Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, with one more Anya Reboot kit card to share before I take a break from it for some other new cuties who are waiting to get inked up. As you can see, this time around I created an updated version of the pretty Princess Anya that originally released back in 2010. Back then, I altered Anya a bit by wiping away her closed eyes before stamping and drawing in open eyes instead. The new card leaves her as-is with her lovely lashes fluttering away. My first card relied on patterned paper to add the castle and critters to the over-all scene but this time around I used a mix of clear and digital stamps to do the same thing.

Amy here, with yet another Anya Reboot kit card to share. This time when I searched my old blog posts I found a card I made in 2010 using the original Cowgirl Anya. I remember being so happy with it because I had the perfect patterned paper to create a fun scene for this ropin' and ridin' cowgirl. Now a days I don't have to rely on pretty papers to help me create stories with my stamped characters, instead I use my Copic markers to color them in by hand.

Amy here, and I'm back with another Anya Reboot kit card to share today. Once again I dug way back into my blog archives and this time I found a card that I made in 2010 using the original Fleur Anya. It's safe to say that Fleur Anya has a permanent spot in my top 10 Anyas list so I was excited to ink up this new version of her.

Amy here, and it's not much of a secret that I've been a long time TGF fan. I fell in love with The Greeting Farm characters back in 2009, just after the name changed from Pink Poison. Flutter Anya was one of the very first red rubber stamps that got me hooked on stamping, coloring and card making, and oh my, what a crafty adventure it has been! I will admit that there aren't many TGF stamps missing from my collection so when the big Anya Reboot kit recently went up for pre-order, I didn't think I would need it. That all changed when I saw that the original characters included in the kit had been updated with slightly different looks here and there.

Amy here, and I've got one more mermaid card to share before MerMay comes to an end. This time around I printed out the super adorable Leela MerBean because it's hard to beat the cuteness of a Bean. I surrounded Leela with a bunch of accessory images from the Little Mermaids and Minkie Mermaids clear sets to help create a scene for her to live in. I especially wanted to get the castle off in the distance, since she must be royalty with that coral crown on her head.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and I want to know who else is celebrating MerMay by creating fun and fin-tastic mermaid cards? I went straight to the Cheeky Mermaids clear set for my card today because I love the vintage look of this little beauty in particular. I also grabbed the big, bold sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses clear set and the small fish and starfish from the Little Mermaids clear set to complete this under-the-sea world that Cheeky is living in.

Amy here, and with this card I've finally made it through all of the stamps in the original Anya Combo kit... yeah! I tend to create cards for the current season so the first Anyas to get inked up were the ones dressed for cooler weather. As winter progressed into spring, short sleeves and dresses showed up more until all I had left was this sassy Anya with her halter top and shorts... talk about perfect timing! Now that the sun is out it is time for this Anya to shine.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and I bet you were expecting to see the final Anya from the original Anya Combo kit from me today. Well, she got bumped to my next blog post because of the surprise release of this beautiful Goth Girl digital stamp set. She's a new addition to the Creeper Crew style of characters and I am always excited when we get another wide eyed Creeper cutie to create with. Goth Girl also reminds me of a certain dark character from a popular show, which gave me the perfect direction to take my scene building for this card.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and even though I've received the newest Anya Combo kit my crafting OCD won't let me move on until I get the last two Anyas from the original Anya Combo kit onto their own cards. To that end, I inked up this beautiful Anya with the head of fabulous curly hair for today's card. Even though I love her hair, it didn't leave a lot of room for scene building behind her on my A2 sized card so I had to get creative.
