Welcome to the September Blast from the Past Blog Hop!!

Welcome to all my delightful friends, new and old alike!! Hope you are enjoying all the beautiful creations from past Taylored Expression stamp sets!! If you came here by accident (or Divine intervention!) you will want to start from the beginning HERE, if you have come from the very creative blog of Charmaine , then you are in the right place!!

Here is my card and I'm celebrating the hop with a spot of CreativiTea. (I LOVE this set.) Ever since I ordered these stamps, I've been wanting to do a Christmas tea. Love holiday teas. I've also used the sentiment from Care & Comfort. I'm going to figure out a holiday project to make for our Ladies Ministry tea with this set! So many PossibiliTeas!!

Here are the ingredients and recipe to my card.
I used the above sketch as inspiration and all of the designer paper is the Basic Grey "Jovial" series. The cardstock is from the Taylored Expressions August 2010 Key Ingredient kit. I've used three different dies and my Cuttlebug (Provo): Spellbinders Nestablilites Label Nine, Tim Holtz Alterations (Sizzix) Brackets and Taylored Expressions Scalloped Eyelet Border Die. The ink I chose for the stamps is Memento, rich cocoa and I've used the Distress Ink, aged mahogany to distress around the edges (sentiment die, bracket die). The embellishments: Ribbon (Offray); poinsettia (my stash); Button (Foofala Bag o'buttons). I also used dimensionals to pop the sentiment and teapot. The finished card size is 5.5" x 5.5"



Thanks for dropping by and leaving a delightful comment, now you are off to enjoy LESA at Punkydoodle Papers (isn't that the cutest name for a blog!)

Go grab another cup tea and enjoy the rest of the hop!!
God bless!
