Farewell, Daring Adventure

Ann Schach May 27, 2013 December 11, 2014Uncategorized

One of my favorite sets is Daring Adventure, which is set to retire June 3rd. In fact, I used it to create yesterday’s The Paper Players card.

Before I say good-by, however, I would like to revisit two more cards from the archives created with this fabulous set:

If you do not already have this set, you can still order it through June 3rd (W 122600, C 122602). Need to check out what else is leaving us for good? The retiring lists are at the end of this post. Until next time…

Life IS a Daring Adventure for The Paper Players

Ann Schach May 26, 2013 December 12, 2014Uncategorized

It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the super-talented LeAnne has a fabulous sketch for us. I flipped it in its side, and pulled out the soon-to-be-retired Daring Adventure set and my Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper. I hope you enjoy today’s card!

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

Marker magic! Inking up a sentiment in multiple colors has never been easier thanks to Stampin’ Up!’s Stampin’ Write Markers. I selected Calypso Coral, Island Indigo and Early Espresso to make Helen Keller’s inspirational quote stand out!

Things that make you go “wow”! The Pool Party panel was just screaming, “Pearl me!” Once I got started adding mini-pearls, I just couldn’t stop. The result will make any pearl lover say, “Wow!”

Calypso coordination! What ties all of the panels together? A touch of Calypso Coral in each!

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing” is one of my favorite quotes. I must say that it seems to be describing my life at this point in time. I would have never dreamed that after retiring from teaching for 34 years, I would be spending my time in a balancing act between stamping and showing dogs. Whoever said I would have too much free time on my hands when I retired, certainly had no premonition of this wild and crazy adventure I call my life! And I LOVE it!

So…what do you think of today’s card? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me…and I do read each and every one of them! And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I create, or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Day Two of Canine Capers

Both Muffy and Lexi are showing in Day Two of the Bloomington, IL cluster of dog shows. I am keeping my fingers crossed that both girls can win their class and go for the big win! One of the winners from the National Boxer Show will be there, so it will be very competitive. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for sure! Which is it for you….Team Muffy?
