Welcome to TE Release Week for August 2012! I'm so glad you're here...and we're gonna have some creative fun this week. Lots of back to school projects and other good stuff. All of the new products will be available in the store on Thursday August 9th at 8:00 am PST http://www.tayloredexpressions.com/ . Also please join us on Facebook for the Preview Party Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm PST - you will get to see the full sets at that time and that there are lots of prize drawings! The preview party is big time fun and moves fast. Lots of winners!
Today I'm featuring the cute Little Schoolhouse Stamp Set from the Apple Doodle Ink collection. It's perfect for those back-to-school teacher cards and projects. I used a sentiment from another set - Moka Gwen, and some cute clouds from yet another set - Doodle Notes. Lots going on in this card! LOL. This was a fun card to make.
I hand cut, free form, three layers of green paper for my "hills" and then put my elements into the scene after I colored and cut them out. I made a heart using a die and some pretty red felt. This is an easy way to make your own embellies! The Back to School sentiment is from the TE Moka Gwen set....
I love using a basic kraft card base for my cards lately. All the other colors seem to really pop off the kraft. I colored and cut out the fun cloud/sun stamp from the TE Doodle Notes set. You'll be seeing a lot of that set this week!
Remember....this is just day ONE of four fun-packed days this week with new TE things. Be sure to come back every day! :-)
Here's your list of links for this fun Sneak Peek day!

Oh, this is just too, too cute, Wanda!! What an adorable scene you've created here and what a brilliant mix of stamps! I so love the layered hills and the schoolhouse and sun and tree. Could not be cuter, and such fabulous coloring, too. Really sweet way to do your sentiment, as well! Can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeves for the new release!
