Hey Friends!
Happy Wednesday!  Hope you are having a great week so far.  It's starting out to be a busy week at work for me so I am going to try and get around to visiting everyone soon.  For now, I wanted to share today's WOW challenge over at the Farm Fresh Challenge blog.  We are back with a sketch by our captain Rachel.  Here is this week's WOW challenge sketch:

She's got some pretty cool ideas for sketch layouts dont'cha think?  I feel you nodding and I agree!  hehehe.  To see what the creative and inspirational DT has come up with please click HERE.  Here's how I interpreted the sketch:

I played around again with body switching, can't get enough of it, and came up with this Creeper Kid switch. Wednesday is not only rockin' the red & pink hair she's also way happy to be out of the school uniform. hehehe  With school out for the summer this little gal is ready to toss the books and get some fun in. 
Hope you get a chance to play with this week's sketch.  It's such a fun one, common' ya know you wan'na..  hahaha!

The Voice is on so I'm going to close with a Mahalo for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!! 
Hugs!!

Happy Birthday Mas!

Hello friends, I'm here with a just for fun share...

We celebrated my older brother's birthday today.  Had a really yummy dinner at our favorite restaurant, Ai's in South Pasadena, then we came home and had a yummy home-made carrot cake made by my friend Doreen.  I wanted to make my brother a fun birthday card, but I needed a fun image. The only one I could figure to use who would most resemble him was Noah from the Creepin' Creeper Crew collection from The Greeting Farm.  I did a major alteration on him, wiping away most of his body and drawing in his torso & legs.  I messed up on his feet, but eh, no matter it still looks ok.  He wouldn't notice anyways.. lol..  He's always wearing plaid board shorts with a tank top or t-shirt with his slippahs.  Always with the slippahs is this guy even if it's raining outside.  hehehe.  His hair is as long as mine too and usually tied with a rubberband, but I like Noah's hair so kept it the same instead of "taming" it.  And lastly I gave him some facial hair as my brother occassionally sports a goatee.  Here's a close-up of the altered image:

As you can see I drew in a tank top with plaid shorts, drew in his legs to connect to his feet and gave him a little facial hair.  My brother's hair isn't that curly, but I couldn't resist keeping it the same.  The rest of the card was pretty simple.  The colors and papers on the card were pretty simple, greens, browns and yellows.  Chose a cool patterned paper and kept the rest simple.  He got a kick out of it.  On the inside of the card I wrote, "I thought he looked a bit like you."  Here is the rest of the card:

Here are a few shots of my brother with the cake my friend Doreen baked:

 

Here he is with a t-shirt today, but there are some plaid shorts, too bad his hair is tied back and his cap is on else you could see his long hair. 

Alrighty friends, I'm going to try and catch up on some weekly posts, hoping to get to some challenges as well as visit your lovely blogs.  Hope you have a fantastic Sunday doing something fun.  Until next time, Mahalo for stopping by for my just for fun share.
Hugs,
Leanne

MM CASE'ING... Melyssa Connolly

Good morning Friends!!
Did any of you get a chance to purchase any of the new releases going on all over blogland?  I have to say I was bad, and hopefully will get to show off some of those wonderful images when I get them. hehehe..

Today is another MM Case'ing over at the TGF-Farm Fresh Challenge blog.  Are you all enjoying the challenges that have been set before you?  I hope so as we are having so much fun creating them and seeing what you have been creating.  Keep up the wonderful job everyone!! :)
For today's case, 1LuvnMama chose this really pretty card by Melyssa Connolly.

Isn't her card wonderful?  I love that she mixed and matched the different patterned papers, and using the cool Creeper Sweet, from the Sweet & Toxic set, brought a lot of fun character to her card.  Make sure to stop by the Farm Fresh Challenge blog to see how the other ladies on the DT case'd Melyssa's card.  

I case'd her card but flipped it a little bit.  I am using my newest favorite bad boy, WS Ryan.  Isn't he the coolest addition to the WS crew?  I love his hair, so spikey and cool.  He's probably got all the girls on the Farm on edge he's so cool and cute, definitely bad boy material to me! hehehe

I couldn't resist coloring his hair like he had flames coming out of his head.  hehehe..  I think it turned out pretty HOT!  (no pun intended)  I kept the rest of his outfit pretty neutral, but still all boy.  The rest of the card came together pretty fast once I chose all the papers and the ribbon.  I thought these were masculine enough for Ryan's all guy coolness.  As you can see, I flipped the sentiments deciding the circle would look much better on top and the square one on the bottom.  Here is a close-up of Ryan:

Hehe, well I hope you like what I came up with for today's challenge case.  I hope you get a chance to play along, I would love to see how you interpret Melyssa's card.

Here is a reminder of the rules:

• Use ANY TGF image
• You can either case the card or use it as an inspiration
• Upload project to the TGF Galleria - Home > Farm Fresh Challenges 2011 > Mystery Mondays > Melyssa by Sunday, 12 pm CST

• HAVE FUN!!

Mahalo for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!
Hugs,
Lilo
