PP769 - A CAS Challenge from Joanne
Hello crafty friends, it's Joanne here welcoming you to a new CAS challenge at the Paper Players! But before we get to that, I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who played along with LeAnne's Colour Challenge. The gallery was small but mighty, with some fabulous creations that showcased the colours beautifully.
Now onto our monthly Clean and Simple challenge. I've chosen a seasonal theme and I'm looking for signs of winter on your CAS card. Things like snow, snowmen, snowflakes, hats, scarves, mittens, warming hot cocoa, sledging, snowball fights, ice skating, icicles, are just some ideas - but specifically NOT Christmas! Just remember to keep it CAS - limited layers and embellishments, plenty of "white" space, etc.
Now let's go see what the design team chose as their signs of winter!

I was totally enthralled by those wonderful stenciled balloons on Colleen's card! The shading was perfect and the layout really brought it all together! The sentiment was really fun, especially embossed in the silver, and the little silver embellishments added a nice little extra touch! Congratulations, Colleen, you're my Headliner this week!

Happy Saturday.
Jaydee here. Thank you to those who participated in our gifting challenge last week. It was wonderful to see such a diverse range of projects in our gallery. Once again you all made it hard for us to choose our winners.
Let's see what caught the eye of our design team this week:
Michele F
Debbie
Fran
Now for our HEADLINER:
Cynthia
I fell in love with Cynthia's beautifully feminine box with its sparkly contents! I mean, who wouldn't want to receive this bottle of sparkles so exquisitely packaged? The touch of blue for the ribbon with the white twine ribbon on top adds a wonderful pop of color and texture. That DSP is just gorgeous and Cynthia's design showcases that perfectly. Congratulations, Cynthia you are my HEADLINER for this week.
Well, this is our final post for 2025 and we want to thank all of you who have supported our challenges during 2025. Your participation means a great deal to us.
We will be back on January 11 2026. In the meantime we want to wish all of you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah and a very Happy New Year.

PP767 - A Theme Challenge from Jaydee
Happy Sunday and welcome to our final Paper Players challenge of 2025. Jaydee here and before we get to my challenge this week I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of you who played along with Claire's fabulous Tic-Tac-Toe board last week. It was wonderful to see so many different interpretations using the same set of words. Also, thank you to all of you who played along with us during 2025. Your support means a great deal to us, and is what keeps us going :-)
It's also the final challenge that we will see a Design Team card from the extremely talented Elizabeth Stewart. Elizabeth is taking a break to concentrate on her studies. We will miss her wonderful creations in our gallery each week, but we wish her all the best for her upcoming exams, and thank her for her contributions this past year.
Now, it's on to our challenge this year. I chose an inspiration word that I think is on a lot of people's minds right now :-)
