TESC110 Top Crops & TE Sponsors CPS Sketch
Welcome back to Monday! We had a wonderful weekend around here! The weather was beautiful and we were so blessed to be a part of the Des Moines CureSearch walk on Saturday. There was a great turnout (over 2,000 people) to walk in support of children currently battling cancer and in remembrance of those who have lost their battle with this awful disease. It was a hushed and powerful moment when Darrin’s name was called and a rose placed inside a vase in his memory.
Another amazing moment came when the fundraising totals were announced. The total raised for all teams participating in the event was over $120,000! Every penny raised is one penny closer to finding a cure and preventing more families from being affected by childhood cancer. Taylored Expressions was proud to be a part of this fundraising total with your help! We donated $7.00 for each You’re My Hero stamp set purchased during March & April and we’ll continue donating through the month of May. Thanks for making a difference!
So now for the TESC110 Top Crops! It was super fun to see all the patterned paper scraps you were able to use up with last week’s sketch! Here are this week’s winners:

I know this post is getting super long, but I think you’ll want to hear this next announcement! Taylored Expressions is sponsoring the CPS Sketch Challenge this week! You can head over to the CPS blog to check out the fun sketch and see how you can enter to win the TE stamp set of your choice! This is the card I created using the sketch. I was feeling in a summer mood so I grabbed my Beach Bum stamp set for the sketch card. It’s hard to see in the photo, but I sponged a cloudy sky over Cuppie. And I decided to mix it up a bit and get out my Prismacolor pencils to color the image. The patterned paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Joy Ride collection.
There’s also still time to sign up for the TE Blast from the Past blog hop! It’s for anyone and everyone who has Taylored Expressions stamp sets released in 2008 and 2009 and wants to ink ’em up! You can find all of the details here.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
