Challenge #360 - Happy Harvest
Happy Halloween! We have a Theme Challenge for you this week and the theme topic is Harvest, thanks to yours truly! Take a look at the Challenge banner:
Because most of us are urbanites these days, harvest has more of a decor meaning than a food meaning, unless we have a backyard garden, but we do like those cozy autumn images!
Let's see how our Design Team interprets the Harvest theme:
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 #357 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 #359 - Recipe for Autumn Florals
The fun part of our job as a Design Team is checking out the blogs of every entry in our challenges and especially fun when it's a recipe challenge! Everyone gets exactly the same five elements, but the variety of cards we get is endless AND beautiful! The not-so-fun part of our job is trying to pick winners from amongst those lovely entries, but once again, we bit the bullet and got the job done! Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Sandra Strobel
Sandra put in so much effort for this Recipe Challenge! She has added surprise after surprise with the five card elements that had to be added, and so much more! The texture and the rich colour just envelope your senses! This card is so skillfully done, it really deserves the Top Pick! Congratulations, Sandra.
And our Featured Artist this week:
Our Featured Artist is: Loopyloo
Loopyloo (Lynda), our Featured Artist this week and winner, used the elements of the recipe with creative style.

Challenge #359 - Recipe for Autumn Florals
There are some varieties of flowers that we associate with fall like asters and chrysanthemums, and colours of flowers like oranges, yellows, and rusts. This next Recipe Challenge puts me in mind of autumn flowers with its colours and elements. It also has one unique element: the frame! What will you use to create that? Remember, you must use all the elements shown here in the banner, in your project, when you do this recipe challenge designed by our team member, Deborah!
Remember our last Colour Challenge? Well, the winner of that challenge, Amanda Mertz, won the right to be a guest designer on today's challenge:
Here's Amanda:
