Challenge #187 - Speak Your Mind

We're on a soapbox this time at As You See It Challenges! You get to speak your mind over the next two weeks! Just get it off your chest! You know you want to! We want to see you be brave...or kind...or proud. It's up to you. It's a "Fill In The Blank" Challenge with "I need to say __________ to my __________" Just fill in the blanks and then make a project based on that. Let us know in your post what you said to whom!

Let's see what the Design Team are spouting off about:

Amy Jasper

Heather Cooper

I need to say congrats to my team!

Winners for Challenge #186 - Flag Me Down

Well, you lifted our flagging spirits with your amazing banners and managed to flag our attention with your creativity on our last challenge. To be honest, there were so many entries that were worthy of bearing our award banners. But there were two entries that were true flagship designs! Here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Amy Koenders

Amy's card is purple, black and fun, with a little spot of pumpkin pie thrown in for good measure! She's used a variety of paper and stamps to make her lively banners and the happy font for her sentiment flags this card as adorable!

And our Featured Artist is: Jenny Engelke 

                         

                       

Jenny's lush creation features rich colours, textures, shine and a great combination of images and banners. The Design Team loved the gorgeous colours and the combination of ribbons and stamped images and paper that were part of Jenny's flag bouquet! The 'subtle' texture on the card base was spritzed with a shimmery mist which just adds to the ethereal quality of the image! Jenny's card has captured the flag this week!!

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

Challenge #186 - Flag Me Down

There are many definitions for the word "flag", including a country's symbol, a flower, a type of stone, losing energy, marking something, causing a vehicle to stop... But for our purposes, a flag is a narrow piece of paper with a notch or slant cut at one end. Add them to your project as the sketch indicates! Then click on the linky tool and you're away to the races! (Unless someone flags you down, or your energy flags, or you trip on the flagstones...) Never mind. Here's the sketch from Amanda:

And here are the creations from our Flagship team:

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 #AYSI186 when uploading to a public gallery.

Winners for Challenge #185 - Coolness

Cool,cool,cool,cool-cool,cool! (If you're a Brooklyn99 fan you'll know where that phrase comes from!) That describes all the entries in our Colour Challenge last time! So much coolness! But there were two entries that broke through all Cool Limits and left the Design Team breathless! Here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Ingen

We were smitten with Ingen's little splattered bird and her clean and crisp-looking design! All the colours of the challenge were used in such a natural, organic way! It just goes to show you how a little splash of colour can make a big impact!

And our Featured Artist is: Gail Peters 

                                                        

Gail gets an A for creativity! There are so many elements to mention! The gorgeous misted background, the lifted and offset frame center, the leaf fronds echoing the background design and the layered look on the sentiment! The Design Team just loved the beautiful way Gail displayed our Colour Challenge!

Congratulations to our 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.
