Freshly Made Sketches: Give Me Coffee!

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jen Mitchell.

As I was looking through my unused stamps, this stamp set caught my attention and made me giggle.  I don't know why I haven't used it before.  The images are all cute and the sentiments are so funny!!  There's nothing fancy or creative about my card - it's all about this image!!

I LOVE coffee.  I'll drink it black and I'll drink it loaded with sugary flavors - as long as it's coffee! There are definitely mornings when I feel like someone might get hurt if I don't get my coffee.  I'm leaving this stamp set on my desk because there are definitely other images and sentiments I need to use!
Be sure to check out the rest of the design team at the FMS Blog!  Then be sure to play along - we love to see what you create!

Taylored Expressions Clearly Planned: Faith Hope Love

It's the second day of sneak peeks for the May release of new Clearly Planned stamps from Taylored Expressions.  All of the new products will be available on Thursday, May 18th!

The Clearly Planned line of stamps is focused on planners - but there's no rule that says they can't be used for cards!!


This release includes a number of Christian stamps.  (Check out the TE Blog to see sneak peeks of all of them.) I love them all but the set that I used on this card is a must-have!  There are so many sentiment combinations with each component being separate so you can do different colors on the sentiment - or put a word on a banner!!  (BTW - I did that banner by using Banner Stacklets 1, cutting half way, then rotating the die and cutting the other half.)

Taylored Expressions Clearly Planned: Hinged Insta-Frames

Taylored Expressions has a fabulous line of stamps for planners called Clearly Planned.  I am most definitely a planner gal. My lists make me feel good because once something is written down, I don't have to stress over remembering it - my planner will!!  I do stamp in it - although usually just one or two stamps a week - simply to make me smile when I need it or to give me encouragement.  So I have an extensive collection of the Clearly Planned stamps!!

Here's the best part - they work perfectly on a card too!

There's an exciting new release coming this Thursday, May 18th!  Today I want to give you a sneak peek of a new die set - Clearly Planned Hinged Insta-Frames.  I saw the largest frame and decided it would work perfectly with any Grumpling in my collection!


Isn't this pretty from the outside?

But look at what happens when you open the little window!!  (I love surprises!)


There are so many stamps that will fit in these frames.  My favorite Clearly Planned set for my planner is Clearly Planned Sneak-a-Peek.  How fun will these little animals be peeking out of a frame?  (And there's more cuteness in this release that will fit too.)

Be sure to check out the Taylored Expressions blog for all of the details and to answer the question of the day for a chance at a prize!!!  I'm back tomorrow with a fabulous Christian set for planning and for cards!
