Taylored Expressions September 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 September is:

We’re continuing our month-long TE Birthday Bash celebration with a special birthday-inspired Studio Challenge! Sometimes all we need to help us create is to simply see something that is beautiful, cool, or unique. Did you know that Taylored Expressions has over 30 boards on Pinterest filled with crafty eye-candy? We’d love to have you follow us at http://pinterest.com/tayloredexpress

Today’s challenge: choose a photo from Taylor’s Birthday Inspiration Pinterest Board to inspire a stamped creation!

OMGoodness!! What a Super Fun Challenge! 8-)  Here's the inspiration pic I chose to play along with and here's the link to it on Taylor's Birthday Inspiration Pinterest Board HERE! as well... ~And I'll be sharing a bit further down in my post today how you can play along too for a chance to win some Awesome prizes!!! Yay!...8-)

And here's my take on it... 8-)

I stamped my Fun Hey, Sweet-Tea Lemonade images onto Choice Snow White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them up with my trusty Copics. I used the Mason Jar Glass & Lid Dies to cut it out, & fussy cut out my straw and lemon round, put them all together and popped them up with a bit of foam tape.

My Mats and BG were created with TE's Choice Kraft CS, Choice Snow White CS, TE's Pennant Border Die, TE's Medium Scallop Border Die, TE's Vintage Dreamer Stamp set, Colorbox Frost White ink, Scattered Straw Distress ink, TE's September KI Kit, Fancy Pant's Cheery Park Bench 6x6 collection & SB's Classic Ovals Nesties set too...8-) To Finish it all up, I just stamped my Hey, Sweet-Tea Sentiment onto a hand cut banner tag with Memento Tuxedo Black, and Voila! There you have it!... ;-)
