A Peek at The Players and Free Rub-Ons


It's time for a peek at this week's The Paper Players card.  The lovely Lesley has a fabulous challenge in store for you Sunday, and I know you will want to play along!  It's easy enough to see that I used the gorgeous plaid paper from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper collection, but what else do I have in store?   Join me for Sunday's reveal to see if your guess is correct!

Free Rub-Ons

As I was working in my "Stamp Pantry", I encountered these nifty Holly and Jolly Rub-Ons from last year.  I know that I will not be using them, and I thought that maybe one of you could put them to good use.  Just leave me a comment on today's sneak peek or Sunday's reveal by 10:00 PM CST, and I will use a random number generator to select a winner.  The winner will be named in  Monday's post.

Hi Ann! Can't wait to see your card tomorrow too. Love the colors on this sneak.

I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and time got away from me. I've enjoyed your blog so much and I'm very thankful to have found it! I hope you are enjoying time with your son home on break. I still need to take a few minutes to listen to his performance. I think I can finally do that today!

I love the whole Frostwood Lodge suite of products,don't you?

RaeDeen said...

Hmmm. This is a good peak...it has me guessing. I see embossing, spritizing, and 'a' pearl. Looking forward to the 'real' thing! I'll betcha there is more then just one pearl. Love the rub ons. They could be used on so many different projects.

Debbie said...

Love the card already...looks like maybe a winter scene...with pearls!
Love the rub ons....quick and easy if you're in a hurry!

Oooh! I see you are using the window die. I have it and have not cut the first card stock with it, so I can't wait to see what you've done with it!

Bette S said...

I love plaid, so I'm sure it is neat! Thanks for the info on the American Red Cross and the cards for our heroes. Thanks!

lisa808 said...

Hmmm, looks like you used the spritzer tool...hope that means your finger has healed.

Anonymous said...

Well, whatever it will be - looks like a cool Yule to me! Some spritzing I think? My eye is just drawn to that great houndstooth paper. The rub ons look fun. Ah, maybe a good way to get rid of some perfectly good cards I made a few years ago but just weren't quite "me" - so thanks for that site.

Ann, thanks for posting the link on the holiday cards for service members. Folks, I am one of Ann's former students from many years ago (she was beginning her career and I was a sophomore)and a retired serviceman.
Having been on the receiving end of those cards and letters from people back in the world is more appreciated than you will ever know. Please contribute to this cause.
