Weekender with Wanda – Sending you a smile with Taylored Expressions!
Hello my crafty pals! Happy weekend! What are you up to? I’m getting super excited about leaving for Phoenix this week for the CHA Convention! So I’m working hard to get organized and make all the projects I want to post next week. Thinking about seeing my friends and colleagues. It’s all good! We are fully into the new year now and it feels refreshing and new – time for new goals and a new start at things. Welcome back to the latest edition of Weekender with Wanda. Happy to have you here!
Today I’m sharing a project featuring stamps from one of our favorite companies – Taylored Expressions! Simon Says Stamp carries over 900 products from Taylored Expressions in our store! Wowza! So many wonderful things to spark your creativity. One thing I love to do is make cards for my crafty friends. So today I made a clean and simple, and cheery card with some paintbrushes and a sweet sentiment. I used my Copic Markers to color the images and pretty paper from Echo Park.
The sentiment on this card is from a stamp set that I LOVE – called C’mon Get Happy! I used my MISTI tool to line up the words next to the jar of paint brushes and I also used the MISTI to place the little bird right where I wanted him on top of the words.
The little bird is from the Sunshiny Day stamp set and the paintbrushes are from another beautiful Taylored Expressions stamp set called A Life She Loved. The artwork on the images all works so nicely together.
I started this card with a crisp white A2 card base. I layered papers from Echo Park to make a bright background for the focal images. I added a strip of Kraft cardstock and pretty twine underneath the Stitched Circle die. If you wrap twine around your card, use foam tape for your top layer – that gives just the right amount of room for the twine to fit underneath.
Sometimes in my posts I like to share a technique and sometimes, like today, I want to share a card layout. This layout for today is a great way to use your patterned papers when you have one main image. It can work for any occasion and in any color palette. This little note today is to send YOU a smile – hope it worked!
Happy Creating in the new year! Thanks for coming by today!

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net
from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites
for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
