PP797 - A Theme Challenge from Jan

Jan here and I'm delighted to welcome you to a new challenge at The Paper Players because I'm the hostess this week. Many thanks to you all for the delightful projects inspired by Christy's lovely sketch.

This week, I've got a theme challenge for you which I hope will appeal: For the Little Ones. Maybe you need a card or two for some new babies in your life (and their parents)? Maybe you need a birthday card for the tot in your life? Maybe you need a 'No reason except that I love you' card for that special grandchild, godchild, niece or nephew?  For whatever reason you need a something for a little one, then this is your challenge.


Here's some inspiration from the team to get your ideas flowing.



Challenge Rules:
  1. Create a new paper-craft project specifically for this challenge.
  2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
  3. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
  4. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
  5. Please be considerate of our requests; entries that do not follow any of these rules will be deleted without notification.
  6. Have fun, and thank you for playing with us!

PP796 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday, stamping friends!  Christy here and thank you to everyone who played along with my sketch last week, I loved seeing every single card in our gallery.  Before I get to my Headliner, take a look at what caught the eyes of our Design Team for our Cut Above winners:






And now for this week's Headliner, Karen Walker:


I love the contrast of the deep blue and crisp white, which totally makes me think of Greek islands, and the sweet little gold hearts and simple greeting are just perfect above the tile elements.  Congratulations Karen, you're my Headliner this week!  You can grab your badges here and be sure to come back tomorrow for a brand new challenge from Jan!

Hello, all!  LeAnne here, saying thanks for all your lovely CAS beachy cards this week! Refreshing and fun!  Before I get to my Headliner, let's see what the DT chose as their favorites:

Bobby


Alice


Ingrid


And now, for my Headliner:

Bonnie


I fell in love with this pretty seashell embossing folder that Bonnie used, especially in the aqua tone she used!  The hint of white to bring out the shells worked beautifully, and the pretty water drops added such a nice touch of realism!  Beautiful sentiment as well!  Congratulations, Bonnie, you're my Headliner this week!  Our winners can collect their badges from here.

Be sure to visit us tomorrow for a new challenge from Christy!

PP794 Challenge Winners

Hi Players
A huge shout out to those of you who played along with my color challenge this week.  We really enjoyed visiting all of your creations.  Before we get to our HEADLINER this week, let's take a look a what caught the eye of our design team:

Cat



Michele

Roseanne


And now on to our HEADLINER:

Rosemary




I'm always a sucker for a clean and simple card and Rosemary's creation is no exception!  Those whimsical florals are perfect with the bright pop of green.  The simple coloring works so well and all that white space allows the focal images to shine.  CAS perfection.  Congratultions, Rosemary, you are my HEADLINER this week. Our winners can collect their badges from here.

We hope you will join us tomorrow for LeAnne's Clean and Simple theme challenge.
