Hmmm, you might be thinking....why is Christine Sneak Peeking at Taylored Expressions?  Well, let me explain.

I feel so blessed to be a Canadian!  I was born in, and live in a nation that I am proud of.  It is immensely beautiful; vast, full of variety in culture, climate and geography.  I am free here to live out my faith, vote, raise my family, learn and grow.  It's a wonderful place to call home.  And while I've had the privelage of living in the US and Canada in my life so far -  and have loved both, Canada is the home of my heart.  So when Taylor from Taylored Expressions asked if I'd consider joining the TE Team in showing off this awesome new set celebrating my home country...of course I said yes!  Thank you so much Taylor for letting me play along!

Let me introduce Moka Karen!

Isn't she fabulous?  I already really loved the Moka Series from Nancy McKinney - and then to see a Canadian one was the icing on the cupcake!  I've colored her up with some copic markers cutting her out of the box style with my Nesties shape.  I tried to stay true to the real Mountie colors, only realizing too late that real mounties have deep navy blue pants, not black...but you get the picture.  Isn't the sentiment awesome?  So Canadian!  Apparently I say 'eh too.  Much as I hate to admit it :)  

I used one of Taylor's special send-off sketches this month too just flipping it to give the feel of the Canadian Flag behind her as well...

Here's another look at the details...

So fun!  I know she'll be great for all sorts of patriotic projects in our future.  

Here's the list of TE Team and Guests showing off creations today!
