Thanks to all of you who inquired about what had happened to our challenge website! We had a bit of a glitch, but thanks to several people, we're back up and running!
As many of you didn't have a chance to visit as our last challenge began, we're going to continue with this challenge for one more week. Our next challenge will begin on Tuesday, April 28, 2015.
So check below for our challenge to make a project featuring the colors of a favorite team!
The College Basketball Season just ended (last night!), Major League Baseball has already started, and the NBA and NHL are nearing the end of their seasons. If you've got children or grandchildren in school, there are certainly some kinds of sports underway there, too! Your challenge this time is to make a greeting card or other project that features the colors of your favorite team – school, community, professional – any kind of team.
Need some ideas to get your creativity started? Then check out our Design Team projects – and have fun with your own project!

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 April 6, 2015 This is a NEW challenge! AND please mention/link to the SUO Challenge Blog in your post!
Of course, your projects must 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: April 7, 2015 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –
April 25, 2015 (6 am USA Eastern Time). We've extended this challenge for an extra week!
Most of the cards we all make are usually rectangles or squares folded in half. Several weeks ago, we challenged you to use a different shape. Your challenge this time is to make a greeting card that's folded differently than simply in half. We can all hardly wait to see the fun ways you choose to fold your cards!

Susie Nelson. The sponged sunburst background around the cross image is clean and simple, yet has such a perfect impact for this Easter card.
Lindsey Bowe. How sweet is this bunny basket?! The darling punch art is beautifully accented by the dotted embossing on the basket and its handle.

Bronwyn Eastley. This butterfly on the basket is a perfect ensemble for Easter, using some of the newest Stampin' Up! products!
