CLUB ANYA & FRIENDS Preview #2 & WCW

Hello and welcome to day two of our previews for Club Anya & Friends and The Greeting Farm. We are combining our previews today with our last WCW sketch for this month. Our sketch is by my precious friend Jessica. Unfortunately, as I was doing my preview cards a couple of weeks early I totally forgot about using her sketch for today. So …… please forgive this dingbat for not using the awesome sketch we were provided with. I know you will love the sketch and I hope you can play along with us.

Our new set today is another Oliver & Amelia set called Journey. Wait until you see the cuteness of these images. Here is my card using Amelia from the set and Jess’s sketch.

Isn’t she just the cutest thing sitting there on her luggage? To see more of Amelia and her friend Oliver please check out the blogs of my teammates.

Club Anya & Friends – Day 3 Preview

Hello my friends. I am jumping with excitement as I get ready to show you our last preview for CA&F today. This is by far my fav this month and right there on the top of my list of everything Marie has done that are my favs. Today we are showing you a “wicked” Creeper girl and her name is Thursday. You might say she is Cuddle Anya’s older, badder sister, at least that’s what we think she looks like. You all know that none of Marie’s images can be bad in the mean sense of the way but this girl is totally “the bomb” in my book. Meet Thursday.

Oh yeah, what did I tell you. Isn’t she just a total “bad girl”????? I LOVE her and she was soooooo much fun to color. Don’t you just adore her hat, so much like Cuddle Anya’s? Well, of course I had to do her in bright colors (duhhhhh…) because that is the only way I can picture her. Outgoing, sassy and totally “the bomb”. LOL.

If you want to win her you know what you have to do. Leave a comment on all the DT member’s blogs because she is hidden on one and you have to find her. Is she going to go home with you? Find out tomorrow. Here’s the list of all the girls. Make sure you don’t miss any comments to find out where Thursday is.

• Jessica Diedrich
• Amy Young
• Kelly Booth
• Kim Costello
• Pam Varnell (me)
• Traci Porter
• Rachel Schneider (May Guest Designer)

We will also be announcing a SPECIAL contest that starts tomorrow too. Isn’t CA&F just awesome for all the fun things they do?I’ll see you back here tomorrow morning for more details about the FUN contest. Yay!!!

Pam

Here is my card using this sweetie pie.

Can I just tell you peeps that this set is on the top of my fav list? She is so cute and sassy and Oliver is so sweet I just want to pinch his cheeks off. LOL.

Welcome back to my blog this gorgeous Wednesday morning. Are you ready for some awesomeness from Club Anya & Friends? We have a preview of another stamp that was a digi that you have been wanting to have made into rubber? Guess who? Step over Edward, here is your soul mate Bella, I mean Camille.Yes, Camille will be available in rubber on March 1st. Woohoo!!! I love Camille. Here is my card.

We are combining this preview with our Wild Card Wednesday challenge. Our challenge today is "Embossing". Embossing of any kind will work. I ALWAYS emboss my images that I stamp and also all of my sentiments so this was an easy challenge for me. I stamped both the main image and the sentiment with Black Brilliance ink and embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder. I really like the way this makes your image stand out. Check out the CA&F blog for the officials rules for today's challenge.
