in heat so the summer for me is VERY HIGH electric bills because I must be cool! 

 I love this image!  This is Flirty Anya and her dress and hair are so much fun to color!  I used V15 and V17 to shade for the dress.  Hope you enjoy!

Supplies:  The Greeting Farm (Flirty Anya), Copic Sketch, Paper and embossing folder from my stash

The Greetings Farm - Monday

Nope, you read right. Monday is the name of the stamp and you can pick her up here.  I didn't quite get all of  the colors of the rainbow in my card but it sure is bright : )

I began by first stamping on X-Press It Blending card with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.  Monday was then colored with Copics.  My papers are by Bo' Bunny. While I'm not sure if this particular paper pack is available you not be lacking for choices!! Check out these great paper packs!!!  The link at the lower left of the page will take you to the 6x6, 8x8 and 12x12 paper packs. (Love them!!)
The sentiment is from a set by Amy R of CC Designs.
How easy to add a few "buttons" punched with a 3/4" circle punch from my papers and added some black dots with my sharpie.
There's still time for you to join our Rainbow challenge this month!

Beanie Anya

Hi all.  If you have visited my personal blog you may know that my long time friend (known her since 8th grade) was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer last November.  She actually started chemo the day after her 30th birthday.  Well I am happy to report that today she is in full remission and has had two clean PET scans which is remarkable.  Sometimes in this fight it is hard to think of what you can do for another person but the best thing is to just be there.  We realized that we celebrate so many milestones in life-Anniversaries, birthdays, weddings-that maybe we should celebrate the biggest milestone of all--Life! 

So today why you are perusing blogs, my friends and I are hosting a celebration of life party in honor of my friend Amanda.  We know that although laughter is not cure it sometimes IS the best medicine, so we will have games and the prizes are all known cancer fighters.  The ribbon color for Hodgkin's Lymphoma is lavender and Purple in general is the color for cancer.  So my house is overblown with purple right now. 

Which leads me to this weeks project.  We are all doing scrapbook pages of messages to her and this is the beginning of the book.  This great poem about all that Cancer cannot do was found on the web and I knew I had to use Beanie Anya because Amanda wore a beanie all winter long after she shaved her head.  If you look close you can see that I altered Anya.  The original image has two long pig tails so I just trimmed them out of my image and colored away with my copics.

Here is a close up of Anya

Hope you enjoy this weeks project!  Have a fun and crafty Day!

Supplies:  Beanie Anya, Copics--Sketch, Poem was google searched, paper is from my personal stash.

TGF-Fancy Anya

Hi all!

Today's card uses The Greeting Farm Fancy Anya.  I used my wonderful copics (of course!).  Also, I wanted to add a little tip for all you copic users!  For this card I did not have the right color ribbon to match what I was doing so I used my green copic (the chisel side not the brush) and I colored in my white ribbon to match my card.  Super easy and now any color ribbon you want is at your disposal!

Supplies:  Stamp-The Greeting Farm (Fancy Anya), Stickles, Rectangle Nestabilities
