Turn Your Face To The Sun


Happy Friday! We're back with a brand new Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge, and this one comes with a bonus... a chance to win a Taylored Expressions stamp set of choice!!! Woo hoo!!! The deadline to enter is Thursday, July 1st at 10pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on Friday July 2nd during our next sketch challenge.


And it's a wonderful sketch to play with, don't you think? I love it! I really have a thing for square cards these days. I'm just sorry that my photos of light colored cards look so washed out. I've tried different things and just can't seem to get it right. I'll keep trying! Edited to add: Taylor suggested I photograph my card against a colored background, so I tried black... plus a few more tweaks with my photo editing software. I think it's better!


My card features images from the beautiful new stamp set called Summer Afternoon. This is a truly special stamp set... perfect for making quick and easy cards. The DP is from the Capella collection by Basic Grey.The circle in the top left corner is supposed to be the sun. (*grin*)

I look forward to seeing your card in this week's challenge! For more inspiration, you should definitely stop by and see what the rest of the Sketch Crew has created. I know I can't to see. It's always a delight!

Jami Sibley: More is More
Lori Craig: Make a Difference 
Monika Davis: M.A.D. Stamper
Sherrie Siemens: Card Creme
and of course Taylor herself: Taylored Expressions

Have a wonderful day!

P.S. By the way, Taylored Expressions is having a great sale on several items... and there are lots of new items recently added to the store, like the new Scor Buddy and some fun new embellies... I've ordered mine! Can't wait!
