TE: Fabulous Felt Flowers

Hi Peeps!  This month the Taylored Expressions designers are having some fun with the fabulous TE Felt!  Have you tried it?  It's the best out there... SERIOUSLY!  Taylored Expressions has 50 gorgeous colors of 100% wool felt & there are so many wonderful ways to use it!  


For my card today, I used five different shades of the 100% Wool Taylored Expressions Felt ~ Butter, Papaya, Khaki, Peach & Pear and I die cut them with the Mini Bloomers & Bloomers Greenery Dies (links below).   This felt cuts beautifully with the Taylored Dies!  For the sentiment on my card, I used the set called When Your Heart Speaks.




Have an amazing day!

Sara's Signature Collection ~ Butterfly Lullaby from Crafter's Companion

Today at Crafter's Companion, Sara's Davies Signature Collection called Butterfly Lullaby is going to be released.  This debuted on HSN several months ago and sold out so fast that just now some of the pieces back in stock.  So today we have the beautiful paper pads, 2 embossing folders, 3 dies, and some printed card toppers available.  The rest of the collection should be available soon.

The flower border on my card was made with the 6x6 Paper Pad.   Using my detail scissors, I trimmed along the flowered border of the pattern paper and added it to the edge of my card over the embossed card panel.  



Have a wonderful day!

Project Life: Time to Cruise!

Hi Friends!  Wasn't the Taylored Expressions April Release a blast???  After giving you 4 full days of cards, I thought I'd share a few more of my Project Life App pages for my Moments ~ #onelittleword project.  

After spending a few days in London and then 3 days in Barcelona, it was time to board the beautiful cruise ship.  Our family loves cruising because we can really get away.  Having a very busy husband who works from a home office, cruising is truly the only way he can unplug... in fact, we all "unplug" for the week.  And, we all enjoy that!  The first page is actually the cover page for our album, but I did it last, so I thought I'd share it on this post.  I included a highlight picture from several of our stops.



As I stated above, we enjoy cruising and always go on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line ships.  While on board, I usually purchase the photo package so that once we get home, I have tons of professional photos in both digital and printed format.  The digital photos are perfect to use with the Project Life App!  On the layout below is our Welcome Aboard photo!


Exploring the beautiful ship!



Next up FRANCE... see you next week!

Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks: Congrats to the Grad!

It's Day #3 of the April Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks and I'm super excited to share a few scrapbook pages with you!



Taylored Expressions has some awesome new (and previously released) graduation products and I think used almost all of them on my layouts!  For the background on my page, I used the two "Hooray" sentiments and stamped them in kraft ink on the Toffee Cardstock for a nice tone-on-tone look.  Then I added the fun new Picture Perfect - Celebrate frame with my untrimmed photo behind it.  {Other products used on this page are linked below}


For the second layout, I used the smaller frame {Dream Big} from the Picture Perfect - Celebrate die and the Picture Perfect - Smile/Hello die as well.  I also used two of the new Little Bits dies - Hats off and Diploma.  Then I added the Congrats Script on the bottom photo.

For my next project, I used the Grad Grumplings Stamp & Die Combo set to make a cute Graduation Hat shaped card.


I found this grad hat card on Pinterest and thought this was the perfect opportunity to use it with all new fun grad images and dies from TE this month!    Here is how it looks closed...



And now opened.  
Isn't that little monkey from the Grad Grumplings set cute?
