My son and daughter-in-law celebrated their anniversary recently. I wanted to make them a very special card to celebrate the occasion. Instead of going with a traditional “Happy Anniversary” sentiment, I decided on “Always and Forever” to honor their special bond. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.
It’s the fifth Sunday of the month and you know what that means! It’s time for a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. Woo hoo! It’s my turn to host! I have a variety of fun choices for you on the grid. Choose at least three elements across, down or diagonally. The sky is the limit as to what you can feature. In fact, I can’t wait to see what YOU create! But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible Design Teammates, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Although today’s card is a wee bit time consuming, it is easy to create. It features the beautiful Lunar Lustre specialty designer series paper, which serves as the card base. It adds a magical silvery shine to the card, giving off a celestial vibe. The next layer shows off the gorgeous die cuts from the Forever Florals die set. I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam cardstock for the small flowers and foliage. The large sentiment was heat embossed onto a Spotlight On Nature die cut circle. Because black was too harsh, I used retired Early Espresso embossing powder. As a finishing touch, every flower received a rhinestone center. A little snippet of retired silver Elegant Trim was used to make a petite bow. When all was said and done, I ended up using every choice on the Tic-Tac-Toe grid except for patterned paper!

Nueve’s Notes
Hey, everybody! It’s me, Nueve! I have great news. Both Uncle Q and I did great at the dog show. BOTH of us earned our next Rally Obedience titles. I got my Intermediate title and Uncle Q got his Advanced title. He did SO good. He got one of the highest scores. His good friend, Rose, showed him. He stayed with her a lot when I was out showing with Mom and Dad. Everybody was so happy he got his title, ’cause he has to retire now. He can’t jump the jumps anymore ’cause of his “arthur-eye-tiz”. He got to have his picture taken with the judge.
I showed FOUR times this weekend. It made me tired. When we got home, I fell asleep in the yard.
Mom woke me up and made me come inside. I snuggled up with my ‘corn, and fell right back to sleep.
After I had rested up, Mom took a picture with me to celebrate my new title. Sixx styled her hair for her. Sixx is very helpful that way!
It will be several months before I get my next obedience title. Mom has to learn everything we need to do to earn it. But that’s OK. Just being in class with my mom makes me happy and makes her happy, too. Making Mom happy is just part of my job. I’m a Working Dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!
