PP734 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone, it's Elizabeth and I have the challenge winners for PP734.  First,  thank you to everyone who joined my CAS challenge featuring BUNNIES this week.  The spectrum of bunnies was wonderful from the adorable to the bold.  Thank you for sharing your creativity!

Before I reveal my Headliner for this week, let's look at the Cut Above choices from the team.










And now, for the Headliner!



I love Silke's sweet one-layer card.  The bunnies are adorable and so well-colored, and the rainbow overhang is perfect for the card.  So wonderful!


Congratulations to all the winners!  You can pick up your winner's badges HERE.

PP733 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone, it's Stef with the challenge winners for PP 733.  First of all, a huge thank you to all who joined my color challenge this week.  Lots of lovely floral cards but also ones that went a different creative direction, which was equally wonderful to see.  

Before I reveal my Headliner for this week, let's look at the Cut Above choices from the team.






And now, onto my Headliner!



With the texture of the press plate and the soft stenciling, Michele created a simply stunning floral background in the challenge colors.  You could see the love she put into it and on the sentiment!) for a very special recipient.  Congratulations, Michele - you are my Headliner!

Congratulations to all the winners!  You can pick up your winner's badges HERE.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new CAS Challenge from Elizabeth.  Have a great week!

PP732 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone! Jan here.

Many thanks to everyone who played along with my travel theme challenge this week. Whether you showed us the destination, the journey or the mode of transport we loved seeing what you made of the theme. There were many fabulous cards that made choosing a winner very tricky indeed!

Before we get to our headliner for this week, let's look at the Cut Above choices from the design team, in order of entry.

Erin T


Rosemary D



Wanda C


And for my Headliner:

Windy Ellard


The summer colours and weathered textures in Windy's card transported me immediately to my favourite holiday destination: the beach. As tempted as I was by other designs, I kept being drawn back to this card with the perfectly layered cluster and the promise of more summer. Congratulations, Windy - you are my Headliner!

Congratulations to all the winners!  You can pick up your winner's badges HERE.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new Colour challenge from Stef. Until then, happy stamping!
