It's Spring for Paper Players #287
20 March 2016
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday.
I hope you are all having a great weekend! It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and, as yesterday was the first day of Spring.... I think you can guess what this clean and simple challenge theme is :-)
Of course I had to do a Spring challenge! Luckily for me, the Simon Says Stamp March card kit had the perfect inspiration for my card. The kit came with some pre-printed images on watercolor paper and I got out my watercolor paints and had some fun!
I love this image and it really was fun to color. Here's my card:
Isn't that adorable? It makes me smile just looking at it!
If you are looking for some inspiration, you need to check out the creations from our design team. Once you have done that, we hope that you will come and play along with us.
On a personal note:
Well, today is the 2nd day of Spring and it is also my birthday! In recognition of my birthday, I am announcing the chance of blog candy. I mean, what's the good of a birthday if you can't give a little present :-) I will be back tomorrow with all the details of what you can win - and what you have to do to be in the running!
In the meantime, I wanted to leave you with a look at my favorite Nuthatch.... he moved just as I pressed the shutter button... and he went slightly out of focus... but he sure knew that I was looking at him!
Have a fabulous Sunday and warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
Happy, Happy Birthday to you.
On your birthday
I wish you much pleasure and joy;
I hope all of your wishes come true.
May each hour and minute
be filled with delight,
And your birthday be perfect for you!
Happy Birthday Jaydee and hope you have a wonderful and joyful day.
Your Peep card is Adorable by the way.
