Blast From the Past Blog Hop


Good morning and happy Tuesday!  Taylored Expressions is hosting a fabulous Blast From the Past blog hop today, giving you a peek at some of TE's most beloved stamp sets from 2008 & 2009.  It was really tough choosing only one fabulous set, but I went for one of my all time favorite Cuppie sets - Doctor's Orders.  All the participants were given and optional sketch to use for the hop and you know me and sketches - sign me up!  This fun sketch was designed by TE's very own Sankari and I loved it! I started off by stamping the image on Choice Buttercream cardstock and colored the image with Copic Markers.  I stamped the image again and paper pieced Cuppie's bed with a sheet of The Thrift Shop paper from October Afternoon (can you say yummm???)  The little book is also paper pieced.  So cute!! 

Be sure you check out the other participants in today's blog hop too - grab one of your favorite Taylored Expressions sets and get inky!



Thanks for stopping by!
Karen
