Thanks for bee-ing you - Paper Players
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. This is going to be another short post. It's almost midnight and I am nowhere near caught up with anything that I had to do today - or, in fact, this entire week! It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a challenge that ...
Tami, your card is beautiful! I love the masking and the inked tree. That little swing makes me smile, too! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week! XX
Clean and Quick for the Paper Players
If you are like me, you always need Thank You cards. This week, the Paper Players (here) wanted a Thank You and the Can You Case It Challenge here was to make a Clean and Quick card. I pulled out one of my absolute favorite sets: Branch Out by Stampin' Up! I cut an oval from some chip board ...
Absolutely GORGEOUS! I would have never thought to put these stamps sets together! GENIUS!!!! XX
Pals Paper Arts 227 - California Thanks
Stampin'Up! Seasonally Scattered and Pleasant Poppies It's Thursday and that means it's time for the Pals Paper Arts challenge. This week it's another color challenge, and what a gorgeous color palette for fall it is. But there's one problem here in Palm Springs. The only thing we see this ...
Jaydee, I just adore the vintage feeling of your card. The Christmas themed background paper is gorgeous and oh, those holly leaves are fabulous on the music paper! I love the 3d effect of the curled leaves, too! STUNNING, My Friend! XX
Season's Greetings for Paper Players #220
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a theme challenge for us. Well, we all know that vintage isn't my style, so this challenge took me a little out of my comfort zone. I really wish I was more like LeAnne. Sh...

Friendship for Paper Players # 219
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Nance's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch challenge for us. I really liked the idea of the element at the top left corner but, when I made my card, I realized that I had not rounded the bottom right c...

Cupcakes for The Paper Players
Dear Readers: Well it's about time I posted something new. Funny how the days pass by faster and faster and I look at the calendar that hangs on my face and I think "that can't be right." Although the calendar says I had another birthday this month, I have denied it, scratched it of, even cut a ...
Debbie, your card is perfect! I love the little wreaths in the windows and that button is so clever! Great idea! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week! XX
Holiday Home for The Paper Players
Today, over at The Paper Players, Nance is challenging us with a super simple Sketch Challenge. My inspiration today came from the "Nordic Noel" Designer Series Paper. There's lots of bright, bold patterns using the traditional holiday red and green with a little twist of Soft Suede (a war...

Peace for Paper Players #218
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Sandy's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a CAS challenge with a twist. I have a Memory Box stamp that I bought many years ago and still love to use it on CAS Christmas cards. I knew it would be perfect for this ch...

This weeks Challenge from The Paper Players was to create a clean and simple card featuring gold or silver. I'm not sure I was successful in the clean and simple portion of the challenge but I definitely have the gold covered. Here's my card for this weeks challenge: I'm really not much of a...

Pals Paper Arts 225 - Sweater Weather
Stampin' Up! Holiday Cheer and Trim the Tree DSP It's Thursday and that means it's the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge. This week it's a sketch challenge by our own Nicole Watt and it's a doozie! At first glance it looks straightforward enough. But the more I looked at it the more perplexin...
Jaydee, this card is beautiful! I love the way you colored this image. It just pops off the paper! I don't have this stamp, but I might have to buy it after seeing your card! Thanks for the inspiration! XX

Striking Sock Monkey Birthday
I wanted to create a card for the My Favorite Things Stamp & Win Sketch Challenge (as I ask myself why I have none of their stamps that will work well in a circle). I needed a masculine birthday card, so I skipped over to the SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge in search of well ... insp...

Are You Scared Yet?
Happy Friday Fellow Stampers - How is everyone? Did you make it through the week? I am glad mine is over -- yes, its an "off-Friday" week for me. I've been struggling with a tooth and with not feeling well; today I go in to have the old filling drilled out and a temporary crown put on; I...

Featuring Stampin' Up!'s Making Spirits Bright - Raise a Glass
Today's card combines the Colour Me challenge #40 and the Monday Lunchtime Sketch #334. I liked the angled panel and the idea of stamping words repeatedly to create a border. For the background, I used the Crumb Cake side of one of the papers from the Under the Tree Designer Specialty Papers. R...

Endless Wishes for Paper Players #215
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Sandy's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch for us: It's been a while since I made an "inchie" card and spent a fair amount of time wondering what I was going to put in those "inches". Serendipitously,...
Mike, I have enjoyed working with you at The Paper Players. I will miss seeing your fabulous work and reading all your kind comments! I sure hope our paths cross again soon, My Friend! Your card is fantastic! This girl LOVES candy corn! I mix it with peanuts and eat it all Fall. The way you sponged each piece and the letters is so creative.

The Paper Players - Happy Fall!
Here's to Ann's "Happy Fall Y'All" Paper Players Theme Challenge. Fall is my favorite time of year. I enjoy the crisp mornings, cooler temperatures, beautiful colors on the trees, and finally opening the windows so the breeze can blow through the house. Yep, I'm ready, and it officially happen...
Love your card! It is so bright and happy! Congrats on your win and on your new home! It is gorgeous! XX
Wonders Never Cease!
It's true! I bet you thought I'd fallen off the face of the earth, huh? Well, fear not -- I am alive and well, if a little longer in tooth and wider in girth (I'm working on that, though. The girth part. Can't do much about the teeth. I suppose I could get veneers or something, but I digress). L...
