PP448 Challenge Winners

Hi everyone it's Joanne here with the results of this week's challenge! TicTacToe week is always fun as it leads to such a wide variety of cards and styles. So many beautiful cards in the gallery and different ways to work the grid your blogs this week. I particularly loved the profusion of yellow in the gallery - it made for a gallery full of sunny and cheery projects! Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week:

And now our Headliner:

Annemarie and Merit - Scraparound Girls

I had a helper when choosing my Headliner this week as one of the James Juniors insisted on a view and luckily we were in agreement on who should get the vote! Annemarie and Merit's sweet sloth nestled amongst those bold, delicately textured yellow lilies is so cute  - I just want to give him a hug! Congratulations to you on being my Headliner this week!

And now our Headliner:

Jan Clothier - Thinking Stamping

There were some fabulous creative cards in this week's gallery, but I kept coming back to Jan's vintage collage panel card. I love the soft colours and am in awe of the collage-style stamping that Jan makes look so effortless. The subtle embossing,especially of the foil behind the sentiment, along with all those touches of gold make for a stunning and elegant card. Congratulations Jan on being my Headliner this week!

PP447 - A Sketch Challenge from Jaydee

Hi everyone, it's Joanne here! This week's sketch is brought to us courtesy of the lovely Jaydee, however you may have noticed that she has been absent from our challenges for the last few weeks. She had a nasty fall that has left her out of crafting action for a while so I am hosting on her behalf this week - get well soon wishes from us all Jaydee! This really is a great sketch with lots of creative possibilities. I can't wait to see what you make of it!

But first, let's take a peek at what the Design Team has created for your inspiration.

Amy Tsuruta

Tsuruta Designs

Amy's card made me smile!  I love all the rainbow colored sodas.  In Indiana, we always called it "POP"!  The paper pieced lemons add a burst  of color and highlight the rainbow colors.  The white sentiment on the strip of black is the perfect contrast to the white in her CAS card.  Congratulations Amy!  YOU are my HEADLINER this week!

And now our Headliner:

Wendy Aungst from Wee Bee Stampin 4 Fun

Wendy really showcased my trio of colors beautifully! She also inspired me to look at this stamp set in a whole new light. I really liked how the polka dot paper compliments the dots in the stamped image and that little bow adds the perfect pop of texture. Just an all-around cheerful card that would truly brighten the day of anyone who was lucky enough to receive it. So pretty! Congratulations to you Wendy on being my Headliner this week!

And now for our Headliner:

Hansi - Quilting with Paper

Hansi's beautifully colored peek-a-boo gull card had me dreaming of the Atlantic shoreline. While the cutout circle hints at what lies within, the full view of the inside, complete with a lighthouse, is absolutely stunning!

Thank you, Hansi, for sharing your talents with us.  Congratulations on being my choice for Headliner this week!
