Happy Sunday, everyone! Wow, happy December...that month flew by! It's my turn to be the hostess over at the Paper Players this week, and the theme I've chosen is "Be a Deer"---add a deer to your project!
It wasn't my plan to be so literal in my interpretation of the sketch, but I had a piece of Winter Meadow on my desk and I liked how it looked like a wintery sky, so I went with it! Here we go:
I have several deer dies, but I hadn't used this Papertrey one for a while; I diecut it in white and stamped the antlers and legs in Misty Moonlight ink:
I placed him on a stitched hill then added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp along with some of the "greenery" from the same PTI set:
The background looked a little bare, so I added some glimmer stars, a couple of rhinestones and a few Poppystamps Whittle trees! The inside sentiment is from CC Designs called Fanciful Christmas:
While I had the die out, I decided to make a second card since I just got a die I had been wanting for a long time (Michele is such an enabler!):
This time I stamped my deer in Pecan Pie on some Kraft cardstock, then added the background DSP, the double scalloped borders and a sentiment from Hope & Peace. I am sure you'll be seeing a bit more of this fun die! And we hope to see YOU in the Paper Players gallery, showing off your deer! It doesn't have to be Christmas; deer are great for masculine cards, baby cards, anything! Can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for visiting today!
The last of my "smalls"! Now I have some bigger projects to frame or finish somehow....more work, more money, LOL!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

LeAnne! HOW did I forget to use my favorite deer this year?? Thanks so much for the beautiful reminder! [love him in that sweet frame - you're welcome! lol]
Love those little pillows and can't wait for the 'bigs!'

Absolutely beautiful cards, LeAnne! The sky on the first reminds me of a wintry night sky. The way you accented the sentiment is gorgeous. And your second card - WOW! I LOVE both of them. Thank you for a wonderful challenge. Have an amazing week!
Love your deer cards and your little pillows! You are so talented!
You had the perfect paper to go with your white deer! I love how you've stamped the sentiment in blue too! Red white and kraft are perfect with this new frame! Michele is definitely an enabler!
He's such a handsome little deer and I like the way yo'uve used him on both cards! Your "smalls" are extra sweet. Hope you share photos of the bigs!
LeAnne... love the little whittle trees in the background and the wood grain cardstock on the deer...such an amazing monochrome card. Adore the little cross stitch pillows...too cute!
LeAnne, this is such a fun challenge! I love deer and seeing the variety in the gallery is amazing. Your stick deer is adorable. I love him. He looks so regal standing the snow. The sentiment, the greenery and the bow are perfect. Love the frames and the polka dots on the second card. I hope you have a wonderful week, My Friend!
