PP717 - A Sketch Challenge from Stef

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at The Paper Players!  Stef here and I have the pleasure of hosting our monthly sketch challenge.  Before getting to that, The Paper Players team would like to thank everyone who joined us last week for Jaydee's Clean and Simple challenge.  All the cards were absolutely amazing and we appreciate everyone that shared their gorgeous creations!

Now, on to the sketch.  It has an open panel to give you plenty of options as to what you'd like to create.  While it is in a landscape or horizontal configuration below, feel free to flip it to a portrait or vertical style, whatever suits your needs.  We just want you have fun and play along this week! But before you head off to your crafty space, take a peek below at what the design team has made for your inspiration.

PP716 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday.  

A huge thank you to all of you who played along with our Christmas themed challenge this week.  What a wonderful gallery of cards.  I know we say this often, but you REALLY made it hard for us to pick our winners this week.  Before we get to our HEADLINER this week, let's take a look at the top three choices from our design team - in order of submission:

Silke

 

Lisa

Nancy

And now for our HEADLINER:

Toni

Frankiehelpscraft

Toni's gorgeous blending with water drops makes for a magical background.  The white frame that seamlessly blends with the white frame of the card helps to keep the CAS feel.  Those gorgeous, multicolored die-cut trees add a fabulous amount of texture.  The whole card feels magical, whimsical and beautifully CAS.  Congrats, Toni, you are our HEADLINER this week.

Congratulations to Silke, Lisa, Nancy and Toni.  We hope you will take your winners badge and feature it on our blog.

Again, a huge thank you to all of you who played along this week.  We hope you will join us for Stef's fabulous sketch challenge tomorrow.

Colleen's handsome penguin quartet are dressed so stylish in their scarves and hats.  I love how she used the colors for their clothing, the balloons and the beautiful blended sky.  Everything about this card makes me smile.  The sentiment is just perfect and the inside of the card is just as special!  Congratulations Colleen, YOU are my HEADLINER this week!

PP714 - A Theme Challenge from Elizabeth

Welcome to the The Paper Players! I am Elizabeth and your host for our monthly theme challenge.  Our theme, this week, is GIVE THANKS.
