Time to join The Paper Players and play along in the color challenge Claire put out this week for all our crafting, painting, stamping friends.
I couldn’t resist participating with the fun colors this super sweet lady chose: Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, and Real Red! Oooo Laaa Laa!
I wanted to do something different and had bought some fun new stuff while shopping this past weekend with Hubby at Tuesday Morning before our movie date to see “The Revenant.” (Did YOU see it yet?!) I bought the corrugated papercraft cardstock paper and the Tim Holtz Alpha Parts Punch Out letters. Combined that with some fun flowers sweet Eileen at My Creative Resolution gifted me with that just happened to exactly match “Melon Mambo,” embellished with one of my fave new dies – the pine branches from Gina Marie Designs, die cut some paper with my favorite stitched rectangle dies, added a pearl, and Voila – my Mixed Media Hug card!
It’s a bit of a quirky card, and I’m still trying to decide if I like it, but I’m guessing there will come an occasion or a person who it will end up being just right for at just the right time one of these days, so I’ll be holding onto this “hug” until then.
I sure miss being on the design team with the amazing creative Paper Players team, but it’s great to still play along!
Oh – and check out the amazing new guest designers! WOWZA! They have so much creativity to share!
Happy Friday!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
It’s so colourful Jodi! I am sure it would brighten someone’s day to receive this beautiful card😄

Jodi, I never expected to receive one of your cards! You have such a gift. I was blown away by the card, especially because I recognized parts of it. You transformed scraps of paper and a bit of ribbon into something beautiful. I love it! And it was fun spotting the flower on the card in this post. Have a great weekend! 🙂
