Blast From The Past!!!
Welcome everyone!! I hope you're enjoying Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past Blog Hop!!! I know I am.
My project tonight uses one of my favorite TE sets The Places You'll Go. I love this set mostly because I grew up reading Dr. Seuss, Where The Wild Things Are and I'll Love You Forever myself and then to my own kids when they were little.
I stamped my images in memento tuxedo black ink and colored with prismacolor markers before stippling Stampin Up! bashful blue ink around the outside edges and layering my balloon with Stampin Up! sage shadow and pretty in pink cardstock. I matched some Prima Pretties flowers I had in my stash to some Memory Box designer paper and Michael's organdy $1 ribbon with some Stampin Up! pretty in pink ribbon to finish off the front of the card, while the inside I just used the Prima, designer paper, and one of my favorite sayings from this set.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know,
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go". Dr Seuss
Isn't this so true?
Tomorrow I'll be posting a card using my second favorite saying from this set combined with another one of my favorite TE sets.
Now continue on the blog hop for some more fabulous Blast From The Past eye candy!
