Paper Players #71 - My Recipe Challenge

Hi there and Happy Sunday to you! This week at the Paper Players, I am your hostess and am trying something a little different this week. Are you ready to cook up some treats in the Creative Kitchen? The Paper Players "Top Chefs" have whipped up some awesome inspiration this week, so be sure to stop by and visit them.
My patterned papers came from the Domestic Goddess DSP, the ribbons are Poppy Parade 1/2" Stitched Poly ribbon and White Baker's Twine, the punches are the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, the flower from the Bitty Punch Pack, 1- 3/4" Circle punch, 3/4" Circle punch (for the snail shell) Large Oval and Small Oval (ret.) The sparkle comes from the Silver Glimmer Paper. I almost forgot this element. Seriously? Me, forgetting sparkle? This is a crime, I tell you!!!
Here is the inside of the card...hopefully the snail image from the Button Buddies set (it's baaaackkk!!) on the front makes sense now. I don't know about you, but I ALWAYS seem to have a need for belated b'day cards. 
As I was wrapping up this post, I was met with a super-cuddly Schnauzer...adorned with an embellished nose. I grabbed my phone and snapped a quick photo, as he had no idea how stinkin'  cute he looked. Oh Emmitt! Pearls and rhinestones seem to pop up everywhere in this house...I even had one stuck to my foot the other day.
Please stop by the Paper Players blog! The rest of the DT have created some fabulous treats to share. We really hope you will play along and have some fun with your creative creation, using our recipe. We are also welcoming our new November Guest Designer, Susan Joyce this week, so please pop by and say hello! 

Have a HAPPY day! :)

  1. Gorgeous card, Anne Marie - love the sparkle on the card and the pearled nose on Emmitt! *giggle* I'll have to find time to play along today. Good thing we have an extra hour today. :) Ms. Lexi was up at 5 AM wanting her breakfast and wondering why we were still slumbering away and not wanting to get up.

  11. First things first! That Schnauzer face is A D O R A B L E!! And that little embellished nose! Embellished Emmitt. . .doesn't that sound like a great name for a stamp???? LOVE your card, and I'm still perplexed over how you created such a wonderful effect on the shell. It almost looks as if it is 3-D. What a great challenge. . .I would have freaked at the "three patterned papers"! LOL Hope you are well! Best, Curt

    Oh - and Emmitt is adorable with his nose ring! I don't think a human could rock such a jewel front and centre like he is. LOL
