Slow down weekend! Sunday is here already and I would love one more day to rest! The weeks are counting down to Christmas much too quickly and my list is way too long this year! So much to do and so very little time! So with all that said, today at the Paper Players, "Chef AM" has a recipe challenge ready for us! And boy, did her recipe cook up a fun Christmas card for me to make! Thanks AM...I have one less Christmas card on my list to make!
- I decided to ink up this adorable digital stamp made by Arielle Gordon of Wax Fruit Company, I loved the image as soon as I saw it and knew I had to have it because I love to colour!!!
- The image just screamed fun bright colours to me and so I paired the image with some scraps of designer papers I had in my stash...a piece of Real Red, Pool Party and Old Olive striped papers. I layered them over each other and matted the "panel" I created with them out of black cardstock.
- Do you see the glitter on those pretty ornaments? Check! So far I have 3 pattern papers, and a sprinkling of glitter. I needed to add two different ribbons and a punch!
- I remembered this Tags Christmas stamp set from SU that was out a few years ago and stamped the sentiment on Poppy Parade paper and then punched it out with my Wide Oval Punch. Punch Check!
- The ribbbon is some Doodlebug Doodle Twine that I have in my stash. I went with the blue and red colours. Two different ribbons...check!
- The ornaments are coloured with Copics.
We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week! Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creation and to give a warm welcome to Susan Joyce, our November Guest Designer at the Paper Players.

Lesley, great job with the challenge. Using the twine as your ribbon was genius and really fits with the fabulous focal image. Love it! I want the weekend to slowdown, too! My two week vacation has gone far too quickly!
