Hello there! We had some fabulous entries for our flower (SUOC216) and coloring (SUOC218) challenges, and would like to give a shout out to the following participants for their stunning work!

SUOC 216 FLOWERS CHALLENGE

Elizabeth Gross

Striking watercoloring, color combination, sketch, and love the ribbon/twine treatment!

Donna Garafalo

Classic clean and simple card with eye-catching square die-cutting.

Cindy Major

What’s not to love about this card?! The texture, patterns, and mixed elements round this card out beautifully.

SUOC218 COLOR CHALLENGE

Karen Finkle

There’s nothing like getting back to basics with stamps, paper, ink, and die-cuts. Great use of pairing dies to make a scene.

Heather Heroldt 

Very charming card that really works the Melon Mambo.

Tracy Marie Lewis

The stamped cat, the frames, and embossed background is all cleverly creative!

Congratulations ladies. Please grab your badge from the sidebar. Thank you so much for participating in our challenge and we will see you back tomorrow!

SUO Challenges #183: Autumn Colors!

Before this challenge is over, we’ll be full into Autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere. So many kinds of projects come to mind for Autumn, but all of them involve autumn colors. What’s your favorite autumn color or set of colors? Your challenge this time is to create a paper crafting project – using Stampin’ Up! products, of course, that feature your favorite Autumn Colors!

Here are the projects from our Design Team. I hope they will inspire you to get out YOUR Autumn Colors!

Design Team member, Pam Staples, missed the last two challenges due to emergency surgery. This time, her church has asked her to provide temporary lodging for a family that was evacuated from Florida due to Hurricane Irma. So she’s been a busy lady! But we hope to have her lovely projects back here before too very long!

PLEASE remember this: We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER September 11, 2017.

Dates to Add Links: September 12, 2017 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –
