Happy Friday!  It’s time for a new Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge and TESC136 is a good one with inifinite possibilities!  I hope you’ll join us – you have 2 full weeks to play along and there will be a prize drawing.  TE stamps are NOT required to play!  Get all the info in the TE Forum on SCS or on Taylor’s blog.

I turned the sketch on it’s side so I could use an image I colored while we were on vacation last week.  I’m loving how this turned out.

This card features Cozy Cottages, which is the curent TE Giving Tree set.  That means that partial proceeds from the sales of this set are donated to Habitat for Humanity (through end of this month.)  My image was colored to coordinate with Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 paper pad.  I LOVE this paper line (TE seems to be out of stock)  – the colors and the vintage feel.  The fence was die cut out of patterned paper with the Taylored Die Picket Fence Border and I added some Liquid Pearl lines.  The birdhouse was trimmed out and popped up on foam squares.  I hand-cut the clouds because I could not for the life of me find my cloud dies.

Let’s see what the rest of the Sketch Crew has to share today:

  • Lisa Hjulberg
  • Lori Craig
  • Melissa Sauls
  • Monika Davis
  • Rachel Sztonyk
  • Taylor VanBruggen
  • I’m really excited for the announcement of the new Sketch Crew Member!  Plus Taylor will announce the winner of the drawing for TESC135.  Both announcements will be made in the TE Forum on SCS – be sure to stop by there.

    Have a great weekend!
