PPA Best Dressed List

At the end of the year, the Pals Paper Arts Design Team announces our "Best Dressed" list, one for each month from the weekly "picks." I hope you will check out the entire list on the blog. I had the month of February and the month of September to pick the Best Dressed from. This is a tough job, so I hope you enjoy my choices~

My February's Best Dressed Pick is this lovely card from Lynn Put for PPA80, which had a "Vintage" theme. With this entry, Lynn does a great job of giving her card the vintage look. Her card stock edges are distressed and colored and her background of texture goes well with her stamp set choice, also very vintage. I love her flower and leaves the best. I remember after I chose her that I CASEd this card! Thank you Lynn, for playing at PPA and for the inspiration!!

My Best Dressed Pick for the month of September was this one from Leena Girsa for PPA109 Celebrity Color Challenge. The colors were Calypso Coral, Riding Hood Red and Basic Gray. As I remember, I loved creating with these colors! This card has a lot going on, but the thing that makes the colors pop out for me is the texture and the designer paper she chose to use. The ribbon is rich and completes the look so nicely. Leena's card is a double-fold, which is not an everyday choice. Thank you, Leena, for playing at Pals Paper Arts!
