PP797 - A Theme Challenge from Jan

Jan here and I'm delighted to welcome you to a new challenge at The Paper Players because I'm the hostess this week. Many thanks to you all for the delightful projects inspired by Christy's lovely sketch.

This week, I've got a theme challenge for you which I hope will appeal: For the Little Ones. Maybe you need a card or two for some new babies in your life (and their parents)? Maybe you need a birthday card for the tot in your life? Maybe you need a 'No reason except that I love you' card for that special grandchild, godchild, niece or nephew? For whatever reason you need a something for a little one, then this is your challenge.

Here's some inspiration from the team to get your ideas flowing.

Happy Saturday, stamping friends! Christy here and thank you to everyone who played along with my sketch last week, I loved seeing every single card in our gallery. Before I get to my Headliner, take a look at what caught the eyes of our Design Team for our Cut Above winners:

Julia Sue

Cynthia Stevenson

Jolanda Johnstone

And now for this week's Headliner, Karen Walker:

I love the contrast of the deep blue and crisp white, which totally makes me think of Greek islands, and the sweet little gold hearts and simple greeting are just perfect above the tile elements. Congratulations Karen, you're my Headliner this week! You can grab your badges here and be sure to come back tomorrow for a brand new challenge from Jan!
