The Paper Players #713

The Paper Players team honored me with a 'Cut Above' award for my little tag card last week - thanks, team!  What better way to say thank you than with another card?  Ann has a fun Sketch for #713 and I knew just the set I wanted to play with again - it was 'singing my song' so to speak.

First off, here is Ann's sketch:

After looking at the wonderful cards the team has made, I'm quite

certain there should have been TWO panels on the card front.  Well,

by now you know I often forget these details - oy.

I found a way to 'indicate' them with embossed lines - two directions.

See if you can spot them...

PB's Sing Joy was the main ingredient I mentioned - a very sweet friend sent me

the coordinating dies for my birthday - aren't I the luckiest?  Among them were those cute little musical notes!  The treble clef and journal card are from another gift and the 'sheet music' I stamped on the panel is PB's Music Background.  

The sentiment is one of those I'd Betterpress-ed.

Thank you, Ann, for starting my week off on the sweetest notes!

Thank you, Paper Players team for this honor!

Word Power #5

Hello again, my friends!  There is still time to leave a comment on my 10th 

Blog-a-versary post for a chance to win that prize!  Find all the details here.  One comment per visitor, thanks! 

I have been busy for weeks going through 10 years of supplies, and deciding it was time to let go of a few things when BAM!  I was given a huge stash of supplies from a sweet cousin who decided it just wasn't for her!

Among her supplies was a big supply of sentiment sets!  Today, this one called my name:

This will come in handy one day, I'm sure of it... and whose day wouldn't be

brightened by this Anita Jeram bunny?

I stamped and clear heat-embossed the sentiment on a sweet journal card cut with an

Elizabeth Crafts die that a friend just traded me for a few sets from my cousins' stash.  

The embossed panel in the back is from another crafty friend - and

added the prettiest texture for my CAS card.

I used a barely damp brush to add a little inky color to the bunny and his 'brolly' -

with a few added 'raindrops' my card was done!

Even though that bunny is a cute distraction, I feel it's the words that represent my heart - perfect for my friends at the Word Power #5 challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
