Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge February

Blast from the Past Blog Hop

It’s time for the February addition of the Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge!

For my calendar page this month I started with the Frame Your Imagination stand paired with the 6×6 printable calendar (Taylor has both 2012 and 2013 available for those that want to work ahead  – perfect for gift making!). I used Love A La Carte as my focal point. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black on Snow White Choice Cardstock and colored it with Copics to match My Mind’s Eye Love Me paper. I kept this page in line with the theme I started on my first calendar month. To accent the image I added a bit of Doodle Twine and cut outs from Hearts a Plenty. I added a bit of shine to the heart in LOVE with Glossy accents and popped the die cuts up on foam tape. Lastly I added a order using the Scalloped Eyelet Border Die.

I am just loving this frame! It makes a great addition to the decorations in our basement and it’s so versatile. You could really use the frame to showcase just about anything!!

Please join us this month! You can get the full details at Taylor’s blog and please feel free to jump in at any time.

Howdy all! I hope you are having a fantastic week! This week’s sketch is brought to you by the amazing Krista Smith of the Saturated Canary and she is very graciously offering two digis from her shop as the prize to one lucky participant! Make sure you hop around and see what the design team has done with her gorgeous digis because I have to say this might just be my favorite week so far! Now, how about that sketch?

This Week’s Sketch:

And here’s a little something to get the thoughts going on how to use it:

For my card I used Zorana a dancing gypsy for my card and I LOVE how adorable she is and she was tons of fun to color. I should also add that I used an embarrassing amount of markers to color that dress so I’m not even gonna share them but it was easily around 40, lol. I used MME’s Love Me paper for this (my current FAVE) and PTI white and kraft cardstock for the rest. To dress is up a bit I added Vintage Photo distress ink and a bit of doodling and distressing here and there. The sentiment and dies around the sentiment are from Verve and the border die is from Taylored Expressions.

Now, I have another AMAZING announcement that I know you are going to be so excited about cause I know I am! We have the AMAZINGLY TALENTED and insanely creative Amy Sheffer joining us for the next three months!

So there’s a little something to get you started and now it’s time to hop around and see what everyone else on the DT has been up to and leave them a little love. :)
