Enjoy - Whimsie Doodles! 8-)

Hi All! And a Very Happy Friday to you! Hope you've all been having a Wonderful week so far! Today I'm back to share my latest Whimsie Doodles, Doodlelicious Diva creation featuring the Super Darling Beach Hat Ava image!...8-) Isn't she just the Sweetest!! 

Well, right now, as you are reading this I am sitting on a Beach in Beautiful Sunny Jamaica, so I though Sweet Beach Hat Ava would be Super appropriate for my Post today. 8-) lol And that is also why she is wearing vertical stripes cause they are more slimming! And I could use all the help I can get in the Slimming bathing suit department! lol ;-)

I printed out my Darling Beach Hat Ava image, onto Flourishes Classic White, did a little paper piecing, and colored her up with my Trusty Copics... I cut her with the help of my Classic Ovals Nesties set and popped her up with a bit of Foam tape.

My mats and BG layers, are a combination of Choice Buttercream CS & some Adorable dp's & Pretty CS's from Fancy Pants Summer Soul 6x6 collection. And to finish it all up I added some Fun TE Wave Border Die cuts & some sweet ribbon from my stash! 8-)

You can find the Super SWEET Beach Hat Ava along with a bunch more Darling images in the shop's Summer Fun section.. ;-)

Hope you all have a Fabulous day & Thanks so much for stopping in! 8-)

Taylored Expressions April Studio Challenge! 8-)

Hi All & a Very Happy Tuesday to you! 8-) It's time for the Baker's Dozen Studio Challenge.  This is a monthly opportunity for the Taylored Expressions team to share what makes our stamping studios hum.  Each month we  have a fun, crafty question so we can share our favorites, some tips and tricks, stamping advice and more.

The theme for April is:

Mix & Match!  TE stamp sets are designed with plenty of images and sentiments so they are "self-contained" for lots of creativity, but sometimes it's fun to mix and match several different sets for even more possibilities.

Your challenge is to create a project using three or more TE stamp sets.

OMGoodness, what a Fabulous Theme!! Can I just tell you I had SOOOO Much fun with our Challenge this month! First off I took out all my Binder Boxes of Taylored Expressions Stamps and spread them all out and just went thru all of them, and was so excited to find I actually found a few different combinations of several sets together that I could create some Neat projects with, which was definitely pretty Cool! And here's the one I came up with for today's Studio Challenge... 8-)

Believe it or not this Sweet Birthday scene was created with 4 Different TE sets...Wowie!! 8-)  I Chose to work with You Take the Cake, Happy Trails, Woodland Winter, Moka Madenlyn... I kept my layout pretty simple so My Cute little Birthday Party Goers would have the spotlight... ;-) I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White, did some serious masking and colored them up with my trusty Copics. 

I fussy cut out their Moka Madelyn Party hats, and stuck them on top of my Sweet Woodland Winter Mouse and Happy Trails Bear's Cute little heads. 8-) I scored the edges of my finished image with my scor-pal for a nice clean look, matted it up and popped it up with a bit of foam tape. For my mats and BG layers I chose a combo of Choice Buttercream CS and some Darling dp's from Doodlebug's Hello Spring 6x6 collection. And to finish it all up I added a Fun TE Pennant Border Die cut and a little Glossy Accent to the Fun Bunch of You Take the Cake Balloons... 8-)

The Baker's Dozen has Lots more goodies for you this morning, so hop on over and see...8-)
