PP811 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday everyone - Joanne here, and it is my pleasure to announce the winners of this week's colour challenge.  Firstly, a huge thank you to all of you who played along with our challenge this week.  It was wonderful to see your cards bursting with festive colour. 

Before we get to our Headliner for this week, let's see what caught the eye of our design team, in order of entry:

Bobby - Bits & Pieces

Karen Walker - Random Reflections

Deborah Wheeler - Deborah's Crafty Blog

Now for our Headliner:

Michele Ferguson - I Card Everyone

There were some fabulous cards in this week's gallery, but Michele's cosy festive sweater stopped me in my tracks! I'm not normally one for lots of embossed texture, but this sweater with its co-ordinating knitted mitten clutching a festive posy of shiny berries and pine, perfectly finished with a tiny gold star, won me over. Such a creative card. Congratulations Michele on being my Headliner this week!

Well done to everyone! Be sure to pick up your winner's badges here!  And don't forget to come back tomorrow for a new clean and simple challenge from Jaydee!

Hello Players, Joanne here.  Thank you to everyone who played along with Claire's Theme Challenge last week. There were all kinds of plaid that were used in so many ways for all seasons - truly pattern-tastic!

Felicita

LisaLuvs2Stamp

I love everything about Felicita's ugly sweater card.  The bold plaid is the perfect background!  The gold stitching on the collar and band adds so much detail and texture. The red jingle bells and gold pennants enhance this festive creation.  A puny sentiment always adds to the fun!  This card is the perfect way to showcase PLAID. Congratulations, Felicita 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 color challenge by the amazing JoAnn.

PP810 - A Theme Challenge from Claire

Hello Crafty Friends!  Claire here with this week's theme challenge. But before we get to those details, I would like to thank everyone who participated  in Christy's sketch challenge!  There were  so many fabulous creations!  We loved visiting all your blogs!

This week's challenge is PLAID!  I love plaid and I thought it would be fun to create projects with horizontal and vertical bands or stripes crossing each other to create crisscross or checkered designs.  We always see lots of plaid in clothing and in decorating.  A few types of plaid could be buffalo, gingham, tartan, windowpane and Glen plaid.  We can't wait to see what you create!  Be sure to check out what the Design Team has created to spark your imagination!
