Crafty Rooms to Share

Hi Stampers! Wow yesterday I got so many crafty rooms to share! Thanks! If you have any sort of an area where you craft, I envy you. ahaha. Naturally I do not have a crafting area at the moment but we are trying to get a storage unit to store all these boxes of rubber so maybe by next month I'll have some sort of an area to share. But for now look at this assortment of creative areas! (there was so many so I have to post only some of them)

Wow wow wow. I loooove looking at these rooms/areas because it's so inspirational plus it gives a lot of ideas on how to store stuff. Craft rooms are so magical, it's like a stamper's batcave!!! I hope you enjoy and thank you everyone for sharing. There was so many rooms but I was only able to show so many at a time. Now I think I'll go dream up my crafting space...

Today's question is: What is the color scheme of your dream crafting room?

It has to be a nice relaxing color to me so I would have to pick like a pale color like maybe seafoam blue/green... something like that with lots of white!

Hello Hello

Greetings and welcome to a brand new year Stamper friends! I trust everyone was well and happy and got lots of stamping done! I also wanted to thank everyone for a supportive and enthusiastic release party! Thanks to Jess, our fabulous Creative Coordinator and the DT for the awesome 12 days of Xmas challenges! That was waaaay fun wasn't it? The best thing about that was that we saw some new faces that participated and that's always something to be cheery about! What a way to ring in the New Year!

Congrats to ANGELA http://inmyquiettime.blogspot.com/

She's the random winner of the 12 days and she wins the entire Jan release! Angela, contact us so we can send out your prize package. We are FLOOREd that we had about 70 participants from each of the 12 days sketch challenges and will definitely keep in mind that you {heart}TGF sketches!  Thank you SOOO much for your participation! Also, the New year's challenge Winners have now been posted at CA&F Thanks!

There are a few changes this year and I'll just recap some of them if case you have not already known about. <-- is that correct grammar?

• CLUB ANYA & FRIENDS! The new and fabulous Challenge Blog! Because of the popularity of our other series, Anya has graciously agreed to share her spotlight with our other dear images. Thanks Anya! If you haven't already, grab this badge and slappity slap it on your blog!

• ONCE A MONTH: Remember back in the day when life was simple and TGF only had one release a month? Yep, we are returning to the good ol days. As fun as it was to have two releases a month, we thought it would be easier on us and your wallets if we focused on just one incredible release a month. But don't worry, we'll still have little surprises through the month, I'm sure of it!

•  PRICE CHANGE: You probably noticed this already but here it is again. All single stamp prices are now $8.

• DT CALLS:  We are currently no longer having gardener calls and have added some of our previous gardeners to our Farmers DT. But because of this, we will be giving out more guest spots!

•  OLIVER & AMELIA : New friends to the farm! You caught a brief glimpse of these new cuties and their debut set 'Happy Day' you had a chance to grab the limited presale on the 1st. If you ordered them, they are already on their way to you! They will officially be available to the public March 1st!
  

 All I have to say is that I am super glad to be back and I am totally looking forward to sharing this year with all of you. We have sooo much new stuff in the works and it's killing us not to show it to you right this second! We will resume our weekly digi giveaway tomorrow. So stop by to see what it is. Love you all! Let's have a great year!

Today's question is: Any new New Year's resolution?

My biggest resolution this year is to make it the best TGF year yet with great new designs and projects to share with everyone. And also to stamp more. hehe.

A Fond Farewell from the Farm..

Hi everyone,
 

{{{Please scroll down for our SKETCH 11 and PREVIEW today!}}}

I have a very special post today...a Fond Farewell.  I guess you could say it's a benefit and a curse of my job, LOL....I get to meet and work with SO many wonderful people-what a tremendous blessing!  Sadly though, it's time to say goodbye to our Four WONDERFUL Winter Gardeners....

I want to thank ALL of them for their talent, enthusiasm, and dedication to TGF.  Today also marks a fond farewell to our AMAZING December Guest Designer, Gabby.  THANK YOU Gabby for all you've done and your amazing work with our Crafty Critter line by Marina!

I asked each of these cherished friends to choose their favorite card they created throughout their time as a TGF Designer and for one more time, please join me in ooohing and ahhing over the work of:

MERCY KERIN

Mercy is hard working, dedicated, and downright HILARIOUS.   She has spiced up our chats (LOL!) during release parties, and has wow'd us with her watercoloring skills!  Thank you MERCY for all of your wonderful contributions to TGF!

LISA FUTCH

Lisa was a newbie to all things DT and as soon as we saw her submissions ,we knew she was a must have!  I am SO happy to see her having been asked to do more DT work because she is hard working, kind, and a wonderful whiz with coloring!  Thank you LISA!

LYNDA NIELSEN

One word...ENTHUSIASM!  Lynda has so much positive energy and is a whiz at not only the front of her cards, but the insides too!  I have LOVED our emails chatting back and forth.  I will miss her as a member of this DT but I KNOW we'll keep in contact as friends.  Thank you LYNDA for all your hard work!

SANDRA MACLEAN

Whether it's an amazing coordination of papers and embellishments or her wonderful watercoloring skills, Sandra has graced TGF in so many ways!  Sandra is so gracious and fun loving and her sunshiney personality will definitely be missed here!  Thank you SANDRA for all of your beautiful work!

Last but not least, GABBY has WOW'd us all month long as Guest Designer.  We had never done a guest spot the way we had planned for Gabby and she was a WONDERFUL addition to our team!  We hate to see her go and have TOTALLY enjoyed the gorgeous coloring skills and awesome layouts that she has graced us with this past month.  Thank you SO much Gabby!

Thanks so much for hanging with us today to bid these fine friends of the Farm farewell!  We hope to see them all around and know they'll be hanging with TGF to check out the new releases, contests, etc. and that our friends will never be TOO far away!

On that note, we welcome our new Farmers and will be back to introduce them formally after our RELEASE DAY!
