Would you like to brighten up someone’s day? Just drop this floral friendship card, in shades of freesia and navy, in the mail. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, sweet and talented Joanne has a beautiful trio of colors for us. Aren’t they stunning together? I opted to create a slimline friendship card. I can’t wait to see what you create!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I just love it when a card makes itself, and that is exactly what this card did. It showcases one of my favorite designer papers, Hues of Happiness. This paper features these gorgeous flowers, many which coordinate with the Blossoming Happiness dies. The “trellis” die, which is also part of the Happiness Abounds bundle, is perfect for adding texture and interest, too. While this card looks like a tough one to tackle, the paper and the dies do the work for you. It does take a little time to create, but I think the “WOW” is worth it.

Notes from Nueve
Hey, everyone! I’m so excited. I traveled a long way in the van and stayed in a motel and went to a state fairground and showed in a dog show and had so much fun! My mom took lots of pictures.
My mom packed a bag for me. I helped her pack it. I brought my favorite red ball. It’s got places to put yummies. I don’t wear necklaces at home, but Mom made sure I had a necklace on, just in case someone accidentally let me out of the room. This necklace belonged to Uncle Jackie. It has sock monkeys on it. My mom made sure to cover the bed with a sheet from home, just in case I was ‘lergic to the soap the motel uses to wash their blankies. I thought the bed was really comfy. I fell asleep watching cartoons.
The next day we went to a special place called a fairground. This was the Ill of Noise State Fairground. I know my dad sometimes gets ill of noise, especially when Sixx barks. I don’t bark, ’cause I’m a good boy. This place was HUGE and had lots of buildings. My mom and dad took me on walks all over the place. I saw this big cow. It’s not real though. But, I think I smelled real cows in some of the buildings.
My good friend, Michelle, was there. My Mom handed her my “take-me-with-you-rope”, and we went inside the biggest building I have ever seen. There were hundreds of other dogs there. I was so scared, and shaking, but Michelle loved on me, and made me feel better.
I found out that Michelle had showed Great Aunt Muffy in dog shows, and she was going to show ME! I was a little scared, but you know what? I thought about all of my family who had showed before me. This is where Uncle Jackie and Aunt Kia had their first show. This was where Great Aunt Muffy had one of the biggest wins of her ‘reer. I am a working dog, and I realized I had a job to do! And you know what? I WON!!! I did it! I WON!!! My Mom was so happy she cried. She wanted to take lots more pictures. She was so proud of me, and that made me proud of myself.
Michelle gave me a kiss on the head, and told me I was a good boy!
On the way home, we stopped at McDonald’s and I got a cheeseburger. When we got home, Mom put my pretty ribbons on the fridgerdater so I could see them every day.
Being a show dog is hard work. But, hard work is what I do. I am a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!
