And now for my Headliner:

                                  

Su Mohr

Aromas and Art

The wonderful thing about a sketch is that it provides a starting point and a foundation for a card. It serves as an inspiration while being open to adding your own spin. I LOVED the way that Su seamlessly incorporated the freesia diagonal into her design. The embossing added yummy texture, while popping the elements up on dimensionals added depth. But what truly captured my heart was the gorgeous designer paper panel with the bluebird. It is a breath of Spring. Congratulations, Su, and being my Headliner this 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 seasonal Theme Challenge from Jaydee!

PP668 - A Sketch Challenge from Ann

Hey, Stampers- it's Ann! Thank you to everyone who played along with LeAnne's Clean and Simple challenge last week.  There were so many great tags and tag cards in our gallery! This week I have a fun and versatile sketch for you. It's perfect for showing off your favorite paper, embossed backgrounds, stenciling and more.  The large rectangle in the center could be used to highlight a favorite image or a bold sentiment.  We can't wait to see what you create! But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, let's take a look at what the Design Team has created for your inspiration:

And now for my Headliner:

Thinking Stamping

Jan Clothier

         

 I loved Jan's use of the Christmas greenery that accented her tag, and the second gingham tag peeking out from behind added a bright bit of color against the beautifully-embossed background! The gold embossing and twine added a bit of glitz that made this tag a stunner!  Congratulations, Jan, you're my Headliner this 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 an awesome Sketch Challenge from Ann!

And now for my Headliner:

Colleen Begley - Colleen's Creative Corner

                                  

There were so many wonderful cards in the gallery this week and many of you balance my trio of festive colours with white beautifully. Colleen's card caught my eye because it is a wall-to-wall pop of colour. Not only is there not a single neutral, but Colleen's fourth choice of bright blue makes an impact in its own right, whilst still allowing the other colours to shine. And who can resist that shiny, sparkly over-the-top bow?! Not me, for sure! Congratulations Colleen on being my Headliner this 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!
