Happy Sunday.
It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and I cannot believe that it is our 700th – yes that would be SEVEN HUNDREDTH challenge! As that's a major milestone, I decided to create a celebration card. I used my much loved Pinwheel Party goodies from The Greetery. Here's a sneak peek:
Here's LeAnne's sketch for this week:
I created the texture in the background from a free gift we got from Pinkfresh Studio when ordering during their birthday party celebration. I then used the Pinwheel Party Stencils and dies to create the pinwheels. I popped up the panels with foam dots and added the sentiment. It was a really easy card to create.
Here's my full card:
I hope you will join us and play along with our 700th challenge. We would love to see what you create with LeAnne's sketch. As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
On a personal note:
Anyone else finding it difficult to believe that we are already knocking on the door of August? This year has gone so quickly. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I was away for the early part of the year or not, but this year certainly does seem to be speeding along. Talking about speeding along, little Chilli is now well over 9 pounds in weight and I swear is growing every time I look at him. As I type this, Chilli and Smudgie are zooming around the apartment chasing each other. It's such fun to watch. Especially as both of them have hairy toes and slip and slide everytime they try to change direction or go around the corner. We love the vinyl plank floors in the apartment, but these two would much prefer carpet – much better grip.
I thought you might enjoy seeing a photograph of little Chilli when he was 5 weeks old…. I swear those ears!!!!
Ok… everyone say awwwwwww :-). What a cutie. No wonder we fell in love with him!
I'll be back latr in the week with some cards. At least I hope I will. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Jaydee… FABULOUS! Love those pinwheels…what a fabulous die. Great birthday card. So fun.
Those pinwheels are amazing…they definitely look 3D! What a fun way to use my sketch!
Jaydee, love your new Maine Coon kitty. I Had a beautiful one several years. Got him from a friend who saved him after his owner dies. We had him for approx 12 years and he was the most lovable cat. Hewas around 16 pounds until he got sick, Enjoy yours growing up.
Thanks for the pictures.

Those pinwheels are wonderful! Love the shades of colour, the decorative details and the embossed background add up to a great card.
A festive card couldn’t be more perfect for the 700th challenge! I love how you used that pressplate for the background Jaydee! I received it too but it’s still sitting in my NBUS stash. Now you’ve inspired me to pull it out and use it. Those pinwheels are darling too!
I certainly did go awwwww over wee Chilli, thank you for sharing that bit of cuteness!
Those pinwheels are a perfect way to celebrate our 700th challenge milestone Jaydee and look fab against the embossed background too. This is a party on a card!
Jaydee, this is fabulous! Those pinwheels look 3d. I love how fun and festive your card is! WOW! Just perfect for number 700!!!!!!! Great idea to celebrate The Paper Players!
What a perfect card to celebrate our 700th challenge, Jaydee! These pinwheels are awesome, and definitely festive. What an adorable picture of baby Chilli! Have a great weekend!
Jaydee, that embossed background is delightful. Such a fun card and I really like your color choices. So pretty together. On to next 700 challenges. Cheers, Jolanda
