PP349 - Jaydee's Clean-and-Simple Challenge

Jaydee here and it's my pleasure to host a challenge this week.  Before we get to our current challenge - huge thank you to all of you who shared your fabulous creations using LeAnne's colors.  You rocked the challenge and we can't wait to see what you do with this challenge.  A challenge that is in both style and theme - very close to my heart.    However, even though it is a perfect challenge for me to host - it is actually the brain child of the very talented Sandy - but I am standing in for her this week as she takes a well earned break.

Let's see what our amazing design team have created as inspiration for you:

And now for our Headliner...

Kaya

Kajcyika Crafts

I fell in love with Kaja's little elephant in his hot air balloon.  The clouds floating behind the balloon are perfectly placed and I love the mix of blues running in different directions.  The black sentiment banner with the white embossing pops off the background and helps to ground the focal element.  All of that lovely white space around the focal element makes my CAS loving heart happy.   Gorgeous card.  Kaja, congratulations on being my HEADLINER this week.

Thank you again to everyone for playing along with us!  Congratulations to all our winners, please pick up your badges here.  Please come back tomorrow for a  fresh Color  Challenge from LeAnne!

Hi Everyone.  Welcome to theme week at the Paper Players.  This week I chose a universal theme - one that is always in fashion:-)  As you created some amazing cards for Nance's sketch challenge last week, we can't wait to see what you do with our BIRTHDAY theme.

As usual, the design team have some amazing inspiration to share with you.  Hopefully these fabulous cards will get your creative juices flowing.

So many awesome cards for the sketch this week! It is always so hard to choose.

Dawn Easton

Dawn's card is so bright and cheerful, and I loved the way she utilized the sketch. The embossed background adds so much interest, and I like how she popped up the middle panel. The little hot air balloons go so well with the sentiment,too. Congrats Dawn, you are the Headliner this week!
