Weekly Reminder & NEW Guest Designers

There is still time to join us for LeAnne's Color Challenge (PP275).  To see the original post and view the Design Team inspiration, please click here. 

The Paper Players are delighted to welcome three new Guest Designers to our team.  These fabulous and talented ladies play along with us often and we love their creations so much, we asked them to join us for January - June, 2016. 

Please help us welcome:

Linda Callahan
Stampin' Seasons
Hi!  I'm Linda Callahan and am delighted to be a Guest Designer with The Paper Players!  I am a retired elementary school teacher who began stamping about 15 years ago when a student brought me in a beautiful basket of hand made cards for Christmas. When I asked him where he got them he replied, "Oh they are all over my house.  I can bring you more if you want!"  Turns out his mom was a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I hosted a party and I was hooked!  As a teacher I loved doing bulletin boards.....as a retired teacher I find that creating cards is like doing miniature bulletin boards! I live in the foothills of the Adirondack Mts. in upstate NY with my husband, a retired teacher and ski coach.  My son and daughter are grown but live nearby with their families - that include one granddaughter and four granddogs!  
Hello! I'm Colleen Begley and I live in the northern part of San Diego County in the small beach community of Leucadia, California.  I work in the healthcare field for a global Diagnostics company doing technical applications for laboratory analyzers.  Since my day job is all about science, my creative outlet is stamping and card making. I discovered stamping about 21 years ago when I happened into a stamp store while visiting a friend who lived in the Detroit area. I discovered the blogging community a few years ago and enjoy spending time viewing and reading blogs and participating in some of the various challenges that can be found around blog-land. The Paper Players challenges are a favorite of mine!  I’m so, so happy, and honored, to be invited as a Guest Designer with The Paper Players for the first half of 2016! I hope you enjoy my creations. Happy Stamping everyone!

Hannelie Bester
desert diva

Hi, my name is Hannelie Bester, I am a South-African, but lives in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) for the last 7 years .We moved to this part of the world because of a job opportunity that was offered to my husband. I started blogging soon after we moved here... hence the title of my blog!  Living so far away from my loved ones, made me realise how much I love them. Card making helps me cope with being far away from home, and challenges my right brain, since I am a left brained, logical and analytical pharmacist at heart!  Graphic, bold and creative are words I come across when people describe my style.  I am so excited to join this fabulous team as guest designer for the next 6 months!

 And now, my choice for Headliner: 
Ashwini

There were so many great cards in the gallery, but I kept coming back to Ashwini's stunning creation. I was absolutely smitten by her beautifully watercolored background and sparkly embossing, and the birds embossed on vellum are elegant and  beautiful. Well done, Ashwini! Congrats on being my headliner this week!
