You Rule for Paper Players #141

Hello there! It's time for another challenge over at the Paper Players! This week, I am the challenge hostess with a fun mix of colors that I hope you will enjoy. Baja Breeze is one of my favorite Stampin' Up "blues" and I am sad it will be retiring soon.
I decided to finally ink up the You Rule stamp set from the SU Spring Catalog. It coordinates with the new HUGE rhinestones, too. This is no joke...that is some big bling! I didn't have any patterned paper that had all of the colors together on it, so I decided to make my own using my (very neglected) Circle Circus stamp set. I randomly stamped the images and then embossed it for some added texture. I want to give an extra special shout out to my fabulous friend Rita for helping me out with the layout for this card. She always has great advice and I'm so lucky to have her as a friend for so many reasons. All of the supplies I used are listed at the end of my post.
Please join us this week over at the Paper Players! The challenge is open through Friday, April 19th at NOON (PDT). Check out what the rest of the Design Team created with this week's challenge:

Before I go, I have had a few people ask about little Abby, so I wanted to share a photo of her. She has become quite the little sass and she is already 9 months old! 

Have a HAPPY day! :)

  3. YOu sure do rule the bling, Anne-Marie! Only you could carry off not one, not two but THREE gi-normous rhinestones on one card. This is fabulous and you even made your own DSP--how clever are you?! Now you're making me wish I got this set--how can I live without that crown?! Looks like it's fit for Miss Abby! ((hugs))
