October Challenge Designer Inspirations – Part Two

Welcome to our second part of October’s One Sweet Challenge (OSC). Our theme is “use fall colors in your art work” OR “use the theme All Soul’s Day.” Also, please keep in mind that if you are our random winner and you use a Sweet Pea Stamps (SPS) image your prize is three digital images from our online store. If you are the winner and you do not use an SPS image, you win just one digital image. Can you give us one good reason you would not want to use an SPS image?

Let’s get on with the amazing pieces of art work that our OSC Designers have created.

 Annie has created a distressed piece with “Hope” by Rebecca Sinz.



 Bonnie has created a fall color mixed-media piece using Holly Durr’s “Longing.”






 Debbie’s piece has been created with “Hope” by Karen Middleton.



Audrey created a fall color card using ching-chou kuik’s “Autumn Harvest.”


Our OSC Designers’ inspirations should get you in the mood for the autumn season. Please take a few minutes to visit our designers’ blogs. We know that they would all appreciate the love you can give them.

Did you know…?

In our Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook group we have a progressive challenge every two weeks. First, we have a call for projects using any Sweet Pea Stamps image that is available in the store. That theme is “anything goes.” Then those entries will receive a digital image FREE of charge, chosen by our leader and SPS store owner Lynette, for Part Two of the progressive challenge. With that FREE digital image you are asked to make a project and enter it in Part Two. Random.org will pick the winner of Part Two. That winner will receive another digital image of the winner’s choice from the SPS store. Even if you don’t enter our progressive challenge, we hope you will stop by for inspiration and share your Sweet Pea Stamps art.

The Sweet Pea Stamps Designers blog showcases Sweet Pea goodness every day. Need a little pick me up for your creative mojo, or sometimes to view a video, stop by, like I said, “every day.” You can also find out the challenge blogs that Sweet Pea Stamps is sponsoring. Here’s another chance to win more SPS goodness.

Thanks for stopping by!
