With You I’m Never Lost

With you I’m never lost!  What a wonderfully romantic sentiment!  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

With You I'm Never Lost

For this week’s challenge, the sweet and talented LeAnne has a sketch for us. The three elements on the left can be any shape. In my case, I selected a Volkswagen van, a large circle, and a tree.   I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card was a fun one to create, simply because it features so many awesome die cuts from the He’s the Man designer series paper collection.  And there is absolutely no stamping!  In order to have the “With You I’m Never Lost” circle stand out against the delightful camping pattern, I added a Cajun Craze Deckled Rectangle, and then adhered the circle to it.  I LOVE these new dies!  The tree die cut was placed next, followed by the van, which was popped up on dimensionals.   I like the card better without the “You’re The Best” die cut, but I wanted to stay true to LeAnne’s sketch by including the sentiment.

Notes from Nueve

It’s me, Nueve!  I got more news to tell you! I got to go to another dog show!  I am so excited. I did really good, except for the Gigantic Man Judge.  He really scared me.  Mom said he was over 6 feet tall!  My dad said he was about 6 feet 5 inches tall.  But I don’t think either of them was right.  He was about a million of my feet tall, not just six of them.

I LOVE my new friend, Michelle.  She protected me from the Gigantic Man Judge!  She’s a lot of fun.  She tells me secrets.

With You I'm Never Lost

She tells me jokes.  Sometimes I don’t get them, but she laughs, so I do, too.

With You I'm Never Lost

She also points out interesting things.  Did you know there are dogs that don’t have any fur? And there are dogs that have spots all over their bodies? There are! There really are.  Michelle pointed them out to me!

With You I'm Never Lost

But most of all, I love Michelle because Michelle LOVES me!

With You I'm Never Lost

I got lots of pretty ribbons at the show!  And people clapped for me! I like working at being handsome and making people smile. After all, I am a working dog! I am Good Boy Nueve!

Clean and Simple Houses

Clean and simple houses are on the agenda for today, in an homage to one of my favorite retired stamp sets, Holiday Home. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

clean and simple houses

It’s clean and simple week at The Paper Players, and the incredibly talented Laurie has a great theme for us:  House!

Because I did not have a single current house stamp in my “collection”,  I opted to go retro, and use one of my favorite retired bundles, Holiday Home.  This is one of those sets which I will never sell.  It is perfect for creating a clean and simple card.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create.   But,  remember, by clean and simple The Paper Players mean cards that:

  • Have minimal layers and embellishments
  • Have plenty of open space
  • Are simple and uncluttered

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card maintains its clean and simple status with an abundance of white space.  The Splatters embossing folder adds texture and interest without adding the “clutter” of some of the fussier designer paper patterns.  A single rhinestone serves as the only bling.   Many of you will not have this stamp set, but the value of today’s post is in its clean and simple layout.  The next time you need a clean and simple card, consider this design.  The Stitched Rectangle layers are  quick and easy to create.   An embossing folder adds texture and interest, and there are so many fabulous ones from which to choose.  Top off your card with simple images of your choice, and you are ready to brighten up someone’s mailbox.

Yellow Flowers For A Birthday

Yellow flowers for a birthday!  This card will be winging its way to one of my friends who is celebrating their special day in May.  It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!

yellow flowers for a birthday
For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by World Bee Day. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used flowers, bees, yellow and black to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I LOVE polka dotted paper.  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 Basic Black panel for today’s card.  A few flowers, from the Hues of Happiness designer series paper, were die cut out using the Blossoming Happiness dies.  The sentiment, from Flowing Flowers, 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!

Notes from Nueve

Hi, everyone!  Guess what I did this week.  I took Mom and Dad on a walk in a park.  It had lots of trees, flowers and bees.  I think they had a great time smelling all the smells and seeing all of the peoples.  I tried catching bees in my mouf.  Mom screamed when I almost caught one. I guess you aren’t supposed to do that.

yellow flowers for a birthday

We sat beside a little lake that had turdles.  I don’t know what a turdle is, but there were boys by the lake and they kept yelling, “There’s a turdle!”  I got excited ’cause I wanted to see the turdles, too. But, I think their yelling scared the turdles away, ’cause when I went to look, I didn’t see anything that I thought looked like it would be called a turdle.  I saw some sticks, some rocks, and water.

yellow flowers for a birthday

There was a little island in the middle of the lake. It had pretty flowers.  Mom wanted to go over there and take a picture of me with the flowers. But, there weren’t any walk-over-the-water-boards.  I wanted to get in the water to go over there, but Mom wouldn’t let me.  She can’t swim like me.  She might have dwowned, and that would have been bad.

Instead we sat by a big gun and Dad took our picture.  If you look really closely, you can see the Missy Pippy Ribber.  It’s a really big ribber.

After we left the park, I took Mom to the pet store to buy her a Mother’s Day Gift.  I picked it all out by myself.  It squeaks, and feels bumpy in my mouf.   Isn’t it cute? I think she likes it a lot,even though she doesn’t put it in her mouf like she’s ‘posed to! I know I love it!

yellow flowers for a birthdayIt was hard work walking my Mom and Dad at the park. They kept wanting to sit.  But, I can handle the job.  I’m a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!
