PP692 Patriotic Friends

Happy Sunday, peeps! Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Jaydee as our hostess! It's theme week and what a fun one Jaydee has chosen:


Where would we be without our friends, right?!  So let's go!


I bought this Technique Tuesday stamp several years ago, just for this image, I loved it so much! I used it ONE TIME....and it went missing in my stamp room.  I tore everything apart and never found it.  Fast forward to about a year ago, I was looking through some vintage-type papers in one of my folders and lo and behold, stuck to the back of one of the pages was my stamp!  Phew!  I wanted to make a patriotic-themed card and this image seemed to fit the bill, along with the theme of friendship! I stamped the image in Real Red and fussy-cut it, then added a sentiment, some blue banners and some yummy blue gingham:


On the inside, a birthday sentiment, a little strip of the opposite side of the DSP and I'm ready to go for a July birthday!


And since the Color Throwdown challenge this week features my card's colors, I am going to enter it there as well!


Friendship is one of the best and easiest themes we could have, so I hope you'll take the challenge and make a friendship card, then share it with us at the  Players' blog!

Before I go, I am going to brag on Dana little....she always has to listen to me (and my two sisters) yak on and on about the birds we saw and/or heard, and when she sent me this video, I almost fell off my chair.  She took it through a window, so there's a glare and some background noise (you may want to hit the mute button to keep from hearing annoying commercials!), but she captured this female pileated woodpecker amazingly:


She's afraid she's becoming a bird nerd now, LOL!  Thanks for watching, thanks for visiting and be blessed today!

SIP87 A Little Kindness


Happy Tuesday, peeps!  It's time for another Stamp Ink Paper challenge!  And what a sweet challenge it is:  Kindness!
Image may contain: text

I haven't done a "vintage" card lately, and this set from Artistic Outpost has been sadly under-used, so I got it inky!  

The set is called Birds of a Feather, and it has a nice selections of vintage images!  I thought these little girls were sweet:


And it has a lovely German print background, interspersed with some egg images; I added the sentiment and the florals (same set), then stamped a couple of butterflies from Kinda Eclectic:


Because these little girls looked like best friends, I added a tag, some linen thread and a candy dot, then a layer of Graphic 45 DSP and some crochet trim and rickrack!


And finally, a sentiment also from Kinda Eclectic....because my sweet friend is indeed very kind!


This is also for the Sunday Stamps 146 sketch challenge, as well as the Double D Challenges, which is to use rickrack or zigzag!  Edited to add: This fits well for the Card Concept challenge this week, which is Vintage!

I hope you will play along with the Stamp Ink Paper team and share your creations with us this week! Can't wait to spread some kindness around!

Cassidy and Lamby are having quite a phone conversation:



I wonder what their conversation was about?  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
