Winners for PP#209 - LeAnne's Clean & Simple Challenge

Hi peeps!  LeAnne here!  We truly enjoyed looking at all the children's birthday cards this week!  I know I got a lot of ideas for future creating!!!  So many great ideas!  Did you pin a few of them?  And so very hard to choose just one winner!  So let's see what the design team chose this week for their Cuts Above!
And LeAnne's choice for Headliner is.......
Judi


I loved Judi's xylophone card...what child hasn't learned his first musical notes while playing on one of these!!  The simple layout makes this card easy to reproduce, and the bright colors make it fun and festive!  What a creative idea!  Congrats, Judi, for being my Headliner this week!

Winners for Challenge PP208: Nance's Color Challenge

There is no doubt that many of you found this week's colors...challenging!  We enjoyed reading some of your "colorful" expressions of the creative journey that led to the beautiful cards we saw in the gallery.  Most of all I, Nance, loved hearing how you thought about color in a different way and were, yourself, so happy with the end result.  I would love to declare all of you winners for trying something new (proud grin, here!) but choose we must...before we see who this week's Headliner is, let's take a look at what caught the eye of the Design Team!
And Nance's choice for Headliner is.......

Jen Mitchell
You know how when you see some cards you loudly exclaim "Oh", your jaw drops and your nearby family or co-workers look at you funny?  Or, you let out a little squeal of delight?  That's exactly what I did when I saw Jen's gorgeous card!  I am amazed how she managed to use all four colors and still have all that beautiful white space.  The colors are perfectly balanced while the gray background stamping brings in the color but doesn't overwhelm the beauty of the other three.  Simply stunning!  So, for embracing these out-of-the-box colors my headliner is Jen Mitchell!  Congratulations, Jen--you, and your card, rock!

Susan's little birdie card is just so "tweet"! I love the modern layout combined with the rustic wood grain background, the cute little popped up birdie, and the use of a button in the center of the sun is pure genius! Congrats, Susan! You are my Headliner this week!

Paula's clean and colorful card caught my eye immediately! I loved the textured paper and the embossing, but it was the cheerful flowers that put a smile on my face.  Of course, how could I resist the pearls! Congratulations on being my choice for Headliner this week, Paula! Your card overwhelmed me with its awesomeness!
