Challenge #337 - Turbo Trees

What do you call a fast evergreen? Why, a Turbo Tree, of course, and it turns out that it's the perfect title for our latest Speed Stamping Challenge, created by the queen of speed stamping, our team member, Jan! And since the holiday season is here, that makes it even more appropriate for this time. Check out the Challenge Banner for this one:

Now those of you who are familiar with our Speed Challenges know that basically you have to create a card to fit the theme in under 10 minutes. But you can plan your card first and get out all your materials first. However, the moment you cut paper, or add ink to a stamp, or begin to use a tool, you must start the timer! 

In your post, make sure you tell us how long it took you to create your card.

Let's see how long it took our Design Team to make their projects:

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging project that fits the challenge.
• Use every element in the recipe, but the possibilities within those parameters are endless.

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!

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!
