Kristy was here!

My name is Kristy....and it has been 5 months since my last Blog post!!

2011-10-06T23:36:00.001+11:00

Im back! I cant believe it has been 5 months since I last Blogged!! WOW. So I have decided to return and get back to blogging only difference now is it wont always be crafty stuff, I will blog pics and about life in general. I Have been going through some...life changing moments lately...I dont really know what else to call it?? Im going to use the 3 pics below to try and explain where my head space has been the past half a year.

So after 12 years together and almost 9 years of marriage my husband and I have separated. We have 3 beautiful children together who we are trying to make this as easy a transition as possible. I recently moved out of the family home and got a gorgeous little house for me and my kids. It has been a difficult time with lots of negativeness that I have tried to block out with help from some REALLY truly amazing friends...one you all know and I want to mention because one night when I rang her bawling and felt so alone...like I had no one to cry to {as my Mumma is no longer alive :( } she got in her car late at night and drove 2 hours to come hop in bed and cuddle me even though her hubby had plans the following morning which meant she had to leave early she still came. Now that is an amazing TRUE friend who was and is always there for me, big super dooper hugs and kisses to my bestie Kellie Winnell.

On a happier note, Kell and I are off on a cruise in 2 weeks for 10 days cruising the south pacific!!! Cant wait! I will definitely be blogging pics from our cruise journey heheh.

So apart from the above not much else has changed....Im still a princess hahah and now that I have cut back my hours at work to be home when the kids finish school I will hopefully have some more crafting and blogging time too./

I MADE A CARD!!!!!!!!!

2011-05-01T13:50:00.000+10:00

Well actually i made this....um....4 or 5 weeks ago I think heheh. It was supposed to be my hop card for the Tickled Pink Previews...but silly me never took the pic until today! I know slack but boy have I had A LOT going on! So anyway better late than never.

I also have Lil Pinkette August coloured up from a few weeks ago lol, just need to make the time to add her to a card. I had a lovely visit from my bestie Kellie Waffle Winnell lastnight, she drove all the way to my place so we could go out for Thai...YUMMY. Isnt she the greatest!

Belle by Lesley Pearse

2011-03-21T23:01:00.004+11:00

Hiya! I just really wanted to share with you a book I recently downloaded on my Kindle & finished reading called "Belle" by Lesley Pearse! This was one of those books you start reading and can not put down!!. I especially love a book that has such a strong female character like Belle, she is such a fighter. It was my first book I have read of Lesley's and cant wait to read more of her books. Here is the Book description from Amazon.

"London 1910 Fifteen year-old Belle has lived in a brothel in Seven Dials all her life, with no understanding of what happens in the rooms upstairs. But her innocence is shattered when she witnesses the murder of one of the girls and, subsequently snatched from the streets by the killer, she is sold into prostitution in Paris. No longer mistress of her own fate, Belle is blown across the globe to sensuous New Orleans where she comes of age and learns to enjoy life as a courtesan. Yet thoughts of home and the knowledge her status as golden girl cannot last compel her to break out of her gilded cage.But Belle finds escaping tougher than she imagined, for her life is threatened by desperate men who crave her beauty and attention. Armed only with resourcefulness and spirit, she has a long and dangerous journey ahead of her.Will courage be enough to sustain her? Can she make it back to her family and friends and find her chance at true happiness?Number One bestseller Lesley Pearse has created in Belle a heroine for our times: a strong woman who stands up for right in a world turned bad."

Amazon Hard Cover: $27.93

Amazon Kindle: $14.01

I highly reccomend this book and give it ***** 5 stars out of 5!!

I am currently reading Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian for my bookclub Im a member of, why dont you head over to The chic-lits bookclub blog and join us for our discussions! Each month we read and review a new book! You can check out the list of books we have upcoming on our Chic-lit blog.

One of the things I love so much about crafting and blogging is the caring and sharing nature of the people involved. However, recently there has been a shocking case of someone out there in cyberspace removing watermarks from copyright digital images and posting them on a blog and then people taking advantage of that and using the images and sharing with others!. Once this was brought to the various well known artist's attention these images were removed from the blog and the person responsible has been reported. But now the stolen images have been re-posted elsewhere. There is no other word for this than THEFT!

Theft is increasingly becoming a problem for any artist trying to make a living from digital images and for ALL our sakes we NEED to find a solution! Talented and respected artist Mo Manning tried to set up a "stamp out stamp thieves" campaign over a year ago and got lots of support from both fans and stamp companies. The thefts seemed to slow down so unfortunately the campaign did too.

But now we NEED YOU to check it out and help if you can!

The site is HERE

Let's make this a happy and fair place for artists and crafter's alike!Also, please pass the link along to any "pros" artists, stamp companies or shopkeepers who might like to join.

GUESS WHAT??!!!??!!?!

2011-01-05T19:00:00.049+11:00

Hey Farm Friends!

As you can tell by now, there are some SUPER exciting happenings on the Farm this week! First of all, as you may have seen on Friday, we are thrilled to welcome NAOUAL du MORTIER as our December Guest for The Greeting Farm, and are also giddy with excitement to welcome SHERI GILSON to Team Anya as our Guest for the Month of December! These lovely ladies have jumped right into previews and we're thrilled to have them along for the ride!
Before we get started I just wanted to say Farewell to our lovely November Guest Carisa! You have been such a fun guest this month.

It's been a while since we've had a sentiment-only set here on the Farm, and after MANY requests by all of you out there in blog-land, we are previewing a BRAND NEW SENTIMENT set today, "Because of You". This whimsical and fun-fonted set comes complete with that feeling of warm-fuzzies.

To show you just how adorable these new sentiments are, we've decided to show you some preview projects today using ONLY a sentiment as the focal point. Be sure to check out the TGF Blog AND the Club Anya & Friends blog as well for some GREAT ideas and heartfelt hugs :) We are casing Alice Wertz this week, you can see the card we are casing here!

For my first card which is casing Alice I have used Amelia from the new Fuzzy Wuzzy O/A set {available Dec 1st} and I have used the sentiment "you Twinkle more than stars" which I think goes perfect with her dont you?!?!

For my next card, I wanted to do a sentiment only card and used the Sentiment...which I think is my fav in the set..."you're the Rainbow after the storm" I have been having fun creating backgrounds with my distress inks and decided to create a beautiful rainbow colours for this sentiment card! I then spritzed it ALL over with Vanilla smooch spritz which u can see in my close up pic.

Thanks for stopping by today, and oh...there's ONE more little thing. ONE of the DT members (is it a Farmer? Guest Designer? Team Anya member? hmmmm....) has a "Because of You" set hidden on their blog today! Be sure to stop by and see their beautiful projects and ONE lucky winner will be announced tomorrow during our "HOPPIN' into the HOLIDAYS" Blog Hop, beginning at 7pm CST on the TGF Blog!

{{{Please scroll down for my TPS christmas Blog hop card}}}

I have been so busy with previews lately that lastnight I wanted to make a card just because and enter some challenges. I just recently ordered some WOJ stamps from 7 kids college fund and have been dying to play with them.
I have used the GORGEOUS Melinda I think she is from the Guardian angel range of WOJ stamps. I have used this fabulous sketch below from the WOJ challenge blog and the challenge over at 7 kids colllege fund challenge blog is to use no traditional xmas colours.

I used last years Kaiserkraft xmas papers, I love that they are non traditonal colours and oh so pretty! The sentiment is from Tickled Pink Stamps I actually cut just the merry part out its normally says merry christmas. I used my distress inks to colour Melinda, and sprayed the whole card with Vanilla smooch shimmer.
Hope your all having a great weekend xx

Happy hump day!!! Whoot whoot!! And how exciting that I get to bring you this weeks "Watcha tootin about Wednesday with Club Anya & Friends"!! Now be kind, Im not a tooting kinda girl. But since so many people comment on my distressing etc, I thought why not toot about that!?!

This is the tools I use for my distressingBefore Shot of my dp

After shot

using the paper distressing tool around each edge, you can distress as little or as much as u like depending on the effect you want.

I have used at SU one, but its the same as Tim Holtz distressing tool.Before shot

using Miss Anya from Miss Anya Lounge set
After shot
distressing with Antique linen Distress ink and the Tim Holtz tool {you could also just use a sponge to distress ink}, I dip it in the ink pad and rub it around the endges of my paper.
Then I slightly distress with the edge distressing tool too.

And here is the finished card! As u can see I distress every layer of paper I put onto my cards :)I hope you enjoyed my toot, Im sure most of you know what I have shown, but for those who dont, I hope it was helpful.

NOW onto the challenge! Your mission/challenge is to create a card and have either paper or ink distressing on your card/project....or hey if you like you can do both like I do. You have until Tuesday 5pm cst to have your cards loaded to the Galleria!! I cant wait to see all your distressing :) And of course one lucky winner will receive a single of their choice...how awesome is that!!
