Hi Everyone.   Before I get to the challenge this week, a huge shout out to all our players last week.  There were so many amazing submissions that it was very difficult for us to each choose a winner for LeAnne's great sentiment challenge.  WOW!

It's my pleasure to host our challenge this week and I have a sketch for you.   Our design team have created some fabulous cards as inspiration for you - but we can't wait to see what you do with it!

Hi everyone!  LeAnne here as your hostess today!  It was wonderful gazing at all the lovely creations you made with Ann's colors last week!  This week we have a clean and simple challenge for you:  we want to see sentiments as the focus on your cards!  DSP and other embellishments are welcome, but remember that it IS a clean and simple challenge, so use a minimum of layers and doodads!!!  There are so many big, bold sentiments in the stamping world these days...put them to use!  We look forward to seeing your creations!

Paper Players Challenge #227 Winners: Ann's Color Challenge

Wow!  You certainly knocked our socks off with how you embraced this week's color challenge! It was amazing to see how each of you used Crisp Cantaloupe, Lost Lagoon, and Sahara Sand in such a variety of beautiful and creative ways. We definitely had a difficult task of narrowing down the winners.  Before we get to Ann's choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of our design team:

And now to our Headliner:

Shawna Standish

TheGrandStampede

Shawna's beautiful card caught my eye with its vibrant hues. The stunning bokeh background featured Lost Lagoon over a darker base color.  The tan embossed ferns add a touch of yummy texture.  Although she did not have Crisp Cantaloupe on hand, Shawna was able to blend Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo to color the roses. Congrats, Shawna, on being our Headliner this week!

Winners, please pick up your badges--available HERE! Be sure to check back tomorrow for a super-fantastic challenge hosted by the talented LeAnne! See you soon!

Welcome to The Paper Players!  We loved seeing how you reused and repurposed items in Anne Marie's challenge last week.  Now we can't wait to see what you create for our first color challenge of the new year!  What a fresh trio of colors it is! Can you imagine sitting on the sand near a lost lagoon eating a crisp cantaloupe? As always, if you don't have these exact colors, feel free to substitute.

PP226 Winners: Anne Marie's Theme Challenge

Wow! What a way to kick off the New Year in style by sharing so many wonderful creations! A big thank you to everyone who participated in our "Everything Old is New Again" challenge. 

Now...before we get to the Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of our design team:


And now to our Headliner:

Jan Clothier 

from Scrapbooking Stuff

Jan created a gorgeous card with SO many beautiful elements. I have to give her an extra-special shout-out for cutting into an old book for her background image. That would have been tough for me, as well. The background works perfectly with all of the elements on her card and the colors are so rich and elegant. So much gorgeous texture and dimension...just WOW! Congratulations to you, Jan! You are my pick for our Headliner this week! :)
