And now to our headliner:

Antonia Speelman

Just Antonia

Antonia's clean and simple creation is absolutely stunning and elegant. Plenty of white space allow the flowers to really stand out, and I really love her coloring of them. A simple, heartwarming sentiment finishes off this card beautifully. Congrats on being my Cut Above this week, Antonia! 

The awesome Mike Funke will be leaving us after this challenge, and on behalf of the entire Design Team, a big thank you to you Mike! You've been a pleasure to work with, and we appreciate all your hard work and wonderful creations. Big hugs to you!

And now to our headliner.

Stef @ Ingenious Inkling

As a computer engineer, Stef's card made me laugh.  The only thing missing on this great shirt is a pocket protector with pens in every color!   I love the way she placed the darker grey piece in the background to help highlight it even more.  The square all askew was fabulous and the placement of the buttons is a great way to draw the eye to the main elements.   CAS perfection.  Congratulations on being my HEADLINER this week, Stef.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new sketch from the fabulous Sandy.

And Ann's choice for Headliner is.......

Mary Ann Rossiter

Stampin' Mak

I immediately fell in love with Mary Ann's card the moment I saw it! I love the depth and dimension of the torn paper hills.  The stamped and snipped the trees are definitely sporting the colors of autumn. And who can resist those adorable pumpkins?  They remind me of growing up on the farm, when we would head out to the pumpkin patch and pick out the best ones for jack-o-lanterns.  Congratulations....and happy fall, Mary Ann! You are my choice for Headliner this week!
