PP315 Challenge Winners

Hello Everyone!  Claire here-- I am overwhelmed by all of the fantastic entries this week for my Halloween challenge!  I must admit, you made it very difficult for us to pick our winners!  A huge thank you to everyone that played along!  So many creative ideas ranging from fun to spooky!  


Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the design team.

And now, for our Headliner:  

Anita Madden

Just A Pigment Of My Imagination

Anita's card caught my attention and I kept coming back to it.  The fabulous distressed background is perfect to showcase her spinning bat!  I don't know if bats are ever cute, but this one made me smile!  The embossed sentiment is perfect!  Who wouldn't want to receive  this amazing happy mail?  Congratulations, Anita, YOU are my Headliner this week!  

Thank you for playing along with us!  Congratulations to all our winners, please pick up your badges here.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for a color challenge from Sandy!

Toni

Frankie Helps Craft

Toni's card made me smile.  I love those little dogs in their stitched circles and sequins dotted in some of the others.  The composition of this card is fabulous and the little dogs so beautifully colored.  Popping the front piece off that blue background makes the dogs pop even more.  The white sentiment on the black card stock is the perfect finishing touch.  A gorgeous card.   Congratulations, Toni on being my Headliner this week.

Thank you for playing along with us!  Congratulations to all our winners, please pick up your badges here.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for a pretty color challenge from LeAnne!
