Color Challenge : Blue, White and One other Color
for me that would be "Green"
 I got a few new images from The Greeting Farm and one of them is this sweet little set from "Oliver & Amelia" Surprise. This set is just perfect for Birthday or Anniversary. I went very simple with my card being it is a "masculine" one.  I only cut out a  little square of my DP from My Minds Eye " lime Twist". a cute little ribbon and some "button brads" Sentiment is also from the Stamp set.
I colored Oliver up with my Prisma Pencils and OMS... I have seen some great inspiration where the image's hair is just left as is.  Does he not look soo "handsome" in his jeans and dressy shirt with cute vest.

Warning "Lots of Pictures"

 Hi Everyone... Sooo Happy for today.. Because it's  "The Greeting Farm 3rd Annual Customer Blog HOP!!>>>>>>Please make sure you start at TGF for the "full list" of blogs for our hop.
As I ponder on what to maker for my DD's class for her last day of school.. I saw some awesome "inspiration" from all the Talented ladies of both "The Greeting Farm "Farmers" as well as my Talented team over at The Farm Fresh Challenges Blog;  But mostly from ALL of you; that participate in our weekly and monthly challenges. I say it again' "You all ROCK!!!!!
I Decided to make these very "Cute and easy" Treat Bags with several stamp images from The Greeting Farm.
 I started with a 4x6 Clear cello bag. filled them with some goodies. (if you look closely at the Granola bar you will see some decorative green tape.. that's because they are from Halloween... Hey a group of 6 yr old don't mind hehehe.
Cut my Card stock at 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. folded in half. I added some strips of DP and stamped with the Christmas Tree from "Cheeky Christmas" and Sentiments from "Keep Cozy" Set... Added lots of stickles to the Christmas Tree, but it's hard to see from here.
 What was so great about these where that I "ONLY" used my scraps of DP to decorate my white card stock.I only had to make 20 of them which  really took me no time to finish them all.. .

This Next one is the Card I made for her Teacher.
" A Little Snow Man Soup"
 I made this super cute and easy Hot Cocoa Holder for her Teacher.. Using one of the Snowman (colored with Prisma and OMS)  from the "Keep Cozy" stamp set. I am just in LOVE with this set.. I can use all of them "over and over" again.
 Here is the inside with a packet of Hot Cocoa, packet of  marsh mellow and a little candy cane. If you would like to purchase this "template and many more you can find them all "here".
I found this " Snowman Soup Poem" on line and just printed it out.. Sorry about the bad image.

Wanted to show how you can make some "Great, fun and easy" projects using your "Greeting Farm" stamps. 
Please make sure that you leave a "comment" on every one's post for your chance to win an Prize. If you get lost along the way just head back to The Greeting Farm blog".
