PP731 Challenge Winners

Hey there, stampers! LeAnne here, saying thanks to everyone who participated in our tic-tac-toe challenge!  So many fun creations!  Really, the design team always finds choosing winners such a challenge!  Before we get to my Headliner, let's see what tickled the DT's fancy!  We had a tie, so we actually have four Cuts Above:

Julia - Create With Me

Christy - Snapdragon Stamps

Nancy - Scrapper at Heart

Janet - Tiny Paper Blossom

And for my headliner:

JoAnn - Crafty Nana's Blog

I loved so many things about JoAnn's card! First, the shades of pink and green are beautiful; I just love the subtle hues that she used! The gray sentiments work perfectly with the florals, and what can I say about the ribbon treatment and the diecut border--just fabulous!  Congratulations, JoAnn, you're my Headliner for this week!

Congratulations to all the winners--be sure to pick up your badges here!   And come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Jan! Happy stamping!

PP730 Challenge Winners

Hi, Stampers! It's Ann! I want to thank everyone for playing in my sketch challenge this week. There were so many fabulous cards gracing the gallery. We absolutely loved the variety and your interpretations of the sketch. The Design Team had our work cut out for us in picking out the winners.  Before we get to my choice for HEADLINER, let's see who was selected as our three top choices for CUTS ABOVE:

Windy Ellard

Windy's Wonderful Creations

Yvon

Blue Heart Stamping by Stempidoe

Mary Deatherage

Stamps-N-Lingers

Congratulations, Windy, Yvon and Mary! 

And now for my choice for Headliner:

Christy Stanford

Snapdragon Stamps

Gorgeous colors, a fun sentiment and an adorable bird stole my heart! I could not take my eyes off this beautiful designer paper. I was mesmerized by how skillfully Christy water colored the bird to match the background. Three little gems were the perfect embellishments, drawing the eye straight to the quirky bird and cute sentiment. Congratulations, Christy, on being my Headliner this week! 

Congratulations to all the winners!  You can pick up your winner's badges HERE.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge from LeAnne. Until then, happy stamping!

PP729 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday everyone - Joanne here!

Thank you to all of you who played along with my clean and simple challenge this week.  This week's entries showed how sometimes all you need is a single stamped image and a sentiment to make a card. There were some CAS beauties in the gallery and you made it very difficult for us to choose our winners.

Before we get to our headliner for this week, let's look at the top 3 choices from the design team.

Arlene Rose

Sundaystamper Papercrafts

Windy Ellard

Windy's Wonderful Creations

Bobby

Bits and Pieces

Congratulations, ladies.  We hope you will take your badge and display it proudly on your blog.

Now for our Headliner:

Christy Stanford

Snapdragon Stamps

This fun dragon, peeking around the striped wall border, with his quirky expression and snarky sentiment, totally made me smile! The lemon-lime colour scheme is so  cheery and there's plenty of 'white' space to let that single image shine.  A perfectly clean and simple card! Congratulations Christy, you are my HEADLINER this week!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for a new sketch challenge from Ann - see you then!

PP729 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Joanne

Hello everyone - Joanne here! Welcome to this week's challenge at The Paper Players - I'm your hostess for this week. Thank you to everyone who participated in Jaydee's pastels colour challenge last week - such a pretty gallery full of soft and subtle shades.  This week it's Clean and Simple week and I'm looking for cards with just one single stamped image in addition to a sentiment if you wish.

We're all looking forward to seeing what YOU do with this challenge. Just remember to keep things CLEAN and SIMPLE: minimal layers, lots of clean white space and few embellishments. 

Here's some fabulous inspiration from the design team to get your ideas flowing:
