This way <b>we can all keep sharing steampunk and industrial style makes to inspire each other and get shared on a platform</b>. What I really love about this is that this way we are all equal - no more design team members here and players there, but all of us contributing equally to one pool of incredible inspiration! </p><p>The <b>challenge blog will</b> also stay up (only without new challenges being added) to <b>act as a library of inspiring projects</b> of all thinkable kinds of steampunk and industrial style art (as the Top5 in the Top5 posts and the design team makes are always linked to the projects' post sources, you can simply browse the blog whenever you are in search of some mixed media inspiration, a technique tutorial or a quick boost for your steampunk crafts). </p><p>This way SASPC will not be totally gone, your future makes will still be seen and inspire and the good-bye for now is not too hard as it isn't a total one. ;)</p><p>Maura also wants to let you know that...</p><p><span face=""Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">...It has been such an honor to work on the design team to inspire all of you. I am in awe of the wonderful and amazing talent you share with us each challenge. You are truly an inspiration to me, and keep my love of steampunk going. I'm looking forward to continuing our creative journey together on new paths. Our airship is rising on a new adventure and I am looking forward to the journey!

We all wish you and your loved ones a new year of health and joy. May you find lots of creative fulfillment this year, and of course, we love having you with us, playing and sharing your amazing mixed media, steampunk and industrial style makes! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We are going to be doing things a little differently for awhile, due to the ongoing pandemic around the world. We've decided to make our challenges for two months instead of one, and you may enter up to 5 times instead of the usual three. We know things are difficult for everyone (players, design team and sponsors) and this gives us all a bit more time to be creative without added pressure. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, we do not know when DecoArt will be able to ship out again and what the prize bundle for 2021 will consist of, due to Corona restrictions that are impacting production. We are working with DecoArt to come up with something pleasing to all of you, and hope things will improve by spring. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>The team and I also want to give a huge shout out and thank you to Kerstin for all of her fantastic mixed media projects she has shared with us over so many years. Her projects have been a wonderful treat with all their layers and textures and her eye for detail. We wish Kerstin the best in all her future endeavors, and look forward to some future visits! </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Our January/February challenge is, as usual...

The two lucky winners will be drawn randomly among all proper entries and we will announce them on the 15th of the following month (in this case that means 15th January 2021) alongside our Top5. </p><p><br /></p><p>The challenge theme is also the usual one - </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b>Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial</b></span></p><p>meaning that we definitely want to see some steampunk or industrial style elements without having to search for them with a magnifying glass - but we welcome all sorts of creativity. Do your thing and do what makes you happy - as long as it isn't digitally created and sticks to our challenge theme!</p><p>The team have come up with inspirational projects, too, of course. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://scrapdesigns77.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Kersti</span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">n</span></b></a></p><p>is sharing another of her beautiful desk organisers, done in her brilliantly unique and inspiring steampunk-sea life-mixed media style. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXodCEjhxP7nipR8jBZkAoTn8alH6i21uMwnnwQ6kAU3tR33tons84mmuBmWNJvRlawb88dBZf3vjA4goIAfW8MzHoo9uFtN7tXnw2Z4nFmCelSkOSWZ4M7uDB6Zhujcnz-1jIzFrESsLI/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="334" data-original-width="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXodCEjhxP7nipR8jBZkAoTn8alH6i21uMwnnwQ6kAU3tR33tons84mmuBmWNJvRlawb88dBZf3vjA4goIAfW8MzHoo9uFtN7tXnw2Z4nFmCelSkOSWZ4M7uDB6Zhujcnz-1jIzFrESsLI/s16000/image.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Her project is called </div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">"Steampunk Under the Sea"</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoyceLr1FbypAldBLjZAHAXO9ciNN8mi_wptvgH2q_cXZ6EXaozFxZzs7HUAxMfH_lmfjtaps-3baa7nMECzBxdPNlQHJskGn_x-HOlttctE754ES_6jGAKxcDRq3ej24ifuy51vpOfSaB/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoyceLr1FbypAldBLjZAHAXO9ciNN8mi_wptvgH2q_cXZ6EXaozFxZzs7HUAxMfH_lmfjtaps-3baa7nMECzBxdPNlQHJskGn_x-HOlttctE754ES_6jGAKxcDRq3ej24ifuy51vpOfSaB/s16000/image.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://twocraftingsisters.blogspot.com/2016/12/steampunk-christmas-angel.html" target="_blank">Maura</a></b></span></p><p>is re-visiting a project from 2016 that is still dear to her heart.

<br />
I hope you are all well and safe and on your way back to (almost) normal in and after these crazy times!<br />
Our June challenge is - once more - an<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial</span></div>
<br />
<br />
one - so you are free to create what brings you joy (as long as it fits the steampunk or industrial theme and follows our few challenge rules of course).<br />
<br />
Our wonderfully generous and true sponsors <b><a href="https://decoart.com/" target="_blank">DecoArt</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/boozybear?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">boozybear</a></b> are with us again - so the two prizes will be given away as usual after the challenge has ended. As always we will be picking our Top 5 and randomly drawing our prize winners among all <b>proper entries</b> after the challenge has closed at the end of the month and announce these on the 15th the month after.<br />
<br />
Having said this, let's head on to the makes of my wonderful design team! If you want to learn more about how they've done their projects and what they've used, simply visit their blogs by clicking on their names. To get a larger view, simply click on the images.<br />

I hope you and your loved ones are all well and safe and coping well with isolation and all the other (necessary) new rules and circumstances that have been turning everyday life into unknown territory for all of us these days.<br />
<br />
Due to a lot of services and businesses (including both our sponsors) being forced to "take a break" right now to keep their employees safe and to help slow down and minimising the spreading of Covid 19 <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">we have decided to not take a break actually but instead turn our actual March challenge into a two-months long challenge</span></b> (like we usually do with our summer and winter specials). We hope that by the start of May things will slowly start to get back to normal and then we will also know more so we can decide on how to carry on. But carry on we will - especially as <span style="color: #b45f06; font-weight: bold;">creating is such a good means to escape reality for some time and especially a good way to practice mindfulness </span>which has become even more important these days!<br />
<br />
So here's the plan so far: the March challenge stays open until the end of April and as this turns our challenge into a two-months long one <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">we will this time accept six instead of the usual three entries per player</span></b>. And by May 15th we hope to be able to announce the Top5 and prize winners as usual again. So keep creating and sharing your steampunk and industrial style makes with us! <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Let's all share inspiration and help keep up our spirits. </span></b><br />

Isn't is awesome how Kerstin has kind of "sculpted" a self made steampunk texture plate she created using a soft mold around a glass bottle?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking at her fantastic project really makes me want to try this out myself (even though - or especially though - I am not good at working with molds)!<br />
I really admire her skill, imagination and talent! And look at the yummy texture and the beautiful rusty look! </div>

<br />
...and of course it is also always a good thing to check out the makes that have already been entered to the challenge by our players so far. And - <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">more important than ever - please, take a moment to leave a little love on the peoples' blogs and sites you're visiting</span></b> - this way you will definitely put smiles on peoples faces. Urgently needed smiles, right?! ;)<br />
<br />
You can either scroll to the previous challenge post (if you haven't checked out the design team's makes for the March challenge) or just use the collection at the bottom of this post here (as I have just added it to this post as well).<br />

As we love and think it important to shine the well deserved spotlights on ALL our Top5 projects we are asking our players to either enter our challenges via other platforms than Instagram OR to follow the instructions on how to <b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">enter a direct image of the project</span></b> and add links and email manually - to make this easier I have added a short <b>how-to</b> to our tabs with the challenge rules and other info (right below our challenge blog header) that explains how to <b>enter an image to an inlinkz collection directly from your image folder from your devices</b> you're using. As Instagram do no longer allow to fetch images from their site, these cannot be displayed with our Top 5 posts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for your understanding! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This challenge blog is mainly about YOU, our players, and YOUR CREATIVITY! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So not being able to have them here in one spot for everyone to see actually makes me sad and is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quite frustrating too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Claudia here this month to present to you our March challenge, which is once again an<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial </span></div>
<br />
themed one.<br />
<br />
Just before we dive into steampunk crafting fun I would like to once more address the fact that we ask all our players who enter our challenges via Instagram to <b><span style="color: #45818e;">upload their pictures directly to our InLinkz collection instead of giving the Instagram link</span></b>. They have made some changes to their platform at the start of the year - one of which doesn't allow fetching images from their platform anymore. But as this is a challenge blog that is mainly about sharing inspiration and getting inspired by the others' projects (and only secondly about making Top5 or win two of our sponsors' generous prize bundles), being able to see these in a picture is crucial (at least from my point of view).<br />
<br />
For all those not familiar with uploading images to Inlinkz directly from their devices and how to add a link and email address I have put up a <b><span style="color: #45818e;">short how-to that you can find in our tabs right below our challenge blog header</span></b>.<br />
<br />
This way we will be able to show ALL your Top 5 projects again instead of just having links and names in our Top 5 listings! Thanks for your understanding!<br />
<br />
Bespoken "prize bundles" are - as always - being donated by our two generous and true sponsors <b><a href="https://decoart.com/" target="_blank">DecoArt</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/boozybear?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">boozybear</a></b> to whom the team and I would once more like to shout out a huge "THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND FOR BEING WITH US!"<br />
As usual two prize winners will be selected at the end of the month via random.org among all proper entries - so make sure you've checked our few rules (which you can find with the "Da Rules" tab below our blog header). The challenge is open until the end of the month and prize winners are announced on the 15th of the following month.<br />
<br />
My wonderful design team have once more come up with awesomely inspiring projects and I always love the variety in their approaches to the steampunk or industrial theme! But let's stop talking - take a look for yourselves:<br />
