PP594 Strawberry Thanks

Hi there, stamping friends!  It's Sunday and it is our first Paper Players challenge of June!  Anne Marie is our hostess with this fun theme:

Since I just did a "beverage" card a couple of days ago, this time I thought I'd do a food....strawberry, in particular!  A friend from church had John work on his car and he brought over a quart of delicious freshly-picked strawberries!  SO yummy and so much better than the ones you get in the store!  So I thought I'd make him a strawberry thank you card!  So here we go:

I have ONE strawberry stamp in my collection...this one is from Altenew...and I happened to find some strawberry paper in my stash, along with a few others that matched!  I used the sketch from Just Add Ink:

which is a really fun sketch to use up some of your DSP scraps!  I stamped and colored the strawberries and leaves and mounted them on a diecut panel of Very Vanilla.  The sentiment is from Friends are Like Seashells, as are the little speckles behind the strawberries.  I added a few sequins from my stash as well.

I added another sentiment from Altenew on the inside:

And now I'm going to go eat the rest of the strawberries, LOL!  I hope you'll find something fun to use with our theme challenge this week and that you'll share it with us at the Paper Players blog!  Check out what the DT created as well...your mouth will be watering (or maybe you'll be thirsty!)!!!  Thanks for visiting today!

Cassidy had her soccer tournament yesterday and although she did very well, her team came in last.  It's hard to explain to them that it's a team sport, it's a game and although disappointment is a natural reaction, you stay upbeat and move on to the next year!  The pictures aren't the greatest, but Dana said she played really well!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
