PP #70 & Fall Blog Hop 2011

Hi Everybody! What an exciting weekend it has been. The Paper Players hosted a Blog Hop and I got to be a part of it. Thanks to all of you that stopped by and left so many sweet comments. I truly do appreciate it! We will be leaving the links up, so feel free to start hopping if you haven't seen all of the design team's great projects. There's still some fun Blog Candy out there to be won.

We also have a challenge this week at the Paper Players. It's 'Anything Goes'! Just add a Fall element.

My card comes to you straight out of the Holiday Mini Catalog. It is the main reason I just invested in the Island Indigo suite: paper, pad and marker. It's just gorgeous!


If you follow my blog, you know that I LOVE to make this card size. I just think it so stylish and sassy! It is 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" scored at 3 1/4". This card has so many fun details, it's hard to know where to start. There's stitching, fabulous color, trimming, a great design and so much dimension that the focal image almost jumps right off the card. My favorite part...the stitching around the edge. I don't have a sewing machine, so I paper pierced the border and used some embroidery floss and a needle to stitch them all together. What a great look!

**Some of you asked where to get envelopes to fit this size card. I'm not sure who else carries them, but Stampin' Up definitely does. They are Item# 107286. Their dimensions are 6 3/4" x 3 1/2" and, yes, you can mail them. They are available through your SU! Demo or you can order them through my SU! Website by clicking the link in the top right hand corner.

The other Players have many more projects to share. LeAnne Pugliese is next, so be sure to hop on over. Thanks for stopping by!
