Michele


Christine


Congratulations to everyone!

And for my Headliner:

Maria


Maria's sweet little snowman-in-a-jar is just the cutest ever! All the white space evokes lots of snow, and the red hat and scarf really make him pop!  To make the jar into a tag was even more creative!  I just love it all!  Congratulations, Maria, you're our Headliner this week!  To all the winners, be sure to pick up your winner's badges HERE And thanks again to everyone who participated!

Hello everyone! Joanne here. Thanks for playing along with my colour challenge this week - there were so many fabulous entries showcasing oranges and browns and I enjoyed visiting your blogs to take a closer look at your designs.

Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week. In order of entry we would like to congratulate:









Congratulations to all of our Cut Aboves on your wonderful projects.

And now for my Headliner:


Jenny Engelke - Giddy Stamper

There were some wonderful creations in this week's gallery and whilst I was drawn to a number of them, I couldn't get past Jenny's fabulous layered creation. Each time I looked at it, I saw something new. Her card is a triumph of colour and textures and a fitting and elegant way to celebrate the happy couple and a fall wedding - just beautiful! Congratulations, Jenny, for being my headliner of the week. 

Again, thank you to everyone for playing along with us.  Congratulations to all our winners! Please be sure to pick up your badges here. We hope you will display them proudly.  Come back tomorrow for a fun Clean and Simple Challenge from LeAnne!

PP711 - A Colour Challenge from Joanne

Hello everyone - Joanne here! Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who played along with Jan's love-themed challenge last week - you shared some lovely projects! Today sees the start of colour week and since autumn has well and truly arrived here in the UK, my colours were inspired by the falling leaves: shades of orange and brown. Feel free to add any neutrals (black, white, vanilla, Crumb Cake) and metallics and don't be constrained to tree/leaf creations - feel free to use the colours however you'd like. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!


Check out the fabulous inspiration from our Design Team this week:

PP710 - A Theme Challenge from Jan

Hello Stampers! Jan here, hosting you for this week. Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who played  along with Claire's Tic Tac Toe. I loved looking at all the entries and seeing so many beauties in the gallery.

This week, I've got a theme challenge for you. In New Zealand, it's spring and summer is just around the corner bringing with it Wedding Season. I thought it was time to get some 'Love in the Air,' so dust off your romantically themed sentiments and have fun around weddings, anniversaries, engagements, love notes - or even Valentine's, if you like to plan ahead!



Check out the Design Team for some inspiration.
