Heartfelt love and caring thoughts are perfect words of encouragement and comfort. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week I have the pleasure of hosting our sketch challenge, which features a sketch with a distinct “frame”. I had a ton of fun creating mine with “mitered” corners out of distressed “wood”. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The Country Woods designer series paper collection had exactly what I was looking for to create my “barnwood” frame for today’s sketch. Instead of going with one of the pieces that had more traditional wood tones, I went with the one that had some Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink and Pool Party in it. I then created a lovely bouquet of floral die cuts using the Painted Lavender dies. I was looking for a sentiment which would convey these specific thoughts, so I went with one from the retired Quiet Meadow stamp set. Punched out and matted onto a Misty Moonlight deckled circle, it was perfect!

Nueve’s Notes
Hi, everybody! It’s me, Nueve! I am home from a trip to Floor-dah. First, we saw my brother Brady and his wife Korin. They were having a big after – wedding party in Tampa. They brought me toys and played with me. Then I got to play show dog with Michelle. I won lots of ribbons. Here are two of them. I made sure to count them.

I also won a bed, but it was too little for me, ’cause I’m a big boy now. I gave it to Michelle ’cause she has babies that can use it.
Michelle was happy I was being such a good boy. She gave me a BIG hug!
But I was even happier when I won my new favorite toy! It squeaks really good. I played with it in the yard where we were staying. There were also lizards to play with, too. I chased them on the fence. One even got in the house. Mom caught it in a plastic glass and took it outside. Then she caught a second one. It was in the fridgerater. It wasn’t moving. Mom took it outside. It warmed up and ran away.

I had a fun time playing show dog with Michelle. I had a fun time going to Brady’s party. I also had fun playing with my new toys and yard lizards. Sometimes life is about having fun. I am a Working Dog who knows how to have fun! I am Good Boy Nueve!
