And now our headliner:      

Colleen
Colleen's Creative Corner

As soon as I saw Colleen's fan and punny sentiment, I was smitten!  Her fabulous coloring, use of fun diecuts and cute embellishments all add up to one FANtastic creation!  I love the square shape and her choice of DSPs as well, all mimicking the circular elements of her design.  Wouldn't you love to get this card?  Congrats, Colleen, on being my Headliner this week!

Winners for PP241: A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Nance

Wowzers, what watercolor wonders!  So many beautiful entries.  Thank you to all who played along with our Clean-and-Simple Watercolor challenge.  You really rocked it!  Now, before we get to this week's headliner--- let's see what caught the eye of the design team:

And now our headliner:      

Alisa Tilsner

I think my jaw hit the floor when I saw Alisa's beautiful card.  The combination of vibrant color with soft watercoloring catches the eye and makes for a beautifully striking design.  The white embossed edges of the image give such a soft look and the depth of her watercoloring is amazing.  Kudos, Alisa...this might just be the prettiest card I have seen with this stamp set!  Congratulations on being my choice for Headliner this week!

Winners, please pick up your badges--available HERE! Be sure to check back tomorrow for a super sketch challenge hosted by our friend, Ann.  See you soon!
