“Your friendship means everything.” If you find it difficult to express your feelings, let a card do the talking for you. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, the sweet and talented LeAnne has a fabulous sketch for us. I am such a fan of great sketches, and this one is definitely a wonderful one. I went with floral die cuts as my focal point, but I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
Colors Of The Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I am a die cut fanatic, especially floral ones, and the rectangles on LeAnne’s sketch seemed like the perfect place to put one…or two. I used the floral die from the Wonderful Thoughts die collection and created two bouquets from Basic White cardstock. I used a water painter to add soft hues of Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, and Lost Lagoon. I had forgotten how much fun it was to watercolor with water painters. Although it doesn’t show up well in the photos, the Soft Shimmer papers in Bubble Bath and Lost Lagoon add a lovely subtle sparkle.

Nueve’s Notes
Hey everybody, it’s me, Nueve! Guess where I have been! I have been in Almost Heaven. It was a long way away from my house in Iowa. It took us 4 meals to get there! When we got there, we got to go to a park. Mom and I had our picture taken in front of the Almost Heaven sign.
We also got our picture taken in front of a big gun. Mom read the sign to me, and it said it was a cannon. It’s name was Long Tom, but I don’t think it comes when you call it. It was from a war a long, long time ago before even Mom was born.
There were other places to visit in the park. They had a big map to show you were to go. Mom was pointing out places. I was hungry and just wanted to eat. But I was polite and looked anyway.
Luckily Mom decided we should go back to the motel so we could eat. I was super hungry. I had crunchies with pieces of chicken. Mom always packs the best meals for me. After I ate, I guarded the room for Mom and Dad.
I love going places with my mom and dad. I’m a good traveler and a good protector. It’s all part of my job. I’m a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!
