Be a Panelist! - Challenge #162

Well, we're back to the sketches this week and Amanda has given us an interesting one to interpret. It has 3 panels in the background and there are many ways to achieve that, as you know: Designer Series Paper, watercolouring, washi tape,embossing paste - you name it and you own it! Be a panelist this week! Show us what you can do!

See how the Design Team fulfilled their missions:

Heather Cooper 

Jan Clothier 

Jane Knudsen

LeAnne Pugliese 

Tara Angus 

Teresa Kline 

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 #AYSI162 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

Winners for Challenge #161

We hope you enjoyed the chance to let your spookies out this past couple of weeks as we explored the Scary theme Amanda had for us! We loved the amazing variety of entries, from full on freaky to cute and creepy! This kind of a card sometimes lets you play around with new artistic techniques as well. We had our usual debate and ended up with our two winners:

Our Top Pick is: Sweety Gupta

Sweety used a Halloween witch die as a silhouette against a masterfully designed background. The Design Team loved the way she muted her colours with some brushed vintage photo distress ink over them once she had created them.

And our Featured Artist is: Wendy Bellino

                                      

Wendy's background is a thing of beauty with its ink blending, a wonderful choice of colours and adding the water droplets. But the whole Design team loved the interaction of the different stamps to make the deliciously scary final outcome!                      

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

Delicious Shivers! - Challenge #161

It's October, that month when people seem to like to scare themselves silly with those delicious shivers down their spines! With that in mind, Amanda has given us a Theme Challenge with SCARY as the topic! Take a look at this challenge banner and tell me the first thing that comes to mind! Did anyone else think of The Addams Family and "Thing"? Or is that dating me?

You can interpret scary anyway you'd like from full on screams to cute little boos! It's up to you! Have fun with it!

The Design Team gave us the full assortment:

Winners for Challenge #160!

We were excited by how many of you willingly chose to subject yourself to the stress and adrenaline rush of our Speed Stamping Challenge in shades of orange! And we were amazed at what could be accomplished within the 10 minute time limit!! You are incredible! I hope you had fun with it. As always, when it comes time to pick our winners, the struggle is real, but we finally agreed on two:

Our Top Pick is: Deb Viens

Deb created a whimsical Halloween look by using coordinating patterned paper for both her background and window frame! We loved the spooky trees and moon viewed through the window and the requisite black cat with its quizzical look!

And our Featured Artist is: Melissa Grant

                                      

Melissa had a series of three cards stamped on the wood textured designer paper and they were all great designs, but the Design Team loved this dahlia image in orange on the white background! Clean and simple and oh,so effective! You wouldn't know that Melissa is new to doing challenges! I think that she will be someone to watch in the future!

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