The Greeting Farm has the right MOVES!!!

Happy Friday!
It has been one HECTIC week for me! School starting for my kiddos, ALL of them! Drama, money issues, bills and even a bday thrown in for good measure lol! life is exciting!
Anyways this week we at The Greeting Farm are challenging you to MOVE something on your CARD! (you minnesotans probably know the Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial, "Let me see you MOVE something" LOL!)


I was feeling in a halloween-y mood and colored up this ADORABLE Penny Witch digi! She is colored with my Derwent colored pencils. I went to Splitcoaststampers.com (my FAV website) to find a moving technique and found a Surprise pop-up card tutorial found here! It was pretty easy, whew! :) I used some Eerie BG dp and a bit of Papertrey Ink ribbon and cardstock to finish this card.
Hope you like it!!

Wild Flower Wednesday Challenge #31 Scallops and buttons!

Happy Wednesday again!
I am a little stressed out because my last baby just started Kindergarten yesterday! Where does the time go?? She had a good time! My kiddos are so brave and wonderful :)
So after biting my nails, drinking a whole pot of coffee, looking at my phone every five minutes and pacing the floor in front of my patio door all day I had time to make a card!! LOL! Whew!
So anyways it is Wild Flower Wednesday!!!!
I used this sweetie who reminds me a bit of my little girl on her first day of school. She is from the Pretty in Pink set from Wild Flower Kids! I colored her with my colored pencils by Derwent and all the DP is cosmo cricket Joy Ride line. I used MOJO monday sketch 155 {Yes I alter from the sketch a bit} for my inspiration. This weeks challenge is Scallops and buttons so I added scalloped edges and a button on my bow.
Hope you like it!
