Paper Players #43 ~ CAS Sketch Challenge

This week at the Paper Players, Jaydee has designed a clean and simple sketch for you to try! I loved the sketch and decided to take my card tall instead of wide.  I asked Jaydee, and she said it was ok to do that!!!! Thanks Jaydee!

I have a whole pack of the Sweet Stitches Paper and I haven't really used it, so I got it out for this card!  I just love these sewing machines...this paper is really fun!  My colours are Daffodil Delight and Rose Red with a Garden Green Button.  As you can glimpse inside, I used some more paper on the inside of the card to finish it off.

The button is left over from my Christmas stash!  I threaded the button will a little piece of Whisper White paper, I love that trick!  The Rose Red Ribbon is from the Clearance rack, gotta love that!  The Punch is the decorative Label punch which is quickly becoming one of my favourites.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you get the chance to head on over to the Paper Players Challenge Blog and join us for this sweet and simple sketch this week!

Paper Players Challenge #41 ~ Recycling Theme

Hooray!!  It is Sunday!!!  Today we have a brand new Theme Challenge at the Paper Players!  LeAnne is our hostess this week and she is challenging us to Recycle!  Yikes!  I really had to put my thinking cap on for this challenge. 

I looked all over my house for something to recycle or repurpose...and then I found it...an old notebook in a bin downstairs in my craft room. The outside of it was all beat up but the paper inside was still good. 

I quickly decided to use the "Sweet Stitches" designer paper from the Occasions Mini.  I've had this paper for weeks now and have never used it!!  Well I picked out this pretty, feminine paper from the pack and went to work!  I also played with a new stamp set called "Four Frames".  This set is not in any book yet!  It is a promotion for this month!!!  I will be chatting more about the promotion in coming posts!  I inked up the new stamp in Rose Red and stamped it on Vanilla Paper.  Then I punched out the image with the "Decorative Label Punch" which goes with this new stamp set!!  I also added a Iittle flower and a glimmer brad, to make it extra special because I decided I will use it for a sketch book...that is why I called it "Happiness". I love sketching card ideas!!!

 

I wish you could see the book in real life...the photo does not do it justice, I just could not get a good shot of it today!  I hope you like my project and join us this week at the Paper Players.  The design team has come up with some amazing projects!  I also hope you get a chance to check them out by visiting the Paper Players Challenge Blog and of course, you can check out the project of our April Guest Designer Jen from I Create.  
 

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know!  I would love to hear from you!  Enjoy your Sunday!  You know, I really think this would be a darling project for my class to do.  We could make little books for Mother's Day!  I am so happy we are doing this Recycling Challenge, it was fun to make something different!!
