Winners - Paper Players Challenge #105 Jaydee's Sketch Challenge Winners

WOW.  You all made it really difficult to choose a headliner again this week.  It never ceases to amaze me how one sketch can have so many wonderful interpretations.   I loved that we had clean and simple, vintage, humorous, seasonal, bold and graphic - it really was great to see so many different styles.

Jaydee's choice for HEADLINER this week is

Eileen

Eileen's card is stunning and very evocative.  It felt so Edwardian to me.  The old folded newsprint, the clock, the black organdy ribbon and the black and silver brads.  I felt as though I was on a train in England in the early part of the last century looking at a traveling couple all dressed in black and off-white.  Cards can so often create an emotional response - and this one certainly did.  Eileen pulled all of these elements together so beautifully, the card is wonderfully composed and it took me on a journey.  Eileen, congratulations on being our HEADLINER this week, and thank you for taking me down memory lane.   Feel free to add your winner badge to your blog
Now, let's see what caught the eye of our fabulous design team for our CUT ABOVES.  All the CUT ABOVES can wear proudly display the badge below on their blogs.

Winners for LeAnne's CAS Challenge #104

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me when I gaze at the gallery and see all the talented stampers that play along each week!  It makes it really difficult to choose just one winner!  But I painfully narrowed it down; I say painfully, because it really hurt to not choose every one of my many "favorites" for my Wordsmith Challenge!  But here we go:

LeAnne's choice for Headliner this week is: 
Rita Wright - Rita's Creations

Wow, when I saw this gorgeous CAS creation, my heart leaped!  Silent Night is my favorite Christmas hymn, and Cherry Cobbler is my favorite red!  And doesn't that bow just top it all off like a beautiful Christmas gift!  If you look closely, there is a tree image stamped on top of the verse and glittered with Iridescent Ice EP!  Swoon!  I love everything about it!  Congrats to you, Rita, you are my choice for this week's Headliner!

LeAnne's Clean & Simple Challenge #104


Hi everyone!  LeAnne here, with a fun clean and simple challenge this week...Wordsmith!  What is a wordsmith?  The World Dictionary defines wordsmith "a person skilled in using words"---makes sense to me!  So this week, make words the focal point of your clean and simple card....it can be just a sentiment, a verse, a poem....just make it words!!!  We can't wait to see what words tickle your fancy this week!!

Lee Ann's gorgeous card just reminds me of a summer day! I just love the layout, the pretty polka dots and those little butterfly accents. The sponging behind the main image really makes it stand out beautifully, too. A wonderful way to showcase the challenge colors.
