Keep Shining PP208

August 10, 2014

The Paper Players Challenge this week is a beautiful color combination.  The lovely, Nance is our hostess this week!  I must admit, when I looked at the four colors, I was a little nervous wondering how I could pull this off.  But, my card came together and I am thrilled with the outcome.  I hope you enjoy it, too!



You will be amazed at the fantastic designs using these colors that the Design Team created!  I am in awe of the samples this week.  


I made this card of my niece, Sara.  She is a Senior at Indiana University (my alma mater)!  I am so proud of her!!!  She worked as an intern for Proctor and Gamble this summer and was offered a job as soon as she graduates in May!  She is certainly going to "KEEP SHINING"!  








Her favorite color is coral, so this color combo worked perfectly for her card!  Don't you just love it when that happens!  

Please take a minute and leave a comment.  I always love to hear from you!

I used sequins and a window die that I had in my stash.  The rest are all Stampin' Up! Products:
