Happy Saturday.

Jaydee here.  Thank you to those who participated in our gifting challenge last week.  It was wonderful to see such a diverse range of projects in our gallery.  Once again you all made it hard for us to choose our winners.

Let's see what caught the eye of our design team this week:

Michele F

I Card Everyone

Debbie

Paws to Scrap

Fran

Made in Oregon

Now for our HEADLINER:

Cynthia

Cynthia's Creative Corner

I fell in love with Cynthia's beautifully feminine box with its sparkly contents!  I mean, who wouldn't want to receive this bottle of sparkles so exquisitely packaged? The touch of blue for the ribbon with the white twine ribbon on top adds a wonderful pop of color and texture.  That DSP is just gorgeous and Cynthia's  design showcases that perfectly.  Congratulations, Cynthia you are my HEADLINER for this week.

Well, this is our final post for 2025 and we want to thank all of you who have supported our challenges during 2025.  Your participation means a great deal to us.  

We will be back on January 11 2026.  In the meantime we want to wish all of you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah and a very Happy New Year.

PP767 - A Theme Challenge from Jaydee

Happy Sunday and welcome to our final Paper Players challenge of 2025.  Jaydee here and before we get to my challenge this week I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of you who played along with Claire's fabulous Tic-Tac-Toe board last week.  It was wonderful to see so many different interpretations using the same set of words.  Also, thank you to all of you who played along with us during 2025.  Your support means a great deal to us, and is what keeps us going :-)

It's also the final challenge that we will see a Design Team card from the extremely talented Elizabeth Stewart.  Elizabeth is taking a break to concentrate on her studies.  We will miss her wonderful creations in our gallery each week, but we wish her all the best for her upcoming exams, and thank her for her contributions this past year.

Now, it's on to our challenge this year.  I chose an inspiration word that I think is on a lot of people's minds right now :-)

Now, let's see what fabulous creations our design team made for your inspiration:

PP765 - A Sketch Challenge from Ann

Hi, Stampers! It's your host, Ann.  Before we get to this week's challenge, The Paper Players would like to thank everyone who played along with Stef's Clean and Simple challenge last week. WOW! There were so many beautiful clean and simple cards in the gallery. We loved seeing your favorite iconic images of the holiday season. This week I have a fun sketch for you, designed to jump start your creativity.  It consists of a center section of three panels with a large margin all the way around. Will you show off that fancy paper you have been saving? Will you use images? Will you go a little cleaner and simpler or will you embrace the layers? Whatever you choose, we can't wait to see what YOU create!  But before you scamper off to gather up your stamps, papers, and inks, please check out what the Design Team has created for your inspiration!
