PP415 Challenge Winners

Good morning everyone - Joanne here! I have enjoyed visiting each of your blogs this week and marvelling in your apple-themed clean and simple cards. So many lovely cards to choose from!

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:

YoonYoung Kim - DearCard

The oval leaf die cut border on YoonYoung's card really caught my eye; it frames the single red and green apple and sentiment perfectly and adds detail whilst still retaining a clean and simple design overall. Such a delicate and elegant card - congratulations YoonYoung 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.  Come back tomorrow for a fun Sketch Challenge from Anne Marie!

PP415 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Joanne

Hi Everyone!  It's Joanne here with a new challenge!  Thank you to everyone that played along with Jaydee's gorgeous colour challenge - there were some fabulous entries using these gorgeous fall colours and as always you made it difficult for us to choose our  winners!

This week, I have a Clean And Simple challenge for all of you with the theme of 'apples' in celebration of Apple Day this weekend (who even knew there was such a thing!) Red or green, from Cox's Orange Pippin to Golden Delicious, any can feature. Your apple or apples can be on any kind of card from teacher thank yous to back to school cards, thanksgiving and anything in between, The main thing to remember is that it is a CAS challenge:

What do we mean by Clean and Simple?

• Minimal layers and embellishments
• Plenty of open space, aka "white" space
• Simple and uncluttered

Let's see what the fabulous Design Team have created for you this week:

Kim's gorgeous CAS creation totally stole my heart.  That wonderful bouquet of flowers, with the perfectly placed bow is the perfect focal element.  The Sentiment layer helps to ground the focal element and is perfectly placed.  Fabulous take on the challenge.  Kim, congratulations on being my HEADLINER this week.

Hi everyone! Sandy here with this week's winners at The Paper Players. Thank you so much to everyone who played along with our challenge. The gallery was brimming with beautiful creations! 

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

Colleen

Colleen's Creative Corner

I thought that Colleen's card really captured the essence of this challenge. There are so many tree-themed elements to look at, from her beautifully subtle background to the expertly colored tree. The embossed branch is the perfect finishing touch. Congrats Colleen, you are my headliner this week!

PP412 Challenge Winners

Hi everyone!  LeAnne here, ready to show off this week's Paper Player winners!  First, let me say "thanks" to everyone who participated!  From spring florals to Christmas designs, you really showed your creativity!  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:

Jenny Engelke
Giddy Stamper

Jenny's pretty little scene is so warm and inviting!  Her pumpkin, embossed with the Cable Knit EF, is a clever take on those pumpkins we used to make with the oval punch!  The Tintype background and the gorgeous maroon ribbon and gold accents really take her country creation up a notch, as does the gold foil panel in the background!  Just delightful!  Congrats, Jenny, 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.  Come back tomorrow for a pretty Theme Challenge from Sandy!
