A hearty welcome to SanDee&amelie's challenge blog!

Please, note, that this challenge blog is not related to any business and run without any profit by people, who do this for your and their own leisure time fun! Our only reward are your encouraging comments and your playing along and sharing steampunk fun and mixed media techniques. We appreciate every single entry and comment so much! Thank you for taking the time!

If you are new to this place, please, know that we are so glad that you stopped by our little steampunk corner!
Whether you are a dedicated tag or card maker, art journaler or mixed media lover - this might be the right place for you!
For more information about the rules and the little "steampunk/industrial twist" we ask of you, please check the "about" stuff and then simply jump in and create!

If you are new to steampunk and not sure if this is "your thing", maybe take a look at our winners gallery on pinterest (use the linking button on our side bar). You will find that we're mainly a mixed media challenge blog with a little twist towards steampunk, industrial and/or vintage. So why not give it a try?

SASPC September 2018 Top5 and Prize Winners

Hi, servus and welcome to our announcing the Top5 and prize winners from the September challenge, dear steampunk and industrial style friends!




As always I feel the urge to say a huge THANK YOU to all who have been playing along with us so truly and constantly since my (dearly missed) friend Sandra and I put up this challenge blog. We have come incredibly far and this spot wouldn't be the special place it has become without YOU and your wonderful makes and all the fab inspiration shared (and without my wonderful design team and our generous sponsors DecoArt media and Glenda from boozybear chipboard pieces of course). I feel truly blessed to be the owner of this challenge blog - because of you all! Mwah! XXX

The October challenge is in full swing (remember, we also accept Halloween themed makes as long as they have at least a bit of a visible twist towards industrial or steampunk) and there's still two more weeks left to enter the challenge, share some steampunk fun, maybe make our Top5 by doing so and also to get eligible for one of our two prize bundles - one being donated by DecoArt media



the other - a surprise package of awesomely inspiring steampunk chipboard pieces - by awesomely talented Glenda aka boozybear.


The winners get drawn randomly from all proper entries. So make sure you've checked our few challenge rules before you enter our challenge for the first time!


So let's see who won the September goodies...


...aaaaand the winner of the DecoArt package is...

SanDee&amelie's October 2018 Steampunk Challenge

Hi, servus and welcome back to the start of our October challenge, dear steampunk and industrial style mixed media, stamping and crafting friends!

It's Claudia here this month to present our new challenge. As always our theme is

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial


but as Halloween is fast approaching we of course also welcome projects that are a mix of both - steampunk/industrial elements and Halloween fun! This way you don't have to interrupt any Halloween swing you're currently in but are still able to play along with us (and get eligible for one of our two prizes being given away to randomly drawn players by our generous sponsors DecoArt media and boozybear). The challenge is open until the end of the month. Prize winners and Top5 will be announced on the 15th of the following month.

If you haven't already checked out our few and simple to follow challenge rules, we would like to ask you to do so before entering our challenge - it would be a shame if your wonderful makes would have to be excluded from Top 5 votes or prize draws!

As mentioned above - Halloween is in the air already: so a great part of the design team have also come up with projects that have a Halloween twist. But have a look yourselves:




has come up with this awesomely textural 
"Double Frame"




Just look at the beautiful detail in the background:






Maura


headed over to the darker side this month, inspired by the legends of the Celcitc goddess Morrigu.




She created four ATCs  using alcohol inks, then connected them into a folding panel.





Kerstin

has once more created a beautifully layered mixed media panel in her unique style.
"The Halloween month has begun - 
the right time for a tombstone in a bewitched place!"
she says.






Susan's

amazingly textural and wonderfully eerie project
goes by the title of
"Survivoring Halloween"





Zoja

has once more created a steampunk project using
vibrant colours and combining these with beautiful
steampunk themed bits 'n bobs.





You just gotta love this mini steampunk album!



and I

- Claudia -

have challenged myself  with the mission to use up some of my long hoarded tiny scraps and pieces I have been keeping in little tins and bowls on my desk (some for ages) and combine then into a mixed media steampunk canvas





The only spooky detail with my project is that it has one piece on it that I have been hoarding
for at least five years now! lol





***

As usual you will find more images and info on the projects by visiting the design team's blogs. Please,  leave them a little love there if you can spare a second or two. You will make them very happy by doing so! Thank you!

***

So get your thinking hats on, rummage your boxes with those long hoarded treasures, browse your favourite steampunk and Halloween themed dies, get out your favourite colours for this time of the year....do whatever makes you happy at your craft desks and share the results with us by entering our challenge. We love being inspired by all your fantastic makes and your imagination!

Don't forget to come back here on the 15th to find out who made it into our September Top5 and who won the prizes from our two generous sponsors!
