Four hours left to vote.....

It is absolutely nail biting stuff.  The entries by each team this week are outstanding - the details, colours, co-ordination - all breathtaking stuff.  Of course the Dream Team entry is outstanding (but I am totally biased!!!) - Kathy did a spectacular job.... thanks Kathy.  Fika created an amazing project too, which I am sure we will get to share when this is all over.

Only 4 hours left to vote - so if you have missed the voting up to now... please stop by here and vote for the Dream Team (no registering/galleries etc required).  

THANKS SO MUCH ..... we really appreciate your support.

The voting is now open... just click here to vote ... go Dream Team!.  Thanks so much for your votes to date, we really appreciate them.

SUNDAY and the FINAL is finally here!

Well it's been quite a wait since Wednesday but Sunday is finally here which means the last day of the Royal Battle on The Greeting Farm.

This week's challenge was to make a co-ordinating card/project for a boy and a girl and this is what the amazing and talented Kathy supported by her cheerleading "Dream Team" created. 

Aren't they just amazing?  Click HERE to VOTE - only one vote per person this week and voting is ONLY OPEN TODAY for 24 HOURS.

The details are amazing, glossy shoes, glossy headlights, eyeshadow, texture on the tyres... simply stunning (photo below).

It has been an amazing journey with Kathy and Fika and I would like to share our projects since the beginning (only 5 weeks ago... but seems much longer).

Week One - Colour Challenge (completed by me!)

 Week 2 - create an easel card (challenge completed by Fika)

Week 3 - create a Layout (challenge complete by Kathy)

 Week 4 - Candy packaging (challenge completed by me)

and Week Five (the final week) is at the top of this post.   What an amazing journey.  As I said at the start of this ... this is called "The Dream Team"... because only in my dreams did I ever imagine to be part of a Team with the super talented ladies - Kathy & Fika.

Voting will be open for 24 hours from the time the post goes live and you only VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE ENTRY .... ONE VOTE ONLY this week.  Click HERE to vote.

I wanted to post this as I know not everyone checks their blogs/emails etc at the weekend, but reckoned I would post one last time about the Royal Battle.  We are at the closing stages of the battle ....  it is down to 6 teams...... the challenge this week is to create a his and her project (co-ordinating).

We would LOVE your vote - so click here to pop over to cast your vote (poll will open Sunday for 24 hours from the time it is made live).  Thanks from the Dream Team - Kathy, Fika and me. 

Now for a card share.  Made this for this month's Hero Arts Challenge - Mother's Day and Home. 

I used the Hero Arts digital kit - Poetic Petals and a sentiment from TLcCreations.  This was a freebie saying/sentiment and be sure to check out their blog/site where they do wonderful word art on a weekly basis.

I am loving my new curved rectangle die cuts and added a little fimo button which I made.  The sentiment reads dan.de.li.on (yellow, golden annoying weed, when picked by a child, is all mom needs.)  Whilst I realise this flower was suppose to be a daisy and not a dandelion I think it holds a striking resemblence to a dandelion.  I added some stickles too... for that extra little bit of sparkle.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and I will post our entry to the Royal Battle in my post tomorrow.  Many many thanks for all your well wishes and support to date.

Get Well Soon

Hope you can see the shine in the photo above... harder to capture than you would think!  I cropped out my fingers!!.  Wanted to make it "jar" like!  I used a good ol' dollop of glossy accents to create the look.

Supplies:  Digital image by Digistamp Boutique, Bazzill dotted swiss cardstock, 

Papermania textured cardstock, copics and glossy accents.

I just adore this digi image from Digistamp Boutique.  It is called... "caught a bug" - it was a freebie a few months ago... they very kindly do freebies each month.  I just think this is a perfect get well card for a smallie and you can colour the bugs any colour you want.  The digi comes with the sentiment too - which is great.

Thanks for stopping by today and I always love reading each and every comment you leave.  Hope you have a wonderful day... the countdown to the Royal Battle Finale is ticking!....

Paperplay - "don't use any patterned paper!"

Over on Paperplay this week the challenge is set by Evonne.  It is - "no patterned paper to be used".  It is very kindly sponsored by Whiff of Joy.

And here is what I came up with.... using no patterned paper!.

Evonne did say that we could use cardstock - and that is what I have done.  Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock cut with my large scalloped circles.  The image is a digital image by Heather Ellis called Pure Innocence available here.  I added glossy accents to her wellies and to the heart on the watering can.  I then added some ribbon flowers that I had in my stash - they are two tones of pink with a touch of white.

Thanks so much for peeking and I hope that you will play along.

We are through!!! Roll on the Final Week

Well everyone, great news over the Greeting Farm blog this morning..... the Dream Team is through to the Final Round of the Royal Battle..... woohoo... I am soooo delighted.  Delighted that so many people liked my candy packaging (photo above).  Thank you to everyone who voted for us... we REALLY appreciate it.

The competition has changed this week - voting will only be on Sunday 25th April (THIS COMING SUNDAY) and it will be a poll on the side of the blog - so you only have one vote and voting will open and close on the same day.

Thankfully this week it is Kathy or Fika's turn to make the challenge card/project which is a co-ordinating project - one for a girl and one for a boy.

Remember this photo?  Just wanted to let you know that there are still 7 days left to enter the Mami Doodles Colour Challenge.  Elisa has outlined that you don't have to use her digis or any digis if you don't want - just create a layout, card, project as long as it uses the colours for the challenge.  Full details of the challenge are here. 

She REALLY wants to do some giveaways this week - so if you leave a comment here with a suggestion for a new image you will also be in with a chance to win.  Don't you just love the chance to win some goodies.  Thanks Elisa.  Don't forget to check out her blog on Thursday for her new digi stamp.


Thanks for your support and thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you have a blessed day.
