Indian Summer Moment

by Erika Taylor

Hi Everyone, Erika here and today is most definitely a good day.

I've been paper crafting since October 2008, but you could always find me with scissors, glue, crayons and construction paper when I was a little girl. Creatively, I love living outside the box. I am very eclectic and sometimes look from one project to the next and think "Did I make both of those? I love creating anything from cards to layouts, altered pieces to tags and ATC's. I'm starting to try my hand at jewelry using stamping products as well. I definitely have a few favorite products and love creating with them. Spellbinders Dies, Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and anything Tim Holtz. Although I've just started down the Copic path and I know they will soon be a staple as well.

I am so looking forward to sharing my art with you and I know this year will be jam packed with amazing projects from this years Design Team. I’m so blessed to be a part of the Frantic Stamper Design team and I’m grateful that you are all here taking the journey with me. Today I’ve got a great little card to share with you using some of my all time favorite papers from Basic Grey. The Indian Summer line is so unbelievably versatile and I love the richness of the color palette. Add some Grungeboard and some glimmer mist and this is what I created:
