I can see CLEARLY now at TGF!!

It's gonna be a BRIGHT and SUNSHINY day for sure at The Greeting Farm!  Hooray!

Today is the day- two new sets are available for purchase as we are proud to debut our new line of CLEAR stamps!

Here is my project using the My Fairy Princess set:

I created a page in my art journal - I'm actually playing catch up in the He-ART Journaling class that TGF is holding. I'm a couple weeks behind but that is the beauty of art journaling, it happens on your own time. Any time you feel like it, you can go back to the challenge for that week and gain new inspiration. I love that. This page came together in the matter of a day. Because of all the different layers of paint, I usually have to leave it and let it dry before moving to the next layer, sometimes I'm really good and I'm working on another card in the meantime! haha During the move, I came across this mishmash of chipboard letters I got YEARS ago....I figured it's time to put them to use so I scattered them on my desk and added them on this page. Then, because I know fellow teamie and TGF Coordinator Jess has TONS of great quotes on her pinterest page, I went there and this quote hit me square in the heart! Our move, the circumstances around it, the short sale of our house, etc. I would find myself sometimes thinking, if only....well, that's no place to be and so I loved this quote and will come back to this page whenever I need to be reminded!!! I printed the quote on regular printer paper and tore it off. I adhered to my page using Helmar Decoupage! I also used it to adhere the little strips of torn sassafras DP.

I know some of you are curious about the size of the fairy set so I took a pic to compare the retired rubber fairy to the one I used on this page:

They are perfectly mini sized!!!


And I saw other comments about clear stamp quality - well I've got to say, I'm a  bit of a clear stamp snob myself! *giggle* And these are no exception - they are the quality you've come to love and expect from TGF. A tip that I use on ALL my clear stamps is this:

All I do is take an art eraser like the one in the 1st picture and rub it across the stamp like the 2nd picture. What this does is take off any remaining residue that remains when the stamp has been made. If you do this, you will have a perfectly stamped image the first time every time! :D

We are SO excited to begin today's hop combining some TGF 'alum' with our Farmers!   Be sure to check out the TGF BLOG for a complete list of links, as one lucky winner will receive BOTH sets just for commenting and participating in the hop!  And just in case you get lost along the way in all of the excitement that is CLEARLY mounting...here is the list:
