Happy Birthday CHRISTINE from All That Scraps

Today we are blog hopping to celebrate Christine’s birthday! Christine is our wonderful illustrator of C.C.Designs and co-owner of All That Scraps. Happy Birthday girl!!

The hop starts at the All That Scraps blog. If you have arrived from Ria Van Son’s awesome blog, you are in the right place. We are so glad you are here.

A few words from me about the sweet Christine. I only live about 45 minutes from Christine’s actual brick and mortar store. I went for a visit to the store a couple of years ago to pick up some goodies to use. I got to meet Christine in person and oh my what a treat it was. She is a sweetie pie. She took the time out of her busy schedule to show me around her store and actually take me in the back room to see how the “behind the scenes” stuff was run. I got to see how they print their own rubber stamps …. it was amazing. I want to thank Christine for making that day very special for me. I also want to thank her for always having faith in me and for giving me the opportunity to showcase her amazing images. Christine, you are one of the sweetest and kindest people I know. I hope this day is very special for you and that all your dreams come true. I love you girl. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I have been in love with C.C. Designs images for a long time. Check out all my posts here that show everything I have ever done with Christine’s images, long before I came to be on the design team. It will start out with my current creations and go backwards in time to my first ever C.C. Designs card on November 25, 2009.

Here is the birthday card I made for Christine’s birthday today. I used several different items from the ATS store on this card. Here is a complete list.

• C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Bouquet Birgitta Rubber Stamp
• C.C. Designs Laugh Lines Postage Rubber Stamp
• C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Stone Wall Rubber Stamp
• C.C. Designs Cutters Rolling Rose Die
• C.C. Designs Cutters Teardrop Border Die

Your next stop on the hop is Marion E.’s fabulous blog.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy the blog hop and our tribute to the sweet, precious Christine. We love you girl.

Hugs,

Pam

I Can See CLEARLY Now at The Greeting Farm

Hey, everyone!

I am back to fully reveal what may have been just a cloudy snippet yesterday... did you see through our little surprise or are you CLEARLY stumped?

Well, wonder no more because some of the cherished members of the TGF alum along with the Farmers are thrilled to bring you a BRAND NEW line by TGF:

CLEAR STAMPS!!!!

Before we go any further, these stamps are not replacing our rubber line.  We are testing the waters to bring you some fun new designs, and most of all QUALITY stamps!  To add to the fun, we also have the opportunity to bring you some RE-RELEASES, in addition to NEW releases and we are excited to get started with our first two sets!

INTRODUCING.....

BANTASTIC

and MY FAIRY PRINCESS

I used My Fairy Princess for my card today. I stamped the mushroom image straight onto some patterned paper and then cut out the fairy and put her in the air above the mushroom. I also colored and cut out one of the mushrooms and attached to the top of the stamped mushroom image for a dramatic effect. I just love these cute Fairies. Here is my card.

So, what do you think?  Are you CLEARLY stunned or could you see RIGHT THROUGH our snippet yesterday?   Anxious to try the new line?  Well, be sure to leave a comment on the TGF BLOG to see who ELSE is previewing the FUN today...you'll see some familiar faces in addition to our Farmers and there's a SET OR TWO UP FOR GRABS there, too!
