Lisa Elton

Mumu's Paperology

And now for my Headliner:

Homemade Card by Erin

 

Erin

I was totally enamored of Erin's little camper, simply stamped in black and white!  The stitching in the background really added to the fun, and that simple map background, in such a wonderful color, added a pop of contrast.  But the punny sentiment sealed the deal! SO perfectly cute and perfectly CAS!  Congratulations, Erin, you're our Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all the winners!  You can pick up your winner's badges HERE.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new sketch challenge from Jan! Until then, happy stamping!

Hi, Stampers! It's Ann! I want to thank everyone for playing in my color challenge this week. There were so many beautiful cards gracing the gallery. The Design Team loved what you created.

I Card Everyone

Gorgeous freesia die cut flowers steal the show on Michele's beautiful card. While a yellow die cut "ribbon" connects everything together, brick embossing provides a lovely backdrop for the wreath. Michele, you showcased the challenge colors perfectly. Congratulations on being named my Headliner this week!

PP744 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday.

Firstly, we hope that those of you who celebrate had a wonderful 4th July!    Secondly, a huge shout out to all of you who played along with my Tic Tac Toe board last week.  What a gallery we had and we loved visiting each and every one of your creations.

Before we get to our Headliner this week, let's check out what caught the eye of the design team.

Windy

Cindy

Karen

And now on to my HEADLINER:

Jenny

Jenny's hibiscus wedding card is full of so much wonderful texture.  That gorgeous embossed background is perfect for the profusion of flowers and leaves that make up the focal point.  The colors are subtle and are perfect for a wedding card.  The rounded corners of the sentiment tag echo the shapes of the flowers and bring the whole creation together.  Absolutely stunning.  Congratulations on being my HEADLINER this week, Jenny.

Congratulations to all of our winners.  We hope you will all join us tomorrow for Stef's fabulous THEME challenge.
