CELEBRATION THEME, The Paper Players Challenge #400!

Image
Hi, Stampers!      My submission for The Paper Players Challenge (thepaperplayers.blogspot.com).  This Challenge is #400 so, of course, the theme is "a celebration"!  I thought I would do something a little different.  Not just a PP or birthday, wedding celebration, but celebrating all of those hopeful young folks who will soon be heading off to college!  Hope you like it!

FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES CHALLENGE 343

Image
Hi, Stampers! Remember how I mentioned that Challenges have been inspiring me to create something?  A nice, clean and simple sketch by FMS343 Designer Jen Timko inspired this card. I've been so busy with blog issues this week that I wasn't going to enter, but I felt the need to make something  not associated with my laptop . I just happened across a piece of SU! gold-accented acetate (sadly, retired), thought of the this week's Sketch and ta da! I don't think it requires any instructions, really.  Just a tip:  Hide Mini Glue Dots behind the gold dots on the acetate and a couple where the Whisper White piece will cover them.  The WW is "quilted" with the Tufted Dynamic TIEF and popped up with Dimensionals.
