Eclectic Collections - Challenge #159

I think most papercrafters are, by association, collectors! There are so many jokes flying around about stampers' or scrapbookers' stashes that we know most of them off by heart now! So it only makes sense to have a Collection Challenge once in a while. For these challenges, you must use all the elements in the collection on your creation, but other than that, let your imagination have free rein and have fun!


Let's see how the Design Team managed the collection:





















Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

  • Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
  • Use every element in the collection, but the possibilities within those parameters are endless.
  • Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the   challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we   can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use #AYSI159 when uploading to a public gallery.
  • If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

Winners for Challenge #158

Thanks to all those who participated in our Doily Dreams Challenge! Your entries were dreamy! We had everything from babies to pumpkins! It's always hard to make a choice, but the Design Team was in agreement on the top two, so:

Our Top Pick is: Ingen





Ingen popped three personality-filled pumpkins on paper with a palette of orange, black and white and came up with an adorable Halloween piece of eye-candy! The white doily makes a perfect contrast for the paper and the pretty black twine that finishes it off! Thanks for sharing your card with us, Ingen!


And our Featured Artist is: Heather Heroldt
                                      

The Design Team fell in love with those adorable pumpkins, backed by the spider web doily. With all the twisty vines and ferny leaves in shades of green, this Halloween card is definitely a treat for the eyes and Heather's trick with the sentiment left us all admiring her skills! Congratulations, Heather!

Congratulations to our two winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new Collection challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Doily Dreams - As You See It Challenge #158

Where are you at with your card making? Are you stubbornly holding on to summer, refusing to get started too soon on that long, long Christmas greeting season? Are you into fall greeting cards at all? Do you do Halloween cards? Wherever you're at, this sketch should work for you, as long as you include a doily of some kind behind the main panel or something of similar shape or concept! There, that leaves it fairly wide open for you! Have fun!!


Let's see how the Design Team does doilies:

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

  • Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
  • Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch and to substitute one   shape for another but we must still be able to see the sketch   in your finished submission.
  • Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the   challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we   can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use #AYSI158 when uploading to a public gallery.

Winners for Challenge #157

Thanks to all those who participated in our Flower Frenzy Challenge! Some stunning entries! Without further ado: 

Our Top Pick is: Jari Francis


Stampin' Up! Snowflake Sentiments-Cardiology by Jari

Jari used an eye-grabbing palette of black, white and silver for her frosty design. The snowflake dies she used were a perfect choice for the intricate images of the sketch! We loved the silver embossed sentiment and the one perfect silver snowflake on the horizontal black panel! So stunning!

And our Featured Artist is: Jo Mo
                                      

The Design Team loved the creative interpretation of the sketch that Jo-Mo did with the soft vellum clouds lifting up the bright hot air balloon! The clouds were all different, but subtle - not stealing the show from the vibrant balloon with its bling and lovely colours! It lifted us all up! 


Congratulations to our two winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new sketch challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
