Taylored Expressions February "Blast from the Past" Blog Hop

***If you are here for the Stamper's Dream Blog Hop, please scroll down or CLICK HERE for the post.***

Yep- I have another post today!  I know...I told you earlier this week that I have a lot going on at the blog and just not enough days for all of it! Tee hee!  It has been great fun though, and I really hope you are enjoying all of the projects and such.

For this post, I am participating in Taylored Expressions February "Blast from the Past" blog hop!!  I love participating in this blog hop every month, because it makes me utilize my TE stamps more often!  And now that I have been a guest designer for them for two months, I have even more stamps to use {once they get past the required time of being released, of course!}  The blog hop this month is themed around "green", and could be interpreted however you liked.  I chose to utilize it in the most common form...the color, and used multiple shades of green on my card.  

"Missing You" supplies: 

Cardstock: Core'dinations

Paper/: My Mind's Eye (Quite Contrary: Day Dream, Zig Zag, Owl Be There)

Stamps: Taylored Expressions (Love Everywhere set)

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: chestnut, teal) 

Ribbon: Renaissance by Design

Twine: Darice Inc. 

Flowers: Recollections

Jewels: Glitz Design

Glitter: Ranger Stickles

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Instructions:  Fold teal cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners.  Cut a cloud paper block slightly smaller than the card, round the bottom corners and adhere.  Cut a zig zag paper strip, cut a flag shaped end and adhere.  Cut a flag shaped end to a peice of ribbon, and adhere to the top of the zig zag strip.  Tie a bow at the top, and then top the center with a twine bow and green paper flower.  Trim the edges of a journaling card and round the bottom corners.  Cut the trees, clouds and owls from patterned paper, and layer them together on the journaling card.  Stamp the bench, cut out and adhere to the card.  Add a cut out owl to the bench, then stamp the sentiment to the right of it.  Adhere the entire journaling card to the front of the card using dimensional adhesive.  Cut out another grouping of clouds from patterned paper, and adhere to the upper right corner.  Accent all the clouds with Ranger Stickles, then accent below the sentiment with a paper flower & clear jewels to finish. 

As always, we were provided with an amazing sketch by Sankari Wegman that we could utilize if we chose to.  Of course, I used it...I love her sketches!!  Here it is so you can check it out, and use it yourself sometime if you'd like! 

I really hope that you liked my sweet little owl themed card!  Thanks for all the lovely comments lately...I read every single one of them and cherish them!  So- thank you, from the very bottom of my heart...I appreciate each and every person who happens upon my little crafty blog.  ♥♥♥

Until later,
