Quill You Be My Valentine? PP375 and Stamp Ink Paper #131

January 7, 2018

We are back from our holiday break and ready for  our first challenge of 2018 at The Paper Players!  We are so excited for you to join us!

The sensational Sandy is our hostess this week and she has a fun theme challenge for all of us.  It won't be long until Valentine's Day, so it is a great opportunity to get started on your stash.



I own a LOT of stamps, but this was my only stamp set with a "Punny" sentiment.  I was excited to find it in my stash.  This little angel made me smile!  

I am also entering my card in the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.  They are all about "embossing" this week and that is my favorite thing to do on a card.  






I added a picture of the wobble spring on the back of my angel.  I thought this made the card even more fun.  I bet one of my grands will pull him right off this card!  LOL!  



Need some inspiration?  Visit the blogs of all the members of our DT!  You won't be disappointed!  This week we're welcoming a brand-new Guest Designer, Elizabeth and welcoming back Annie and Jan.  We're delighted to have all of them with us!

I have been featuring some of my favorite holiday moments.  I shared a very special evening with my dear friend, Leah.  We celebrated her "50th" birthday by attending the Jennifer Nettles concert with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.  We had a fabulous dinner and the concert was AMAZING!  I am a huge Jennifer Nettles fan. I love her voice and she is a Native Georgian.  


Have a fabulous week!

HUGS!
Claire
