PPA Best Dressed List

As 2011 draws to a close, it is time for the Pals Paper Arts Annual Best Dressed List!  This is a collection of our 12 favorite paper creations from throughout the year. One was selected by members of our Design Team for each month from our original weekly picks. Of course, to see the entire list, you will need to visit the Pals Paper Arts site.  

January – Giovana

Clean and elegant are two words that come to mind when I look at this gorgeous card by Giovana.  My eyes are immediately drawn to the sentiment, with its beautiful ribbon treatment.  I love how she snipped out the heart, and popped it up on dimensionals.  The rhinestones, which follow the curvature of the image, are the perfect accents.  Giovana, your card is a timeless classic.  Congratulations on being my choice for the Best Dressed Winner for January.

October – Marlene Peters

“Wow” was the first word out of my mouth when I spied this unique creation by Marlene Peters.   From the spiders suspended inside the “carved” pumpkin, to the curled card stock tendrils, to the adorable tiny “boo” tag held in place by a mini library clip, this card exudes cleverness from all angles!  And the inside is just as cute as the outside, too!  Congratulations on being my choice for the Best Dressed Winner for October, Marlene!

The Pals would like to thank everyone who participated in our challenges in 2011 and invite you to join us next week for our first challenge of 2012.  We have some surprises in store for you! Until next time…
