Challenge #382 - Christmas is A-Comin'
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Christmas is a-comin'! Sooner than we think. In fact, there are only 3 months left. For those who like to send out homemade Christmas cards, that means we only have a couple of months left to get them constructed. How's your list coming along? This is the our Fill In The Blank Challenge this week and Teammate Joanne is asking you: "It's 3 months before Christmas and this will be the _____________ Christmas Card I've made. I don't know what your answer will be, but it can't be any worse than mine. My card will be the first Christmas card I've made this year, so I'd better get a move on if I want to have enough for our friends and family.
Here is the Challenge Banner:
I wonder how the Design Team will fill in the blank!
Deborah has lost count she has made so many of them!
This is Heather's first Christmas card! Ulp!
This is around Heather's 80th Christmas Card made this year.
Jan has made 2 Christmas cards and this is the second one!
This is Joanne's 23rd Christmas card of the season!
LeAnne makes Christmas cards all year long so this is her umpteenth!
Here are some guidelines for the challenges:
- Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging project that fits the challenge.
- 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 AYSI #382 when uploading to a public gallery.
- 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 #381 - High Tech Handsomeness
We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #381 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge on October 9th! Those industrial colours were great to work with and produced some intriguing final results! Check them out!
Here are the winners for this challenge:
Suzy has done a fabulous job with the challenge colours! That race car is perfect for the blues and grays, but the extras like the checkered flags, the tread marks and the spatters in the background really add another layer of excellence to it! Her choice of patterned paper for the background was brilliant, looking almost like tread marks, but drawing the eye to the focal point! What a great shape to use for the sentiment as well! Congratulations on Top Pick, Suzy!
Our Featured Artist is: Kim Findlater
As Featured Artist this week, Kim will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! Kim's beautifully designed Snowflake scene using the challenge colours features great variety and dimension. The Design Team love the blended background and the beautiful Snowflake images in our challenge colours, stamped and die cut, singly and in a border. Congratulations, Kim, you will be our next Guest Designer for our Recipe Challenge in two weeks . We will be in touch!

Challenge #381 - High Tech Handsomeness
It's a Colour Challenge and our Teamie, Jan, came up with a doozie! It's on the masculine side of things - see what you think! I called it High Tech Handsomeness! But check out our Challenge Banner:
I guess, looking at the Banner photo, you could also go rustic with this. We'll leave it up to you! In any case, that colour combo is striking!! Let's see what our Design Team did with it:
(By the way, don't forget that our Featured Artist this week will win an opportunity to become our guest designer on our next Recipe Challenge in two weeks!)
