PP730 Challenge Winners

Hi, Stampers! It's Ann! I want to thank everyone for playing in my sketch challenge this week. There were so many fabulous cards gracing the gallery. We absolutely loved the variety and your interpretations of the sketch. The Design Team had our work cut out for us in picking out the winners.  Before we get to my choice for HEADLINER, let's see who was selected as our three top choices for CUTS ABOVE:









Mary Deatherage
Stamps-N-Lingers


Congratulations, Windy, Yvon and Mary! 


And now for my choice for Headliner:



Gorgeous colors, a fun sentiment and an adorable bird stole my heart! I could not take my eyes off this beautiful designer paper. I was mesmerized by how skillfully Christy water colored the bird to match the background. Three little gems were the perfect embellishments, drawing the eye straight to the quirky bird and cute sentiment. Congratulations, Christy, on being my 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 Tic-Tac-Toe challenge from LeAnne. Until then, happy stamping!

    PP729 Challenge Winners

    Happy Saturday everyone - Joanne here!
      Thank you to all of you who played along with my clean and simple challenge this week.  This week's entries showed how sometimes all you need is a single stamped image and a sentiment to make a card. There were some CAS beauties in the gallery and you made it very difficult for us to choose our winners.

      Before we get to our headliner for this week, let's look at the top 3 choices from the design team.


      Arlene Rose



      Windy Ellard



      Bobby

      Congratulations, ladies.  We hope you will take your badge and display it proudly on your blog.


      Now for our Headliner:



      Christy Stanford

      This fun dragon, peeking around the striped wall border, with his quirky expression and snarky sentiment, totally made me smile! The lemon-lime colour scheme is so  cheery and there's plenty of 'white' space to let that single image shine.  A perfectly clean and simple card! Congratulations Christy, you are my HEADLINER this week!

      Don't forget to come back tomorrow for a new sketch challenge from Ann - see you then!

      PP729 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Joanne

      Hello everyone - Joanne here! Welcome to this week's challenge at The Paper Players - I'm your hostess for this week. Thank you to everyone who participated in Jaydee's pastels colour challenge last week - such a pretty gallery full of soft and subtle shades.  This week it's Clean and Simple week and I'm looking for cards with just one single stamped image in addition to a sentiment if you wish.

      We're all looking forward to seeing what YOU do with this challenge. Just remember to keep things CLEAN and SIMPLE: minimal layers, lots of clean white space and few embellishments. 


      Here's some fabulous inspiration from the design team to get your ideas flowing:

      Happy Sunday and welcome to a new challenge at the Paper Players.  Jaydee here and it's my pleasure to host our challenge this week.  Before we get to our challenge, a huge shout out to all of you who played along with Claire's Spring challenge last week.  What a wonderful array of spring flowers we had in our gallery and we loved visiting your creations.  Congrats to our challenge winners and thanks again to all of you who played along.

      I hope you like this week's challenge.  It's the season (in some parts of the world at least!) for Spring and pastel colors just feel right :-).  Feel free to add black, white or another neutral.
