Change Can Be Beautiful

Can you believe that today is September 1st? The first day of Fall will be here in three weeks. With Fall comes the changing of the leaves with their subsequent dropping resulting in a gentle rain of color.  With Fall comes the onset of crisp, cool nights, Friday night lights and evenings by the fire. With Fall comes apple cider, apple pies, and all things pumpkin spice.  With Fall comes change, and Mother Nature, in her wisdom, teaches us that change can be beautiful. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players…

Change Can Be Beautiful

The amazingly talented Joanne is hosting our theme challenge this week. She has selected Spots or Stripes. How fun is that?  While my card is a celebration of Fall with patterns in Cajun Craze, I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

You know me. I have a passion for polka dots. When I received the Iconic Celebrations designer series papers, I was thrilled to discover this Cajun Craze polka dotted paper. I paired it up with Pretty Peacock cardstock for a rich color palette. For contrast, I used the Autumn Leaves die cuts to create Copper Clay and Soft Succulent leaves from Tartan Foil paper. Sadly this paper is now unavailable in the US.  But on the bright side, there are lots of great papers which can be used. Stampin’ Up! has the BEST papers.  I used Dry Brushed foil paper to create the die cut veins and twigs, which made me think about how gorgeous THIS paper would be in creating leaves. I can’t wait to try it out…

Love and Joy

“Love and joy come to you” proclaims the beloved holiday carol.  What a lovely wish for friends, family and neighbors, don’t you think? It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.

love and joyThis week the amazing Jaydee is hosting our sketch challenge.  What a fun sketch she has for us! I created a square card and flipped the sketch on its side. My “Any Shape” is an arrangement of holiday foliage, accented with golden bells. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Season of Green & Gold designer series paper, available as an Online Exclusive, is gorgeous. With designs ranging from gold-foiled elegant patterns to classic favorite designs like dots and plaid, this collection was a “must have” for me! Of course, I couldn’t resist using the dots and plaid patterns to form a lovely backdrop for the greenery and gold foil die cuts. The bells were fussy cut from another pattern. What a golden delight they are, as this picture shows!

Nueve’s Notes

Hey, everybody! It’s me, Nueve.  I haven’t got to talk with you much ’cause Mom has been very busy. She says I have to have Super Vision to use the ‘puter. I don’t know why. I think I see very well with just regular vision. Anyway, we have been taking a break from the dog shows ’cause Sixxy had to have a special operation so she can’t have puppies. Mom has been taking care of her.

love and joy

Mom and Dad talked about whether they wanted to be a puppy grandparents, but something told Mom to take Sixxy to the vet.  It’s a good thing she did, ‘ cause when they opened Sixxy up to take out the place where puppies are baked, Dr. Rita said things were not right. If Mom would have waited longer, Sixxy might have died! Dr. Rita also removed TWO bumps. AND Sixxy had 9 loose teeth. That’s probably ’cause we play tug and I am stronger. When Sixxy got home from Dr. Rita’s she had to stay by herself. Mom made her a special place so Uncle Q and I wouldn’t step on her and hurt her owies. She can’t run or play or climb stairs for a very long time.  Mom is sleeping on the floor with her.

love and joy

Uncle Q and I guard them so nothing gets them.

love and joy

When Sixxy is resting, Mom takes Uncle Q and I outside to run and play. I jump for joy ’cause I love playing with Mom.

love and joy

We play with my sloth ball. I call him “Mr. Slothie”. He is my favorite toy.

love and joy

And even though Uncle Q is getting old, he can still run FAST!

love and joy

Sixxy still has another week of re-cooper-ating. She can be with us as long as Mom has her pretty pink leash on her. She still isn’t ‘posed to run and jump.  But Uncle Q and I can’t wait until she can run and play with us again. In the meantime, I’ll keep on watching over her. Watching over the ones you love is just one of the things I do. I’m a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!

love and joy
