Happy Friday!   A new month starts in only a couple days, but if you are looking for something new then join in challenge #26, which starts today.

We have a new sketch and a new color combo for you to choose from.  You only need to pick one to inspire you, unless you really want to challenge yourself and combine the 2!  Plus, the best part is you might win a gift certificate to the YNS store by playing along.

Challenge #26 is open through Thursday, November 12th 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.   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.

Are you ready to see which one will inspire you?

The sketch?

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.

The colors?

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

We look forward to stopping by to see which one you decide to go with.
