Now on to this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. First the sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch:

It's another liberal take on Taylor's sketch, but I couldn't help myself! Is this some kind of disease? Unable-to-follow-sketches syndrome? LOL! Ok, I really wanted to use this fun stamp from Norma Fickel's spring/Easter release at Whiff of Joy Stamps. This stamp is called Spring Joy. Such a delightful image! =)

I was experimenting with shooting my cards at different angles. Sorry if they look weird... =) The lovely patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday collection. The ribbon is from Fancy Pants Designs. And the sentiment is from this versatile set by Hero Arts.

Well, that's all I have for now. Don't forget to check out what all the other members of the TESC Sketch Crew came up with for this sketch!! Here are the links:
