Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host the Paper Players challenge this week and I have a tic-tac-toe challenge for you: I decided to give everyone the chance to make a Christmas card, a fall card or any card with a butterfly. This was because our Antipodean friends are going into Spring and I thought they might want to make something less seasonal:-) I decided to go vertical on the first column: Tree, Christmas and Silver and/or gold. I have this super cute little stamp from Stamping Bella called Reindeer and Bird. It has a tree. It is... Read more →

I stamped the rose in shades of pink and the leaves in... Read more →
Hi Everyone Happy Sunday. I am very late with my Paper Players post today. I set the publish time and date for Monday instead of Sunday!

I looked at the background and thought it would be a great sketch to bring out some of the new DSPs I bought. I rarely buy DSPs these days, but fell totally in love with a new set from My Minds Eye called Blush. It's a set of pale blush, blue... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Laurie's (aka die-cut queen) turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a clean and simple theme challenge for us: So, I have to confess, I only have 1 Halloween set. It's an old Fun Stamper's Journey set and I love it! I pull it out at this time of the year - every year :-) I love this guy... I mean... take a look at these eyes! You can see that I added a little glitter around the edges, and on his beak - and added some black... Read more →
