Seasonal Gnomes for the Paper Players

Happy Sunday, y'all!  We just finished a lovely Sunday breakfast of pumpkin waffles, which my husband (who says he's not really into all that pumpkin stuff) said he might like better than the plain waffles we do with strawberries on top.  Guess that recipe is a keeper!

And today it's time for another new challenge from the Paper Players!


Great theme and isn't that a wonderful graphic for Joanne's challenge?  At first I was trying to figure out how to incorporate all four seasons into one card, maybe doing something with four rectangles like the graphic, but in the end I decided to simplify a bit and just do autumn and winter.  Here's what I made:


I started with the Rings of Love DSP from the recent Sale-a-Bration, choosing one pattern for autumn and one for winter.  Then I colored my gnomes to coordinate with the papers--they both have Soft Succulent trousers but all the other colors are different.  I rustled up that sentiment from the very old and long-retired Season of Friendship stamp set, isn't it perfect with the seasonal gnomes?

Hope you'll hop on the Paper Players blog and upload your own changing seasons card.  Have fun!

  4. Okay, this is SO pretty! The paper totally works together. I missed the thin line between the DP and thought it was one sheet I couldn't remember. Nice work!
