PP739 Challenge Winners

Hello stampers, LeAnne here! So much fun to see all your submissions using my sketch this week!  Let's see what the design team chose as their favorite Cuts Above:
Colleen Begley


Michele Ferguson
I Card Everyone


Amy Koenders
Stamp With Amy K


And finally, my choice for Headliner

Sandy


I loved the nautical theme Sandy chose! The clean, crisp images work wonderfully against the sailboat background paper, and that sweet diecut sentiment is perfect for a masculine card!  Congratulations, Sandy, you're my Headliner this week!  

Congratulations to all our winners! Be sure to pick up your badges HERE! And be sure to stop back tomorrow for a new challenge from Jan!

    PP738 Challenge Winners

    Hi everyone, it's Joanne here! I want to thank everyone for playing in my clean and simple challenge this week. There were so many fabulous cards gracing the gallery and whilst some of them pushed the boundaries of clean and simple, there was a plethora of things that fly. There were the usual birds, bees and butterflies, but also a few less obvious appearances, from helicopters, to dragons and even that perennial Ghostbusters favourite, slime! A fabulous collection of 'winged things'. The Design Team had our work cut out for us in picking out the winners.  Before we get to my choice for HEADLINER, let's see who was selected as our three top choices for CUTS ABOVE:


    And now for my choice for Headliner:

    Deborah Wheeler


    Of all the winged creations in the gallery this week, it was Deborah's Christmas fairy that captured my heart! Simply coloured using just three main colours, the subtle sponged blue behind highlighted the image beautifully and the addition of the soft stencilled stars were the perfect finishing touch to this clean and simple beauty. CONGRATULATIONS Deborah, YOU are my HEADLINER this week! 

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

    Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new sketch challenge from LeAnne. 
    Until then - Happy Stamping!

    Hi, Stampers! It's Ann! I want to thank everyone for playing in my color challenge this week. There were so many beautiful cards gracing the gallery. The Design Team loved what you created. We certainly had our work cut out for us in picking out the winners.  Before we get to my choice for HEADLINER, let's see who was selected as our three top choices for CUTS ABOVE:

    A. Rose

    Colleen Begley

    Tracy Grauer



    And now for my choice for Headliner:

    Lisa Elton



    Lisa's charming birdhouses and sweet sentiment brought a smile to my face. After all, who can resist a pink striped birdhouse? The hemstitched panel added interest while keeping a clean and simple vibe. The pearl accents made this "pearl lovers" heart happy. Congratulations, Lisa, on being my choice for Headliner this week!

    PP736 Challenge Winners

    Hi everyone, it's Joanne here! I want to thank everyone for playing in my theme challenge this week. There were so many fabulous cards gracing the gallery. We absolutely loved the variety and seeing how you mixed your old favourites with new purchases. The Design Team had our work cut out for us in picking out the winners.  Before we get to my choice for HEADLINER, let's see who was selected as our three top choices for CUTS ABOVE:





    And now for my choice for Headliner:

    JoAnn



    JoAnn's card is so pretty!  The detail on her punched flowers really brings them to life and they highlight the trellis-covered lemon panel beautifully. The bold florals contrast with the delicate trellis detail perfectly and the embossed frame and focal sentiment is the perfect finishing touch. A seamless blend of old and new! CONGRATULATIONS JoAnn, YOU are my HEADLINER this week! 

    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 Ann.
