And now our Headliner:

Krystal Roberts

Red Hot Stampers

I loved the tropical feel of Krystal's card; the focal image brought a Hawaiian flair to her card and the coordinating papers were great for the background!  But her sentiment treatment was so clever, I kept coming back to it, it was amazing!  Congratulations, Krystal, for being my Headliner this week!

Once again, thank you to everyone for playing along with us.  Congratulations to all our winners! Please be sure to pick up your badges here. We hope you will display them proudly.  Come back tomorrow for a bonus Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge from Jaydee!

And now our Headliner:

 Cathy Roffey

Cathy's Card Spot

Cathy's entry was a standout in the gallery this week. The bamboo image and green panel  lent an air of serenity and calmness to her card.  The butterfly, colored to perfection, was a wonderful accent, drawing the eye right to the sentiment. Congratulations, Cathy, on being my Headliner this week!

Hello Stampin' Friends!  It's Ann! Before I unveil our new challenge, The Paper Players want to thank everyone who played along with Claire's Color Challenge.  Our gallery was filled with amazing cards in all shades of Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, and Pool Party!  You guys rocked it!

This week, I am thrilled to be hosting our monthly Clean and Simple challenge, one with a theme of "Men in Mind". Yep, we are looking for clean and simple masculine cards. So pull out the stamps, inks, and paper! We can't wait to see what you create!

REMEMBER THIS IS CLEAN AND SIMPLE WEEK 

What do we mean by Clean and Simple?

Minimal layers and embellishments

Plenty of open space, aka "white" space

Simple and uncluttered

And now our Headliner:

          

Nancy Leppek

Scrapper at Heart

The moment I saw Nancy's plaid background, I knew she was my choice this week!  The colors combined in this plaid is a showstopper.  Her embossed panel adds so much dimension and those flowers (even if they gave you a fit, Nancy) are gorgeous!  The sentiment definitely reflects the times!   Congratulations Nancy, YOU are my HEADLINER this week! 

Once again, thank you to everyone for playing along with us.  Congratulations to all our winners! Please be sure to pick up your badges here. We hope you will display them proudly.  Come back tomorrow for a fun Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Ann!
