Wonder and Magic of Christmas for Paper Players #418

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous die-cutting queen Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's a color challenge: Oh! I was so tempted to do something floral with this color scheme, but fought my instincts and decided to do a Christmas card instead! I purchased a new stamp and cut set from Hero Arts called Wonder and Magic of Christmas. I got it 20% off at Ellen Hutson during her sale! Poppy Parade is another one of those colors that I just NEVER use... it's way too bright for me. Generally, during color challenges,... Read more →

Poinsettia and Pine for Paper Players #325

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's my pleasure to host our final Paper Players challenge of 2016. I decided to go with a color scheme that I use a lot at New Year - I love the crispness of the white with the cool of the silver and the warmth of the gold. I've also been known to use this color scheme for Christmas dinner table settings :-) I had this idea going around in my head to use the poinsettia from the Poinsettia and Pines set to resemble a bow on a gift box. So, I heat embossed the poinsettia... Read more →

Christmas Snowflake for Paper Players #324

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Nance's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a theme for us - and one that is perfect for me today as I look out of my window and watch the snow slowly fall :-) We had 3 inches of snow overnight and it looks so beautiful outside. It truly is a winter wonderland! So, today's theme really is perfect and I hope you are inspired enough to play along with us this week. I decided I wanted to make a floating snowflake so die-cut two from Silver... Read more →

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's a color challenge. Now.... I have to admit this challenge did exactly that... challenge me.... mostly because I don't have Emerald Envy as a color in my portfolio :-) So, I had to look deep into my colors and find a color that resembled Emerald. However, I did have Real Red and Mint Macaroon :-) I decided to create a Christmas card and use the Mint Macaroon as the base for the label area. I tapped my Mint Macaron ink pad... Read more →

Happy Holidays for Paper Players #319

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. My apologies, but this is going to be a very short post. I have a hardware failure on my iMac and it is where all of my photos - and photo editing software are stored. Luckily, I had primed this post prior to the hardware failure. I need to get hold of Apple tomorrow to see how long my Macbook will be out of commission. In the meantime, here is the fabulous LeAnne's challenge for the Paper Players this week. As this is the 5th week of the month, it is a Tic Tac Toe challenge.... Read more →
