How about another round for your birthday? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players.
This week, the talented Anne Marie is hosting our theme challenge. What a fun theme she has picked for us: Food and/or Beverages! Today I am showcasing one of the bundles from the recently released Annual Catalog called Brewed for You. This bundle contains a cute variety of glassware with coordinating dies, and was perfect for creating a birthday card for one of our friends. He actually brews his own beer! I can’t wait to see what food and/or beverage you showcase on your card!
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This is one of my favorite layouts for showing off the new Dots & Spots die. I LOVE polka dotted paper, and thanks to Stampin’ Up!’s new Dots & Spots die, I can create polka dotted paper in any color combination I want. It was a breeze to create this Daffodil Delight and Merry Merlot panel for today’s card. A mug and a glass, filled with frosty beer, along with a glass of merlot, form a fun focal point. The sentiment was die cut out using a Stitched Rectangle die, and matted on top of a die cut banner made with a Stylish Shapes die. Easy peasy!

Nueve’s Notes
Hi, Everyone! It’s me, Good Boy Nueve! Boy, have I got news. I got shot. Mom took me to Dr. Rita, and she gave me a shot in my neck to protect me from Dee’s Zeesas. I was a good boy, though. I didn’t move at all. When we were done, I got a treat. I found the pocket where Dr. Rita keeps them, and she gave me another one. People who work for Dr. Rita kept poking their head in the room, and telling me how handsome I was, and what a good boy I was. I felt really special. When we left Dr. Rita’s, Mom and Dad took me to the park. We had fun! We got to sit on the slide. I look gigantic in this picture because of how Dad took the picture.
We also had our picture taken by a big rock. Mom said someone named Pike raised a flag here in 1805. It was the first time anyone raised a flag in what would become the state of Iowa. Mom said this same man later had a whole mountain named after him in a place called Colorado. I thought that was kind of funny. Here he has a rock. There he has a whole mountain.
When we got home from the park, I made a new friend. It was a funny looking bug. I wanted to play with it, but it must have been tired. It didn’t want to play.
I thought it looked like it was holding little flags. I named it Pike, like the man from olden days who raised the flag in the park.
I also got to play show dog last weekend with my friend, Michelle. I got more ribbons.
I got to go back in the show ring a second time that day, but Michelle had to take another dog in, and couldn’t take me. So, I got to go back in with Stacy. She is nice. Her mom took our picture. You can’t tell it in this picture, but her shirt was really sparkly. She was feeding me treats. I like her. Her dog is named Panda. He is HUGE! He’s a Saint Bernard.
Well, I have to go. Mom is telling me she has more things to write. Maybe I can help her. After all, I am a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve.
