Paper Players 84

Hi everyone!  It's Sunday, and that means a Paper Players challenge for you!  Today is my turn to hostess, and I have a sketch for you!  Don't panic---it doesn't have to be complicated with lots of layers--you can make it as simple or complex as you like!  Just make sure there are three elements going down the center--you know I like "threes"---and a sentiment across the bottom!  Here's the sketch to get you started:

And here is my take on it:

I put the SAB set Elementary Elegance to work here, pairing it with some Beau Chateau designer paper, stitched on a Very Vanilla panel and mounted on a Marina Mist card.  Each of my three images were overstamped with a portion of the flourished frame, as was the sentiment embellishment:

I even added  a little cut-out crown to top the embellishment!  I hope that you will play along with us this week and share your creation with us over at the Paper Players blog!  While you're there, be sure to check out what the other designers created with the sketch!  Thanks for visiting today!

Paper Players 79

This will be a quick post today, as I am hosting my Hostess Appreciation party for my club girls!  I am so looking forward to spending time with my friends!  Today, Jaydee is our hostess for the Paper Players, and she has a clean and simple challenge:

I went really CAS on this one:

We were using the Creative Elements set last week at club and one of the stampers remarked at how nicely the flower fit the top of the scalloped tag from Two Tags…..it was a real “wow” to me!  So I took that idea and made my birthday tag using other elements from that set, as well as Elementary Elegance, stamped on  the Pink Pirouette tag in Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose.  Here’s a closeup:

I added a little watercolored shading around the edges of the image, and then embellished my tag with a 3D flower:

The sentiment is also from Elementary Elegance.  The background is Patterns DP in Regal Rose & Pink Pirouette. 

I actually had made another tag card the day before, using a premade tag that had been sitting on my desk for ages (one of my New Year’s resolution---finish the projects on my desk!) and embossed hearts:

I just didn’t like it as much as my PP one!  Thanks for visiting today and I hope you can share your CAS tag creation with us over at the Paper Players blog!

Mojo 222 Birthday

Happy Monday!  No babysitting today, so I was able to make a birthday card for a friend who loves purple!  A monochromatic card using Wisteria Wonder and some new sets, coming right up:

I used the Mojo 222 sketch from Mojo Monday:

and here’s the inside:

Sets used were Elementary Elegance,  Fresh Vintage and Petite Pairs---new sets (except Petite Pairs) from the new mini or Sale-a-bration catalogs.   I am having so much fun with them!

I have been on vacation from babysitting this past week, so I don’t have any fresh pictures….this is from Christmas day…that glazed look when kids are enthralled by the TV or computer screen!  She got a little baby Leap pad:

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the ColourQ!
