PP455 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Joanne

Hi, Stampers! Joanne here, ready to tell you all about this week's challenge. But first, the Players would like to thank everyone who participated in Jaydee's color challenge last week. It was amazing to see the gallery filled with pops of colour amongst all of the black and white! 

This week is our monthly Clean and Simple challenge, and we have added a 'cards for kids' theme.  You card can be for any occasion - birthday, back to school, encouragement, congratulations, get well soon - but it must be for a child and it must be in the 'clean and simple' style.  By Clean and Simple, we mean cards that meet the following criteria:

Minimal layers and embellishments
Plenty of open space, aka "white" space

Simple and uncluttered

This is going to be so much fun! But before you grab those stamps and inks, be sure to check out what our design team has created for your inspiration!

And now our Headliner:

Mary Anne

Lakeside Stamping

I love Mary Anne's bold use of stripes and the silver is just gorgeous as the third color.  The chevron paper works so well with the stripes of that wonderful little Zebra.  The placement of the leaf is perfect, especially with the zebra looking out over it.  Fabulous card.  Congratulations, Mary Anne, on being my HEADLINER this week.

Once 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.  Please join us tomorrow for our monthly Clean and Simple Challenge from Joanne!

PP453 - A Theme Challenge from Claire

Hi, Stampers!  Claire here, ready to tell you all about this week's challenge. But first, the Players would like to thank everyone who participated in Anne Marie's sketch challenge. It was amazing to see a gallery filled with so many fabulous creations! This week is our monthly Theme challenge.  It's hard to believe but school is back in session in Georgia.  Not sure when your area returns, but I chose a "Back To School" theme.  I taught school for 27 years and I still love all school themed things. I hope you will play along with us and make a card to encourage a special child, teacher, coach, bus driver or school personal.  HAVE FUN!
