Challenge #284 - The Pendulum
The lovely Joanne gifted us with a sketch challenge this week which will leave you lots of scope for creativity, as all the best sketches do! The shape made me think of those pendulum rides at amusement parks for some reason, but I needed a name for this challenge and that was as good as any!😏
Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch, just keep the integrity of it, so we can recognize it.
What did the Design Team do with the sketch? Check out their projects:
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 #AYSI284 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.*

Winners for Challenge #283 - Presto Pumpkins
Who takes on a speed stamping challenge? Only the strong of heart apparently! The brave, the daring, the crafter looking for a new way to challenge themself! It's fun getting your adrenaline pumping - like watching a thriller movie or braving the tallest roller coaster! Anyway, we had a few brave souls take on the challenge and we'd love to see a few more give it a try next time it rolls around our challenge roster.
Now on to our winners for this challenge! Because we had only a few entries, we will not be awarding Honorable Mentions this time.
Our Top Pick is: Jennie Maier
Jennie made great use of DSP to create her lovely fall themed pumpkin card, and that is a great way to save time when doing speed stamping! She chose her paper wisely, using the simple black and white design to subdue the more busy pumpkin/gourd paper, giving lots of room for her stamped and coloured pumpkin to take center stage. She finished in 8 minutes and 25 seconds, well within the 10 minute limit! Well done, Jennie!
Our Featured Artist is: Suzanne from Stamp n' Sip
Suzanne used a combination of a simple DSP background with die cuts to create a wonderful colour and texture-filled display on her entry, which took her 9 min and 36 sec to put together. The Design Team really loved her colour shading on the leaves, her coiled twine bow and the texture on her pumpkin die cut, which really made her entry stand out! Amazing what you can do in 10 minutes isn't it? Congratulations, Suzanne!
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come back and join us tomorrow morning for our next challenge, a sketch challenge. Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

We have a tie for Top Pick:
Our first Top Pick is: JoAnn B.
This adorable entry with the 3D layout creating a baby's dresser, hanging onesie and toys, is so imaginative and cleverly created, it feels like we just walked into baby's room! The 3D effect, paper choice and colours are so well done! Congratulations, JoAnn!
Our second Top Pick is: Papyrus Studio

We were enthralled with the whimsical pink bunny on the swing under the pink and white arbour. The beautiful bow completes this lovely tribute to babyhood mounted on the distressed gray background. Well done!
Our Featured Artist is: Cindi Copeland
Wait!.... Aren't those teeny stuffies just the cutest things ever?? Cindi's tribute to her newest little relative, Talia, is just so adorable and personalized with those layering alphabet dies in white and pink! The fluffy polka dot bow and the raised sentiment in hot pink make a creation worthy of Featured Artist! Awesome!
