Challenge #286 - Boo!
Team mate Heather H. came up with a seasonal Fill in the Blank challenge this week. My grandkids have pretty much worked out their Halloween costumes now and one of them has one of those inflatable TRex costumes. It's hilarious! Definitely not spooky in the least, but this challenge wants to know what you find spooky about the event and then make a card about it! Feel free to be funny if you want. Some of the design team were, and we're still chuckling!
For a Fill in the Blank Challenge, you complete the sentence by filling in the blank, then you make your project based on the words you used to fill in the blank. How would you fill in this blank? Now, take on the challenge of making something amazing with it!
And make sure to tell us, in your blog post, how you Filled in the Blank!

Here's what freaks the Design Team out on Halloween:
Heather Cooper
Heather C. is always worried about keeping her black cat safe!
Heather H. finds her neighbour's Haunted House the spookiest thing on Halloween!
Jan Clothier
Jan's finds the spookiest thing about Halloween is people lurking in the dark!
Deborah finds celebrating the darkness of Halloween the scariest thing.
- Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging project that fits the challenge.
- Fill in the blanks with the words that are right for you and then create your project with those words in mind. Tell us, in your blog or on your site, what words you used.
- 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 AYSI#286 when uploading to a public gallery.
- If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.
- You can combine our challenge with up to 3 other compatible challenges.
- We do reserve the right to delete, or not consider, entries that do not comply with these guidelines.
You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Winners of Challenge #285 - Aurora
We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #285 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge in two weeks! We're very keen to work with the winner! Our entries certainly did the colour challenge justice!
Here are our winners:
Our Top Pick is: Lisa K.
Lisa skillfully used the colours as a blended background with the lighter colours as a backdrop for the starlight. The black became the silhouettes and the backing panel (along with the dark blue). This gave her Christmas themed card a moody, mysterious look that really enhances the star as the focal point!
Our Featured Artist is: Cindi Copeland
As Featured Artist this week, Cindi will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! We loved that she used a slimline format to get more of our Challenge Colours in her design. The chevron design in the background has chevron in all three colours on a black card base and then the flowers are a cascade of colour down the front of the card. So lavish and pretty! Even her envelope uses the colour palette!
Congratulations, Cindi, you will be our next Guest Designer for our Recipe Challenge in 2 weeks time. We will be in touch!
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:
2. Tammy Fite
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Fill in the Blank Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #285 - Aurora
We're into October now and for some of us, it's a month marked by coloured leaves and Halloween. These colours are reminiscent of fall and witches' cauldrons, but equally, they could be sunset colours or a seascape or the aurora borealis, so have fun with this beautiful combination in whatever way you see the colours being used!
Each time we have a colour challenge, the Featured Artist will have a chance to become a Guest Designer for our next Recipe Challenge 4 weeks from now. So enter with that in mind! We're so excited to work with you for a challenge!!
Remember, if you don't have the Stampin' Up! colours, use the colours you have that are the closest. Your project should use all these colours only and 1 neutral. (Neutrals include black, white, vanilla or Crumb Cake.)

- Stampin' Up! colours are used for reference but any matching colours are welcome. You can use black/neutral for outlines and sentiments but don’t use any other colours. Make sure you use all the colours in the challenge banner. Neutrals include black, white, vanilla, Crumb Cake.
- 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 #AYSI285 when uploading to a public gallery.

Winners for Challenge #284 - The Pendulum
Our sketch challenges aim to give you a framework to enhance your creativity! There was a lot you could do with our last sketch, from florals to Halloween designs! We enjoyed all the variety and imagination.
Let me introduce you to our winners! Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Polly Libby
Polly created a stunning blended alcohol ink background on vellum before beginning on her Challenge layout. The Design Team loved her choice of paper in the background and her composition within the sketch guidelines. This is a good example of creativity while maintaining the integrity of a sketch. Just beautiful, Polly!
Our Featured Artist is: Suzanne from Stamp n' Sip
Suzanne's beautiful design made such amazing use of the sketch and ended up with an image that created amazing depth, when she used the horizontal element to form a mountain range against the vertical element of lovely watercolour washes for the sky. The black card base is perfect for showcasing all of this. Well deserving of the Featured Artist Award!
