Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek | Day 1

How can it be January 2011 already??  It's time to celebrate the New Year and Taylored Expressions is getting the party started with a HUGE release - yep, HUGE!  The Bakers Dozen is showcasing 2 new sets and 2 new dies today, which will be available in the TE store on Friday, January 7th - ready to get started?

First up for me this week is New Beginnings, which is a fantastic set created by Sankari and illustrated by Taylor - these girls are so uber talented!  You can use these beautiful images for graduates, promotions, new goals, or anyone who is starting a new chapter in their life journey and combine it with the sentiments from Rest and Renewal.  It's full of inspirational sentiments and images, which coordinate with our new Butterflies & Frame It Up Dies.

I stamped the frame in Toffee Fluid Chalk ink and then cut it out with the Frame It Up die and added a few Chocolate Pearls and love how elegantly it dresses up the frame.  The sentiment is stamped in Dark Brown Fluid Chalk ink.

I used the paper tole technique to make the flower pop.  The patterned papers are Fine & Dandy by My Mind's Eye.  I think this card would look really cute in a frame on my desk too :)



The Bakers Dozen have much, much more for you to peek at today, so stop on by and see:

See you back tomorrow for more sneaks!!
