Challenge #257 - Recipe for a Fall Farm
It's fall harvest time and Design Team Member Heather has devised a Recipe Challenge to help you evoke the fall farm harvest vibe. You have to include all the elements in the recipe on your creation, but how you do that is up to you! Have fun and commence cooking!!
We are so pleased to welcome our third guest designer, Jenny Engelke, (who was our Featured Artist on Challenge #255) for this challenge.
Let's see how the Design Team has combined their elements:
Amy Jasper
Riding her bicycle for Childhood Cancer this week
Heather Cooper
Taking a break this week
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.
- 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#257 when uploading to a public gallery.
- If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

Winners for Challenge #256
I think as crafters we are all animal lovers too, because our Fill in the Blank Challenge #256 - Zoology, about our favourite animals struck a stamping chord and we had some gorgeous entries this time. Oh, my goodness! Choosing winners was like a photo finish in a horse race or finding the queen in a bee hive! Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Deborah Wheeler
Deborah's mastery of masking and watercolour has created a wonderful scene for this dear little cat whose mind is on more than the beautiful scenery behind her. The peaceful palette brings the cat, the birds and the embossed sentiment into perfect focus! What a whimsical scene!
Our Featured Artist is: Stef Perry
Stef has made this party bear just come to life with her masterful copic colouring skills! He pops right off the page! And the colour choices are perfect for bringing the image into sharp focus. The little details like the linen thread from the balloons tucked under the bear's arm and the enamel dots as finishing touches create a fine Featured Artist award winner.
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:
8. Toni
14. Jules
15. Heather Heroldt
17. Judy Inukai
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Recipe Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #256 - Zoology
Design Team member LeAnne has come up with a winner for our next Fill In the Blank Challenge. So many of us are animal lovers! And you have so many to choose from: birds, insects, fish, puppies - just to name a few! I'm sure everyone can find a favourite from that comprehensive a list, right? You don't have to own one - you might just enjoy watching this type of animal from a distance!
This week's challenge is a fill in the blank challenge. You complete the sentence by filling in the blank, then you make your project based on the words you used to fill in the blank. How would you fill in this blank? Now, take on the challenge of making something amazing with it!
And make sure to tell us, in your blog post, how you Filled in the Blank!
Can you guess which critters are the Design Teams favourites ?
Amy Jasper
Amy is riding this month to raise money to end childhood cancer, and I bet she sees a lot of deer on her long, lonely bike rides. Her favourite animal is a moose, but deer are a close second.

Sloths are not Heather's favourite animal but they are the favourite of her daughter who is visiting right now soooo...
Jan is another deer lover, especially Christmas ones!
While LeAnne may be a general animal lover, you get the idea that that dog is a great favourite!
- Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging project that fits the challenge.
- Fill in the blanks with the words that are right for you and then create your project with those words in mind. Tell us, in your blog or on your site, what words you used.
- 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 #AYSI256 when uploading to a public gallery.

Winners for Challenge #255 - Autumn Warmth and Our Next Guest Designer
We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #255 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge in two weeks! We're very keen to work with the winner! It was a such a warm colour palette, and we got some beautiful creations from so many of you. Thank you for entering! The Design Team got all toasty inside just trying to narrow down our winners. And here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Christy Stanford
From her enticing background design, to the masterful stamping job of that sweet peach with it's two-toned design, Christy has created a card with warm sweet tones, tempered with the strip of green to cut the sweetness, making it perfectly palatable! Whether or not you like peaches, you're sure to love this eye-catching delight!
Our Featured Artist is: Jenny Engelke
Jenny used the neutral black & white background to allow the focal point of the song birds to pop! The birds themselves are beautifully coloured with our challenge colours which are blended to perfection! We noted the layered scalloped black backgrounds, one with clear embossed images, the white embossed sentiment that really shows up against the black and the attention to detail. All these factors are exciting to see in our next Guest Designer for our upcoming Recipe Challenge in two weeks.
Congratulations, Jenny, and we will be in touch with you with the details.
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:
6. Tenia Nelson
13. Jennifer Weide
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Fill in the Blank Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
