Trendy Tuesday – On the Farm
by Katherine Elliot
Summer is soon to come to a close and fall harvest ideas are showing up in the paper craft blogosphere. I”m not yet ready to let go of summer just yet, but I can slowly start the transition with these popular farm themes. To start, check out these cute & fun project & images from stamp sets from LawnFawn, Hambo Stamps, and Paper Smooches.

By now I hope you may be humming a happy, country tune. I cannot seem to get the Green Acres tv show theme song out of my head after having hunted down these products and projects! Inspired now to grow your own creative farm themed project?. With craft ideas spreading out so far and wide, go get your ink and glue and give it a country try! Happy crafting, everyone.
Wonderful projects!
Such happy projects. Each brought a big smile to my face.
As some one who goes to our local Farm each week to pick up a wonderfully grown, and delicious, CSA share, I really appreciate your Farm Theme. I had no idea that there are so many Stamps, Paper, and Embellishments out there with a Farm Theme. Bravo to you and our hard-working Farmers!
