Summer is HERE!!

Hey everybody!

We are SO EXCITED over at The Greeting Farm...and ready to spread the SUNSHINE!

Why? Because SUNSHINE is the name of the newest 8 1/2x11 JUMBO KIT of rubber stamps being previewed today on the TGF Blog!

Just in time for summer, SUNSHINE is full of larger sized stamps, perfect for scrapbooking, cardmaking, or any papercrafting! And ONE LUCKY WINNER just might take one home after hoppin' around the Scrapbooking DT's blogs today!

The TGF Scrapbooking Team is also THRILLED to welcome LYNDA NIELSEN to our gang! You may recognize Lynda as one of our Gardeners and now she is back and ready to get scrappin'! Yay!

This week is a SKETCH challenge designed by my fellow SB team member Jacilynn:



I totally LOVE this sketch but had more than 3 pictures that I wanted to use... but that's the great thing about sketches- they just kick-start your creative juices and all your ideas come to life!

Summer has officially begun here in Arizona... we've surpassed the 100(F) degree mark a few days already and it's only going to get hotter! My sister pulled out the kiddie pool for my cutiepie nieces to play in. It was Emi's first time- think she enjoyed it?
