Happy Spring

What better way to celebrate a beautiful spring day than with a “Happy Spring” card! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.

The amazingly talented Elizabeth is hosting our Clean and Simple challenge this week. The theme she selected for us is “Bunny”. How fun is that! I can’t wait to see what YOU create! But remember, this is a CLEAN and SIMPLE challenge.  Before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, keep in mind that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered

Oops, I did it again. I let the paper do all of the work, thanks to Storybook Moments, one of my all-time favorite designer series paper collections. It ticks off so many of my boxes: a vintage vibe, adorable critters, and lots of fun die cuts that can be used to create sweet scenes. Once again, I feel guilty about how easily this card came together. I used one of my favorite retired embossing folders to add texture to the card base. You might recognize it from Sale-A-Bration, Starstruck. Textured Notes dies were used to create a Basic Beige panel. Papa Bunny was cut from the designer paper using the Spotlight On Nature dies. The picket fence and bunnikins are die cuts included with the paper. The “Happy Spring” sentiment is from the Storybook Friends stamp set. Seriously, it doesn’t get easier than this!

Thinking of You

“Thinking of You” cards are the perfect way to lift someone’s spirit and let them know you care. Most importantly, you don’t need a “real” reason to send one. It could be as simple as the name implies – you were indeed thinking of that person. It’s Sunday and time to play at The Paper Players!

This week, the fabulous Stef is hosting our color challenge. What a delightful quartet of colors she has selected for us: Purple, Yellow, Aqua and Green. Of course, when I saw these colors, I immediately thought of flowers. However, there are so many ways you can use these hues. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

Today’s card was created using the Memorable Blooms bundle. Sadly, the dies have moved to the Discontinued List. However, the stamp set is still available. I LOVE this floral image from it. I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and used Stampin’ Blends to color it. The leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. For the blossoms I used Summer Splash, Fresh Freesia, and Highland Heather. The sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts set. It was inked in Gorgeous Grape. In case you were wondering, the foliage was die cut from vellum using the Memorable Blooms dies, and then colored with a Fresh Freesia blend. The gingham pattern from the Floral Delight designer series paper collection adds a cheery “pop” of yellow.

Hi, everyone! It’s me! Nueve! I got to go see Doc Rita Wednesday for my 6-week check-up. And guess what! I got good news! She said that even though I wasn’t putting all of my weight on my “owie” leg yet, I was doing better. After touching my leg and moving it, she took me back to the special room and took more of those strange pictures. She then showed them to my mom and dad. She said my bones were lined up perfectly. I’m not quite sure why she was talking about my bones. I keep them in a big plastic bowl in the living room. They are not lined up at all.

Maybe she was thinking about my ‘corns. I had them lined up so they could take a nap under the table.

Doc Rita did tell Mom that I could go on longer walks and that I could trot. I don’t have to come back to see her for THREE weeks. But I still can’t can’t run, jump, go up and down stairs or play with Sixxy or Uncle Q.

I watched them run and play for a long time yesterday. I stood by Mom and Dad.

When I got bored of just holding my sloth ball in my mouf, Mom played a very special game of fetch with me. Dad held me while Mom took Mr. Slothie to the middle of the yard and put him down. Then she came back and took my lead and we trotted out to get him.

We did this three times! It was so fun to be able to trot again! It made me really tired though. Sixx was really tired, too. She was my cuddle buddy while we took a nap.

My mom was so happy that I got a good report from Doc Rita. Dad was happy. Doc Rita was happy, too. Making people happy is my most important job. I am a Working Dog! I am Good Boy Nueve!
