TE September Calendar Challenge

Hello everyone! I'm back today with my September calendar for the monthly Taylored Expression's Calendar Challenge. I skipped August so guess it's a good thing that you only have to compete in 10 out of 12 months to win the $150.00 prize that's up for grabs. ;-) You can click here for the details and link up your calendar entries if you'd like to participate. The only requirement is that you use a TE calendar product and I'm using the 2013 6x6 Calendar Download.  I kept this month low-key to let the sentiment take center stage. It is definitely one of my favorite quotes and I paired it up with a TE die cut label that I embellished with platinum liquid pearls. 

This is going to be short & sweet because I returned late Wednesday from a working vacation and I'm exhausted. We did get a brief reprieve and were able to visit our son at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio over the weekend. It was so nice to meet his girlfriend, Jessica, and we absolutely adore her. She is a special young woman and I'm thrilled he's so happy and enjoying Army life. As much fun as it is to get away it's even better coming home and returning to my crafty spot and comfy bed. :-) I guess Dorothy was right, there's no place like home.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a terrific weekend everyone!

Hugs,

Lisa

TE Calendar Challenge-June

Welcome! I'm back today to share my calendar for the Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge-June and I used the 2012 TE Calendar Download. You can view the current challenge and a recap of the challenge rules if you click on the link above. I'm a big fan of TE's Key Ingredients Kit and I used paper and embellishments from February which featured MME Lost & Found Rosy. The kits make it a breeze to put a card, or any project, together quickly.

One lone flower is all the stamping I did and it's from TE's Friendship Blooms which I die cut with the coordinating die. The satin ribbon and lush pearl were part of the kit which made life easy for me.

Thanks for dropping by today, hope everyone has a great week!

TE February Calendar Challenge

Happy Saturday! I'm a tad late with this post but last month was a blur and this slipped my mind. This is my February entry for Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge and the requirement is to use one TE calendar product for your submission. I used Taylor's 6x6 2012 calendar download which I trimmed and a dp from Echo Park's "Be Mine" provides a nice backdrop. The cute little lady is Cherie from Taylor's Moka stamp collection and I added some Fruit Punch Stickles by Ranger to the heart she is holding. Taylor is offering a wonderful resource and I downloaded the FREE Moka Hair & Skin Color Chart and colored her with Copic markers. I die cut a Favor Frame Die and stamped a border from A Little Love and used Glitz Teeny Alpha's in bubblegum pink pink for the month. The sentiment 'Je t'aime' is from Moka Cherie and 'Happy Valentine's Day' is from A Little Love. Glitter Dome Pale Pink bling provides a border and accents the page while the iridescent heart swirl bling adds some color and whimsy. Pink ruffled ribbon, by May Arts, adds some "fufu" while the rhinestones hearts & pink paper rose by Recollections completes my calendar. So there you have it, two months down and ten more to go!

Have fun papercrafting wherever you are and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
