“Love you, friend” are three sweet words that too many times we fail to say. Why not let this card be your voice, and let it express just exactly how you feel. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, sweet Joanne is hosting our monthly color challenge. The trio of hues she selected is like a breath of spring, don’t you think?
My mind immediately turned to flowers. What about you? I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Today’s card is all about die cuts, specifically those created by using the Many Layered Blossoms dies. It’s a little time intensive, but simple to create. I will say, your arm will get a workout using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. The thicker detailed die was used to create a Basic White layer, while the thinner overlay die was used to create both a Pear Pizzazz and a Daffodil Delight die cut. Be sure to save the small leaf pieces to inlay! The smaller blossom dies were created from Mango Melody card stock, and sport rhinestone centers for a touch of bling. Add a sentiment of your choice, and ta-da! You are ready to send this card on its way!

Notes from Nueve
Uncle Jackie is gone. Sixxy and I watched for him to come home from the Boxer Doctor, but he didn’t come.
It made us very sad when Mom explained that he was with Great Aunt Muffy, Great Uncle Brody and Aunt Lexi. Mom explained that he was very, very sick, and was hurting very badly, and that he wouldn’t get any better, so we had to say goodbye. But we weren’t ready to say goodbye yet. We still had games of chase and “bitey legs” to play with him, and snuggles to give. But, we didn’t want him to hurt. Mom said that sometimes the most loving decisions are the most difficult to make, and this was one of those times. I tried to make Sixxy feel better by putting my paw around her, but she was “griefing”.
Mom explained that even though his body is gone, he will always be with us in our heart. Sometimes we feel like we can reach out and touch him…
or feel the warmth of his body next to ours.
Uncle Jackie, you will always be our hero. Sixxy and I are trying really hard to fill the big paw prints you left behind. We are trying to be the type of dog you would want us to be. We have learned from the best, because we have learned from you…
I kept my Mom company while she made today’s card, just like Uncle Jackie always did. It was really cold, ’cause we were in the basement place. It doesn’t have a fire window. Mom put a blankie on the couch, and turned on the TV for me to watch.
I was watching a really good show on Dog TV. Fuzzy little dogs were chasing a ball on a beach, and just when they were going to catch it, Mom switched the station to the Hallmark channel. I gave her “that look”, but she didn’t get the message I was sending her. She didn’t switch it back to my program. Now I’ll never know if they caught the ball!
I finally ended up just watching her make her card.
It made Mom smile when she saw me looking adoringly at her. Making Mom happy is the most important job I have. I am a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!

She even left scissors out where I could get them. I’m just a kid. I could have gotten hurt!
I was really upset. But, my Dad made me happy again. He went out last night and bought me my own pig, because I am a good boy.
Well, I have to go now. I have to help my mom clean up her stampin’ place, cause I’m a working dog. If she does a good job, maybe I’ll let her play with my pig, and give her a treat, ’cause I am Good Boy Nueve!
