Greetings on this fine Friday! Another week closer to Fall! YAY! College football starts in two weeks and then it's full-on-Fall mode! I cannot wait! I hope you had a great week. Whatcha doing this weekend? I hope to get in some crafty time and then maybe a trip to the mall because I need to pick out new eyeglasses. I've been putting it off since it's such a big decision. I think this time I want something kind of retro and cool...I'll let you know what happens. I hope that you, my bloggy friends, have a super fun weekend!
Before I post the pics for today, I thought I would just shout out a reminder that all of the Taylored Expressions Baker's Dozen Design Team members have their own gallery with all of their TE projects! Here is the link to my gallery (CLICK HERE). Also, each stamp set has it's own gallery chock full o' crafty ideas. I hope you'll check it out!!
Today's card features some pretty products from my friend Taylor! One of my all time fav sets from Taylored Expressions is Birds of a Feather. Today's card uses that set with some beautiful, soft MME papers for a shabby chic feeling. Take a gander...
I let the pretty papers guide my color scheme. Mixed and matched tons of the paper and cut it into pennant strips. I used a very very soft yellow and cream for my main colors. This stamp set has a cool font for the sayings...
I made this pretty litte embellishment from the Bugabee Flowers Dies...Just a tiny bit of color and depth with a pretty pearl in the center. These little flowers are perfect for cards...just the right size!
Work in progress...
At the last minute I threw on some pearl swirls....why not?!!
Here is an image of this great stamp set (it also has matching dies):
And here is an image of those Bugabee flowers:
Thanks, as always, for coming by! Have a great weekend!
Awww this is so pretty! Love the soft sweet comfort colors!
Rah, rah, sis boom bah!!!

This is so so so PRETTY, Wanda! I just love it!
Hope you have a super weekend. You should check Costco for frames. I found some nice designer styles last time I needed glasses.

What a sweet card, Wanda! I loooooove the soft feel to this. Such pretty papers and all those little banners showcase the patterns in such a fabby way. Love the bird and his birdcage and love the pearls. The little flower is the perfect touch, too.
Hope you have a great weekend! Good luck finding some new glasses. :)

SUPER sweet card..love all the sweet colors!
Love to see your new glasses when you get them...I always tend to get almost invisible glasses..I really dislike wearing them..so don't want them to show of much.(..make me feel a granny)
This weekend need to make cards for Annette(examples)and still need to finish one more B-day card.
