Hi Everyone.  Happy Sunday.

It's my pleasure to host the challenge this week and I have a spring inspired Tic Tac Toe for you.  I hope that you will be able to find plenty of choices in the challenge this week.

The design team knocked it out of the park with their cards and we can't wait to see what YOU do with this challenge.  We do hope that you will play along with us and we can't wait to visit your blogs to see what you have created.

Winners for Challenge #138 - Anne Marie's Sketch

Hello, it's Anne Marie here. Wow! What a fabulous collection of cards this week! All of you did a wonderful job with my sketch this past week, making our task of selecting our picks a difficult one.  Before we go one to our Headliner, however, let's have a look at the Design Team's selections for A Cut Above:




And now Anne Marie's choice for Headliner is...
Sandy Wingate 
I just loved the bright and cheerful colors that Sandy selected for her dress card! The little butterfly pattern is really adorable for the dress and what gal doesn't love to be "accessorized"? From the floral belt, to the pearl necklace, to that adorable handbag accent...this card ties the entire outfit together beautifully. Congratulations to you Sandy! You are my choice for our Headliner this week!  


Please come back tomorrow for a fabulous challenge from the wonderful Jaydee!

Winners for Challenge #137 - Ann's CAS sketch

Wow! What a fabulous collection of cards this week! All of you did a wonderful job with our Clean and Simple Sketch, making our task of selecting our picks a difficult one.  Before we go one to our Headliner, however, let's have a look at the Design Team's selections for A Cut Above:




And now Ann's choice for Headliner is...


Deepti's adorable movie-themed card is a showstopper!  In an Oscar-worthy performance, she drew each one of the elements on the card by hand, and then snipped them out.  Her interpretation of the sketch was both creative and unique, with all parts working together perfectly, from the film roll to the soda to the popcorn, and to even the sentiment.  Congratulations, Deepti, the Oscar, er...I mean the Headliner honor goes to you!

Please come back tomorrow for a fabulous Sketch challenge from the uber-talented Anne Marie!

Challenge #136 Winners: Nance's Color Challenge

Hi, Paper Players friends!  What an abundance of springtime cheer you gave our colors this week!  I was so glad to see that many of you came to love these colors even though they might have seemed challenging at first.  I truly could have picked several beauties as my winner this week!  Before we get to the Headliner, however, let's have a look at the Design Team's selections for A Cut Above




And now Nance's choice for headliner is...


Louise stole my heart with her sweet little bunny card!  The crisp, clean lines attracted my attention but her amazing watercoloring pushed it right over the top.  She really highlighted how pretty these colors are together by using all of them to great effect in her main image.  The double ribbon bow is so playful and the oval Easter egg shape is perfect for this beautiful springtime creation.  Congratulations Louise, you're my choice for this week's Headliner!

Please come back tomorrow for a fabulous Clean-and-Simple challenge from our amazing Ann!!!
