PP740 - A Theme Challenge from Jan

Hello everyone, or as we say in New Zealand, Kia Ora! Welcome to a new challenge at The Paper Players. I’m delighted to be your hostess this week. 

It was a pleasure to go through last week’s gallery and see all the wonderful and varied responses to LeAnne’s sketch challenge. Thank you to everyone who participated.

This week, it’s theme week and I’ve chosen ‘Recycling is In’. I’m hoping that you will find a way to recycle something or repurpose something in whatever you create this week. 

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

I loved the nautical theme Sandy chose! The clean, crisp images work wonderfully against the sailboat background paper, and that sweet diecut sentiment is perfect for a masculine card!  Congratulations, Sandy, you're my Headliner this week!

PP738 Challenge Winners

Hi everyone, it's Joanne here! I want to thank everyone for playing in my clean and simple challenge this week. There were so many fabulous cards gracing the gallery and whilst some of them pushed the boundaries of clean and simple, there was a plethora of things that fly. There were the usual birds, bees and butterflies, but also a few less obvious appearances, from helicopters, to dragons and even that perennial Ghostbusters favourite, slime! A fabulous collection of 'winged things'. 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:

Maria - White Mood

Deepti - handmade by Deepti

Michele - I Card Everyone

And now for my choice for Headliner:

Deborah Wheeler

Deborah's Crafty Blog

Of all the winged creations in the gallery this week, it was Deborah's Christmas fairy that captured my heart! Simply coloured using just three main colours, the subtle sponged blue behind highlighted the image beautifully and the addition of the soft stencilled stars were the perfect finishing touch to this clean and simple beauty. CONGRATULATIONS Deborah, YOU are 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 sketch challenge from LeAnne. 

Until then - Happy Stamping!
