Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and the big Coffee Bean stamp kit arrived at my place recently so you know I had to ink up one of those cuties right away. There are so many sweet little Beans included but it was this adorable tot with her backwards cap and grande frappuccino, that had just the summer vibe I was looking for.

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, 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.

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.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and I am still working my way through the big Anya Combo kit. With the completion of this card I've only got two more to go. Speaking of today's card, this particular Anya has a braided hair-do that I just think is so cute. I'm actually tempted to do a hair cut and head swap with her in the future to really show off that braid. For now though, Anya is here in all her glory, showing off her collection of cacti and succulents thanks to the Potted Plants clear set.

Hello fellow Farmers!

Amy here, and I hope you are still enjoying the big Anya Combo kit because I sure am. My goal is to get all eight of the cuties onto their own cards before the new Anya mystery kit arrives some time next month. I've only got three Anyas left to go, it might be close but I think I can do it. As for today's card, this pig-tailed Anya with her cozy sweater looked to me like she would be enjoying a cold spring day indoors.
