SASPC Summer Special 2019 Top 5 and Prize Winners

Hi, servus and welcome back after the summer holidays! Claudia here with the huge pleasure to announce the Top 5 and prize winners from this year's steampunk summer special challenge.

We had some amazing fifty-five entries and picking our personal favourites and limiting them down to only five was really hard (honestly I loved ALL the projects entered as they were all so inspiring and done with so much imagination and love for detail....well, honestly all the entries always are...which makes me the happiest and proudest challenge blog owner on this planet ;). But the rules are the rules...so pick we must! And we have ;)

But let me announce our prize winners first. These were randomly picked among all proper entries and this amazing bundle of DecoArt premium paints and media from our wonderful prize sponsor 


goes to 

entry #38 - Maryann





And a surprise package of beautiful steampunk chipboard pieces 
designed and donated by our other wonderful sponsor Glenda aka 





goes to 

entry #27 - Sara Emily


Congrats on your prize wins, Maryann and Sara! Thanks for playing along and sharing your beautiful projects! Please, contact me under the email address in our sidebar so I can forward your shipping info to our sponsors. Maryann, please, also include a phone number as DecoArt only ship if they have a number to call in case of delivery issues.

But now on to our Top...nah...let me remind you of our actual September challenge first. *evilgiggle
It has - as always - started on the 1st of the month and is open until 30th September. Please, make sure you check our few rules if you haven't already done so - it would be a shame if we had to exclude anyone from our Top 5 votes and prize draws! Simply click HERE to get to the actual challenge - or use the badge on top of our sidebar. We hope you will share some more incredible steampunk goodness with us again this month!


And now it's (finally!) time for some applause for our....

Sandee and Amelie's September 2019 Steampunk Challenge

Hello and welcome friends, to our little corner of the Steampunk Universe! 

Maura here, and all I can say is WOW!! 

What a fantastic turnout for our Summer Special Challenge! I can tell already, it's going to be super difficult for the design team to select our Top Five. Thanks so much to each and every one of you who entered our Summer challenge and  to those of you who stopped by to visit, we truly appreciate it. 

The design team shares their makes at the beginning of each month to jumpstart your creativity.

Our 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 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, 

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

Now...on to the awesome makes from our wonderful team!




Zoja

created this very cool, and a bit spooky, altered box with lots of great dimensional elements!




Look how it slides up to reveal a hidden compartment filled with treasures. 







has turned her hand to a bit of sewing and fabric incorporated into her mixed media masterpiece!







up cycled some packaging materials and combined paints and prepared die cuts from her "holiday tool box" to create a mixed media panel (with improvised stand) that she titled
"The Inventor"









made a canvas board titled "The Dog on the Wall" using paint, stencil, die cut and image...
Looks like a lot of math going on here!







shares another textural masterpiece titled
"Another Path"
Look carefully and you can see the bicycle hanging from chains!




Detail...




and I, Maura

"Rust Never Sleeps"
My muse works in mysterious ways...I was inspired to create my ATC's by a broken down washing machine with rusty pipes, an old truck with a rusted frame, and a song! I'm sharing the story behind that on my blog.

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 September. 

Remember, we will have two prize draws and choose the design team's Top 5, and post on September 15th, so be sure to pop back to check that out.

Time to put your top hat on, cinch up your corset, or tie on your spats, and get crafting with us!
Hugs, and happy crafting!
