Anne Taintor Inspired

The fabulous challenge over at Moxie Fab is to get sassy: the Taintor-Tude Challenge (replicate the famous design and style of Anne Taintor). I searched a couple of nights for images, thought a couple more nights for the "sentiments" corresponding to the images, and spent a few nights putting them in a card format (ie. editing in photoshop, printing the panels out and then adhering to a card base and adding embellishments). Finally getting around to posting them. I admit that I'm not a witty person, nor am I really that sassy... But, I AM a graphic designer and love to create, so I based all my sayings around card-making (I have so many more that I came up with, I might share them later in a non-card format.) I realize now that a couple other gals were on the same track as I was, man, great minds sure do think alike! Regardless, I hope you can take a minute to see what I've come up with and perhaps smile once or twice...or even laugh out loud!

She knew she was a genetically blessed crafter.



She was the hostess with the mostest



Yes dear, our outfits would make delightful patterned paper



Why yes dear, I do hoard embellishments



Little did he know that his paycheck went towards the new releases!



So there you have it. Ever experienced any of these? I think I shall give them out to my fellow crafting friends, my mom and my relatives to brighten their day! I used so many different supplies so if you are interested to know what they are, please email me. The bottom two layouts were based on the sketch at 2S4Y.
