Hi Everyone

Thanks to all of you who played along with my Tic Tac Toe challenge this week.  The gallery was filled with some of the most amazing creations.  It's wonderful how many different cards we had with the same choices.  Once again, it was really hard for the team to choose their winners.

Now, before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week.

And the Design Team selections for A Cut Above are....

1. Jan's Choice: Imke's tree, with silver trim and sequins, along with her clean design is gorgeous.	2. Deanne' Choice: The combination of gold sparkle and wood grain is totally SWOON worthy!!!	3. Joanne's Choice: Birgit's snowy woodland scene is so lifelike and the gold deer just beautiful!	4. Nance's choice: Amy's fabulous falling leaves on bold autumn sky capture the magic of fall--bravo!
5. LeAnne's Choice: Vicki's gorgeous wreath took my breath away with its beautiful elements; congrats!	6. Sandy: Jen's card has so much fabulous texture and I love the silver paired with soft neutrals!	7. Claire's Choice: Margo's adorable polar bear & hilarious sentiment made me LOL! Congrats!	8. Laurie's choice: Pam's winter scene is gorgeous! So beautiful. Congrats!
9. Annie's Choice: I just loved Linda's color scheme, layout, and die cuts for a happy BOO card! Bravo!

Now on to my headliner.

Stef

Perry Papercrafts

I instantly fell in love with the rich colors with such depth and shading.  The distressed inks positively shine from this wonderful scene.  I also love that Stef turned what feels traditionally a Christmas scene into a birthday card fit for framing.   Stunning.   Congratulations on being my HEADLINER, Stef.

Don't forget to pick up your winners badge and come back tomorrow for a fabulous theme challenge from the oh-so talented LeAnne.

PP365 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone - Joanne here! In reading the many blogs I've visited it seems a number of you found my chosen colour palette perplexing this week, especially with the inclusion of the peach colour. However the gallery is testament to the fact that you all definitely rose to the challenge though and produced some amazing projects! Thank you so much for playing along and sharing your creations with us at The Paper Players.

Now, before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week.

 
And now for our Headliner:

Mona Pendleton - Cupcake's Creations

Mona's pretty twig wreath with its accent flower and leaves is simple yet beautiful. I love the subtle details - the natural cardstock, the pierced frame, perfectly positioned button and unfussy sentiment - and the way she uses large areas of the peach colour without it overwhelming the other colours or elements of her card. Congratulations Mona on 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.  Please come back tomorrow for a Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Laurie!
