Challenge #123 Winners

Hi Everyone. Once again, you made it really hard for the design team to choose their winners. Thanks to all of you for really rocking my sketch. We really do appreciate you playing along with us.

Here's what caught the eye of the design team this week as their Cut Above choices:

1. Ann's Choice: With its elegant paisley paper and richly colored poinsettia, Loll's card is an opulent treat for the eyes! Congrats, Loll, on being my pick this week!	2. Amy's choice: Amy's fabulous card has so many great details that won me over! The pearl-embellished ornaments, glimmer brads, embossing and ribbon all add up to a lovely rich card!	3. LeAnne's Choice: Vicki used one of my favorite winter images, and used it in such a pretty way! Her glimmer paper-matted sentiment adds just the right amount of zing! Congrats, Vicki!	4. Dawn's Choice: Allison's FUN Valentine card! It's so inspiring to see something fresh. The pretty highlighted heart is wonderful!! Congrats, Allison!
5. Nance's choice: Lynn's merry & bright color scheme and bold graphic design caught my eye immediately! Love her clever take on the sketch...love it all! Congrats, Lynn!	6. Helen's Choice: I was captivated by Gisela's gorgeous creation, with its elegant colour scheme, pretty trims & clever background treatment! Congrats, Gisela!	7. Jen's Choice: Jen's softly colored trees set on the glittery snow really do evoke a sense of Peace. Such a calm and clean card! Love it Jen!

And now, my choice for HEADLINER this week is Julie of Stamping with Julie. 

 I fell in love with Julie's unexpected black and white hybrid Christmas card.  The crispness of the black snowflakes against the white card stock and the basic rhinestones is stunning.  The black satin ribbon bow is beautiful and adds another level of elegance to an already elegant card.  The embossed background adds a fabulous level of dimension behind the focal layer.  A perfectly composed card that I kept returning to again and again.  Congratulations, Julie for being my Headliner this week. We hope you will proudly display your winner's badge on your blog.

 Don't forget to come back tomorrow.  The fabulous Ann has a great theme challenge for you all.
