Hi All! And a Very Happy Monday to you!! Welcome to our February 2014 Sneak Peeks! 8-) We've got Soo many Fabulous New Goodies this month! We'll be sharing tons of Awesome inspiration all the way through Thursday! Whoo Hoo!! 8-) And I just know you all are going to LOVE Everything! I know I sure have! ;-) & All of the new products will be available for purchase on Thursday, February 6th at 7 am PST. You'll find it all in the New Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.

Today I am sharing  a couple of Fun Projects and the first one features the Brand New Super ADORABLE  Moka Shannon!! Which, I am Soo honored and proud to say, is named for little old me, being the good Irish Lass that I am, of course, lol!... ;-) I sure hope you like her as much as I do! lol I just wish my wild red curls were as well behaved as hers, lol...;-)  And I thought I'd pair her up with TE's Darling Brand New Floral Eyelet Border Die as well to create a Perfectly Sweet & Adorable St. Patty's Day card... ;-)
Isn't she just the Sweetest EVER!! 8-)  I just LOVE her to bits! lol Can you tel, lol ;-)  Well I I stamped my Sweet Moka Shannon with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto TE's Choice Snow White CS & colored her up with my trusty Copics & popped her up with a bit of  foam tape... 8-) 
My Mats and BG were created with TE's Choice Kraft CSTE's Choice Buttercream CS, TE's Brand New Floral Eyelet Border Die & Doodlebug's Happy Harvest 6x6 collection & dp's from TE's February KI Kit as well.  To finish it all up I stamped my Moka Shannon sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a hand cut banner tag, added a little shading with Antique Linen Distress ink and topped it all off with a Cheery Bow created with some fun Polkadot Ribbon & the help of my handy dandy Bow Easy...8-)

Next up I am featuring the Absolutely ADORABLE Brand New Sack It - Leprechaun Die set & paired it up with TE's Previously released, Sack it To You Dies, TE's Many Mini's Holidays stamp set and TE's Sweet Tiny Toppers Die set as well... ;-)
If you are a regular follower of my blog you probably know I always send out lots of cards to friends and family for each holiday and St. Patty's day is no exception! ;-)  And I was really thrilled how quickly and easily these Darling Lucky Leprechaun cards came together too!!
Isn't he just the CUTEST!! 8-) I created my Darling LEprechaun with TE's Brand New Sack It - Leprichaun DiesTE's Sack It to Me Dies and TE's Tiny Toppers Die set too. My Leprechaun, mats and BG layers were created with Various Bazzill CS's, gold Glitter CS, Various Provo Craft EF's shading with my trusty CopicsTE's February KI Kit. Funny story on the DP's, I needed an extra sheet of the diagonal striped BG paper, and was in a pinch for time and thought, hmmm, I'll just copy it on my photo copier, and didn't realize some of my color inks were out and so it copied as you see here.. & I ended up liking it better for my Lucky Leprechaun cards, lol, so I used it for all three....It must have been the luck of the Irish, lol ;-)  And to finish it all up I just stamped TE's Many Mini's Holidays with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a TE Tiny Toppers shamrock inked with Colorbox Frost White ink & popped up various pieces with a bit of Foam tape.. 8-)

  15. Hey Shannon! You might not be ready for Christmas but you sure are ready for St. Patrick's Day! Little Moka is so cute and you colored her beautifully especially her red hair!! I do believe that everyone needs a lucky Leprechaun living in their back pocket or better yet in a little flower garden in the yard. We all need some good luck now and then.
    Thanks for your continued support Shannon!
