Taylored Expressions Blog Hop
May 18th, 2010
Happy Tuesday! Today Taylored Expressions is hosting a customer blog hop to splotlight stamp sets that were released in 2008 and 2009 and we have over 50 people playing!!! How cool is that? I jumped at the chance to use 2 of my all-time favorite sets Branching Out and Branching Out Coordinates to make a birthday card for a very special friend.
Today is Lori Craig’s birthday and I’m excited to say that she already received this card in the mail yesterday. WooHoo! That never happens! This is a large 5.5″ square card and I used dp from a DCWV stack I picked up at Joanns. The tree trunk was stamped with a pearly Brilliance chocolate ink and the tree top was paper pieced and highlighted with copics and stickles. I was really tickled with how this turned out!
Happy Birthday my sweet friend!!!!
Here we are during Lori’s recent layover in SoCal on her way to Australia.
And now here’s a list of everyone participating in the TE Blast From the Past Blog Hop today. I’m dying to see what everyone has created and which stamp sets everyone has used, but I have to get to work so I’ll just have to hop as many as I can this morning and check out the rest tonight. Oh and if you notice some similar layouts – we were given an optional sketch to use. It’s a good one, but I didn’t end up using it.
