PP779 Challenge Winners

Hi, stampers! Ann here! Thank you so much to all of you who played along with my Tic-Tac-Toe challenge this past week. WOW! With several stand-out cards in the gallery, we definitely had our work cut out for us in narrowing down the field to our top picks. 

Before we get to our HEADLINER this week, let's take a look at our CUT ABOVE winners as chosen by our design team.

Bobby - Bits & Pieces



Sandra Strobel - shjaris



Karren Johnson - KarrenJ - Stamping Stuff 



And now for my choice for Headliner:

Cindy Beach - Stamps, Paper and Ink



Elegant with its gold-embossed bouquet and touches of gold embellishments, Cindy's gorgeous card is a masterpiece of layering. The sweetly scalloped stitched panel and stitched frame create the perfect backdrop for the delicately colored flowers. As the tag sentiment states, this card will definitely bring joy to the lucky recipient. Congratulations, Cindy, on being my Headliner this week!
 

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

Please join us tomorrow for a Theme challenge from the lovely LeAnne. Until then, happy stamping!

Cindy's disco ball card is so fun!  I am a disco lover and this card shouts retro!  I love the color combo, the graphic paper and of course the disco ball!  The sentiment adds so much sparkle and the twine is the perfect finishing touch!  Congratulations, Cindy, YOU are my HEADLINER this week!

PP777 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday.
A huge thank you to all of you who played along with our Clean and Simple Floral challenge this week.  The gallery was filled with gorgeous creations and the design team had a hard time choosing their favorites.

Before we get to our Headliner, let's take a look at our design team choices for CUT ABOVE this week:

Arlene




Bobby


Maria



And now on to our HEADLINER.

This submission managed to squeeze under the close off time and we are so happy it did!  Nance's tulip card is bold and beautiful.  The blues and purples work perfectly together.  The offset layout in the bottom right corner is unexpected.  The bright green of the leaves lift the darker colors and the soft blending behind the florals helps to highlight them, and ground them.  Nance's card is CAS perfection.  Congratulations, Nance, you are my HEADLINER this week.
