PP744 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday.

Firstly, we hope that those of you who celebrate had a wonderful 4th July!    Secondly, a huge shout out to all of you who played along with my Tic Tac Toe board last week.  What a gallery we had and we loved visiting each and every one of your creations.

Before we get to our Headliner this week, let's check out what caught the eye of the design team.








And now on to my HEADLINER:



Jenny's hibiscus wedding card is full of so much wonderful texture.  That gorgeous embossed background is perfect for the profusion of flowers and leaves that make up the focal point.  The colors are subtle and are perfect for a wedding card.  The rounded corners of the sentiment tag echo the shapes of the flowers and bring the whole creation together.  Absolutely stunning.  Congratulations on being my HEADLINER this week, Jenny.

Congratulations to all of our winners.  We hope you will all join us tomorrow for Stef's fabulous THEME challenge.

PP744 - A Tic Tac Toe Challenge from Jaydee

Happy Sunday, Players.

Jaydee here and it is my pleasure to host our Paper Players challenge this week.  Before we get to our latest challenge, a huge shout out to those of you who played along with Eliz's fabulous one-layer clean and simple challenge last week.  We know that one-layer cards are hard, but you rocked the challenge!

As it's the 5th Sunday in June, we are playing Tic Tac Toe.  The board has choices of lots of layers or clean and simple - so it should give you lots of scope.





As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you.  Let's take a look at how they used the board.

    PP743 - A Sketch Challenge from Elizabeth

    Hello all! Elizabeth here with a new challenge for you!  First, thanks to everyone who participated in Claire's CAS challenge this past week! So fun to see all the "fruity" cards!  This week, I have an easy sketch to play with and a great way for you to exercise your coloring and stencil skills. Make a one layer card.

      What do we mean by a one layer card? AI says "A one layer card is a simple card made from a single piece of cardstock, with no additional layers or embellishments.  The design is directly printed, stamped, or drawn onto the surface of the card base." LeAnne has a more succinct definition: "If you need glue, it ain't one layer."  Perfectly put LeAnne.

    So step back... think about your old stamps and stencils and get inky!  We are looking forward to your creativity in the gallery.
    Challenge Rules:
    1. Create a new paper-craft project specifically for this challenge.
    2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
    3. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
    4. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
    5. Please be considerate of our requests; entries that do not follow any of these rules will be deleted without notification.
    6. Have fun, and thank you for playing with us!
