Paper Players 58

DSCF4105

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! It’s Sunday and that means another Paper Players challenge!

PP58 Banner

This week we have a “School Daze” challenge by our hostess, Ann! I am pretty sure that Ann will not be going back to school since she is retired now, but I guess that she’s still in that mode! (I am thinking she much prefers staying at home with the pups!)

I was challenged by my teammate Anne Marie to do the Hand Stamped Sentiments’ Fancy Fold challenge with my card this week:

PP58-1

There were a few things I would have changed about my execution of this card. The fold itself is fun and easy; I got the directions from Laura Lipe, here. However, I wish I had stamped my numbers in black ink instead of Pacific Point; my original intent was just to leave them uncolored. They looked kind of plain, so I colored them with a blender pen---ick, too light. Oh well, not enough time for a re-do! I do love my little school bus from Every Little Bit;

and the sentiment from Petite Pairs:
