My Most Pinned Card on Pinterest – Birthdays are for the Birds!
How about that? Pretty exciting stuff – eh? (at least in my little corner of the world)…
I am so honored to be asked and super excited to participate as a Guest Designer for the next three months at ThePaperPlayers.

My second most pinned card on Pinterest – Dots Big Day Birthday Card
The Paper Players is a fun community of artsy crafty paper peeps who love to stamp or draw or paint handmade paper crafts. The design team is a group of amazingly talented, inspiring individuals that are as kind and encouraging as they are artistic. They truly embody creating HeARTwork!
I originally discovered The Paper Players when I started stamping, and for those that have been with me here a while know this is a weekly challenge I often participate in – – – and have actually won a few times!

One of my winning cards
I will be creating one card per week as “inspiration” for the challenge in hopes that others will join in and play along.
I hope some of you that love or would like to try paper crafting will check it out and join in with us weekly or as you like from time to time.

One of my faves – Stamin Up By the Tide Hello There Card
The guidelines are very simple:
1. Create a new paper or digital project.
2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to ThePaperPlayers. (Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry as opposed to you blog home page.)
3. We also ask that you link your project to no more than three challenges.
4. Have fun!
Wish me luck, and I hope this inspires YOU to do more of what makes YOU Happy!

Happy Life Watercolor Card
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Exciting news for you, Jodith! You knew I had to do that, right? I love all of your creations but I was really drawn to the fish card. I love the use of the fan coral. You always embellish exactly right, not too much, not too little. Like good seasoning, I guess.

I’ve actually seen your work on Paper Players before and always admired your talent. They know a good thing when they see it, so congratulations! I often wonder how your imagination manages to come up with so many creative outlets: cards, poems, recipes, paintings, and the list goes on. Creativity must burst from your every pore! So happy you’re on the team so I can visit with you on two sites.
