Hi, stampers! Ann here! Thank you so much to all who played along in my CAS - Food challenge this past week. Sushi, pasta, fruit and sweets! So many yummy cards had our mouths watering. With several stand-out cards in the gallery, we definitely had our work cut out for us in narrowing down the field to our top picks.

Before we get to our HEADLINER this week, let's take a look at our CUT ABOVE winners as chosen by our design team.

Arlene Rose - Sundaystamper Papercrafts

Deb Horst - Sendable Sentiments

Carol McFarland - Saw it. Had to Make It.

And now my choice for Headliner:

Colleen Begley - Colleen's Creative Corner

With its abundance of white space and minimal embellishments, Colleen's adorable card is Clean and Simple perfection. The lovely lady, in her heart patterned dress and pulled back hair, is as cute as can be. And seriously, who can resist a cupcake? I'll take a dozen, please! Congratulations, Colleen, on being my choice for Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all of the winners! Be sure to pick up your badges here.

Please join us tomorrow for a fabulous sketch challenge from the amazing LeAnne.

Until then, happy stamping!

Hey, stampers, it's Ann, welcoming you to a new challenge at The Paper Players. Before we see what I have planned for you, thank you to everyone who entered Claire's color challenge last week. What lovely cards graced the gallery!

This week, it's time for our Clean and Simple challenge. We are looking for Clean and Simple cards that feature food in some way. This is a fun one, and we can't wait to see what YOU create. Remember, when we say Clean and Simple, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments

Have plenty of open space, also known as "white" space

Are simple and uncluttered

But before you scamper off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, please check out what the Design Team created for your inspiration!
