Happy Friday!

With the weekend coming up and it being a long weekend for our friends in the USA and Canada, hopefully you find some crafting time!

If you are looking for inspiration to give you a jump start then why don’t you join in Challenge #22!   Challenge #22 starts now with a new sketch and a new color combo to choose from.   What will you be inspired to create?   We can’t wait to see!

Challenge #22 is open through Thursday, September 17th at midnight EST.   That gives you 2 weeks to play along for a chance to win a YNS gift certificate.   One random participant will win a $15.00 gift certificate to the YNS Store, plus if the winner uses YNS products on their creation they will receive an additional $5.00 on their gift certificate.  We also select our favorite creation featuring YNS products from all participants and announce a “Top Pick”.   The random winner and “Top Pick” will be announced on the YNS blog the Sunday following the challenge close.   Simply link up a picture of your creation from your blog, gallery, etc. at the bottom of this post and you will be entered to win.

Our challenges give you the choice of either a sketch or color combo. You only need to pick one…unless you really want to challenge yourself and combine the 2!

Sketch #22:

If you use the sketch feel free to swap out shapes or rotate; so long as we can see the basic sketch was your inspiration.

Color combination #22:

If you choose the color combo, be sure to use at least 3 colors and feel free to add in neutrals.
