Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash!


Guess who's turning TWO? Taylored Expressions! I'm thrilled to join in with a group of fabulous stampers to help celebrate with a Birthday Bash Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Laurie, you're right on track. When you're finished here, your next stop will be Ana. And if you just happened to stop by, swing by Taylor's blog to get started!

TE has just released a host of new stamps, which are all available in the TE store. Check out these awesome specials, too:
- Purchase ANY 4 full-size stamp sets and receive a free Binder Box
- Purchase ANY 8 A la Carte stamps and receive a free set of Stamp Storage Panels
- FOUR orders will be selected at random (one each day from Friday - Monday) to win a $25 TE gift certificate.

Among the new releases is an adorable A La Carte belated series. Every single one of these is right up my alley! I especially couldn't resist Belated Birthday - Stand Out. The birds are just way too cute!



The sentiment comes in two parts - perfect for finishing the inside:



I did my coloring with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. The papers are from Cosmo Cricket's new Togetherness mini deck, and the various die-cuts were cut with MFT's Die-namics.

Congratulations to Taylor on two years in business! Can't wait to see what's coming this next year!!

Thanks, everyone, for visiting, and don't forget to hop on over to Ana next!

Hugs,
