Whew!! That was a lot to share, right?! Well, I am excited that it is time for another fabulous release from Taylored Expressions, and today I am going to share two projects with you.

First let me begin with...Relax...


Ahhh, this just makes me want to kick back on a beach with a nice frosty beverage and enjoy the sights and the sounds of the beach. I'm THRILLED about this set! Sooo many images and perfect for our upcoming family vacation to the beach this summer. The set is entitled A Day in Paradise and was illustrated by the very talented, Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line of stamps. This is a sophisticated Cape Cod themed beach set featuring 21 solid and open lined images perfect for card making, scrapping, home decor projects...let your imagination go wild! I am also sneaking in a little peek at the new Border Wave die. :) I went a little clean and simple and did some paper-piecing using My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Gertie for my patterned paper here. I colored my beach chairs in with Copics in E53, E55, and E59, and topped with ribbon and called it done. I love this card!!

Next is the super adorable Surf's Up set, illustrated by Doug Applegate for the Apple Doodle Ink line of stamps....

I just ADORE these little penguins and this little guy ready to cut some waves especially! I used the Wave Border die here again and love it layered on itself to really make it pop up! I stamped this cutie with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him in with Copics. Patterned paper is entirely from Pink Paislee's Hometown Summer. Super adorable, am I right?! :)

Well, the rest of the Bakers' with Taylor and Jami have even more to share with you so make sure you hop around for some wonderful inspiration! Also, don't forget to stop back by tomorrow for even MORE sneaks leading up to the big release this Friday, June 3rd at 8 AM PST!
