Paper Players: I'm Baaaack!

Mornin' y'all and I am SO EXCITED to finally share this:  I'm joining the Paper Players Design Team!  I was a guest designer there a couple of years ago and I was just so thrilled when they asked me to come back on a more permanent basis.  I've been sitting on this news since the end of June : )

So, without any further ado, here's the new Paper Players challenge courtesy of Ann:


And here's my card:


Lookit that, I have an official watermark and everything!!!  I made this card weeks ago, long before I went all apple crazy here on the blog last week, so we're just continuing that theme here and I still haven't made the apple cider muffins yet (need to track down apple cider before I can do that).  Anyway, I turned to the fabulous More Than Autumn stamps and dies that debuted last year and paired them with the Timeless Plaid DSP Stack for my apple cider card.  I do NOT drink coffee, so no pumpkin spice lattes for me, but I do enjoy a nice hot apple cider.  I am ready for all things fall!

Check out what the other Paper Players have made and we hope you'll play along!

I am honored that they invited me back, I hope I'm up to the challenge!

Christy, so excited that you joined our team! WELCOME! I love this card. My Mom used to take us to the orchard every Fall for apple cider. The color combo and the mix of patterns is perfect!

Welcome back, Christy! Your adorable card is perfect for my challenge. I love the fall colors you used. I am not a coffee drinker either, but I love cider, especially when served with a great donut or muffin. Have a wonderful week!

Christy... Welcome back to the team! I love how I am trying to hang onto summer and you have jumped into fall! Great card.

Christy, I'm delighted that you're joining us on the Paper Players team. I love the warmth of this card. It screams of cool evenings, a blazing fire and a warm blanket and being with friends.

Yay, Christy! So happy to have you on the team permanently and what a fabulous card you've made for your debut! Love the layout, colors of fall (can't get here soon enough for me) and of course the cup of goodness. While I do love coffee, including a once-a-year Pumpkin Spice, there's nothing quite like hot cider!

Yay - so excited that the secret is finally out and you are back with us for good Christy, I am thrilled! Pumpkin spice isn't really my thing (although I do love the occasional gingerbread latte!) but your apple cider card, with that gorgeous plaid, is filled with seasonal colour and warmth - I love it!

SO happy to have you on the team! Personally, I love all your cards and can't wait to see what you share with us! THIS card is fabulous--I love the fall plaids, the fun drink and the little apples! So cute!

Christy, so glad you said yes. We are delighted to have you on the team and to see your wonderful creations in our DT gallery each week. Apple Cider. I haven't had any in years, but your card had me re-thinking that decision! I love the mix of plaids and that drink looks yummy.
