TGF Blog Hop

**Don't forget to check out the Verve Blog Hop one post below**

Happy 2nd Birthday to The Greeting Farm. I thought it would be fun to join in the celebration with such a fun company. I'm really digging their latest line with the Oliver and Amelia stamps and am hoping to get some as soon as my pocketbook allows me to.

The image I used for this hop is Prince Ian as I have it in their digi line (as I do most of the TGF image I have). I think he is so cute and have been wanting to use him in a card for a while now. I stamped different PTI text stamps on the background of the blue scraps for a watermark look. For a regal look I then embossed the edges with silver (a little bling without the glitter). I did keep the color monochromatic and was inspired from the classic Disney princes.

The card itself will be going to a very special little boy: my oldest son. He loves getting the mail with me and has reached an age where he always asks if there is any mail for him. He takes catalogs or form letters and gets so excited and starts "reading" them like his mommy and daddy. I think it's time for him to get some real mail and he is one of my princes.



To find out where to go next be sure to go back to TGF's blog for the hopping order.

Ok, I'm a dumby. I thought that said pirate and I thought it was kind of a loose interpretation of a pirate. Sorry, it's been a long day. Your PRINCE is very cute and again, great for kids!
