Sometimes I have difficulty expressing how grateful I am to have certain people in my life. I have found that when that happens, a lovingly created card can express my gratefulness more eloquently than I can. The sentiment, “Grateful for the Everyday Magic of You”, is a perfect way to let someone know how much they mean to you. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s theme week at The Paper Players. For PP762, sweet and lovely LeAnne has selected the timely theme of “Thankful for You”. While I usually love to create “leafy” cards in the colors of the season, I went an entirely different route. Today’s card mirrors the magical beauty of nature and was perfect for a card that honors how grateful I am to have a certain person in my life everyday. I can’t wait to see what YOU create for this week’s challenge. But before you gather up your stamps, papers, and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible “Teamies”, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Today’s card is one where the Light & Wonder dies and cardstock do all the work. Using the gorgeous Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper as my color inspiration, I die cut snowcapped mountains from Basic White with a Smoky Slate overlay. Pretty Peacock hills were layered next, followed by Blackberry Bliss trees in the distance. The larger trees in the foreground were die cut from Gorgeous Grape. The die cuts were then strategically placed on the designer paper so it appeared as if we were peaking through the forest at a beautiful mountain lake. The sentiment, from the retired Something Fancy stamp set, was hand cut and accented with a trio of simple rhinestones.

Nueve’s Notes
Hey, everybody! It’s me, Nueve! Guess what! We got to go Trick-or-Treating at obedience class Thursday. We got cookies, and all we had to do was wear our costumes. Sixxy’s costume was the BEST. She went as a diva.
Uncle Q was a “handsome devil”. He looks scary! His horns were sparkly and his tie had diamonds on it.
As for me, I was a unicorn. My mane was made of gorgeous feathers and my horn was gold.
Mom made a Howl-o-ween card that had all three of us on the front. She even made our noses look our real noses. I have lots of pink, Sixxy has her freckles, and Uncle Q is just kind of gray. She gave me angel wings ’cause I am a such a good boy.
We had lots of fun on Howl-o-ween and wore our costumes the whole time. It made my Mom and Dad smile. It made all of the other people at the class smile, too, especially when Sixxy wagged her tail and her whole skirt was wiggling. Yep! Making our people smile is just part of our jobs. We are Working dogs, and I am the bestest. I am Good Boy Nueve!
