SanDee & amelie's Steampunk Challenges: October 2020

 

Hello and welcome friends, to our little corner of the Steampunk Universe! Maura here, wearing my top hat, goggles, high boots and tails, ready to take you on this month's adventure.  Oh, I forget...and a corset of course!

 We love having you here, playing along with us in a mixed media, steampunk and industrial style! The  team is sharing their creative makes today, which will give you lots of inspiration to get started. 

 Our October challenge is, as usual...  

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial 

 We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and encourage everyone, from beginner to  experienced to join us every month and share your creations. Show us your tags, cards, canvas, art journal, altered objects...whatever you can imagine that fits our theme of steampunk/industrial. 

We truly are in awe of the imagination and creativity of you, our players, and look forward each challenge to see where your creative muse took you! 

 Many thanks to our wonderful and generous sponsors, 

for keeping the gears and cogs turning here at SASPC!

DecoArt

 and boozybear

 

 At the end of each challenge, two winners are randomly selected from all proper entries (be sure to check out our posted rules) and will either get an awesome DecoArt Media prize package, or an amazing chipboard package. 

 Now...on to the awesome makes from our wonderful team, I know you will be inspired!

Kerstin

shares with us a view in the company Berti Batman. 

She cautions us to beware, as he is in a very good mood!

Susan

has been creating the most amazing mini books, and her spooky envelope book looks awesome!

Zoja

has created an awesome Arrow, pointing the way to the season of Halloween!

Claudia

threw some painted and heat embossed die cuts and her favourite DecoArt paints and crackle media

alongside the cute little robot on a tag and created yummy texture and layers

and I, Maura

went diving deep into the sea to find the Kraken and its treasures. 

(I made this for a different design team but wanted to share it here too,

 as I am away on an art retreat with my sister.)

 Thanks for stopping by our little corner of the Steampunk Universe. We hope to see you playing along with us this month in our steampunk/industrial challenge which is open until the end of October. Remember, we will have two prize draws and choose the design team's Top 5!  Top 5 for September and prize winners will be posted on October 15th,  so be sure to pop back to check that out. 

 Time to put your top hat on and get crafting with us! 

Hugs, and happy crafting!

Zoe

whose yellow mixed media goodness blew us away

and 

Barbetka's

"Queen of the Deep" did too.

vintage camera

SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenge - September 2020

 Hi, servus and welcome back after a hopefully wonderful summer holiday! We're back to our usual schedule with monthly challenges after our summer special and - as always - the theme for our September challenge is

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

(though some of the design team obviously already got carried away by Halloween which is - I admit it - fast approaching. lol And as long as we can - with some good will - spot at least a hint of steampunk to your projects, everything's fine. ;) 

If you check by on the 15th you'll learn about the Top5 and prize winners from our summer special challenge and of course our generous sponsors DecoArt and boozybear are giving away a prize bundle each again this month - so your three allowed entries are three chances to winning one of these! 

Susan

is kicking off our September challenge with 

another of her cool mixed media handmade books

At

Kerstin's

the "Season of the Witch" 

has already begun and she has created this amazing tag for you

Maura

has done another fantastic spread in her journal - 

it's about the collecting adventures of "Dr. Hibatsu"

(Bet you didn't know this was one of the many names her students christened her with during her teaching career!)

Zoja's

latest awesome mixed media panel

has a spooky touch to it, too.

and I 

- Claudia -

have been taking a break from crafting for the last weeks (due to health reasons),

so I am sharing a revisited steampunk themed project (that was a project for a different design team) that you might not know yet -

the "Numeric Goddess"

We are still in the midst of checking all your fantastic entries to our summer special challenge and 

we hope to see you play along with us again this month - your imagination and creativity really never fail to amaze us! 

The challenge is - as always - open until the end of the month and the normal rules apply (please, make sure you check out our few rules so we don't have to exclude anyone from prize drawings and Top5 votes!)

Hugs and happy crafting!
