Winners for Challenge #201 - Pivotal

We were so happy to have you make the pivotal decision to circle back to our Challenge page and enter our first challenge post Amanda's designing. We were very stoked to get your beautiful entries and after circling around the final decision for a bit, we were ready to settle on our winners.  Here they are:

Our Top Pick is: A Stampin' Holiday

The Design Team really loved this sketch done in whites and light greens! It gave it such a bright and airy, sophisticated look! The script background added to the glamour, while the gold text complimented that! This project nailed the sketch!                                                                             

And our Featured Artist is: Anita Trippi

Anita created a truly unique take on our sketch this week with a swath of coloured embossing paste for the vertical element and a unique ribbon border on the bottom that is so cool! She also created her own striped paper from a stamp. Done in shades of blue with a little yellow, this card stole the hearts of the Design Team this week! Well done, Anita!                                                          

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new colour challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #201 - Pivotal

As I pondered what to call our 201st challenge, I studied the sketch and realized that everything pivoted around the doily or circle at the bottom! Then I realized the significance of that title in regards to the Challenge Blog itself.
Going forward, past our 200th challenge things will be slightly different, so Challenge #201 is a pivotal challenge.

With the retirement of Amanda, our Designer Emeritus, the crew is taking on the task of designing the weekly challenges on a rotating basis. In addition, we've decided to use a regular rotation of six styles of challenge. In future, you'll be seeing a sketch, a colour challenge, a fill-in-the-blank, a recipe (where you're given ingredients you have to use), a theme and finally a speed challenge. Then back to the beginning.

Our team leader, Heather, has started the ball rolling with this sketch challenge.

Let's see how the Design Team interpreted this pivotal sketch:

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch and to substitute one   shape for another but we must still be able to see the sketch   in your finished submission.
• 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 #AYSI201when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
