You’re so Tweet

I’m here with a sample for Taylored Expressions Sketch this week, designed by yours truly. Being ‘liberty lori’, I made a little adjustment to my own sketch with the square panel. Cute Taylored Dies made this too fun and too easy.

For the first time ever, this card has already been mailed and should be at it’s destination…the home of one of my dearest friends…before this blog post goes live.

About 2 months ago (I know! I totally meant to do this weeks ago!), I celebrated a milestone birthday. I turned 40. It was good. I knew it would be good, but I had no idea how good.

For days surrounding my birthday, envelopes kept showing up in bunches at our home. Incredible handmade cards from people I have come to respect and love through papercrafting. They had banded together to do a little birthday blog hop for me, and it was all orchestrated by this beautiful, beautiful lady I’m blessed to call my friend, Jami Sibley. So, this card is for her…a thank you for making my day so special across the miles.

This card came together quickly with Odds and Ends paper from Cosmo Cricket and Birds and Branch die from Taylored Expressions. I couldn’t resist making a little nest from linen thread. The layers are cut with Taylor’s From the Heart Frame die and Spellbinders Labels Nine. The sentiment is from Taylor’s set Tweet Hearts.
