Thank you, Ms Lorie

Hi there,

for today's card... well, let's say it just matches many things!

Ms Lorie is one of my oldest boy's teacher and when I first saw her I wasn't too excited about her (which is the nicer version of what I really thought). But when I got to know her better during the last year I figured out how wrong I've been. She is the sweetest person ever. She takes great care of all her preschoolers and even of the moms. And whenever I had a question or needed some support (concerning bi-lingual..., where to get those songs, any idea where to find good kids books for bringing to Germany, ...) she was there to help immediately. I'm so thankful to have her as Mathis' teacher. That was my first thought when I saw Taylor's new stamp set that has been released in April...... *sigh*

The second thing is: Verve is having another huge release party- BEACH PARTY!!!! And to celebrate this Julee provided 5 challenges to win a bunch of goodies. And you all know how much I love winning goodies, right? So I took one of her sketches and my April Key Ingredients set from Taylored Expressions and went to work.

Love the DP, the colors, the ribbon ... and oh, yes! Every single stitch I made with the sewing machine was preplanned :-)) (that is the reason why I do not do quilting :::rolleyes:::)

Thank you for stopping by today - I wish you a wonderful rest of the week and hope to see you soon!

Hugs Tanja

Hi there,

I know I've already told you that I love the stamp set "The places you'll go" from Taylored Expression. But it is sooooo cute. That's why I used it again for playing with this week's challenge from Taylor.

All the paper I used is from the Key Ingredients Set for October. And guess what? The new KI set for November will be on the way very soon, yeah!! Can't wait to see what Taylor put together this time!!!

Thanks for popping in today - I appreciate each and every one of you!

Hugs Tanja

Hello,

how are you doing today?

A couple days ago I received my Key Ingredients set from Taylored Expression for October ... I thought I liked the one from September ... But October's KI are stunning!!! The DP is out of this world and last month was the first time I used Prism paper and I had a blast. So, when I got this kits (I ordered the christmas one too :-)) I had to use it right away. And with the challenge over at Taylor's blog I made this card for one of my little boys - he is sick with bronchitis and is pretty grumpy because he has to stay calm and quiet!!!

This earth paper from Cosmo Cricket (???) is awesome. And I absolutly adore this - I think it is artichoke paper from Prism. I kept the card simple without too much embellies - Mathis (my 4 years old boy - he always gives me the best critics ;-)) doesn't like to much on it.

Thank you for visiting me today - have a wonderful day

Hugs Tanja
