Have A Wonderful Birthday-- PP355 and SSC 158

July 30, 2017

It's hard to believe that July is over and all the children will be back in school in the next few days.  Summer just flew by!

It is time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps!

I am so excited that I could combine these two challenge this week.  I am in Indiana to see my niece star in Grease.  She is playing the role of Sandy.  I am so excited!  She is sooo talented and we are very proud of her!









The fabulous Joanne is our hostess this week at The Paper Players!  She has a Tic-Tac-Toe board for us to play along with!  WOW--so many possibilities!


Sunday Stamps is featuring my sketch.  I thought it would be fun to make square cards this time.  You know, "It's Hip To Be Square!"  






My card is created on a white card base.  I added a yellow and white gingham background and used a coordinating plaid for the rectangle strip.  My sentiment is stamped on a white stitched square.  My flowers are from Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set and the matching dies are used to cut them out.  I used the Altenew Cool Summer Night inks.  The leaves are from the same set.  I added two banners from the matching DSP to complete the sketch.  A few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for fun.  My Tic-Tac-Toe row is the top row:  die cut, banner birthday.  Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create!  





Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.
