It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!  Jaydee has provided us with a fun sketch today which inspired me to pull out Sale-a-bration’s Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper.  This paper is so yummy, with its sorbet colored hues.  I hope you enjoy my little collection of paper snipped Vivid Vases.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Snipped!
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.

• Snipped! I inked up the Vivid Vases stamp with Jet Black StazOn three times, stamping it onto three patterns from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper collection, available as a Sale-a-bration freebie.  I then snipped them out using my trusty Paper Snips.

• Banner banter! A trio of banners were cut in Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe and Summer Starfruit.   The sentiment was selectively inked on the main stamp simply by using a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.

• Color me coordinated! The fabulous background paper coordinates perfectly with all of the colors selected.  I just could not resist using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as the perfect accent!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.  It was very easy to create…although it did involve quite a bit of snipping. I can’t wait to send it out…and the other ones I will be creating with the left-over vases!  I was very tempted to switch out the flowers in each vase for blossoms of a different color, like a Pool Party vase with Crisp Cantaloupe bloom. But I also like this uniform look.  What do you think?  Won’t you let me know in today’s comment?  Your comments are important to me.  And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I make or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Hey, Lexi Supporters…we have wonderful news to report! Lexi is on the road to recovery.  I daresay it is nothing short of a miracle.  This is what Lexi looked like Friday:

You can’t see it very well in the picture, but all of her little vertebrae were showing…

as well as all of her ribs.

And here is my little monkey Wednesday morning:

She has definitely gained weight!  She is eating her prescription dog food like a little piggy.

Just look at that sparkle in her eyes! 

But on this cold rainy night, Muffy is still snuggling close.  We visit the vet again on Friday.  I can’t wait to see the look on Dr. Rita’s face when she sees the improvement!

Thank you so much for all of your emails, support, and doggy prayers. They have meant so much.  Heartfelt hugs from Lexi and me.  Until next time…
