Winners for Challenge #122 - LeAnne's Silver or Gold CAS

Wow, you all rocked LeAnne's Gold or Silver CAS challenge this week!  We are always delighted to see the fabulous cards you create. With so many wonderful entries, it's difficult to choose our winners, but we managed to pick our favorites!


And now, LeAnne's choice for HEADLINER this week is...
Marisa at Rosemary Reflections


Marisa's card really reflected the clean and simple style this week!  I love her 3D tree, the little bit of gold trim and silver cord, but her glittery "snow" really made me smile!  I actually thought it was fabric....I just don't know how she got that glitter on there so evenly!!  Wow!  Congratulations to you, Marisa!   You are my choice for our Headliner this week! I hope you will proudly display your winner's badge (below) on your blog. Thanks for joining us! 




Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to visit us tomorrow for a Sketch Challenge from the talented Jaydee!

Loll Thompson
Stamping with Loll


From the moment I saw Loll's clean and simple beauty, I was mesmorized.  The copper leaves peaking from behind the negative die cut is stunning.  Loll heat treated the metal to bring out a myriad of colors which I am sure is even more striking in real life.  Thank you, Loll, for entering our "Give Thanks" challenge this week.  Congratulations for being my choice for HeadlinerThe Paper Players hope that you will wear your badge proudly on your blog!
