Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday night.
I hope you are all having a great weekend and that my blog readers in the path of Irene are safe and dry.
It's my pleasure to host the Paper Players Challenge this week and we have a sketch for you. I first saw this sketch at convention and loved it. We hope that you will join us this week. Even though the sketch has a circular focal element, you can make it any shape you like. You can also turn the sketch on its side if that suits you better, too.
I decided to stay with the Easy Events for this sketch, but make baby cards instead. However, I couldn't decide whether to make a gender neutral card, a baby boy card, or a baby girl card. So…. being the over-achiever (or nutter.. whichever you prefer :-)…) I ended up doing all three. I promise I will show them to you over the next week, but decided to go with the feminine and girly pink one for the challenge.
Isn't that cute? Don't you just love all the pink? I know pink isn't a color I normally lead with, but I do think the Melon Mambo goes so well with the Pretty in Pink striped grosgrain ribbon. For the background, I used texture Melon Mambo layered over the Melon Mambo base.
I then chose Regal Rose for the square and ran it through my Big Shot with the polka dot embossing folder. I love the fact that the polka dots on the embossing folder match the polka dots on the umbrella! I used a white gel pen to make the dots on the umbrella pop. A Regal Rose button finished off the card.
- Card stock: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Melon Mambo
- Stamps: Easy Events
- Accessories: Brights Buttons, Pretty in Pink striped grosgrain ribbon
- Tools: 2 1/2" circle punch. Big Shot. Polka Dot embossing folder. Stampin' Dimensionals. (Both the square layer and the focal layer were popped up on Dimensionals.)
We really do hope that you will join us this week. The entire design team loves visiting your creations.
I hope everyone stays safe and dry this weekend. Prayers and hugs for those of you who need a little lift.

What an adorable and SWEET card. Love it.
Jaydee, this is absolutely ADORABLE! Love the polka dots in the umbrella and how the EF matches them. And the little touch of blue for the waves rewally makes the card pop. By the way, I love the layout and cannot wait to play along later today if time allows.
What a cute card!! Love the colors your chose and this is an adorable baby card! Beautiful ribbon too! Thanks for all your help and inspiration during my DT stint this summer!
Absolutely precious card. Love the pinks together. We are all safe and sound here in Hampton VA. One tree down and no water close to the house. Thank God.

Jaydee how cute is that little ducky! Love the pinkishness of it all… The bow is spectacular! Hugs.
Adorable! The little duck is just perfect for baby cards. Can’t wait to see the others you made also. For this one, I love all the pinks together. How cute is the little umbrella? And it does match perfectly with the dotted embossing folder.
