The Greeting Farm - Ms. Megan

Hi Friends!! How are you all doing? I hope you are all well! Well, summer is coming to a close and I feel I have not accomplished any of the goals I have set for myself as far as crafting. That's okay, there's always next summer! LOL!

I recently bought this cute TGF stamp called "Ms. Megan". Isn't she sassy or what? Look at her hand on her hip. . .sassy! LOL! Well I colored Ms. Megan with my Copic Markers but I sort of messed up on her hair. . .I mean not badly but initially, I colored her hair blond. I then realized that I don't have a designer paper that had a red, black, yellow color combo. Besides, I didn't like the colors together. I already planned to use the designer paper shown on this card so I had to darken her hair to brown. Unfortunately, I had to color over the highlights on her hair. Nothing major but I really didn't want to recolor her hair.

That's about it to the card. The designer paper is by CTMH. . .. actually, they were scrap pieces I had.

Hey. . .did you hear of the new Stampin Up policy? It's the big news in the crafting/stamping world right now. Apparently SU are restricting demonstrators who are bloggers from linking or mentioning on their blog any company that conflicts with SU . . . .basically, all stamping or crafting companies out there. For example, if you color with Copic markers. . .you can't mention that you colored the image with Copic Markers because SU sells their own markers. . .you get my drift?

On top of that, if you have a blog friends that promotes other stamp/craft products that competes with SU, you can't link their sites on your blog. You can't link SCS, PCP, or any other forum that advertise other companies either. Basically, that eliminates 95% of the links on my blog! LOL!!!

Another thing is that demonstrators no longer can be part of any design team that sells products that competes with SU. Oh my goodness. . .I think my SU demonstrator days are over. It doesn't matter. . .I've been a hobbyist for quite a long time already so leaving SU has no real impact on me.

Although I love Stampin Up. . .I'm a crafter and not just a Stampin Up'er. . .KWIM? I see stamping, card making, scrapbooking, etc. . .as an art, not a product. So. . .with that being said, this will be my last month as a SU demonstrator. Oh, well! No big deal!

Anyway. . .I need to get back to my crafting. I have a few DT projects I need to work on. . . .

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!!
