Taylored Expressions Release Party!


Good morning! It's release day at Taylored Expressions, so hop on over to the store and see what Fresh Out of the Oven today! It is finally Fall and I'm sooooo happy to have cooler weather (um, and 2 feet of snow right before Halloween, nice!), the harvest smells in the air, the crisp mornings - autumn is my absolute favorite time of year! Nancy McKinney has done it again and designed an amazing new set in the Whimsical Wishes line of stamps, Celebrate Life. My card features just one tiny morsel of what this set offers and each image is perfect for giving thanks. I started by stamping the pumpking in Memento Rich Cocoa on white card stock and then again on a scrap piece of Fall Flowers designer series paper. I cut out the pumpkin and paper pieced it. I also created my own patterned paper by repeatedly stamping the branch image in Old Olive ink on Certainly Celery card stock.

Do you want the opportunity to purchase all 3 new sets in one glorious bundle? Taylor has put together a fabulous package so you can "get it all" ~ the Super-Size It Bundle includes all 3 new stamp sets {Luxurious Labels, Sweet Indulgence, and Celebrate Life}, the Spa Key Ingredients kit, 3 Potion {spa} Bottles, 10 sheets of sticker paper, and a Chenille Gel Neck Wrap. You can stamp and pamper yourself at the same time! LOL!!

Don't forget to stop on by the Baker's Dozen today and see what they've cooked up for you today. You will not be disappointed -
