And now, on to my choice for this week's Headliner:

Erin T.

Erin's lake scene is so beautiful and peaceful.  I love how she masked out the circle for the scene and added one of my favorite quotes.  Perfection!

PP749 - A Theme Challenge from Stef

Hello, crafty friends!  Stef here to welcome you back to the Paper Players for a new challenge.  Before we get to that, I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful cards in the gallery using Jan's fabulous sketch. It was inspiring to see how many different ways you used her sketch.  Now, on to this week's challenge.

I love being by the water, having spent summer vacations each year at the Oregon coast.  This week, we'd love to see what your favorite place is by the water, whether it be a river, a lake or even your bathtub!

As always, the design team has some amazing inspiration for you.

PP748 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone! Jan here to share this week's winners with you.

I was delighted to see all the beautiful creations made using my sketch as the starting point. I love seeing the diversity a sketch brings out! Thank you all for playing along. 

Let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team for their Cut Above Favourites.

And now to my choice for Headliner...

Michele @ I Card Everyone

I'm someone who tends toward clean and simple design yet I couldn't stop thinking about the way that Michele mixed the different patterns and put them together in such an harmonious way. Not only did she so cleverly combine the various patterns but also managed to fit in three glorious snowpeople choristers while maintaining a wonderful sense of balance. Congratulations Michele! You are my Headliner of the week.

PP748 - A Sketch Challenge from Jan

Hello everyone! Jan here to welcome you to a new challenge at The Paper Players! Weren't the entries in LeAnne's  Clean and Simple Things With Wheels challenge last week fabulous? I loved the way people were so inventive about using things with wheels but while keeping the CAS vibe. Lots of you proved that CAS doesn't equate with dull!

This week is my favourite kind of challenge: a sketch. 

I love a sketch challenge and even more, I love seeing the many and varied projects that come from the same starting point, so I'm going to especially love visiting the gallery this week. 

Let's see what the design team have done.

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!
