Taylored Expressions September Studio Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to Taylored Expressions September Studio Challenge!! 

This is a monthly opportunity for the Taylored Expressions team to share what makes our stamping studios hum.  Each month we have a fun, crafty question or theme so we can share our favorites, some tips and tricks, stamping advice and more.

The theme for September is:

We’re continuing our month-long TE Birthday Bash celebration with a special birthday-inspired Studio Challenge! Sometimes all we need to help us create is to simply see something that is beautiful, cool, or unique. Did you know that Taylored Expressions has over 30 boards on Pinterest filled with crafty eye-candy? We’d love to have you follow us athttp://pinterest.com/tayloredexpress

Today’s challenge: choose a photo from Taylor’s Birthday Inspiration Pinterest Board to inspire a stamped creation!

I chose these adorable monster cookies...aren't they just the cutest!!!! My inspiration came from the colors and the adorable little monsters...don't you just love the big silly eyes!!!

My card features the little monsters from the Taylored Expressions Candy Monster set. The monsters were paper pieced with papers from Basic Grey's Green at Heart 6x6 paper pad. Copics were used to add a little shading and the googly eyes were adhered with glue. The Chevron Border dies were used to cut out the chevrons from the Green at Heart papers and the sentiment bubbles were cut with the Say What? Conversation Bubbles . They were stamped on Choice Snow White card stock with a sentiment from the Candy Monster set and a sentiment and bubble liner from the Say What? stamp set.  The sewing, distressing, and Baker's Twine finish it off. 

You are all invited to play along for a chance to win prizes and there will be several different ways to play along including simply having some fun on Pinterest or the option to play along and create a stamped project. Check out all the deets on the Taylored Expressions Blog!!

Four winners will be chosen at random from all contest entries to win a copy of the 2013 Taylored Expressions Catalog & Idea Book (a $9.95 value).  One Grand Prize winner will be chosen at random from all eligible entries to receive a copy of the 2013 TE Catalog & Idea Book AND a TE Stamp set of winner's choice...Whoohoo!!!!!!

How exciting is that!!!! You are going to love the TE Catalog and Idea Book...I have one and it's a fabulous resource for a lot of the TE stamps and lots of inspiration from the Baker's Dozen DT!!! If you are like me,  you will love to have a reference and idea book in your hot little hands so you can pick it up anytime you want...it sure beats squinting into a computer screen to find a little inspiration!!!

Now, you can see some awesome inspiration and lots of cloud ideas from the Baker's Dozen Design Team!!
