Taylored Expressions Nov 2015 Sneak Peeks - 2016 Mini Tear Off Calendar (12 months and Frame)

Hi Everyone,

Today is the 3rd day of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions and I am so excited to show this project that I made using the absolutely darling new Calendar Critters stamp set and Calendar Critters dies with the 2016 Mini Tear off Calendar. This mini tear off calendar comes in a set of 10 (a set of 10, I tell ya!!! That is awesome!) !!! I wanted a way to display each month and so I took one of these gorgeous We R Decorative Wooden Frame  and I tore off each month to create a 4x6 panel that will fit into this frame. I created a little mini scene with each of these using the Build A Scene - Calendar dies that comes with a mini frame, fence, cloud, sun and grass set of dies... so so so cute!!! 

Here are all 12 months and one in the frame to show how you can display it on your desk or anywhere!!

Taylored Expressions Nov 2015 Sneak Peeks - Uplifting card set

Hi Everyone,

Today is the second day of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions! And today I am showing a sneak of some new 3x4 Watercolor Panels that are being released from TE - there are two packs of panels one called Uplifting and one called Keepin In Touch. I created a set of 4 cards using the Uplifting set of panels - it was so much fun to watercolor them and to get some fun creative therapy at the same time! I kept the layout the same and used the Beaded Lattice embossing folder on all four cards with a little button embellishment for all of them! Here are all 4 together:


Here is a peek at each card individually - Here is the first sentiment: "This is the day the Lord has made, I will Rejoice and be glad in it." - I love the swirls in this panel and watercolored using more of the green, red and yellow color scheme and then added some bling here and there:



I love this beautiful sentiment and used a wash of reds, oranges and yellows and then colored in the flowers with some reds and purples - love how this turned out!



The sentiment on this third card is something I feel like I need to look at all the time and remember everyday - Let your Faith be bigger than your Fears.... isn't it such a beautiful sentiment!


For last card, I used a white wash of blues and whites and then created some whitish magical orbs here and there:


Here is a closer peek of this card - I loved added a little bit of Pico Irresistible Embellisher here and there:
