Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend! It's the last Paper Players challenge of the year--wow, how did that happen?! Sadly, we have to say goodbye to Deanne...her cards were always fun and funky, and brought a breath of fresh air to the Players! We'll be taking a little break until January, but Claire is taking us out of 2017 with a bang! Check out these colors:
If you've ever met Claire, you know that she is cheerful and bright, just like these colors, so it's no surprise she chose them! I pulled out some oldies from my stash to go with some new colors to create a retro Christmas card:
My trees from the retired set, Festival of Trees, were stamped in three of the challenge colors and mounted behind a diecut of Garden Green. I added a little embossed Melon Mambo strip and star sequins that matched (mostly) each tree:
But my favorite part might be the little sprigs of holly I created with the Quilt Builder framelits and some pink sequins; I put these down in the corner for just another little kick of color:
The design team has outdone themselves with these fabulous colors....be sure to check them out:
We hope you'll play along too! Can't wait to see what you create!
Some cuddle time!

That's such a great frame! I have it too and always forget about it. Festival of Trees is a wonderful set and that stylised tree really suits the colours.
Your card makes me feel good all over! Love the colors Claire put together and the way you used the sequins. I had totally forgotten about the holly from the Quilt Builder so now I'll be able to finish off the card I made last night. You are a blessing!
Leanne, thank you very much for those kind words. You made my day! So sweet of you!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card. I couldn't wait to comment. I love anything retro. I am so excited I saved this stamp set because I am going to CAS this beautiful creation! The holly in those two shades is gorgeous and you know I adore those pink sequins! SO festive! You rocked my color challenge, My Friend! Have a wonderful week and Cassidy and that puppy are too cute for words! XX
