Paper Players 174

Yesterday was another pretty relaxing day. I got some crafting done, cleaned and organized my craft stuff. I need to make some room as yesterday started the Demonstrator Pre-Order for the 2014 Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration! I can’t wait to get my new goodies and show you some of the cool new products from the upcoming catalog. If you would like a copy contact me and I’ll get one out to you! Before I get to today’s post I wanted to bring you up to speed on all of the specials that Stampin’ Up! has going on.

Now, there has to be some goodies that you want! Did you do some Holiday shopping over the weekend for others? Well, today it’s time to get yourself some prezzies! LOL!

Now on to today’s post. It’s Monday and that means it’s time for the Paper Players! This week we have a fun challenge from Lovely LeAnne…

I was quite happy when I saw this because a little over a month ago I made a card that works perfectly for this challenge. I got my inspiration from Pinterest and I was saving it… just for this… yeah… that’s right! LOL! The base of my card is Gumball Green Card Stock. The little strip of paper across the bottom is from the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper Pack. All of my images are stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla. The pine branches are from the “Vintage” Watercolor Winter Stamp Set and are stamped and stamped-off in Always Artichoke. My circles are from various middles of stamp sets and are stamped and stamped-off in Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, So Saffron and Blushing Bride. I choose my greeting from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and it is stamped in Coastal Cabana. Finally some sequins are randomly placed in coordinating colors. I love the way the circles and sequins look like lights on a tree and the mix of colors is just fun! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players Evergreen challenge from LeAnne. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a marvelous Monday! 🙂
