Winners for Challenge #336 - The Seeds of a Corny Theme
What do you do with seeds and/or acorns? Well, we had an education for this past challenge as we saw such a variety of interesting ways of illustrating the theme! And it was one theme that worked in both northern and southern hemispheres, spring and fall!
Here are the winners of Challenge #336:
Our Top Pick is: Toni Maddox
This colourful, postage-style card is an absolute delight! The rich oranges and browns highlighted with blue, gave a sunny, fall ambience! All the images were so bright and whimsical, and you did such a great job of stenciling! Congratulations, Toni, on being our Top Pick this week.
Our Featured Artist is: Rachel Black
For those of you already planning your garden for the spring, Rachel's winning card will take you right into that happy place again! The progression from seed to seedling to full-grown plant is so well illustrated here, but the beautiful designs are displayed on a shaded, stenciled background of brick, wood, and script! The neutrals of the seed packets, pots and backgrounds are in contrast with the seedlings and foliage as little pops of green. All in all, a gardener's delight. Congratulations, Rachel, on being Featured Artist this week!
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Speed Stamping 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 #336 - The Seeds of A Corny Theme
It's Theme Week at As You See It and our theme this week is quite specific, thanks to team member, Heather H. The theme is Seeds & Acorns! That's a lovely idea for fall or spring, so it works in whichever hemisphere you happen to live in! Here's the challenge banner to look at:
Do you have either a stamp set, dies or patterned paper that you can use for this Theme Challenge? Will you have to go to your "Retired Shelf"? Let's see how the Design Team tackled this challenge:

Winners for Challenge #335 - Recipe for Thinking of You Warmly
Thanks to all the guest "chefs" who tried out our Recipe Challenge last week! Those warm colours mixed with the metallics were gorgeous! A real tip of the hat to Autumn! It was very hard to pick winners, but that's our job, so we did it and here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Deb Horst
Deb created a beautiful "caffeinated collage"! Her ink layering in the background collage is just beautiful and includes some dry embossing, highlighted with ink! There is even a metallic charm included, but nothing looks out of place. And the texture that Deb has incorporated is just scrumptious! This card is so skillfully done, it really deserves the Top Pick! Congratulations, Deb.
And our Featured Artist this week:
Our Featured Artist is: LeAnne Pugliese
LeAnne, our Featured Artist this week and winner, used the elements of the recipe in very creative ways! That orange background paper is stunning and those two tags of differing sizes and all the autumn bits you have displayed on your card are remarkable! Also there is no shortage of delicious texture, which adds so much depth, as in the cross stitch embossed border down the side and the random embossing on the tag! Well earned Featured Artist award! Congratulations, LeAnne!
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:

Challenge #335 - Recipe for Thinking of You Warmly
I'm really excited about this Recipe Challenge because it has so many elements in it that I love to create with. That's probably because I created this challenge! But tags! Warm tones for October! Metallics! Embossed texture! It's all my favourites in one creation! I hope you love it too!
You have to include all the elements in the recipe on your creation, but how you do that is up to you! Have fun and start your ovens, er...stamp sets!
We are so pleased to welcome our fifteenth guest designer, Annette Elias, (who was our Featured Artist on Challenge #333 a couple of weeks back) for this challenge.
I wonder if the other Design Team members loved this challenge? Let's see what they did with it?

Winners for Challenge #334 - Using Spaghetti to Craft
Wow! We really learned a lot from your posts this week! Some of you had some unique faves that you love to craft with! And then some of you love the same things that many of us do, but you create beautiful techniques with them. I really loved this challenge, but I confess, I was hoping that someone would use spaghetti to craft!! However, we must carry on with our job and announce the winners of Challenge #334:
Our Top Pick is: Bronwyn Eastley
If you hadn't already guessed, Bronwyn's favourite thing to craft with is pretty paper, and has she ever used it to full capacity with this card, creating a beautiful vista from the farmhouse porch, over the fence and out to the pastures beyond, all created from beautiful 6" x 6" designer paper! Then she also fashioned the perfect white picket fence to frame it! With a birthday sentiment and great colour palette, this card is a real Top Pick!! Congratulations, Bronwyn !
Our Featured Artist is: Sandra Strobel
Our Featured Artist, Sandra Strobel, has created an autumn project rich in texture, composition, shading and detail! The Design Team were so thrilled with beautifully coloured and blended pumpkin, gourd and leaves, as well as the embossed background and shiny bow. And just look at the weathered fence with the edging behind it and the details down to the raindrops. Congratulations, Sandra, amazing work!
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:

Challenge #334 - Using Spaghetti to Craft!
Welcome to our newest challenge, a fill in the blank challenge! With a fill in the blank challenge, you finish the sentence in the challenge, then take the words you used to be the basis of the project you enter in it. Let's take a look at the Challenge Banner, for an example:
So, how would you fill in the blank in the above statement: My favourite item to craft with is:____________________________
Let's say you filled in the blank with 'spaghetti'! Then you would make your project using spaghetti to craft with and enter it in the challenge. Don't forget to tell us, in your blog post, the words you used to fill in the blank!
Got it? Good!
Let's see what favourites the Design Team have:
Heather loves to craft using embossing dies!
Heather's favourite thing to craft with is the Blends Markers!
Jan loves to use embossing folders in her crafting!
Jane Knudsen
Jane is on a break this week!
Joanne loves her die cutting machine and designer series paper!
Deb's fave items are Clarity's embedders for embossing frames (and her Pergaliner pencils)!
