Challenge #294 - Spring Clean the Stash
What's your scrap stash like? Is is overflowing with items you were going to use, but didn't? Extra die cuts? Small pieces of that beautiful patterned paper that you just couldn't throw away? We thought we'd give you an excuse to use them! The theme of our challenge is Spring Clean the Stash and we'll let you play that out any way you want as long as you use something from your craft stash in your project and let us know what it was!
What do the Design Team have in their scrap stashes?

Winners for Challenge #293 - Recipe in Pinks & Pearls
Thanks to all the test craft cooks who tried out our Recipe Challenge last week! The wonderful variety of entries we had was so enjoyable. It was interesting to see everyone's interpretation of the word "distressed", and those blossoms were gorgeous, as were all the shades of pink! We loved every minute! Now, down to business: here are the winners of As You See It Challenge #293:
Our Top Pick is: Jenny Engelke
Ever see two unlikely designs that just work so well together? Jenny has taken the Hues of Happiness floral designs and the Like an Animal animal prints and textures and married them with pops of gold accents to cook up our recipe in a stunning way! And the gold pearls are such an elegant embellishment for the finishing touch! Beautiful work, Jenny!
And our Featured Artist this week:
Our first Featured Artist is: Kelly Schimer
Kelly's beautiful die-cut hollyhocks are featured on her artistically laid out project. The Design Team loved all the shades of pink in both the hollyhocks and in the background paper! And that background paper fulfilled so many of the challenge elements on it's own: shades of pink, embossing folder and distressed paper! The multicoloured little pearls added a beautiful final touch to a project worthy of Featured Artist! Congratulations, Kelly!
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:

Challenge #293 - Recipe in Pinks & Pearls

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 start your ovens, er...stamp sets!
We are so pleased to welcome our ninth guest designer, Jen Mitchell, (who was our Featured Artist on Challenge #291) for this challenge.
And this is her beautiful project for this challenge:
Let's see how the Design Team has subtly combined their elements:
Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

Winners for Challenge #292 - Raindrops on Roses
Are you awaiting the coming of spring or mourning it's passing? Are you looking forward to your favourite spring things or did you have a chance to really enjoy them while they lasted? What beautiful entries we had this time!! Our design team got to celebrate spring twice - once to experience it on our own and once to see it through your eyes! Thanks for sharing your favourites with us!
Without further ado, I want to introduce you to our winners! Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Lisa K
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.
Lisa's mirror imaged tulips are beautifully coloured with the beautiful pastels of spring! Doesn't it make your heart long for the start of the season and more colour in your life? Her layout is so pro because the black and white layers give the perfect frame for the images and the white on black sentiment perfectly focuses your attention! Lovely work, Lisa!
Our Featured Artist is: Vicky Hayes
You have to get a close up to really appreciate what Vicky has done with these gorgeous daffodils, and you need to read her description in her blog! She used an embossing folder to get the shapes and fussy cut them, then used alcohol markers so skillfully, you could almost swear you were looking at lifelike daffodils!! Then the layout, with the beautiful background paper and the CAS format and simple sentiment, gives you the dream card! Awesome work so worthy of Featured Artist, Vicky!

Challenge #292 - Raindrops on Roses
...And whiskers on kittens! Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings! These are a few of my favourite things....about spring! Well, I had to mess around with that one a bit; all that to introduce our new challenge this week! It's a fill in the blank challenge, created by team member Deborah, where you get to tell us what your favourite thing about spring is, and then make a project depicting that thing!
For 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!
What are the Spring Favs of the Design Team?:
Heather Cooper
Heather C. loves seeing all the colourful flowers appear!
Heather H. is happy to see the return of the birds!
Jan's favourite things about spring are blossoms and butterflies!
Deborah's favourite thing are the daffodils which always remind her of her mom.
- 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 AYSI#292 when uploading to a public gallery.

Winners for Challenge #291 - Paint Pour
We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #291 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! Our entries certainly did the colour challenge justice! So beautiful and very hard to choose!
Here are our winners:
Our Top Pick is: Suzanne from Stamp n' Sip
Using the darkest colour as the background panel really allowed the collage of brighter coloured hearts to shine! The design was well balanced for colour and shape and the design team loved the addition of the darker coloured matte dots, which added some extra whimsy to Suzanne's delightful Valentine's display! It was a great way to present the challenge colours!
Our Featured Artist is: Jen Mitchell
As Featured Artist this week, Jen will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! We loved that she used a CAS format to really highlight the Challenge Colours in her design without them taking over. She did an amazing job stamping the dahlias with those layered stamps, and we loved the way she used the ombre glimmer paper to represent the red and pink colours! It was so effective. Die cutting the leaves in the delicate vellum made them look so elegant, and really helped maintain the clean look of the design! Just stunning, Jen!
Congratulations, Jen, you will be our next Guest Designer for our Recipe Challenge in 2 weeks time. We will be in touch!

Challenge #291 - Paint Pour
January and February can be so blah in the Northern Hemisphere and really need an infusion of colour to add some life into the grey world. This colour challenge is a little pick-me-up designed to do just that! Imagine a paint pour featuring these colours, dark colours opening up to light, blues and pinks contrasting! Let's see how that stokes your imagination! (Note: You don't have to create a paint pour for this challenge!)
Each time we have a colour challenge, the Featured Artist will have a chance to become a Guest Designer for our next Recipe Challenge 4 weeks from now. So enter with that in mind! We're so excited to work with you for a challenge!!
Remember, if you don't have the Stampin' Up! colours, use the colours you have that are the closest. Your project should use all these colours only and 1 neutral. (Neutrals include black, white, vanilla or Crumb Cake.)
