Another Blast from the Past!

Welcome to August's Blast from the Past Blog Hop with Taylored Expressions customer creations, combined with the magnificent artistry of the Baker's Dozen! It doesn't get any better than pulling out some of those sorely underused older stamps and getting them inky (or in my case as it seems to be of late, inking them inky for the first time. I know - it's pretty much a sin!)  =)

Either way, I'm here with a little creation I made for my aunt. I used Celebrate Life and did a 180 degree rotation of the  the optional inspiration sketch by the uber talented Sankari.


I used the two single leaf images to create my own background in versamark on the pinky red paper and all supplies were from my Key Ingredients "Thanks for renewing kit". That's right - not only do I get a whole bunch of fabulous goodies every month for a great price, but when upon completing my subscription, I got a Thank You present! Sweet deal! I love those little leaves that were in with the flowers. The sentiment was split up with a little masking tape, to create a two layer sentiment, but it's my favorite TE font!
