Once Upon a Time...

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all had a good week and a fantastic start to June which means the beginning of summer.  It's been wonderful weather here in California and I hope it continues. 

If you haven't been by the TGF blog you will definitely want to check it out today.  They are having a TGF Royal Challenge for the next four weeks.  In honor of this ROYAL Challenge, this week's challenge will be a little different at the Farm Fresh Challenge blog...  We are so excited to be playing along with our sistah Farmers for the Wednesday Royal Challenge.  The first week's challenge theme is "Fairy Tale Fun".  All the details are on the TGF blog and we are so excited to see what everyone comes up with.
For some royal inspirations please visit the TGF blog (HERE) as well as the Farm Fresh Challenge blog (HERE).

There was a handsome Prince...

I know there are going to be a flood of pretty Princesses for this first challenge so in honor of the males I created this fun card using the cute Prince Ian, that was released in digi form last summer.  Sorry friends, looks like he was only available for a short time as I couldn't find him in the store.  Hopefully you were able to grab him back then as he is so adorable and a perfect companion to all the Princesses in TGF land.  He's so lucky, he's got his pick of those adorable Princesses. And he's such a good catch.  (hehehe)  My handsome Prince Ian is showing off his castle and I have him in his royal blues..  I had the perfect pp to make this card complete.  I picked another fabulous background paper from the DCWV Once Upon a Time stack.  How perfect is that castle behind Prince Ian?  I could have paired him up with any of the cool backgrounds, but for this card I think the castle in the background worked just fine.  The sentiments are from different pages in the stack, including the "Once upon A time" at the bottom of the card.  With these papers I didn't have to do too much, yay! 

The "crowning" touch would be the crown a top Prince Ian's head.  I found the crown online and had to tweak it a bit.  The back part of the crown actually are the sides to the crown. I folded them back to make the crown a bit more 3-D.  The gems on the front are colored blue and "stickled."  Here is a close up:

I just love him!!  What Princess could turn him down right?! (hahaha)
