** Last but not least , please join us for our RELEASE DAY BLOG HOP, prizes, and fun on MAY 1st, when FOUR NEW STAMPS will be available on the Farm!   

If you've been a reader of my blog for awhile, then you know that I have a serious girl crush on all of The Greeting Farms Cheeky images!!  So when my design team stamps arrived (I'm always so excited that I rip the packages open while I'm standing at the mailbox) I kissed the stamp and literally skipped back into the house thinking of all the fun to be had with her!!

Let me introduce to you....Cheeky Geeky!!

Acckkk!!  Isn't she AWESOME?!?!  Oh gosh, I just LOVE her!!  xoxoxo

I used papers from Crate Paper's School Spirit Collection and machine stitched all paper panels.  Behind the image, I placed a piece of cork and heat embossed the sentiment onto some Antique Gold Satin Scalloped Edge ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.  (Click HERE for a tutorial on how that's done.)
I applied a generous amount of StarDust Stickles to her headband and Glossy Accents to her glasses.

For my second project, I made a little notepad for myself from a plain kraft covered notepad that I bought for $1.  I used these beautiful DCWV adhesive backed fabric papers that I had been saving (for just the right little project) to decorate the cover.  (I did NOT remove the paper backing since I knew that I wanted to machine stitch on the fabric and the backing paper made it a little more sturdy.)  I created the "notes" using MFT's By the Letters Die-namics and added some gorgeous Festive Fushia Vintage Seam Binding.  I adore how this came out and I'm using the notepad for all of my "crafty" notes!!  :)

I know all my TGF Fans are going to want her...but how would you like a chance to WIN her?!?!
