Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop

Welcome to the September round of the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop!  This is one of my favorite posts of the month - it's always such a treat to look through all of those yummy TE sets and pick one to ink up and give some special attention.  This month I chose to ink up The Places You'll Go - love this set!!  It's so perfect for boys, which I always find difficult to make cards for.

I started off with Mercy's MTSC91 and some Lil Man paper from Cosmo Cricket (so cute!) and inked up this adorable little image with Memento Rich Cocoa and Copic markers.  The border is the new Scalloped Eyelet Border die and I created the circle underneath with 2 circle Nestabilities dies.

Taylored Expressions is offering a special Blast from the Past sale in order to help you prepare for our next customer blog hop! Our October blog hop is all about Christmas and we'll be featuring past Christmas stamps from Taylored Expressions in our creations. The following select Christmas sets are 20% off through Sunday, September 26th so it's a great time to pick one up and join us on the hop next month. You can find all the details on the TE Blog Hop HERE!

Karen
