The Paper Players Theme Challenge: "Music"

It is Sunday and that means a new "Paper Players" Challenge! The lovely LeAnne is our hostess with the mostess and I am SO excited about her theme this week...MUSIC!  I love music, started as a music teacher and had a wonderful stint as a professional singer on stage. 

My card features a brand new set to me, "Jolly Bingo Bits"! I inked up the cardinal in this set. I also used the Music Wheel to make some music notes that I punched out with the new 1" Square Punch and then matted with the Scallop Square Punch. I love my punches!

The ribbon comes from a Christmas gift I received last year, I kept the ribbon for cards this year!  I just LOVE to recycle. I used some of the new Mini Bells for this card too...to go with the music theme.  The background of the card is created with the new snowflake embossing folder and the sentiment comes from "Four the Holidays".  I wish you could see the card in person, because I used the new "Dazzling Details" glitter glue for all of the snowflakes in the embossed background, it REALLY shimmers!  Right before I took the picture, I smudged my thumb in some Espresso Ink and got it on my card!  Argh!  Hopefully you won't notice it.

I hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!  Cindy Hall is joining us as our October Guest Designer!  Welcome Cindy!

Paper Players Challenge #14-Clean and Simple

This week at the Paper Players Challenge Blog we are encouraging you with a Theme!!  Jaydee has created our theme this week, one of which she is the Queen and that is Clean and Simple!  Yeah!  I love to make Clean and Simple cards!

So I decided to use the awesome sketch that Stamping 411 had last week and created my card.

The Designer Paper is from the Big Catalogue and is called Jolly Holiday.  I LOVE this paper!!  I used a strip of it underneath my main image on Old Olive cardstock and punched out an edge with my pretty Eyelet Border Punch.  The main image is called Dasher and the ribbon was created using the new 1/2" Seam Binding ribbon in the Mini Catalogue...it ties so nicely!  The sentiment comes from the set called "Contempo Christmas".

Come on by the Paper Players this week to check out the other DT samples and to link up your Clean and Simple Card!!!  Click HERE to get there!
