PP783 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday, crafty friends!

It's time to announce the winners of PP783.  I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who participated, it was an amazing gallery full of such a wonderful variety of takes on my sketch, it really made it difficult for all of the design team to choose winners.  We appreciate each and every one of you that played along!

In no particular order, here are the design team choices for the Cut Above winners:

Amy Koenders

Suzy Hinton

Bobby

And now for this week's Headliner:

Karren

Karren's mixed media card had me enthralled just looking at it.  All the layers of stamping, texture and various elements combined to make one amazing card!  Congratulations, Karren, you're my Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all of our winners, we appreciate you joining in this week and sharing your wonderful creativity.  Please be sure to come back tomorrow, when the lovely Jaydee is hosting our Theme challenge.

PP783 - A Sketch Challenge from Stef

Hello Crafty Friends!  It's Stef here with the pleasure of hosting our new challenge but first let me thank everyone who joined us for Christy's Clean and Simple challenge last week.  It was a treat to see a gallery filled with sweet baby animal cards and we really appreciate you sharing your wonderful creations.

PP782 Challenge Winners

Hey stampers!  Christy here with the winners from this week's challenge for CAS cards featuring baby animals.  Thank you to everyone who played along with us this week!  We had a tough time narrowing down our winners for today thanks to all of you filling our gallery with lots of baby cuteness, but here's what caught the eye of the design team for our Cut Above winners.  In order of entry to our gallery, we have:

Arlene R.

Rachel D

Vicki Burdick

And now for this week's Headliner, Bobby:

Bobby's card is perfectly CAS and that little elephant could not be any cuter.  Paired with an unforgettable greeting and a so-soft blue background, this card is practically perfect in every way, just like babies!  Congratulations Bobby, you're my Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all our winners this week, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing your creativity in our gallery.  We'll see you here tomorrow for a wonderful sketch from the equally wonderful Stef!

PP782 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Christy

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Christy here, and big thanks to everyone who played along with Jan's color challenge last week.  Our gallery was Daffodil Delight-full and so very pretty!

This week is Clean And Simple week and our theme is baby animals!  So many animals are born in the spring, whether it's in the wild, at a zoo, or on a farm, so I thought now was the perfect time to focus on these cuties!  Bring on the puppies and kittens and cubs and chicks and fawns and everything else.

Check out some beautiful cards by our lovely design team:

PP781 Challenge Winners

Hello Stampers,

Jan here. Thank you to everyone who played along with my bold colour challenge this week. The colours took you all in many directions from bees and flowers to cocktails and lemonade stands. There were so many gorgeous creations that choosing winners has been hard.

Before we get to my Headliner this week, let's look at our Cut Above winners, chosen by the Design Team. 

Bobby - Bits & Pieces

Michele - I Card Everyone

Trina = Phamtastic Design

And now for my Headliner, Deborah Wheeler

I was struck by the clean and simple elegance of Deborah's fun birds. It's a great example of the 'less is more' idea. Their quirky personalities made me smile. 

Congratulations, Deborah. You are my Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all the winners - be sure to pick up your badges here!  Be sure to come back tomorrow for a Clean and Simple challenge from Christy.

PP781 - A Color Challenge from Jan

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new week at The Paper Players. Jan here and I'm your hostess for this week. Thanks so much to those of you who entered LeAnne's Spring Showers theme challenge last week. The gallery was small but oh, my - it was full of gems. 

This week, it's colour week and I've chosen a bold and graphic colour palette for us to play with. When I sat at my desk earlier in the week to play it, I began to wonder what I'd been thinking when I picked it but once I started creating, I loved it. I hope that you find it as much fun as I did. 

I'm excited to see what you all do with it. 

 

Before you begin, here's some inspiration from the team.
