The Paper Players Birthday Challenge




I am so honored to be chosen as a guest designer for The Paper Players challenge blog. I hope you play along each week and are inspired by all the amazing talent of the design team.

This week's challenge is a birthday challenge. I have been anxious to ink up these cute little FURRY FOLK from the new Idea Book and Catalog. This set caught my eye right away and I think the images can be very versatile. I thought the little critters would combine well with the cheery colors of SPICE CAKE designer series papers ( yummy!). Megan has already claimed this card for one of her friends.

Pop on over to The Paper Players challenge blog and play along.
