Happy Friday!!!  

We have a new challenge starting today and would love to see you join in the fun!

Challenge #32 starts today with a new sketch and color combo for you to choose from.  Pick the one that inspires you, unless you really want to challenge yourself and combine the two!  Plus, the best part is you might win a gift certificate to the YNS store by playing along.

Please be sure to read through the updated challenge rules at the bottom of this post.  There are a couple changes including a limit of 3 entries per person.

All stamp company products are welcome in the challenge.   We really love to see YNS supplies though, so we have added a second way to win if you use YNS supplies on your creation and share the challenge on social media!!!  

Social Media mini challenge – Does your challenge creation feature YNS products?  Then take our social media mini challenge to be entered in an extra prize drawing!   In addition to the inlinkz link up below to your blog or gallery, add your challenge creation to Instagram with “#yournextstamp” and “ynschallenge32”, the YNS Facebook page, and/or your SplitcoastStampers gallery with keyword “yournextstamp” and“ynschallenge32” and be sure to mention the YNS Challenge.   There will be a separate drawing for all challenge projects added to those 3 social media sites during the challenge time period.  If you add to one site then you receive 1 entry in the drawing.  If you add to two you will receive 2 and 3 entries if you add to all three.   Remember, this is only for challenge creations featuring YNS products.  The random winner will receive a YNS Store gift certificate for $20.  That means potentially you could win twice – once on the blog and then again for sharing on social media!

Challenge #32 is open through Thursday, February 18th at midnight EST.  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.
