Winners for Challenge #163: Sandy's Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone! Boy, you talented stampers make it very hard to select a winner. It's so hard to pick just one! We loved your different takes on the sketch and thank you all for playing along. Before we announce our Headliner, let's see what creations caught the eye of our Design Team:






And now Sandy's choice for headliner...


When I saw Allison’s Smoky Holiday Topiary card, I said “wow” out loud. Her creation is a real work of art. She paid so much attention to detail, and I adore every bit of it including the fabulous stitching, the bit of lace, the rustic background and of course her beautiful chalkboard style focal piece. Congrats on being my headliner this week, Allison!

Choo choo!! Get on board the cuteness train! I just loved Lisa's little circus train treat boxes. The colors are so fun and who doesn't love a cute critter with "googlie eyes". A great idea for kids party favors. Congratulation to you, Lisa! You are our Headliner this week at the Paper Players!

Winners for Challenge #162 - LeAnne's Color Challenge

Hey peeps!  You really rocked the color challenge week!  I had to chuckle when I read some of the comments, but that's what a challenge is all about!  And you stepped up to the challenge, as your creations were marvelous!  As usual, it was tough to pick out just one winner!  First, let's see what tickled the fancy of the Design Team:


And now...LeAnne's Choice for Headliner:

Amanda Mertz - Did You Stamp Today?




Amanda's card was so simple, yet I kept returning to it over and over!  The embossed sentiment really popped out, and her little ornament with the bling "hanger" was so cute!  The clever use of the lines from Gorgeous Grunge sealed the deal!  Congrats on being my Headliner this week, Amanda!

Tune in tomorrow for another fabulous challenge by the fabulous Anne Marie!

Dee from Dee's Designs

Trees

There were so many fabulous entries this week, yet I was drawn back again and again to Dee’s gorgeous creation. The textures are so enticing, and the mix of patterns on the leaves is reminiscent of a patchwork quilt. The sentiment pairs perfectly, as do the little striped brads. Congrats, Dee! You are this week’s headliner!

Tune in tomorrow for another fabulous challenge by the talented LeAnne!
