Challenge #11 starts today and we have a new sketch, new color challenge and new inspiration from the design team! Choose your favorite, whether it be the sketch or the color combo – we always give you 2 challenges to choose from.
Play along and you may just be the winner of a gift certificate to the YNS store!!! All paper crafting products are welcome, as are all paper crafted creations. Don’t feel limited to just a card…perhaps there is a scrapbook layout in your future? Or how about a 3D creation?

There may be stars on sketch #11, but 3 of any shape will do. Also, remember that you can rotate the sketch. We just need to see that the basic sketch was clearly your inspiration.
