Ashwini

Experiments with Card Making etc

Ashwini's card is simply gorgeous.  I love the green background with the watermarks.  

The muted colors of the layered lily stamp are perfect with the soft olive background.  

The floral images pop off the page and the sentiment is perfectly placed and the black centers 

of the flowers help to highlight the sentiment.  Absolute CAS perfection.  

Congratulations, Ashwini on being our Headliner this week.

PP327 Challenge Winners

Hi everyone! What an awesome gallery it was this week! So many stunning creations, thank you all so much for playing along. You made it especially hard to chose winners.

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

And now, for our Headliner: 

JanR

Huh. So this is a blog.

Jan's card is moo-chas adorable! Her happy little cow is the perfect choice for a black and white element, I love the strip of gingham grass as her pop of color, and the sentiment made me smile on a day I really needed one! I'm sure the lucky recipient will be equally pleased. Congrats Jan, you are my headliner this week!

PP326 Challenge Winners

Hi everyone!  LeAnne here...I had SO MUCH FUN looking at everyone's recycled creations this week...I think this might have been my favorite challenge ever!  You are all so creative in what you save and how you use those saved items; some are beautiful and some are just downright funny!  

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

And now, for our Headliner: 


Shawna

The Grand Stampede

Shawna's card came in at the last minute, and once I saw the Campbell's soup label, I couldn't wait to see how she used it!  Her fun technique with the words and letters made this creation visually interesting, and the little heart made it even more extra special!  And everyone knows chicken soup makes you feel better!  A wonderful way to recycle that label!  Congrats, Shawna, for being my Headliner this week!

Thank you again to everyone for playing along with us!  Congratulations to all our winners, please pick up your badges here.
