The Paper Players #767 - I see you Jaydee!


It was so fun when I opened the newest challenge at The Paper Players this week -  Jaydee is our host and it sounds like I may have had a little influence on her seasonal shopping!  I won't apologize as this is one of those 'sorry not sorry' instances!  Be sure you head over to PP767 to see Jaydee's card!  

Just for fun:  I see your hand, Jaydee, and have found the perfect gift for it!


In fact, this little shopping bag die from WF was a gift from my lovely friend Stephanie!
and I'm pretty sure I cut this snowy panel at Marcia's house.  The sparkle is another of
those wonderful papers from my cousin... you could say this is the card that 
wouldn't be as fun without my generous friends!


Last but not least is the square frame from Waffle Flower Crafts that provides
my Grinch Hand from Kat Scrappiness to sneak in - or is it out? hmmm. lol
The papers are some from Scrapbook.com's Merry collection.

You've given me the perfect chance to play with this guy again, Jaydee - thanks so much!

Cute, CUTE card Michele...I just love that grinchy hand!! I'm not recognizing the snowy die cut background, but that doesn't mean I don't have it...I've got so much I don't know what I do have! But anyway, your card came together beautifully and it's always fun to be inspired by others!! Hugs. :0)

How fun is this! That package must be for Cindy Lou Who! Love the sparkle and ... no surprise, his polka dot sleeve!

Oh, Michele! Between you and Jaydee, I have no choice but to buy this die! lol I love the pink shopping bag, and the Grinch's polka dot sleeve. Of course, the sparkle is the icing on the cake. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!

LOVE it, and Jaydee's card! You inspired her (along with the purchasing), and she inspired you to play -- sounds fair to me. Your card is yet another fun whimsical card, and definitely one to love

Dear Enabler, how wonderful to see this little guy again. You won't believe this, but I took out exactly the same die and almost used it instead of the ornament on my card. I thought it would fit perfectly and, as you have shown us, it works beautifully! I love the background with the little bit of sparkle, too. So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week and thank you for all your support during 2025. Merry Christmas
hugs
jaydee

Oh. My. Goodness! Like Jaydee, I bought this die set as soon as I saw your first post with it. Unlike Jaydee, I have not used it yet. And Now This!!!!! How incredibly clever!!!! (no suprise). I am going to have to make some version of this as I have the bag die as well. You really are something!

I love this sweet bag with the tiny tag and I even like that the Grinch has his hand in it! What a fun card, my friend!

hahaha LOVE it Michele, that Grinch hand can just about hold anything, and this cute gift bag is perfect!

A regular hand just wouldn't cut it after seeing the many ways you (and Jaydee) used Grinch's hand! Love this and it makes me smile every time!

Stef Perry said...

Michele, I think you influenced nearly the whole team to join the Grinch club lol! And rightly so, with the fabulous inspiration you've provided with this gorgeous card (and the one for FMS the other week)! The shopping bag and the sparkle peeking out from the snowy background panel are such great fun! Thank you, my friend, for joining the Paper Players this week, as you have for so much of the year!

Very cute indeed! Who knew the Grinch could be so... well, Christmassy! Love the sparkle and snowy mix in the background. Thank you for sharing with us again at The Paper Players and for your lovely contributions throughout the year. :-)

Michele, this is just adorable and you've given me an idea for a tag or last minute card as I have that bag and the "regular" hand and mechanism piece to make it move. Thanks for always enabling new ideas for the rest of us. We recently watched The Grinch for the very first time ever after your fab first Grinch card recently. Merry Merry!!
