<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #797979;">I'm playing along again for the second day of November sneak peeks at </span><a href="http://tayloredexpressions.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d530a8;">Taylored Expressions</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #797979;">. This release has so many fun dies that coordinate with new and existing sets, but today I decided to combine the </span><span style="color: #797979;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Pockets & Pages Bubble In </i>die</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #797979;"> with another favourite of mine—wine! This die is perfect for framing pictures and almost any sentiment you might want to include on a scrapbook page or card</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #797979;">. I thought these <b><i>Witty Wine Quotes</i></b> were just cheeky enough to stand on their own with very little embellishment.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #797979; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;">For my second card, I flipped the die to point the quote bubble in the opposite direction and tipped it slightly to fit the sentiment. I also included the corkscrew and one of the wine glass charms to the frame.</span></div>

I was first introduced to scrapbooking when my twins were born. Today they turned 15 and I have so much to catch up on—important events, celebrations, trips...but also with daily life and pages dedicated to telling them who I am. The essential elements TE is releasing this week are perfect for quick and meaningful scrapbooking. Once I get my photos and thoughts organized, I will be back with scrapbooking inspiration in my hybrid style, but for today I used a few Pockets & Pages dies on this card:</span></span></span></div>

The background is cut with layers from the 4"x6" collection of Pockets & Pages dies. An instant birthday card for Morgana today! Imagine these same elements popped into a pocket-style scrapbook page protector.</span></div>

Today's theme is 'Back to School,' which can be both exciting and depressing for some. Teachers and kids are excited about a fresh new year and weary parents are happy to get back to routine, BUT who wants to say goodbye to summer break? I remember as a teacher that feeling on August 1st that holidays were almost over—that's right...only four weeks left to go. For friends who looked forward to just 4 weeks of holidays during the entire year, this was hard to explain. Teachers need and deserve their holidays to give their all to everyone else's kids from September to June, let me tell you!! So my first card goes out to them...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">It's the first day of sneak peeks for August and </span><a href="http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.ca/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d530a8;">Taylor</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> and her team have so much to show you. I'm playing along today with a new set and the coordinating dies I illustrated—<i>Butterfly Parade</i>. For my first card, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">I stamped two sizes and styles of butterflies with distress ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I created the focal panel using </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://tayloredexpressions.com/banner-stacklets-2.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d530a8;">banner stacklets 2</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> and two of the </span><a href="http://tayloredexpressions.com/curly-swirlies.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d530a8;">Curly Swirlies</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> dies, then layered the butterflies in a whimsical flight. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Next up, I've created a variation on the same theme and stamped butterflies in a variety of sizes in raspberry fizz ink and highlighted one cut in felt. I love the dotted swirly line in this set and can see myself using it with other stamps and dies. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;">I cut the border out of textured black to create the silhouette scene and also out of the main kraft panel to create a type of window for the scene. I generously inked up white card stock with cantaloupe memento ink and wild honey and spiced marmalade distress inks for the background and sentiment tag. The sentiment is from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=3743">A Day in Paradise</a> on the smallest of the <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4963&page=2">Banner Stacklets 1 </a>dies.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;">It's release day at <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/category.php?category_id=160">Taylored Expressions</a> for June! Finding 'me time' in my craft area has been a challenge, but I have a card for today using several of my designs now available in store. I've played with the new <i>Ray of Sunshine </i>cutting plate; <i>Ride the Wave</i> stamp set; <i>Surfboard</i> and <i>Ride the Wave</i> dies; and one of the <i>Pinking Circles</i> stacklets... </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;">I went <a href="http://cardworthy.blogspot.ca/2012/10/te-october-release-spotlight-day.html">back</a> to a technique I used with TE's first cutting plate and cut a mask with removable label paper. Love this simple, inky technique. I stamped the dude and sentiment and used the edge of the distressed wave image in the <i>Ride the Wave</i> set to ink the edges of my surfboard-shaped sentiment. The Ride the Wave die reminds me of an armband tattoo when tucked behind. Kind of cool, I think.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;">Today I'm playing along again with sneak peeks of a new cutting plate and Whimsical Wishes stamp set I illustrated for this <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> release. Love the detail we were able to include in the new <b><i>MR & MRS cutting plate</i></b>! It stands alone with very little embellishment as in my first card.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to go with something quick and masculine for my first card using <i>Spectacular! </i>and one of the new <i>Spectacles Dies</i>. My hubby's birthday is just around the corner so I'm ready! The wee heart is cut from the house charm in the new <i>Handmade Charm Dies</i> that are also part of this release. I've used Spellbinders Card Creator A2 Matting Basics to cut the eye chart sentiment and mat. I also added crystal effects to the heart to give just a hint of shine, but I'm not sure that shows in the photo.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've used the more feminine frames from the Spectacles dies for this card and combined the sentiments "in my eyes" and "you're One of a Kind." The label stacklets make my focal look a little like a face, which wasn't what I intended, but hopefully it's different and cute. I've embossed the pink panel with the <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=3211">TE Hearts Impression Plate</a> and cut the heart from the <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=3906">Tiny Toppers Dies</a> set.</span><br />

This inconvenience is so small compared to what Jodi and those of you affected by Hurricane Sandy are going through, so no complaints here...I'll just have to add my photos and details later today when my cable line is fixed.<br />

Until a little later...<br />

What's the Stamp n' Send Challenge? Well, I actually have to send a card! And this month's challenge encourages us to send some sunshine to a nursing home, hospital or someone in the armed services. To help out, I've used the fabulous sketch from our very own Baker's Dozen sketch-anista, <b><a href="http://deconstructingjen.com/">Jen Schults</a></b>!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each week, there will be a new challenge in the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/taylored-expressions-f314/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Taylored Expressions Member Forum</a> at <a href="http://Splitcoaststampers.com/">Splitcoaststampers.com</a>. For every card you make AND send you'll be entered into a prize drawing. <b>Plus, for EVERY entry, you will be entered into a drawing for a Grand Prize package worth $100 to help you make more cards.</b> Sounds good to me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here's my card for today. I love Jen's sketch the way it is, but for my project I left out a few layers. I made the sentiment from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=3964">Peaceful Poinsettia</a> my focal and had fun with the build-a-poinsettia images in the set and the coordinating dies. I created the mini tag using one of <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4491">TE mini tag dies</a> and stamped the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment from the new WW petite set, <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4842">Poinsettia Bouquet</a>. </span><br />

I'm so thrilled with the <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4854&category_id=160">new quatrefoil cutting plate</a> that I have three cards to show you...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I was inspired by Pamela's (of <i>miao.a design blog</i>) <a href="http://fishydesign.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/papertrey-august-blog-hop-cfc-67-moxie-fab-world-case-study-105/">clean and graphic style</a> and thought..."hmmm...wouldn't the new quatrefoil cutting plate make an awesome mask?!" so I ran to Staples to pick up full sheets of removable label paper! I cut the quatrefoil design from the label paper, adhered my removable mask on white card stock and went to town rubbing dye ink starting in the lower portion with yellow/gold and working my way out with green, blue and midnight. Then I carefully removed the mask and kept it on a piece of white card stock for my second project.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgywZCCynVSDoJWNdHo0FS8FFnaQMuywts2-C7bFFeIV0IlE4B5mugweytN23oqDG9y_V_HhNCmtVm7guVeoH5i4p9U0-Y9bhjrxWKsmouqU1eJFMtUWvy3U8mP0Miirh199zZqvccfcGU/s1600/wonder+nativity.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgywZCCynVSDoJWNdHo0FS8FFnaQMuywts2-C7bFFeIV0IlE4B5mugweytN23oqDG9y_V_HhNCmtVm7guVeoH5i4p9U0-Y9bhjrxWKsmouqU1eJFMtUWvy3U8mP0Miirh199zZqvccfcGU/s400/wonder+nativity.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">The<a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4848&category_id=160"> nativity border die</a> is one of my favourite items this release. The combination of detail and simplicity is truly lovely (I think). I've used a portion of a sentiment from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=2970">Winter Wonderland</a> and added a jewelled brad from my stash. I think I'll be making a set of these!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">And here's the mask repurposed and flipped to create a sunny background for "life's better at the beach." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYfCCmV062pIPzIP1zg73uvjqv4-JvqUrsp_nLaeSPznaPTHhbwHcHCvIOts095RgYvMGEl8ESzhG7eiMmAwZn1HctJ0i-cD9Sa5LS_CtwZkJ3s3yL0cMk8hsKb4nrxL0IEygblLRNjo/s1600/better+at+the+beach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYfCCmV062pIPzIP1zg73uvjqv4-JvqUrsp_nLaeSPznaPTHhbwHcHCvIOts095RgYvMGEl8ESzhG7eiMmAwZn1HctJ0i-cD9Sa5LS_CtwZkJ3s3yL0cMk8hsKb4nrxL0IEygblLRNjo/s400/better+at+the+beach.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I've combined the sentiment from the new WW <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4843&category_id=160">Best Nests</a> set with images from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=3743">A Day in Paradise</a> and cut out the scene and mat with the new stacklet labels. I've coloured the scene with copics and prismacolors and paperpieced the umbrella.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">And finally, this is actually my first attempt at masking with the quatrefoil cutting plate BEFORE I ran to Staples for the label paper. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2n8GeAXQ0bQO1D4wQDQS4g8nwek0x8bpTl2u-kwqkeScJ7JbahHOieoddRt-FJh_YC2f-RnjORQKTzsdVZs2kHx_kkrqzv4EGwjVuIE0VwUTl5lhRweOCEhi3xzQX0XffS61Ig29UN5I/s1600/merry+mitten.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2n8GeAXQ0bQO1D4wQDQS4g8nwek0x8bpTl2u-kwqkeScJ7JbahHOieoddRt-FJh_YC2f-RnjORQKTzsdVZs2kHx_kkrqzv4EGwjVuIE0VwUTl5lhRweOCEhi3xzQX0XffS61Ig29UN5I/s400/merry+mitten.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">I was using pieces of large labels, so the mask worked but you can see that the ink made its way into the white zone just a little. I kept the centre white for the sentiments from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4835&category_id=160">Very Merry</a> and an adorable felt mitten cut with the Very Merry dies and a snowflake from the snowflake border die.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Whew! That's all from me right now. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Here's what the rest of Taylor's BD has for you today...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">I didn't stamp a sentiment because I wanted this to be a card I could use anytime...happy birthday, thinking of you, miss you, let's get away...when I need a card. I think it's also suitable for either a guy or gal, which is a bonus. I've stamped the image with momento ink; coloured with copics and prismacolors; and popped up the seagull. I've also used one of the new TE Stacklets for my focal image and the <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4686">TE Chevron Border dies</a>.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">For my next card, I've combined the new petite <i>Poinsettia Bouquet</i> set with the 'Happy Holidays' sentiment from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=2968&category_id=231" style="font-style: normal;">Sparkle & Cheer</a>. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I stamped the bouquet image and cut it out with one of the larger stacklets and coloured with copics and prismacolors. I stamped a second and third image, coloured them, trimmed them and popped them up to add some dimension. I'm thrilled with how the new Quatrefoil Cutting Plate embossed when I used embossing mats instead of the cutting plate sandwich. I'll be using this plate a lot!!</span><br />

Happy Birthday, <b><a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> </b>and taylor's special girl, Madelyn! My notecard today features Moka Madelyn in her honour and the new <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4791">Bake Me a Cake die set</a>. I used felt for the frosting and a modest amount of <a href="http://sunnysankari.blogspot.ca/">Sankari's</a> favourite embellishment...liquid pearls. The wee tag is cut from <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4491&page=10">Mini Tags die set</a> and I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the <a href="http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/item.php?item_id=4487">Daisy Bouquet petite set</a>. Here's Moka Madelyn inside the notecard...<br />
