Today’s “Just A Note” card celebrates the start of spring with a palette of pastel hues. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s sketch week at The Paper Players and the sweet and lovely Claire is our host. Her sketch is right up my alley. As I’ve mentioned before, I am a “Card Gardener”, so I could not resist spotlighting a delicate die cut nosegay. However, this is such a versatile sketch. The sky is the limit as to what you can feature. In fact, I can’t wait to see what YOU create! But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible Design Teammates, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
My “Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine” arm certainly got a workout with today’s card! The backdrop features the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder, while the banner was embossed using the Crosshatch pattern from the retired Basics 3D embossing folder collection. You know me and texture! Then there were the die cuts. The Gallery Blooms dies were used to create the flowers in shades of Fresh Freesia, Cloud Cover and Lemon Lolly. Foliage was die cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the Scalloped Wishes dies. These dies were also used to create the Scalloped Oval, the two Petal Pink blossoms, and the two Soft Sea Foam reeds. But wait, there’s more! The horizontal band was created using the retired Scalloped Contours dies and the retired Many Hearts dies. The sentiment, stamped in Basic Gray, features a stamp from the Fragrant Layers set. It was cut out using the coordinating Fragrant Layers die. Whew! Like I said, my cranking arm got a workout for sure. All that was left to do was to add Pearlized Faceted Circles, the perfect finishing touch!

Pretty In Pink
What little Princess doesn’t love to dress up? Sixx is no different. Her “Aunt Rose” made sure that Sixx had a new pink skirt for spring. Needless to say, it was a BIG hit! She had to wear it, even while playing fetch.
Tail wags were in order. When you feel pretty, you just gotta let it show!
By the time you will be reading this, it will have been a busy weekend for the boys. Nueve and Uncle Q are competing in the first obedience trials of the season. We will be sure to let you know how the boys do! As for Sixxy, she will be there cheering them on!
