Paper Players 209

Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday---it’s time for another Paper Players challenge, and I am the hostess today!  Today, August 17, is a very special day—it’s Cassidy’s fourth birthday!  So in honor of her, my challenge is a clean and simple child’s birthday card:

Isn’t that graphic awesome?!  Thanks, Nance, for such a fun one to inspire us!  I chose to make a one-layer card using a retired image from Turtle & Company:

I know that children don’t really care too much about their cards, unless they’re older kids and then they only care about what’s inside their cards!   So, the simpler, the better!  I stamped Mr. Turtle in Stazon black ink and colored him with various markers….quick and easy! 

I did add some googly eyes from the Halloween kit that was in last year’s holiday mini…..it just adds a little whimsy to the card; I finished it off with a sentiment from Four You!  And now, check out what the others created with my challenge:

• Andrea
• Ann
• Anne Marie
• Claire
• Jaydee
• Joanne
• Laurie
• Mike
• Nance
• Sandy
• Yapha

And we hope you’ll play along too!  You can find all the details as well as the samples at the Paper Players blog!

Here’s a little walk down memory lane:
