For those of you who are in our “Top 3” each week, we have the code for a blog widget over to the left. Be sure to grab the code if you’d like to announce this on your blog page.

Thank you so much for participating in our challenge and we look forward to seeing you back tomorrow.

On a side note, Robin Messenheimer, our former Design Team Coordinator, is a resident of Hawaii and has had to evacuate her home. Please keep her, the family, and their community in your thoughts and prayers. She updated her blog a few days ago with news.

EDITED TO ADD: We had 17 entries from the April 10 challenge. Thank you! Please click here for the entries. We are revising this challenge InLinkz so that you can see the entries for the April 24 challenge.

Hello there and welcome to Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge 198 (#SUOC198)! We have a fantastic challenge for you that is sure to be a lot of fun. Just color on your project. An idea might be to remove color with bleach. We have Watercolor Pencils, Blends, Reinkers, Aqua Painters, Embossing Paste, Ink Pads ~ you can get really creative with this one.

You have some great inspiration for this challenge from the design team!

We would love for you to join us for the challenge. Last week was bad. The InLinkz wasn’t working and what a hot mess. This time, I tested it. If you do have an issue, please let me know. Thank you for your patience. A few members of our design team also came down with the flu. We look forward to staying on schedule and being on cruise control again. Have a fantastic day!

PLEASE remember this: We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER April 24, 2018.

Dates to Add Links: April 24, 2018 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –

SUOC 197: Favorite Florals

4 / 9 / 184 / 24 / 18

Hello there and welcome to SUO Challenges. We have a fabulously fun challenge for you today!

I think the majority of us have had pretty awful and unusual weather this Spring and are eagerly awaiting a full-blown summer. What better way to beat the Spring snowstorms than to visualize the lovely flowers that we’re starting to see?

Our theme this week is flower/floral images from the Annual Catalog. With the close of Sale-A-Bration and the Spring Occasions Catalog still in full swing, it’s nice to go back to the Annual Catalog.

For today’s challenge, our Design Team takes on the theme of flowers. We hope you are inspired by them to create and enter your own projects. I would also like to encourage you to stop by the design team’s blogs to see all of their incredible work and get to know our new designers too!

We hope you enjoy the wonderful talent we have on board and what they’ve created for your inspiration this week. When uploading your project to social media, please use the keyword SUOC197. We can’t wait to see what you create! InLinkz is provided for you below to participate.

Please welcome 3 new designers! A big shout out to Eva, Raquelle, and Tracie! We are all incredibly happy to have them on the team and your favorites will be returning for our next challenge.

SUO Challenges – A Changing of the Guard

3 / 27 / 183 / 26 / 18

For the last 6 years, I have been coordinating the Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge Blog and have enjoyed working with the best Design Teams ever. Design Team members have come and gone, and I’ve enjoyed working with every single one of them and have remained in touch with most of those who have left to concentrate on other activities. Today, though, marks my own departure from the team. I’ve decided I’d like to try out some new endeavors, and there just are not enough hours in the day to continue to do everything else that I’ve been doing.

The good news is that Cindy Blancett, who originated the SUO Challenge Blog, is going to return to the Design Team and take over the coordinator duties from me. I’m so very glad to know that SUO Challenges will continue on.

Many of the current Design Team will remain with SUO Challenges, but Julie Gearinger, Connie Babbert and Mary Brown are also sharing their final projects as Design Team members today. We’ll all be around the internet, though. So, if you like our work, be sure to keep in touch through our blogs, Facebook and wherever on social media you can find Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. We’d love to keep in touch!

There is no challenge today, just some projects from our Design Team to offer thanks and good wishes to all of us whether we are staying or leaving – and to all of you, who have shared wonderful entries in our challenges over the years.

Aloha, all!

Robin Messenheimer
