When someone says, "Geometrical Shapes" to me, I think about any shape other than a rectangle, square or circle. Of course, all of these were covered in MY courses in geometry, so they're certainly geometrical shapes. But this time, your challenge is to focus on a shape(s) other than those three and include the shape(s) in your challenge project. Once you have your project done, post a photograph of it on your blog or in any other open online gallery, and then add a link to our Link Tool at the bottom of this post. If you have any questions about linking your project or problems in creating the link, be sure to let the challenge coordinator, Robin Messenheimer, know. We cheerfully help crafters out just about every challenge, so don't be bashful about asking for help!

To participate in our challenge, make a card or other paper-crafted project and post a photo of it to your blog or a gallery on the internet. Then come back here and use our link tool at the bottom of this post to share the photo with us.
PLEASE remember this: We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER August 11, 2014. This is a NEW challenge! AND please mention/link to the SUO Challenge Blog in your post!
And, of course, your projects should be made with Stampin’ Up! products only. The products may be those that are in current catalogs, or they may be retired products. But (as our blog title says) SUO – Stampin’ Up! Only! This means that products from other papercrafting, rubber stamp, die-making or other companies may not be included in your project or in any other project included in your blog post if Stampin’ Up! sells a like product. For example, Stampin’ Up! does not sell sewing thread. So use of sewing thread from another company is just fine. Stampin’ Up! does sell the Sizzix Big Shot, so use of die-cuts, texture plates or other such products from another company is not fine. If you have a question, please send an e-mail to our Coordinator, Robin Messenheimer, and she’ll be glad to answer it!
Challenge Dates: August 12, 2014 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –
August 23, 2014 (6 am USA Eastern Time)

Nancy Littrell. Now what fun is that to have a triangle shaped card to perfectly accent those Christmas trees!? Yes, we asked for Geometrical, but Nancy's card is over-the-top perfect for this challenge. Nancy commented about making her colors brighter – but we all thought the colors she chose were perfect for this card!
Cindy Brumbaugh. The triangles in Cindy's card add a perfect "native American" feel to the card with the feathers. We love not only the bright, festive colors, but also the black mats and Candy Dots that really make the whole card "pop.".jpg)
Helen H. This card has a darling "sneak peek" at a new set of framelits in the Holiday Catalog. We love how Helen used one of them to make her arrows. But if that wasn't geometrical enough, Helen added a cylindrical treat holder using the same design. Wow, a 3-D geometrical shape!
