Becky Retzer

Stampin From The Heart

Becky's country-style creation made me smile, from the gorgeous wreath with the rustic bows, through the woodgrain background, all the way down to the pretty plaid panel, embellished with a pine cone and holly, and ending with that simple greeting stamped on the burlap ribbon!  An evergreen masterpiece!  Congrats, Becky, on being my Headliner this week!

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 the Design Team's selections for A Cut Above are....

1. Ann’s Choice: With its jeweled bow and sweet little tags, Janet’s present card is cute and clean! Congrats, Janet!	2. LeAnne's Choice: Carolyn's guitar card was ingenious & clever! Congrats, Caroline!	3. Nance's choice: A cool winter color palette, gorgeous texture & a beautiful poinsettia makes Amy's stocking card a winner ...congrats, Amy!

Mary

Designed by Mary Ross

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.

Paper Players #173 - Shaped card from Jaydee

Hi Everyone.  Welcome to Paper Players Challenge #173.  Jaydee here and it's my pleasure to host this challenge.

I don't know about you, but I always make rectangular cards, so I thought it would be fun to try something totally different this week.    Make any shaped card other than a rectangle.  Square, round, triangular, star shaped, Christmas tree - anything!

You can see the design team rocked the inspirations for you this week.

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!

Shery

One Layer Cards

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!
