W.O.W. Photo inpsiration #3

Hello Friends,
Hope you are all having a great week.  It's half-way to the weekend and I'm pretty excited about it.  Don't have much planned, except catching up on some projects.  Hopefully it will be very productive.  What are you looking forward to this weekend? 

Today over at the Farm Fresh challenge blog we have a new challenge.  This week is a photo inspiration.  Here is the picture and we want you to find your inspiration in it.   Don't forget to stop by the FFC blog to see what wonderful and inspirational cards and projects the DT created.

Photo inspiration #3

Doesn't this room look bright and fun?  I love the colors and all the whites.  I chose the colors, the flowers and the nightstand for my share.  I went to SCS to find a tutorial on how to make a drawer box.  I found this one called Santa drawers by Brenda.  I sorta struggled with the dimensions, but all in all it worked out.  This is my first drawer box and it is by no means perfect, but I like the first attempt.  Will definitely keep practicing.

I used flowers, hardware from SU and ribbons for the "knobs" on the drawers.  Stamped O&A "Just for You" sentiment on top of the drawer and added the same colored ribbons around to knot at the top.   Why?  Well because I made an easel card and needed it to be the stopper for the card.  Ta-da

Here is a close up of the card featuring a combo of Lolli Anya and HG Snuggle, both retired images.  I've always wanted to do this combo, love how she looks.  The sentiment is from the O&A My Fav Things (Happy Day)

Alrighty friends, it's that time.  Time for you to try your hand at creating a card or project using the photo inspiration.  Remember to incorporate any of The Greeting Farm images to qualify for the prize which is a digital image of choice.

The W.O.W. challenge is open until Tuesday; entries are due by 12 PM CST.

WOW - Sketch #5

Helllloooo!!!!

 
Today there is a new sketch for this week's WOW challenge over at the Farm Fresh Challenge blog.  Hope you are excited to join in all the fun!  Here is sketch #5 designed by our awesome captain, Rachel.

Click HERE to see how the rest of the DT interpreted the sketch. 

**Disclaimer, this is going to be a pretty long post.  Why?  Because I went a bit wild and made two cards to inspire you.  hehehe..  Sorry I just couldn't help it.  : )  Most of it is just pictures, I'll try not to write too much so you can get through faster.  Enjoy!! ; )

I chose to use my two newest Oliver & Amelia images from the AHOY set to create two cards, but I flipped one of them.  Seeing as these two are in their nautical wear I chose to use the same themed papers and colored them with reds, whites & blues. 

First up is Amelia:

I added the sentiment so there is an extra element to the sketch, the circle.  The anchor is glittered with stickles and is part of the stamp set as well as the Ahoy! sentiment.  If you look at the two left corners, you will see star punch-outs with white stitching and two stars.  Since the dp had so many cool elements, I thought the punched out corners would be cool.  Adding the stars & stitches to the dark blue paper really make it pop.  Here is a close up of this darling little girl. 

I have to say, I am so lovin' how her hair turned out.  Also, love her cute outfit in red with the blue accents.  Now here is sailor Oliver in his dress blues...

As you can see I flipped this card to go the opposite direction, but still kept the sketch in mind.  Yes, the elements are the same as the card above with a few differences.  And here is a close up of this cutie...

I'm so glad I used both of these images to create two separate cards.  I had so much fun creating them and using Rachel's sketch helped me tremendously.  I probably would have only had 1 card if I didn't have a sketch to play with.  With that being said, I hope you get a chance to play along.  : )

• Use any TGF image (digis or rubbah, they all rock! )
• Upload your card/project to the TGF Galleria>Farm Fresh Challenges 2011>Which One Wednesday>Sketch #5

Mahalo for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...  AHOY!!
