Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks - Day 1 - Oh The Places You Will GO!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Today is a special day ;) ! I woke up to my sweet wee ones singing me happy birthday and to cupcakes! What a sweet way to start the day! And what a way to celebrate by showing some sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions September release!!!! Woo-hoo!!!! This is one of my favorite sets that Taylor is releasing called: The Places You Will Go! Do you remember reading this and other Dr. Seus stories from back in the day? Well, creating these cards brought back so many memories of books that my parents read to me and that I am now reading to my kids - and that is why I feel that this stamp set is so special - because this stamp set is the newest in the Taylored Expressions Giving Tree Program and will be benefitting the Books for Kids Foundation when you buy this stamp set for the next three months. 

The mission of this foundation is to promote literacy among all kids with a special emphasis on low-income and at risk preschool aged children. Books for Kids creates libraries, donates books and partners with literacy programs to develop the critical early foundation and skills which young children need to be successful in life. For each "The Places You'll Go" stamp set sold during the quarter, Taylored Expressions will donate $7.00 to the Books for Kids Foundation!

Card #1 - You can Steer Yourself Any Direction You Choose

I love the images and sentiments in this stamp set - each one is just inspiring and can be used for so many different occasions -  here a card I made using Taylor's sketch #80 and one of my fave Dr. Seuss sayings from this stamp set: "You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself, any direction you choose." I LOVE the papers in the Key Ingredients kit that Taylor has put together to coordinate with this stamp set - the colors and ribbon and buttons are just yumm-a-licious!!!

Card #2: I Love you to the Moon and Back 

I was so excited when I saw this sentiment and image in this stamp set - because I read the Guess How Much I Love You Book to my kids every night at bed: I love the sentiment: I love you to the moon and back! I used the same Places You will Go Key Ingredients Kit to create this card:

Here is a closer peek at the sentiment and rocket:

And I love this image so much that I had to use it again and created a 6x6 scrapbook layout using the Scrappy Sunday (sb083009) layout for this week from Paper Craft Planet and another of my fave sentiments to congratulate my son on his first day of Pre-K:

Project #4: 6x6 Scapbook layout 

It was so fulfilling on the first day of Pre K to watch my son easily and confidently march into his class, pick up a book and plop down on the couch in the classroom and start to read and then read it to his friend. He loves books and I am so glad that he is able to entertain himself with a good book. I love that Taylor is donating to the Books for Kids Foundation (you can read more about it here) through the sale of this stamp set because it is so important to give and surround children with books to spark the imagination at that early age - and from there - who knows all the places you will Go!!!

 

Here is a closer peek at the sentiment: 

And here it is displayed in the Calendar Stand from the Taylored Expressions Store (I love this product, because it works perfect for a 6x6 layout that you can immediately display in the house - my son, loves that this week's layout is all about him!! lol!)

Because these stamps are a part of the Taylored Expressions Giving Tree - they will come as a sheet and will need to be trimmed and cut - this is a way to save cost on the manufacturing so that more money can be given to this wonderful Foundation!
