I'm so excited to tell you that I'm going to be Guest Designing for Taylored Expressions for the next two months! If I'm dreaming, please don't wake me up, LOL, 'cause today is release day and my debut! The Baker's Dozen designers have been showing you some AWESOME samples over the last few days and it's all available in the store right now!
For my project today I'm using Make a Wish. Make a Wish is the latest addition to Taylored Expressions' Giving Tree series! If you're not familiar with the Giving Tree, each quarter TE introduces a new stamp set to support a different charity. When you purchase the Make a Wish stamp set during the months of September, October, and November, TE will donate $7.00 to the Make a Wish Foundation. The mission of the Make a Wish Foundation is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich families with hope, strength and joy. I am humbled to be able to participate in this wonderful cause. You can get all the details here at Taylor's blog.
I'm using the three balloon images from this set for my focal image. The balloons are stamped separately and guess what? There are dies to go with the balloons! I don't have them--yet ;-) So I cut my balloons by hand and glued them down. There are several sentiments included and I chose this simple one and cut it apart to fit my layout. Guess what else? That banner is a stamp!! Yes!! It's actually longer than what I have on my card, but the beauty is that you can add or subtract and make it as long as you want! Awe-some! I'm only using a small portion of the fabulous images and sentiments included in this set--you'll have to see it to believe it!
So, now, you'll want to check out what the Baker's Dozen has in store for you today. I'm thinkin' you're gonna be WOW'd!
