Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop

Hello!!  Taylored Expressions is hosting a blog hop featuring TE sets we all love which were released through March 2010 - AND one luck participant will win a Taylored Expressions stamp set of their choice!  Don't worry, if you missed out on the blog hop this month you'll have another chance to sign up for the next hop - the more the merrier :) 


This month we have an optional Inspiration challenge - LOVE these colors together, don't you?  They happen to match the Udderly Sweet Project Pantry Kit, so I grabbed the ribbon and papers from it first thing.  I love how versatile these papers are! Not just for Farmin', haha!  I started off with the MOJO144 sketch and stamped the butterfly from Discover Your Wings in Memento Tuxedo Black on both the textured blue cardstock and yellow patterned paper.  After paper piecing the butterfly, I added a few Aqua Rhinestones in the center and down on the flowered paper as well as some Taylor's Tiny Twinkles along the scalloped border.  The sentiment is from Branching Out and I stamped it on Choice Buttercream cardstock and cut it out with a Labels 1 Nestabilities die template.

Thanks for joining our little blog hop today - I hope to see you at our next one!

  2. Ack! Is there anything you can't do?! That color combo looks phenomenal under your capable hands...and I don't know why it's never occurred to me that the butterfly can be paper pieced - and in any color other than the lovely purple of the storage folder =)
