If you have a friend who is singing the “Birthday Blues”, then maybe this birthday card in shades of blue will cheer her up! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s time for our monthly Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, and LeAnne has a fun, fun, fun board for us. I selected white, ribbon, and birthday. I can’t wait to see what YOU select! Have fun!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Does this layout look familiar? It should! I loved Jaydee’s sketch from the last challenge so much, I just had to use it again! Striped paper from the You’re A Peach collection forms a lovely backdrop for a Misty Moonlight die cut, created using the large Artistic die. A “pop” of Poppy Parade ink adds color, while Bumblebee gingham ribbon adds texture. The entire card reminds me of seersucker, the quintessential summer fabric!

It’s Me, Muffy!
Muffy here! My wheelchair arrived, and I LOVE it. Mom adjusted it so that my rear foot doesn’t drag! Plus, it holds me up if I stumble. I can’t wait to go on longer walks. In the beginning my walks should be limited to ten minutes until I build up more strength in my shoulders, but that shouldn’t take too long. I asked Mom if we can make signs to hang from the back of it. She said we could. That should be fun!
Hopefully, I’ll be back to chat next week. As always, please be patient with my Mom if she doesn’t post a lot or email right away. Chances are, she is helping me…”

OK…. I LOVE the new photo…. if it’s not new I can’t believe I missed it! So glad you enjoyed the sketch and were inspired to use it again this week. I love the florals against the strips. the ribbon is the perfect touch and as for Muffy… what a sweet baby!

What a beauty!! I love the blue stripes!
Love this card Ann – those stripes and gingham ribbon are so summery and definitely cheery for a birthday! Love that Muffy is getting around better – that wheelchair is so clever!
Amazingly simple and beautiful, as usual Ann! I especially love the gingham ribbon. Hope you’re enjoying your week.
Stripes always bring a card to the next level in my opinion! This is really pretty Ann! Onto bigger news….Muffy got his wheelchair! That is so awesome! I hope you continue to have major success with him and he adapts really well. My hubby has put signs on his bike for the last 14 years. He is retired now but rode his bike to the school where he taught. They change with what is laying heavy on his heart and most the time reflect hope. He continues to change them still even though he isn’t working as we ride our bikes often. Take care!
I just love how you’ve combined stripes and bold colors with the delicate die cut for this card, Ann! It’s beautiful! Glad to see Muffy is able to be more mobile.
I don’t think anyone could be blue if they received this for their birthday! The blue/yellow combo is so classic and the DSP shows off the fancy die cut so well! Have a great rest of the week!
Great simple card for summertime. Way to go, Muffy! You’re going to be the “star” of the street in no time.
Beautiful card!
Muffy looks like a pro with that wheelchair. Happy to hear it is working out.
I love the colors you chose for this beautiful card! The diecuts look so cool with the DSP behind and that ribbon is scrumptious!
Cute card! Sweet Muffy!
