Winners - Paper Players # 173 Shaped Card challenge

Jaydee here and you creative crafters made it very hard for us to choose our winners again this week.  There were some amazing out of the box creations and you all made it look easy to create shaped cards.   We really appreciate you joining us again, especially as it was a holiday week!  Before we get to my choice as headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the design team:



And now...Jaydee's choice for Headliner:
Mary

Mary's manger and stable card is perfect.  The light stream from the star, the woodgrain of the stable, the ribbon that looks like fresh hay all help to bring this card to life.  I was immediately drawn to it and found myself looking at it again and again.  Congratulations Mary, on being my Headliner this week.
I hope you enjoyed this week's winners...stop by their blogs and leave them some comment love!  Then, don't forget to join us tomorrow for LeAnne's wonderful theme challenge.

Winners for PP172: Nance's CAS with Leaves Challenge

Happy winner day!  From warm and soothing to bright and happy, you all made this leaf lover one happy gal!  Thank you to all who participated in Nance's CAS with Leaves challenge.  We were delighted to see so many new players too...welcome!  Now, before we get to this week's Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of our Design Team! 


And now...Nance's choice for Headliner:
Shery

The depth and dimension Shery achieves with layers of stamped images combined with warm colors and an unexpected pop of black make for one stunning card.  I always admire the look of a seemingly random stamped background and Shery makes it look effortlessly beautiful.  A perfect sentiment and on-trend sequins complete this gorgeous CAS creation.  Congratulations, Shery, you are this week's Headliner!   

I hope you enjoyed this week's winners...stop by their blogs and leave them some comment love!  Then, don't forget to join us tomorrow for Jaydee's special twist on this month' sketch challenge...you won't want to miss it!

Welcome friends, to The Paper Players!  Did you see all the lovely entries with Ann's color challenge last week?  We have the best players--you all amaze us each week.  This week is our Clean-and-Simple challenge and, as your hostess, I wasn't ready to give up on autumn themed projects just yet.  Although, you could certainly use this challenge to make a winter holiday card too.  You'll see one of our clever DT did just that!

And now for Ann's choice for Headliner:
Justin


The oh-so-talented Justin Krieger blew me away again this week with his bold, "retro-meets-collage" card.  While I love the filmstrips which form the background of his card, it is the frame which blows me away.  It is a touch of the unexpected that I love to see on a card.  With its vellum, it reminds me so much of a 35mm slide, which definitely shows my age! Justin, your fun and fresh card made me smile.  Congratulations on being my Headliner this week!


Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a challenge from the awesome Nance.
