Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop March

Welcome to Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop for the month of March! The Blast from the Past Blog Hop showcases all the great work of Taylor's customers. If you would like to join us next month, stop by Taylor's Blog for all the details.

I used the sketch provided for today's hop as my inspiration.

I love little houses, so I could not resist getting the Cozy Cottages stamp set. My houses are colored with Copics and the background is sponged. All my papers and embellishment are from the March Key Ingredients kit. I used the Picket Fence Border Die for my red fence.

I added a sentiment from the stamp set. I wanted it to look like a sun so I just hand cut the edges.
That is it for me! Now grab a cup of coffee and take a look at all the great projects in the Hop.
