I {heart} stamps!!!

Is it really Wednesday already???

I'm not complaining, lol, but the week and the month sure is flying by pretty quick!!! Procrastination is not my friend, I am still trying to end that relationship! but at least I got a few extra minutes of sleep last night! Neighbors where quiet, yay! Now, if only I can stick to a bedtime-time! Do you have a set time when you say it's just time to get some rest/sleep? I always just keep going until I can't anymore, but this ol' lady just can't do that anymore, lol! 

Hmmm, I do tend to blab too much when I start a post, don't I? 

hee, hee!!! 

It's time for The Greeting Farm's Retro-Fresh Monthly Challenge!!! 

This month's theme is: 

"Lucky in Love" 

Just remember, you have to use a TGF stamp/image that is 6 months old or older ;) 

I forgot, and used one of the newer stamps, lol! and then reached for another new stamp 2 more times! geesh! I finally found sweet "Stamping Anya" and remembered that I've only used her once! Can you believe that?! So here she is :) 

I just noticed that "Stamping Anya" is on clearance right now!!! 

and she's a definite must have ;) 

You have all month to play along!!! 

Check out what the DT has created too :)

Happy Snowman Tags :)

It's Wednesday!!!
It's also my big boys 8th birthday!!! and hubs day off!!!
So while our kiddos are in school, we're off to try to finish off our holiday to-do list!!!
And then after school, we will be taking them to go see Santa, and then big boy's choice of either the Disney Store or Build-a-Bear, and then his fave spot to eat :)  Fun!!!

And since it's the FIRST Wednesday of the month! It also means that it's time for another
Retro-Fresh Challenge at The Greeting Farm Challenge Blog!!! 
Retro-Fresh is when we get to dust off our older Greeting Farm stamps (at least 6months old or older) and play along with a challenge; and this month's challenge is to create a TAG(s)!!! 
AND, you have ALL month long to complete the challenge! Yay!!! 

I pulled out my "Keep Cozy" stamp set and old Greeting Farm Christmas DP to create a few holiday tags... which have disappeared onto our Christmas tree! lol! I wonder who stuck them on there ;) 

I had so much fun with this girly color combo!
and yet, the snow man makes it not so girly if I need an extra tag for something boy-ish ;)

Thanks so much for passing by today!!!
Be sure to check out the rest of the DT and see their amazing creations too!!!

Just as long as you use a TGF stamp and something with an animal on it, it will qualify ;) 

Here's a bit of info for this month's RETRO-Fresh Challenge:  

- RETRO-Fresh Challenges will be on the 2nd Wednesday of every month.

- You MUST use a TGF Stamp that is at least or OVER 6 months old!!! 

For a list of old/new stamps, please visit our SCS page. 

(The list isn't complete yet and it does NOT include digis yet, so please be patient as TGF goes through their archives and continues to add onto the list, thank you!)

For this challenge, I just knew that I haaad to use these 2 images that my sweet friend, Toni, sent to me a while ago! How sad is it that it this is the first time that I am inking these two lovies up!

Old stamps, but new to me! Love how that worked out :) 

Here's "Sheriff Ian" (retired?) and "Wild West Anya"... 

I had a ton of fun paper piecing these two cuties! 

(Please click on pics to see more details, thanks!)

and yes, these are old TGF designer papers :) 

Hording does come in handy sometimes! 

My animal is the little ol' horse on there ;)

It's time to dust off some of those oldies and get to playing!!!
