Hi all! And a Very Happy Tuesday to you! Can you believe it. Two post in one day! Lol Well, it's for a Super Exciting reason, so I hope you all don't mind... 8-) I just had to share, I've been bursting at the seams! Lol! The Very Talented and Fabulous Taylor VanBruggen Owner of Taylored Expressions has asked me to be a member of her Super Talented Baker's Dozen Design Team! Yay! I have been a big fan of Taylored Expressions images and dies for quite some time now and I have admired and cyber stalked many of her Baker's Dozen DT for just as longl.. So to say I was thrilled and extremely honored by her invitation, would be a HUGE understatement! I know you can't see me right now, but I am SO doing my Happy Dance! Yay! 8-) Also, we have another Brand new Bakers Dozen DT member too, Miss Shelly Mercado of Popsicle Toes.. Sure hope you will stop by and check out her Awesome creations and wish her a warm welcome as well! So glad I am not the only newbie to this Wonderful team! lol So without further ado, on to my Very first Taylored Expressions creation as a Baker's Dozen DT member!
It's Always good to have a few Expecting/Baby cards on hand. So I stamped my Sweet TE Moka Jen with Memento Tuxedo Black and did a bit of paper piecing on her Cute little top and colored up the rest of her with my Trusty Copics.. Isnt' she just the Sweetest? 8-) I cut her out and matted her up with the help of my Classic Ovals and Scallop Ovals Nesties sets and added a touch of shading with my Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass Distress inks while the die was still in place, then popped her up with a bit of foam tape. My mats and BG layers were created with a a combination of kraft CS from my stash and MME's 6x6 Miss Caroline Howdy Doody collection. To finish it all up I added a Fun TE Majestic Border die cut, stamped my Moka Jen sentiment onto a Darling TE mini tags die cut, added a bit of ribbon from my stash for a Cute little bow and a couple Sweet adhesive pearls!
