Joy!


Yep, that's what I'm feeling today... JOY! I am so happy and proud to announce that I am joining the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge Sketch Crew! Yep! It's true! Eek! I'm so excited, I've been hopping up and down ever since I heard. My boys think I've lost my mind. (ha!)

OMGoodness, this is a dream come true and one I never dared to hope for. I'm a long-time fan (and customer) of Taylored Expressions. I've watched Taylor build her business over the past couple of years and have been so impressed. She has impeccable taste in all the fun new stuff we paper crafters are looking for. Her Key Ingredients Kits are a must-have in my stamp room... as any of you who visit me know. And her stamps are just my cup of tea, full of whimsy and too cute for words!

The best part is working with the veteran TESC Sketch Crew members, many of whom I'm sure you already know:

Jackie Pedro: The Scalloped Edge
Jami Sibley: More is More
Lynn Mercurio: Stamperosity
Monika Davis: M.A.D. Stamper
Sherrie Siemens: Card Creme

Plus the other new Sketch Crew members:

Melissa Sauls: In Stamping Mode
Rachel Sztonyk: Gingerbread Gallery
Alice Lihsuan-Wertz: Alice's Little Wonderland

All I can say is Yippee!!! And thank you Taylor for this awesome opportunity!

My official start is this coming Friday's sketch, but I wanted to kick off my celebration by sampling this week's sketch. I used the new Taylored Expressions holiday stamp set Wings of Joy. I love every single stamp in this set... the possibilities are endless! And who doesn't love birds? The DP is Cosmo Cricket's Jolly by Golly (Mini Deck). I used a bit of Liquid Applique on the Santa hats. The cardstock is Prism Island Mist Light and Blush Red Dark. Quick and easy!


Thanks so much for stopping by to visit! I hope you have a JOYFUL day!
