Paper Players Challenge #62-Happy Birthday Wishes


Sunday is here and that means it is time for another Paper Players Challenge! This week I am the hostess and I have birthdays on the brain!  I have two big birthdays coming up this month and I need some cards for my stash! 


I am going back to the classroom on Tuesday and one of my major themes is Owls!  So I had Owls on the brain!  I decided to use my Owl Punch...which I absolutely LOVE!!  I need to use it more.  I also used the new Spice Cake Designer Paper and the Woodgrain Background Stamp that I bought because I was SO inspired my Nance Leedy!  She made me get this awesome woodgrain background stamp and I love it!!!

Would you like to order from me?  I have received some emails lately from people who would like to order Stampin' Up from me.  I am a Canadian Demonstrator and can sell Stampin' Up items to anyone in Canada.  You can order online in my Stampin' Up store any time 24/7...the link is HERE!   If you have any questions, please email me.  My email is located on my banner at the top of my blog.

    Lesley, that owl is so cute! Love how you used the same DSP as the background too! and I can see why you had to buy that background stamp, I see some great backgrounds with it!

    The owl is adorable! That is my absolute favorite punch & of course gotta have the matching stamp. Just seems to work with any occasion. I recently purchased the woodgrain stamp also & I'm excited to ink it up to use with my owl.

    How cute is this, Lesley! I LOVE the paper you selected and the way you showed it off with this layout. Of course, the coordinating owl is the perfect touch!

    ...trying again minus the typos...

    Whoooo made a fun card, this week? YOU DID!! Your layout is fabulous and suddenly I'm craving Spice Cake...DSP, that is! Ahh, that Nance and her enabling. I have been woo-ed by her creative persuasion a time or two myself. Hope today was great for you, my friend! Hugs! :)

    Oh I just love your dressed up owl. Have a great school year. I'm a retired teacher and feel a bit nostalgic today, but crating cards helps, right? TFS

    Lesley I love this card. The colors are awesome but the paper is what caught my eyes. Loving the back ground stamp too. It goes perfectly with the owl.

    Love this, Lesley!!!! Oh my gosh - that DSP, the woodgrain stamp and that adorable owl! And I'm totally with you - Nance Leedy sold me on the woodgrain stamp too! I wonder how many other people she has enabled?

    Lesley, this is just too cute! I love this owl for the simple reason we can make him different every time. I'm finding that I NEED this DSP and it's perfect on your little owl. Such a fun card!

    Looking forward to working with you over the next couple of months ;)
