PP786 Challenge Winners
Hi, stampers! Ann here! Thank you so much to all who played along in my CAS - Food challenge this past week. Sushi, pasta, fruit and sweets! So many yummy cards had our mouths watering. With several stand-out cards in the gallery, we definitely had our work cut out for us in narrowing down the field to our top picks.
Before we get to our HEADLINER this week, let's take a look at our CUT ABOVE winners as chosen by our design team.
Deb Horst - Sendable Sentiments
Carol McFarland - Saw it. Had to Make It.
And now my choice for Headliner:
Colleen Begley - Colleen's Creative Corner
With its abundance of white space and minimal embellishments, Colleen's adorable card is Clean and Simple perfection. The lovely lady, in her heart patterned dress and pulled back hair, is as cute as can be. And seriously, who can resist a cupcake? I'll take a dozen, please! Congratulations, Colleen, on being my choice for Headliner this week!
Congratulations to all of the winners! Be sure to pick up your badges here.
Please join us tomorrow for a fabulous sketch challenge from the amazing LeAnne.

PP785 Challenge Winners
Happy Saturday and welcome back to the Paper Players. It's time to announce the winners of PP785. A huge thank you to all of you who played along with our Color Challenge last week. It was great to see the different ways you used the bright, bold colors.
Suzy Hinton
Colleen's beautiful card stole my heart from the minute I saw it in the gallery. I will admit, tulips are my favorite flower. The purple background and the black panel are the perfect way to draw your attention to all the fabulous words of encouragement on the turquoise. The scalloped die cut adds a feminine touch and the vellum softens the panel and showcases the beautiful purple tulips. The bold black sentiment is a fantastic sentiment to celebrate the new graduate. Congratulations, Colleen, YOU are my HEADLINER this week!
Before we get to our HEADLINER, let's see the top picks from our DT this week:
Deborah Wheeler
Bobby
And now on to our HEADLINER:

Challenge 784 Winners
Happy Saturday and welcome back to the Paper Players. A huge thank you to all of you who played along with our Feminine challenge last week. It really was wonderful to see such a diverse array of feminine cards and was proof that feminine is more than just pink and lace. From sophisticated black to vintage collages, and from drinks to dancing, it was a fabulous gallery.
Before we get to our HEADLINER, let's see the top picks from our DT this week:
Nancy
Jolanda
Colleen
Amanda
Amanda's pretty in pink and peach creation is right on trend and I love it paired with the light mint green and deeper teal. The panels add wonderful interest and texture without detracting from that fabulous sentiment. The scalloped edges ensure that your eye is drawn right into the sentiment and the soft gold, peach and green florals frame her sentiment beautifully. The light pink enamel dots work so well with the gold dots from the inside of the flowers and the whole composition keeps your eye moving around to see more.
Congratulations, Amanda. You are my HEADLINER this week. We hope that all our winners will collect your badges and display them with pride.
Don't forget to join us again tomorrow. The fabulous Claire has a fresh, clean and bright color challenge for you all.
Jaydee
