What better way to wish someone “Happy Spring” than with a bouquet of spring flowers! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, sweet Claire is hosting our Theme Challenge. What a timely theme she has for us: Spring Flowers. It won’t be long until the flowers of the season will greeting us with their lovely blooms. My card today is super easy to make. I can’t what to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Today’s card is easy-peasy, and can be made in a very short amount of time. You may be wondering “how”. The answer lies in the paper. The gorgeous die cut image which serves as the focal point is part of the Wildflower Birthday designer series paper collection. It consists of 12 sheets of patterned paper: 2 each of 5 double-sided designs, 2 each of 1 single-sided sheet of die cuts. In fact, the sweet Pretty in Pink gingham paper is from the same paper pack. I used the Perennial Postage dies to create the perfect setting for the flowers. The sentiment is from the Storybook Friends stamp set. Isn’t it a lovely script? I punched it out using an old Stampin’ Up! oval punch from back in the day and adhered it onto a Blueberry Bushel oval mat, which I hand-cut. The “trellis” is from the Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemora Pack. A trio of Regal Foiled Dots add the perfect bling. See how easy it was? The most difficult part was hand-cutting the oval mat for the sentiment.

Nueve’s Notes
Hey, Mom’s Stampin’ Friends! It’s me, Nueve. I know it has been a long time since I have talked with you. Sadly, I have some not so good news. Just when I was all ready to do ‘bedience stuff with my mom, I hurt my leg really bad. We were playing catch with my sloth ball in the backyard, and I must have landed wrong after I jumped up really high for it. I came back limping. Mom was really worried. When I was still limping the next morning, Mom took me to see one of my favorite friends, Doc Rita. Everytime I see her, she tells me I am handsome and she gives me treats. I like her. This time she took me back to a room where they take special pictures. She said I partially tore my Cranial Caudaul Ligament. It’s the same thing as an ACL in people. I’m not sure what either of them are, but Doc Rita, my mom and my dad were really worried. It made me so sad.
It made me even sadder when I found out I can’t run or play for 12 weeks. I’m not sure how long 12 weeks is, but I think it is very close to forever. Mom takes me outside on the leash, but only to potty. I have to takes meds and be really good. I can’t even go upstairs to the Big Bed, so Mom and I are sleeping downstairs in front of the fire box.
Mom is trying to keep my brain active so I don’t get bored and depressed. We play games, like “Which Cup Has the Treat?” and a really fun puzzle game she bought me. If I’m not better after all this rest, I have to have surgery. I don’t want that. So I am trying to be good.
I am going to work hard to get better so I don’t need surgery. I have to get better so I can get back to work. After all, I am a Working Dog. It’s what I do. I am Good Boy Nueve!
