Snow Much Fun – Paper Players 105 – Jaydee’s Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone.  Happy Sunday.

I'm really late posting my challenge card.  It's been a crazy weekend.  Lou and I were running around yesterday getting all sorts of things – like curtain rods and a mattress!  It was a long, very hot, very humid, day!  It took forever to decide which mattress we wanted.  It really was a case of the The Three Bears – except in our case, two bears!  I like my bed firm.  Lou likes his bid soft!  Reaching a compromise was what took so long!

Today we have been painting, hanging curtains, putting our new bed together – sans mattress!  The master bedroom is starting to come together.  Once we have the mattress (which should arrive on Wednesday), the bedroom will be ready to decorate and it will be DONE!   One room actually complete!  Then, I'll be able to start sharing some photographs – well, of the bedroom at least!

The busy weekend leads me to the issue of my Paper Players card.  I made a card on Saturday morning just before we left.  I set up the challenge post much later on Saturday and saw that the very talented Dawn Easton and I had used the same stamp set – and the same element in the corner of the card!!!!  We used totally different color schemes, embellishments and DSP, but the same set.  It's not the first time that a couple of players have used the same set, but I had thought I would get the time to create a new card.   Unfortunately, I wasn't able to!   So, I have to go with what I have.You really need to check out Dawn's card.  One of these days I am going to be brave enough to sew on a card – it looks fabulous on Dawn's card.

Here's the sketch:

Here's my card… I really do absolutely LOVE this Snow Much Fun set.

Here's a closeup of the Le Pouff.   I LOVE this stuff.

I also LOVE this new SU DSP and the new Snowflake die!  Finally 6 sided snowflakes! 🙂

I really hope you will play along with us this week.  So, just pop along to the Paper Players.  We can't wait to visit your creations.
