Paper Players 244

DSCF9811

Happy Sunday and Happy Mother’s Day to all!  I am the hostess at the Paper Players this week and I’ve got a color challenge for you:

I think these colors are sweet enough together to be used for a feminine creation, but they could be used just as well for a masculine creation, and that’s just what I did:

I am kind of stuck on Guy Greetings lately…there are so many great masculine images as well as sentiments, and I remembered that I had these cool dies from My Favorite Things (although I believe they are retired) that would work perfectly with the nautical theme I was going for!  They were also perfect for the Match The Sketch sketch this week too:

First, I stamped my sentiment in Lost Lagoon, along with some “rope” from Sea Street in Sahara Sand, and cut it out with a circle die:

stamped the logbook from The Open Sea in Pistachio Pudding, diecut another circle and added an anchor diecut:

and repeated that with the world map image and the wheel diecut:

I added some Candy Dots and Linen thread for rope and mounted them on some stitched circles from Lil’Inkers in Lost Lagoon.  Finally, I stamped the inside:

I thoroughly enjoyed creating this card and I now need to hide it away so DH doesn’t see his own Father’s Day card, LOL!  I hope you’ll play with the Players this week with my color combination!  You can see what the other designers created right here:

John was burning some pallets at the burn barrel on Friday and found a little red toad.  I am so thankful that Cassidy is not afraid of “critters”!  She held it willingly, although at one point, I thought she might squeeze it to death, but she let it go into the yard and then encouraged him to hop into the flower bed!

I can honestly say that in 60 years, I have never seen a red toad!  Upon doing some research, I am pretty sure it was a Fowler’s toad!  And a few minutes later we found a normal toad…not sure what its name was….and he got released down by the creek:

It’s fun to share nature with her!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Paper Players 237

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Hope you all are having a great weekend so far!  I am the hostess at the Paper Players this week and I’ve got a sketch for you:
I just couldn’t decide what to put in that horizontal panel; I really wanted to stamp something, but in the end, pulled out some of my neglected Maritime DSP and the cute Sea Street stamp set:

I stamped Mr Octopus in Coastal Cabana, and his friends in Night of Navy and Real Red, then added a sentiment from the Project Life photopolymer set Remember This:

Life IS good, right?!  I am also entering this in the Male Room's Under Water theme!  A new challenge to me, thanks to Deborah!   I hope you’ll play along with us this week, and share your creation with us at the Paper Players blog!  Meanwhile, check out what the other designers created:
We had a little surprise snow on Friday, what we call a nuisance snow, because it really didn’t stay too much on the roads:

Saturday morning, it was sunny and frosty:

Can spring be really here?  I think Cassidy is going to “whistle” it in!!!

Enjoy your day!
