As for my special project, I just had to ink up Birthday Boy Ian - how cute is he with his little banner? I love banners and wanted to give it that true texture of a fabric banner so I stamped it on some twill ribbon I had and then cut it out. I adhered it to the image using Helmar 450 Quick Dry. My project is certainly CLEAN and SIMPLE for me! I stamped Blush Hearts to create a background on the Vintage Cream Cardstock from PTI. I created the Happy Birthday sentiment by combining two different sets and only inking the words I wanted to use. Working with limited supplies has been challenging but fun to push myself to think outside my normal creativity. Hopefully, though, by the time this post is live, I'll be comfortably settled in my NEW crafty room. :D
Hope you enjoy! As for today's event, there are THREE NEW RELEASES and since we're feelin' generous on our birthday, we are giving away THREE August Release Prize Packs today (exclusive digi not included :) just for hopping with our Farmers and coming BACK to the TGF Blog to wish our little Farm a happy day!
