Anne Marie's Choice: 
Deanna Jean from Kloset Kreations

Deanna's card is Clean and Simple perfection! I just love the way the flowers just pop off the clean design. The embossed background adds a wonderful hint of soft texture and the layered flowers add fabulous dimension. Finished off with a simple sentiment, this is one gorgeous creation, indeed. Congratulation to you Deanna! You are my choice for our Headliner this week! 

Once again, a big thank you to all of our participants! Your designs were fabulous!  Please stop back and visit us tomorrow when LeAnne unveils our newest challenge. See you soon!

Hello, friends of The Paper Players and welcome to Winner-Day!  Thank you to everyone who played along with my challenge in Celebration of Mothers.  As with every week, there were so many beautiful entries to choose from.  First, let's see what caught the eye of our Design Team.

And now for our Headliner...

Nance's Choice:Eileen Mead
The Stampin' Actuary

 Choosing a headliner is never easy—there are always a number of contenders—but there is always one that draws me back.  This week, it was Eileen’s fantastic banner card with all its amazing details.  The jaunty banners, the non-traditional color palette, the incredible stitching and the playful placement of those beautiful pearl brads!  All added up to one gorgeous Mother’s Day card.  Congratulations, Eileen, you’re my choice for this week’s Headliner!  

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week.  Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a beautiful color challenge from Ann!
