PP317 Challenge Winners

It warms my heart that so many of our fellow crafters love leaves as much as we do!  What a beautiful gallery of colors and textures.  We loved seeing all the the different ways you incorporated leaves into your clean-and-simple designs!

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

And now, for our Headliner: 

Shannon Jaramillo

Shannon's card is a stunning example of clean-and-simple design that isn't afraid of details.  From the repeated sentiment stamping to texture of the twine and deep colors of the leaves, Shannon's card is polished elegance and incredible design.  Congratulations Shannon, you are my choice for this week's Headliner!

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

I was totally wowed by EK's last minute entry. She did a superb job masking and arranging her creepy cast of characters, and her coloring is just perfect right down to the floor. The spare branches above were the perfect finishing touch. Congrats, EK! You are my headliner this week!

And now, for our Headliner:  

Stacey - Crafty Lil Mouse

                                                           

Stacey's trio of Santa cards are a winning combination of fun and festive! Expertly coloured, they really pop off the white panel and the bold patterned paper has a modern yet retro feel to it that compliments the Santas perfectly. Congratulations Stacey on being my headliner this week!
