Paper Players Colour Challenge #19 (Jaydee's Colours) and Stamping 411 Sketch

Wow!  What a wonderful week.  I have to tell you, I am in a show, a musical and I am enjoying the rehearsal process so much.  The music is excellent and the story is fun!  We had a dance rehearsal last night and this morning I woke up feeling parts of my body I hadn't felt in YEARS!  But you aren't here to read about my body aches...hehehe....The lovely Jaydee has inspired us once again with a fabulous colour challenge this week at the Paper Players.  She has asked us to use Red, White and Black as our colours!  I LOVE this gorgeous combo and was so excited to play when I saw the beautiful inspiration picture she used for this challenge!! 


I had a great time making this card!!  I even cheated a bit and used some Natural White paper instead of Whisper White.  I had never ordered the Natural White paper before and I LOVE it!  It is much thicker than Whisper White and has a earthy fleck throughout it.  It would make a terrific card base!  Today I was making cards with my friends Trudy, Jane, Laurie and Katie.  We were making some "Contempo Christmas Cards" and having fun.  Then I went to Jane's house (Jane is affectionately known as "Janey Poo" and I am "Lesley Lou")we set up and organized her crafting space!!!  It was so much fun! She has a wonderful place now to make her cards and to craft away.  I also made this using the fabulous sketch over at the Stamping 411!!  It was a clean and simple sketch and I thought it showed off Santa perfectly!


I hope you get the chance to play along with the Paper Players this week and be sure to check out the blogs of the other Design Team Members!!!  I have added them here in alphabetical order.


Thanks for stopping by!
