SASPC September 2018 Challenge

Namaste! Hello and welcome, friends, to our little corner of the Steampunk Universe! Maura here this month guiding us along in the airship SASPC. Go ahead and get yourself a nice hot cup of tea or coffee, or whatever you like, and settle in with us and just enjoy some great inspiration on this month's journey.

We are really happy that many of you joined us for our Summer Challenge! So many truly creative Steampunk and Industrial projects - you really inspire us! We love having you here playing along with us in a mixed media steampunk and industrial style. Once again, the design team is sharing all makes at the beginning of the month, which will give you  lots of inspiration to get started.

The September 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 tag, card, canvas, art journal, altered object...whatever you can imagine that fits our steampunk/industrial theme. 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, DecoArt and boozybear, for keeping the gears and cogs turning here at SASPC!

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 get either an awesome DecoArt Media prize package, or an amazing boozybear chipboard package. 

Now...enjoy the awesome makes from our wonderful team!

Brigitte

...has created this dapper gentleman's canvas with watercolor and images. He certainly looks like he is ready for an adventure!

Susan

...has created a rusty tin, right off of a laboratory shelf

...and filled it with tiny story books. I am really curious now about the stories inside the tin.

Claudia

Claudia shares that her husband's birthday is today, and wishes her love happy birthday! (We do too!) She made him a steampunk style birthday card, using Tim's new "Foundry" 3D embossing folder (which she loves) and some DecoArt goodness (which she loves too;) to create the look of metal in all its glory. (There's a tutorial of course on her blog, as always)

She kept the design quite simple so the focus remains on the beautiful background and the quote. 

("Alles Gute" is German for "all the best")

Maura

...has let her imagination loose again and can be found somewhere in the universe, riding the back of a giant tortoise. Life is certainly an adventure when you travel at tortoise speed!

Kerstin

...made a mixed media cover for an new journal in an industrial style. That young man looks ready to take on the world with his confidant air.

Zoja

...altered a tiny old drawer into a shadow box filled with intriguing treasures. Using the drawer handle to hang it is ingenious. 

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

Time to adjust your top hat and goggles and get crafting with us! 

Hugs, and happy crafting!
