The Greeting Farm: Hello Gorgeous!

Happy Thursday everyone! Over the new few days, I'll be showcasing projects using the new stamps from The Greeting Farm's November Release. This month, there are 3 fabulous sets featuring mini images to decorate your planners/journals. However, they can be used for so much more!! While the shop is currently sold out of the three sets, have no fear...Marie will replenish the supply by next week. Yay! There are also a few sets still available at 7 Kids Crafting Supply Store.

This set is called Hello Gorgeous, which also has its own set of dies (sold separately):


I'm usually a cardmaker, so making a journal page is so out of my comfort zone, but I decided to push myself and try it! I LOVE looking at journal inspiration on Facebook and Instagram, but it's definitely not easy to make plain journal pages look cute. I give those ladies major props!


I used some floral washi tape for the top and bottom border of my page. I stamped the images on Cryogen cardstock, colored them with Copics, and then cut them out using the coordinating dies. I cut strips of cardstock to journal on just to add some more color. I'm telling you I was struggling to add some color, LOL!


All of these will be back in the shop very soon! Until then, be sure to join in on The Greeting Farm Blog Hop for your chance to win these cuties for your very own collection. But hurry!! You only have until this Saturday 12pm (CST) to visit all the designers' blogs and leave a comment.

Hugs,
Rosie
