The Paper Players #48 & PPA95 Challenges
Good afternoon! Well I have a confession to make!
I'm a hoarder. Yes, that is correct ~ I hoard.....DP...... and so today....I broke free and grabbed a sheet from Cottage Wall (I know...I've had it forever) ~ well I cut it to the size that I needed, just a small gasp as I placed snail on one side (and it was such a sweet design)....I placed it down....and I survived! hmmmm, maybe I can do this!!!
What a great day to create, it's super chilly outside and now it's raining, so glad I was able to get some gardening done yesterday. While I was outside, I snapped a few pictures of the trees if the front, they are absolutely stunning and in full bloom ~ the picture doesn't do it justice, but I'd like to show you anyway!
If you take a closer peek, you can see some of my flower pots on the front step ~ we've had frost for 4 nights in a row!!!! yikes ~ summer is coming...correct???
So now onto the challenges that I entered today ~ there is a certain VERY special someone having a birthday next week and she's getting a NEW Bike ~ so these challenges were absolutely what I needed to create my wonderful DIL's Birthday Card. the sketch challenge is from The Paper Players #48
along with the challenge from PPA95 using brads in your creations....so away I went
I sure hope Charlene likes her new bike as well as her birthday card!
We love you Chars ~ have a great day and enjoy your new wheels!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by today ~ I hope you have a great day and that the sun is shining in your corner of the world ~ if it's not...just remember, that there are Blue Skies Behind. Our son Marc has written a song by that title, have a listen here! Have a wonderful day!
If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue, come here and create with me at one of my many clubs or classes! Drop me a line for further info! I'd love to meet you! Enjoy your day!

Oh Denise - I so love this card. I want to make one too ;) I love the sketch and the layers of circles. That bike image is wonderful - is it SU? Great job on using the brads on the wheels and the flower centers. Adorable inside......I just love everything about this card. I didn't get to "play" today:( but I'm glad you did. Thanks for sharing your picture of your gorgeous trees too.
