Winners for Challenge #358 - My Favourite Autumn Things

It was a little predictable, but sometimes surprising to find out what you favourite things about autumn were, after all, it's such a comforting time of year! It's time for a clean slate, as well, as a new school year starts, and work picks up after summer breaks. Let us introduce the winners of Challenge #358 to you!

Our Top Pick is: Kelly Schirmer

Kelly's favourite thing about autumn is Thanksgiving and so she has created a card tribute to the holiday with a lovely fancy fold creation with beautiful oval panels containing beautifully coloured leaves, meaningful sentiments, and glistening highlights! It's a project that really catches the eye! Congratulations on Top Pick, Kelly!

 

Our Featured Artist is: Sandra Strobel

It's pretty hard to compete with this textural masterpiece by our Featured Artist, Sandra Strobel, whose favourite thing about autumn is pumpkins. Just feast your eyes on all the details, colours and textures she has included in this fantastic entry! The Design Team was blown away by her artistry!

Challenge #358 - My Favourite Autumn Things

 It's time for a new Fill In The Blank Challenge and this time, our clever Team Mate Deborah is going "Sound of Music" on you, by asking you what your "Favourite Autumn Things" are. Is it the colourful leaves? Is it jumping in leaf piles? Is it drinking pumpkin spice lattes? Warm fires? Wearing sweaters?

When you have that figured out, let us know on your blog or entry page how you filled in the blank, and make a card or project illustrating those words!

Let's find out what our Design Team's Favourite Autumn Things are:

Deborah Wheeler

Deborah loves the autumn colours in the leaves!

Heather Cooper

Heather's favourite fruit, the juicy Bartlett pear, gets ripe in the autumn!

Winners for Challenge #357 - Gentle Sunset

We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #357 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge in two weeks! Those Gentle Sunset colours were so delicate and beautiful to experiment with! Your entries reflected that!

Here are the winners for this challenge:

Our Top Pick is: Jolanda Johnstone

Jolanda created a clean and simple card using the challenge colours even though the main colour was the dark Secret Sea! The Design Team loved the small focal scene using the Challenge colours perfectly and the Cloud Cover matte, which really set it apart! The snowfall texture in the background was the perfect touch. Congrats on winning Top Pick, Jolanda!

Our Featured Artist is: Amanda Mertz

As Featured Artist this week, Amanda will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! Amanda's beautifully designed vista using the challenge colours features such depth and variety. It makes me want to go camping there! She uses colour to indicate perspective and depth. Congratulations, Amanda, you will be our next Guest Designer for our Recipe Challenge in 2 weeks time.
