Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday.
It's my pleasure to host the Paper Players challenge this week and I have color challenge for you:
When I saw Cucumber Crush I thought it would make a fabulous green for Christmas and when I saw it with Real Red and Crushed Curry, I thought it would make an great Christmas color scheme.
Then, of course, I had to pair it with the Bird Crazy stamp set and accessories set from Tim Holtz.
Here's my card:
I really loved pairing the image with the hat and parcel accessories – and the whimsical sentiment. Somehow that sentiment really does go with those crazy birds!
I hope that you will play along with us this week and, if you are looking for some inspiration, check out the fabulous ideas from our design team:
On a personal note:
I had intended to load a couple of blog posts this week and show you some of the final cards I made for the 2015 card drive. However, I found myself in Orlando this week at a company event and it was impossible to work at the event during the day, do my normal job in the evening hours and still find time to blog. It was a long – and mostly very warm – week and I got back late this afternoon to find the colors finally turning! It was also great to get home to some cooler temperatures!
I will be back tomorrow night with a card – and an update on the 2015 Card Drive. I have some amazing blogging friends who have done a wonderful job of creating cards for our drive and I can't wait to share that with you.
In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

This is a fantastic festive colour combo this week Jaydee – and your quirky bird really shows them off in style! I love the illusion of dimension with your stamping too. Fun, fun, fun!
Jaydee, this is so fu! I absolutely love that CRAZY bird Santa! These colors are perfect for Christmas! Anyone would smile to receive this festive little fellow in the mail! XX
Hi Jaydee,
Cute card and I hope you got my cards. Last year you didn’t get my first box, but got the second one. For some reason when I try to respond to your e-mail, it is not forwarded to you, and comes back as undeliverable. That’s why I’m writing you here. Take care and looking forward to your next e-mail.
What a great card, Jaydee! I love the crazy bird and he looks great in a Santa hat. Perfect use of the colors and a great challenge.
LOL, this crazy bird looks like you brought him home from Florida with you! Great use of these merry & bright colors and I love your shiny accents. Great color challenge, Jaydee!
such a cute card and wonderful color combination.
Enjoy your day
