Mindy Terasawa's Sweet Lemon Kit

Hey friends!  Stopping by real quick to share what I created using the new (and free!) Sweet Lemon papers and stickers pack from Mindy. I thought it was such a cute set and loved how my little pillow box with handle came out!  Remember you can get her free kit here.  Make sure to send her some love if you do download it!

Believe in Yourself by Mindy Terasawa AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Hello!  Today is the day you can purchase Mindy's Believe in Yourself kit here go now as it is 20% off this weekend!  In honor of her new kit, I decided to create a digi layout!  This layout is from my trip last fall to the UK.  My husband had some meetings there so I tagged along and make it a vacation before he started his new job.  As always I love the UK!  This is my third time visiting and I could never get tired of it.  There is so much to explore and do!  For this layout, our British friends advised us to visit the quaint town of Castle Combe!  I was so happy we did, especially since I was the only female of four men and I really didn't think they would want to go but so happy they did!  Anyhow, here's my layout...thanks for stopping by and please visit Mindy's store, she will be updating her it often!

Disclaimer:  There are a few items in this layout that is not from Mindy's kit.  The splotches and Polaroid frame is from Paislee Press, forgot which kit it's from, I basically looked through my folders and picked a few items that went well with the LO.

Surprise! New TGF kit and Blog Hop!

Yeay, The Greeting Farm has a new kit - Hoppy Easter!  This kit is a mini kit with an exclusive digital stamp – Easter Bean!  Woohoo!  (^_^)   Just a little info regarding this kit and our previous Print and Cut kits.  You do not actually need an electronic cutting machine.  But of course you know having one is easier but not necessary.   We have set up all the files in our kits to accommodate those that do have one and those that do not.   The Hoppy Easter kit contains:  4 -3×4 journal and filler cards, 2 -6×4 filler and journal card, 20 – elements and one EXCLUSIVE digital stamp!

Not only do we have a new mini kit, but we also have a new Team!  Design Team that is...we are no longer a "guest"!  Woohoo!  Check out The Greeting Farm blog for more info and an introduction to the team.

Our task for this week was to create one Daily Life page and card.  Here are my take on it:

Since I don't have kids, I decided to use the kit for a spring page.  It's pretty versatile and as you can see in one of my 6x4 cards, there's an Easter egg shaped journal section...but really it goes with anything.  

For my card, I wanted to make an easel card, I used Easter Bean and the cute bunny from the kit.  Got the post-it from Target's dollar section a few years back...  If you didn't know Marie (owner/designer of TGF) created some for Target a couple of years ago.  I think I may have a few but can't seem to find them right now.

Hope you were able to take some inspiration out of my projects and my fellow DT.  Don't forget we are having a Blog Hop on The Greeting Farm blog.  You must visit all DT's blogs, comment on each and then go back to The Greeting Farm's blog to let us know you've done it.  All entries must be done before 11:30 PST on Mar 18.   One lucky commenter will be selected at random to win the Hoppy Easter kit on Mar 19.  Good luck!

More Inspirations Using TGF's Berry Sweet Print and Cut and Berry Sweet Daily Life Kits

Hello Everyone!  Hoping everyone had an awesome Valentine's day/weekend!  Here at my house, we had a nice and quiet dinner with a Netflix move and on Saturday we celebrated my FIL's 84th birthday!

Speaking of Valentine's day, we at the Farm created a few inspiration for you.  This time we had no theme but to just create whatever our little hearts desired (^_^)  I made some 3x4 cards of each of the dogs for dh and a card with the both of them to give to the nieces since we'd be seeing them for my FIL's bday.  Check them out:

I of course created them digitally because well, I did these last minute as usual I was late! LOL!  I then printed them out and created matching envelopes.

For my next project I created a traditional layout 

I used both the Berry Sweet Print and Cut and the Berry Sweet Life Daily Life kits.   I used the banner, butterfly, cutie patootie, forever and you're cute from the BSPC.  All the journal cards from BSDL kit.  I also used the TGF's Snowflake Die which I absolutely love!

Ok, it's your turn!  TGF wants to see what you created using one or both of the kits!  One lucky person will be selected at random to receive their choice of an in-stock Single Rubber Stamp or a 4x6 set!  So please show us!

And before I end this blog post, please check out my fellow Guest DT's  Corinne and Jerodelle's work from even more inspiration!

TGF Surprise Release!!

I am super excited to debut the follow up to the Berry Sweet Cut and Print Kit with the Berry Sweet Daily Life Kit! This kit features more daily life type files, like journal cards, cut tags and labels that still features our beloved sweet and cute TGF style!  The set consists of 12 - 3x4 cards, 4 - 6x4 cards, 2 cut tags, 11 labels and 16 ephemera's. This kit is not exclusive to scrappers alone.  When this line was created, it was created for card makers, scrappers, daily documenters, basically an all around versatile kit!   Pair it with the Berry Sweet Cut and file kit and there is not limit to how you can use it!

To give this "Berry Sweet" kit the proper welcome that it deserves, and to celebrate that we are branching out into something NEW, The Greeting Farm is PROUD to introduce an amazing new team of Guest Designers, please welcome:

Corinne Mercado

Jerodelle Trinidad

Claudette (that's me!)

Here are a couple of my projects:

 Decided to use Style Anya for this card, I thought it went well with the "Call Me" sentiment and I wanted to show you guys you can use any of the TGF stamps to go with this line. 

And finally, I decided to do a Valentine favor, after all, this is a Valentine kit (^_~)  I decided to do a print and cut on Berry Sweet Anya because, well, I was super tired and too lazy to piece it all together.  And that folks is the beauty of this kit.  You can choose to put all it piece by piece or you can do a print and cut.  Not only that, you can recolor these images to suit your needs! FTW (For the Win)!

Please stop by the blogs of these talented ladies to welcome them to the Farm and also be sure to stop by the TGF Blog today to view their other projects and a chance to WIN the "Berry Sweet Daily Document" kit!!!

New Mindy Terasawa Kits

Belated Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Can you believe how fast the holidays are coming and going? My goodness, it feels like only yesterday we celebrated Christmas 2011! Are you guys all ready for it?  I can actually say (proudly) that I am truly ready! I lagged last year and it cost me dearly.  So this year I did all my shopping early, did a lot of personalized gifts and I'm happy to report I only have a couple of gifts left to buy.  Everything is all wrapped and the tree is going up tomorrow!  Woohoo for me! haha!  Sorry if I sound like I'm bragging but to be honest, I'm never good at being on time with gifts, cards and getting my act together especially during the holidays.  So I thought why not pat myself on the back? LOL!

So I'd like to enable help you start early...  Mindy's created some Christmas goodies available at DD.  These kits are super cute (as always!) and you can do tons with these!  I had planned on making some samples so I can post but as usual something came up.  I hope to be able to put something together this weekend or next week and post it on my blog for some inspiration.  But for now, I will show you what is new...

{Silly Lil' Christmas} Kit is super cute!

Coordinating stickers to go with the kit.

 And these stickers are my personal favorite! I asked her to

create these for my Cookie Exchange happening next weekend 

and I think she did an outstanding job as usual.  Will 

share my invites soon, so check back.

 

And last but not least, aren't these card templates 

gorgeous? I'll see about getting a copy to create some samples.

Again check back as I will be using her papers and elements on my December Daily 2012. 

Oh and thanks for the recipes, you still have time to invite some friends to participate in the giveaway!

Mindy's Latest...

Hi all!  Just wanted to share Mindy's latest Kit.

Look how adorable this kit is!

 

Here's another Halloween favor for those that don't have time to make anything fancy.  All you do is print, cut and add to a 4x6 baggie (you can resize it to fit whatever baggie you have...beauty of digital).

 All of which you can purchase here.  Stay tune as I may be giving one lucky commenter a copy of the  treat toppers!

Cutesy Critter Halloween favor boxes

Wow, blogging two days in a row! Wanted to get these done early for Mindy cause I know I won't have that much time come Halloween.  I'm exhausted and I don't really want to write too much.  I am the worst writer ever and when I'm tired it's even worse (if you can imagine).  So without further ado, here are two of the three boxes I made.  I may make one or two more. 

I created these favor boxes where you can either insert a photo or cut out a window.  I know the candies doesn't go well with the Halloween theme but I am NOT buying any Halloween candies yet!  I was tempted since Target has all the Halloween stuff out already!  But I was good and I resisted (^o^)☺

If you have any questions regarding these favor boxes, leave a comment or shoot me an email.  I'm not sure if/when Mindy will have them up at the store, but as soon as I find out I'll let ya'll know! 

Before I forget, I had a couple of comments and emails regarding my Pumpkin Anya.  She is an altered Anya.

Wishing everyone a great week!

Spring Drop Mini Kit by Mindy Terasawa

New kit from Mindy...it's so springy!  I just love the color!  Available at DD now!

For Cass

Made this card for my GOD Daughter Cass.  I owe her last years birthday pres, Christmas, 6th grade grad so I couldn't or didn't think it was appropriate to make her a card for all those occasion and decided to just make a universal card.  Call it lazy or procrastinating but I at least made her a card.  

As of right now, this little cutie is my favorite out of the Farm line!  I thinks she's so adorable and thought it would be perfect for Cass.  Since I see Fleur more Hawaiian than an Enchanted little cutie, I thought what a perfect card from me to her!  Blah, blah, blah, blah! haha!  I'm exhausted, it's well pass midnight and I have a long and early day tomorrow!  So without further ado here's the card (lifted the LO from the Artist behind the Farm)

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!  Aloha!

Howdy!

Feels like I haven't blogged in so long!  Ay yai yai!  I haven't had much of a break since my craft fair!  How the heck am I this busy?  I don't even have a 9 to 5 job!  LOL!  Anyhow, got back from CHA last Friday, dh had me take care of his stuff this past weekend since he's going on travel (which come to find out it may be canceled and I'm bummed that I couldn't go to a get together...boo!).  OK, enough of my crying!  LOL!  I haven't been feelin' all too well lately and my poor Roxy isn't either.  She just got spayed and she's a bit sensitive and needy.  So with that said, no creating for me!  And to top it all off, the in-laws are arriving...do I ever get a break?  LOL!  OK, ok...enough!  LOL!  I am previewing Mindy's latest kit called "Rock Angel"  which will be avail at DD on Sunday!!!  

The good thing about this kit is it's not just for Valentine's day! You can use it on anything! Lovin' it!!! And I know you will to!!

To Love Someone by Mindy Terasawa

Preview of Mindy's new kit "To Love Someone" avail at DD!  Run on over and pick it up!!

TGF LO #9

Today I am using the new kit by TGF called Sunny Glen. I think this kit was perfect for those fall LO's! Of course you can use this for anything but the papers reminded me of fall.

Once again my LO is of my precious Avery. I'm trying to make a book of him for me. All the other books I created were for my dh. I wanted to put all the feelings and memories I have of him and how him being gone has really affected me. OK, I'm not going to write about more or else my eyes will start tearing. (wah!) Again, thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget to check out the other DT girls:

A gift for Steph

As you're reading this I'm already in Japan. I'm probably just about to go to bed after a day of either walking around the base visiting my old stomping grounds or from a day of shopping offbase and dinner w/some of my dh's co-workers. Whatever I did, I'm sure I'll be exhausted! LOL! Anyhow, I have scheduled a post for today. I made this gift for my friend Stephanie. This bday present was late cause I had changed it several times. The movie is The Holiday which I love and an itune GC. Also decided to include a pack of gum (she's deathly allergic to chocolate,. I know, how sad is that?!), which I totally lifted from Joni! Joni made us a little gum holder for our Island social. I even lifted the saying cause to be honest, I have no creative brain cell left in me right now. Every day I was exhausted from running around taking care of last minute stuff before the trip. And for those that are wondering (as of typing this post (112409)) I have not packed! I know can we say procrastinator? At least I was able to throw in 3 loads of laundry! Woohoo! All right... back to the gift...here it is and as always thanks for stopping by!

Another CD Sleeve Post

Yes, I absolutely love making these! Especially since I'm giving some CD's away for Christmas! Here's another one I made for my dear friend who I will not name until she gets it! LOL! I think this is the last you'll see of these CD sleeves until I get back from Japan...we'll see.

Supplies used: Mindy Terasawa's I Believe papers, CCD stamp (I forgot what this is called), SU Sentiment stamp and punch used to punch it out and SU! CS Certanily Celery.

Yesterday's paper used was by Doodlebug and I don't know the name of it. Hope that helps!

OMG, you guys crack me up! I wasn't fishing for comments for my post. I mean, I appreciate all comments and emails, but really not big deal if you didn't comment. We are tryin' to motivate you to digi scrap. I notice when I post my LOs I don't get much comments, and was wondering if you have no interest at all in that style of scrapping. Also this will help me with my next digital scrapbooking class. So I do appreciate the comments on my work but it is not mandatory. LOL!

One more thing, you're only entered in the drawing IF you comment/email about the digital question. We are tryin' to promote digital kits/scrapping and we need ideas.

I Believe - Christmas Kit by Mindy Terasawa

It's 2:30 AM! I'm finally done with my craft fair projects!!! Finally! Right now I'm printing up some business cards and then I'm off to bed! Gotta wake up at 5! Yikes! Anyhow, here's Mindy's latest kit called I Believe (name by yours truly...LOL!). I believe it'll be available at Designer Digitals Sunday...I'll have to double check with Mindy. If I don't post by Sunday then I'm correct. If not I will make a note here on the blog!
