PP808 Challenge Winners

Hello crafty friends!  Stef here and I want to thank everyone who joined in my Clean and Simple Happy Autumn challenge.  We enjoyed all of your fall cards, with the beautiful colors and lovely CAS designs.  It was a delight to visit each of your posts to see what you were inspired to create!

Before I get to my Headliner for this week, let's take a look at what caught the eye of the design team.....

And now for my Headliner:

Bobby

The look of the barrel of colorful gourds against that dark brown background brought a richness and beauty to Bobby's amazing CAS autumn card.  I loved the wonderful variety of the gourds and the elegance of the metallic embossed sentiment.   Congratulations, Bobby, you are my Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all of the winners!  Be sure to pick up your badges here.  

Please join us tomorrow for a sketch challenge from the amazing Christy.

PP808 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Stef

Hello crafty friends!  Stef here with this week's new CAS challenge but before we dive into those details, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in Jan's color challenge and extend congratulations to all the winners!

Now, onto this week's challenge.  I love autumn and since we're in the middle of October, I thought it would be great to fill the gallery with Clean and Simple autumnal cards!  Just a reminder to keep your cards uncluttered with "white" space along with limited layers and embellishments.

PP807 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend and find some crafting time for yourself. I was delighted by the many different uses people found for my colour challenge this week. There were gorgeous entries in the gallery with everything from Christmas to tropical islands in the mix.

Before I get to my Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the rest of the Design Team...

Windy Ellard

Bobby - Bits & Pieces

Wanda - Cullen-ary Creations

And now for my Headliner.

Sandy M

I kept coming back to the clean, crisp look of Sandy's Christmas card. I hadn't known that juniper berries were blue but they made a colourful focus for the Christmas spray. The warm textured oval was a great grounding for the spray and the white--on-white foliage framed the whole thing perfectly. The clean, bright take on Christmas was just fabulous! Congratulations, Sandy - you are my Headliner this week.

Congratulations to all of our winners. Be sure to pick up your badges here.

Come back tomorrow for a Clean-and-Simple Theme Challenge from Stef.

PP807 - A Colour Challenge from Jan

There were many gorgeous and varied landscapes on display in last week's gallery for Ann's Nature's Landscapes theme. Thank you, if one of them was yours! 

Jan here and this week, it's my turn to host the challenge. I have a bright spring colour palette for you to play with. I know many of you will be looking out towards an autumn landscape but here, in the South Pacific, we're enjoying the return of spring. I'd love to see what you do with these colours.

You are free to add black and white, as long as the challenge colours remain the stars of the show.

Be sure to check out the Design Team's inspiration below.

PP806 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday, Stampers! Ann here! I want to thank everyone who participated in my theme challenge, "Nature's Landscapes".  From wheat fields and forests to mountains and snow, our gallery was filled with such beautiful cards. What fun we had in selecting our winners!

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

A. Rose - Sundaystamper Papercrafts

Michele - I Card Everyone 

Amy - Stamp With Amy K

And now for my Headliner:

Windy Ellard - Windy's Wonderful Creations

Windy's card illustrates how a simple design paired with beautiful paper results in an absolutely stunning card. The embossed frame adds rich texture, while its Pumpkin Pie color brings out the autumnal colors of the designer paper.  More texture is added by the twine bow, which draws the eye right to the copper embossed sentiment. What an amazing card!  Congratulations on being my Headliner, Windy!

Congratulations to all of the winners!  Be sure to pick up your badges here.  

Please join us tomorrow for a color challenge from the amazing Jan. 

Until then, happy stamping!

PP806 - A Theme Challenge from Ann

Hey, Stampers!  It's Ann here with a new theme challenge. Before we get into the details, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in Jaydee's sketch challenge. What wonderful cards you all created using Jaydee's fabulous sketch. I know it is one I will be using again. 

Now on to this week's challenge. How about celebrating Mother Nature in all her glory with a theme of "Nature's Landscapes"? Let's hike through forests filled with stately trees! Let's cast our gaze upon the relaxing waterfronts of oceans and lakes, rivers and streams.  Let's behold the majesty of the mountains.  Let's feel the shimmering heat of the desert or the icy nip of freshly fallen snow. Whatever landscape inspires you, we can't wait to see what YOU create! But first, be sure to check out what the Design Team has created to spark your imagination.

PP805 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday.

WOW!  What a wonderful gallery this week.  Every week our players make it difficult to choose our winners but, for some reason, this week was particularly hard.  A huge thanks to all of you who played along and shared your creations.  Before we get to our HEADLINER, let's take a look. at what caught the eye of our design team:

Sandy M

Jenny

GiddyStamper

Bobby

Bits'nPieces

And now to our HEADLINER.  I have to admit I would have chosen several winners this week if the rules would let me.  I went backwards and forwards on so many different cards.  In the end, I just couldn't resist a little tiny mouse pulling his present on a sled wearing a bright yellow jersey.  That silly little mouse with his cute face brought me back time and again.  I also love the way TK matched the color of his jumper and the ribbon to the background paper.  She did the same with the red background layer and the sentiment color.  Such a fun card.  Congrats TK your little mouse is our HEADLINER for this week :-)

I hope you will join us again tomorrow.  Ann has a wonderful theme for you and we can't wait to see what you create using it.

Congratulations to all our winners and don't forget to pick up your badges HERE.
