We will be back on Wednesday to announce the 41 winners of the prizes donated by our wonderful sponsors. 

 Meanwhile today I have a bright, vibrant colour challenge for you! These colours work beautifully for flowers, as you will see from many of the Design Team cards this week, but don't be constrained by this; there are many other ways these colours could be used so use your imaginations - I look forward to seeing what you come up with.  Have fun - we can't wait to see what you create!

  2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
  3. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.

PP400 Challenge Winners

Hi Everyone, Jaydee here.   Well, that was quite a party!  Huge thanks to all of you who played along and helped us celebrate and, once again, a huge thank you to all of our challenge sponsors. 

We really enjoyed seeing the fabulous creations in our gallery and it was hard to choose our winning design entries this week.

Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week.

And the Design Team selections for A Cut Above are....


And now for our Headliner:
Nancy
 


Nancy's card is breathtaking.  The flowers and leaves are beautifully arranged around the heart and the balance is offset perfectly by the sentiment.  There is so much interest in the flowers with the watercolor effect and the popped elements with the nuovo drops are the perfect finishing touch.   Nancy, congratulations on being the HEADLINER on our 400th challenge. 
 
We hope you will play along with us for Joanne's color challenge tomorrow.  
 
We will be back on Wednesday to announce the winners of our sponsored prizes.

PP400 - A Celebration Theme Challenge with Jaydee

Hi Everyone. 

We are so excited to be sharing our 400th challenge with you and, because it is such a major occasion, and because we have some incredible prizes to be won, this is a two week challenge.

Our theme this week is CELEBRATION and we are celebrating YOU - our Paper Players.  Without YOU we would not have reached such a major milestone.

We thank all of you for playing along with us.  We also thank our past designers and guest designers who have helped us bring you inspiration for 50 weeks every year.

We really hope that you will play along with us over the next two weeks and help us celebrate.  We also hope that you will visit our amazing sponsors.

As it is our 400th challenge, we have two of our original Paper Player design team joining us - let's say a huge welcome back to Ann Schach and Anne Marie Hile.
