Mugdha

Craftomania

I fell in love with Mugdha's beautiful bouquet of hand-cut and punched flowers.  All of that wonderful white space really allows the focal images to shine.  I also loved the hand-written sentiment against that wonderful green background.   The little pearls in the middle of the flowers were the perfect finishing touch.  Stunning card.  Mughda, congratulations on being my HEADLINER this week.

PP389 Challenge Winners

Hi everyone, Sandy here with this week's winners. A big thank you to everyone who played along with my Magical challenge this week. We had so much fun looking at all your creations! As always, you made it quite difficult to chose winners.

Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week.

And now for our Headliner:

Colleen Begley

Colleen's Creative Corner

I was completely smitten with Colleen’s gorgeous creation. She combined the magical theme perfectly with the clean-and-simple element of this challenge. The elegant mermaid with her back turned lends an air of mystery. The bit of black provides contrast, and the delicate seaweed is the perfect subtle background. I love it all! Congrats, Colleen!

For this week's challenge, it's a CAS theme: "Magical". There are lots of ways you can go with this- unicorns, fairies, gnomes, mermaids, perhaps even flying pigs! Feel free to go wherever your imagination takes you, just have fun and remember to keep it CAS!

PP388 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday, everyone! LeAnne here; thank you so much for playing with my purple theme this week!  I found out that purple hues are challenging for many crafters, but you really got creative and made your projects shine!  Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week.

And now for our Headliner:

Aromas and Art

Su Mohr

Su's beautiful card is simple, beautifully-colored, and has a touch of spunk with that cute little sentiment!  The embossed background adds a lot of texture and the use of the new circle stamps is just a hint of what's to come in the new catalog!  Lots of interest and a great way to use the challenge colors!  Congrats, Su, for being my Headliner this week!

Thank you again to everyone for playing along with us.  Congratulations to all our winners, please pick up your badges here.  Come back tomorrow for a magical Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Sandy!
