So for my Inspiration, I used the Cover of the Twilight book!!! :) And the stamps I chose to use are the Newly Released Epic Tales set!!! Im loving this set, and have had alot of fun designing with it!!

Here is the book cover I used as my Inspiration :) So I was inspired by the hands and apple!!!





The dp I used is from 7 gypsies, and I added some sewing to match the 1 dp. Next I cut out the border with the martha stewart punch. My frames are spellbinders, and I airbrushed the stamped one. Then added some flowers,pearls,and branches! To complete my card I added a bow :)

The Greeting Farm Release Day!!!!

Hey everyone!
It's TGF RELEASE DAY and there's NO April Fool's joke here when we say that ALL NEW RELEASES are now available in the
TGF Store We hope you've enjoyed our previews this week and are SO excited to welcome Get Well by Marina Neira, Stamping Anya, Eric, Dee Dee, and Oliver/Amelia "Buddies" to the TGF Family of rubber! Today is a GREAT day and we're so happy you're along for the ride!
Today we are also excited and honored to announce the 1st "TGF Cares" Charity Card Drive. This is something that TGF has been wanting to do for a long time and we have finally been able to put together a card drive for a cause very close to our hearts. A few years ago, Jessica was introduced to a family who was only a few weeks away from losing their two-year old daughter, whose name was also Jessica. Through this terrible tragedy, the family couldn't say enough about how wonderful the Ronald McDonald House was to them, specifically the one near the Fairview Children's Hospital near Minneapolis, MN. (please see Jessica's blog for more on this touching story and how TGF customers can help put a smile on the faces of many in need of them!)
There are so many sick children whose families do nothing short of moving mountains for these kids to help them get well. Not only is it important to lift the spirits of these courageous children, but also the families-the parents, siblings, and relatives during all of the emotional ups and downs of a child's fight for life.

TGF is proud and honored to be collecting cards that will go to the RMH in Minneapolis as well as the Fairview Children's Hospital, parents, and siblings of these petite patients during the long and brave journey of theirs. Be sure to stop by the
TGF BLOG today for complete details on this special contest close to our hearts.

For my cards today I used Oliver and Amelia from the Buddies set!! Arent they just toooo CUTE??!!!!!
On Amelia the flowers are made with papers, and brads for the centers.
for Oliver, I just used the regular flowers, and branches! I think he is just way tooo CUTE!!!! The sentiment is also from the same set!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Tomorrow you will hear more about that from Jessica and be given instructions on how you can enter this card drive and put a smile on the faces of not only a sick child, but hopefully their parents, siblings, and all who are affected by all of the heartbreaking illnesses out there. We have been wanting to do this for some time and I'm really happy about it; can't wait to see how many cards we can collect for this wonderful cause!
