SASPC June 2018 Top 5 and Prize Winners

Hi, servus and welcome back to our little creative steampunk style mixed media corner! Claudia here today and it is time to reveal the Top 5 and prize winners from our June challenge.
Thank you each and every one who has been entering our challenge for playing along - we loved ALL your entries (we always do as they are always so amazing and unique) so much! So picking our Top5 was - as always - really hard.

But before I start with first announcing our two prize winners (that were drawn among all proper entries), I would like to invite you to play along with our two months long summer special challenge! It is an "Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial" themed one again and instead of the usual month you have until the end of August to enter up to five (instead of the usual three) entries this time. Simply click on the image below or scroll to the previous post or use the text link above to get there. I hope the inspirational makes of my wonderful design team will spark your imagination ;) The team and I would love to see you play along!

But now on to our prize winners! Another two prize bundles generously donated by our wonderful sponsors DecoArt media and boozybear have found new destinations! The DecoArt media goodies

go to 

#19 - Maggie

and a surprise package of amazing steampunk chipboard pieces from boozybear

goes to 

# 14 - Jo 

Yay! Congrats on your prize wins, ladies! Please, send your shipping info to the email address given in the side bar, so I can have your goodies be sent to you. DecoArt prize winners, please, also provide a phone number for shipping details. Thank you!

Before I say good bye for now, another reminder to join in our summer special challenge HERE. The whole team are presenting their inspirational projects in the kick off post for this challenge - so you will find a lot of steampunk and industrial goodness there to spark your imagination. I will be back in two weeks with a summer special challenge reminder post (not sure yet what I will be sharing in this post, but it will definitely be something to spark even more ideas and imagination ;). 

Hugs and happy summer crafting!

Claudia & the SASPC Team

SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Summer Special 2018!

Hi, servus and welcome to our annual Summer Special, dear steampunk and industrial style friends! Claudia here, to bring to you the usual two months long summer challenge for July and August, that is meant to provide our players and the design team sufficient time to create a little something to play along during the holidays and hot summer months when we all prefer to be outdoors and catch a  lot of summer sun and fun!

The challenge theme for our summer special is - as always -

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

so you're free to create what you enjoy most - as long as it has a steampunk or industrial style twist.


This year the whole team present their makes in this post. There will be some reminder post on the 1st of August and of course the Top5 and prize winners post from the June challenge on the 15th of the current month. But maybe you will want to make a little note to yourselves to play along....as we will give away our usual two prizes for the summer special challenge too. These are donated by our wonderful sponsors DecoArt and boozybear and we are so grateful for their generosity!

The two prizes will go to two winners who will be picked among all proper entries. So make sure you have checked our few challenge rules (see according page below our challenge blog header). We have added some updates recently due to entries via facebook accounts with strict privacy settings or blogs that only accept invited readers, which is a problem for us, as we cannot access your blogs or see the facebook or blog posts and therefore cannot see or comment on your projects... nor can we include these with our top5 votes or prize draws (which is a shame).  

The summer special challenge is open from July 1st to August 31st. We allow five entries per player instead of the usual three - so chances to get picked as a prize winner are higher than ever ;) 

My lovely design team ladies have once more created an amazing bundle of inspiration for you! Here we go! If you click on the design team's names, you get taken to their blogs where you can see the projects in more detail and also learn about techniques and products used. Please, take a few minutes to leave them a little love there! Thank you!

The team and I wish you happy summer holidays!

Claudia
