A hearty welcome to SanDee&amelie's challenge blog!

Please, note, that this challenge blog is not related to any business and run without any profit by people, who do this for your and their own leisure time fun! Our only reward are your encouraging comments and your playing along and sharing steampunk fun and mixed media techniques. We appreciate every single entry and comment so much! Thank you for taking the time!

If you are new to this place, please, know that we are so glad that you stopped by our little steampunk corner!
Whether you are a dedicated tag or card maker, art journaler or mixed media lover - this might be the right place for you!
For more information about the rules and the little "steampunk/industrial twist" we ask of you, please check the "about" stuff and then simply jump in and create!

If you are new to steampunk and not sure if this is "your thing", maybe take a look at our winners gallery on pinterest (use the linking button on our side bar). You will find that we're mainly a mixed media challenge blog with a little twist towards steampunk, industrial and/or vintage. So why not give it a try?

We are looking forward to seeing your fab projects entered to one of our challenges soon!



Hugs,
SanDee&amelie&the SASPC team

September '16 Challenge - Team B Makes

Servus and welcome back to our usual mid-monthly share of the inspirational makes of Team B!

And I am using this opportunity to welcome all our new players who have joined in during the last few months!

This place is constantly growing and attracting more and more fabulously creative people from all around the globe and we are so proud of that - but I also know that part of this is due to our players, my fab Design Team and our prize sponsors, who all make this place the special mixed media spot it is! So thank you for being so true and for sharing your fantastic mixed media art with us so constantly!

Our aim is for you to find a lot of fun and inspiration by playing along and during your visits here and also by visiting the blogs of our players and the DT! We are open for all sorts of crafters and artists, for all levels of skill and all kinds of stamped, painted, collaged, drawn,...well, media-mixed projects as long as they are handmade. These can be cards, tags, altered objects, altered art jewellery, canvasses, art journal pages, assemblage pieces...well, whatever you can think of. All we ask for is that your projects are either industrial or steampunk style mixed media projects. It's that easy and that fun!

Our challenges are open for a whole month and you can either make our Top5 (who are being chosen by the whole DT) or/and win one of our two monthly prizes donated by our generous sponsors DecoArt media and boozybear. All you have to do is stick to the few challenge rules (that can be found on an extra page right under our challenge blog header) and enter up to three projects!

We would also love it if you took a second or two to visit the blogs of the DT (for more information and images and maybe even  a how-to here and there) and leave a short comment of approval! You get to their blogs by clicking on their names. And be assured - you will make them very happy by doing so!


As most of our challenges are, the September challenge is an 

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

one too. 

You will find the linky tool at the bottom of this post.


And here are the projects 
from Team B:



decided to make an industrial style project this time.
She has altered the cover of her new timer and 
calls her piece
"Let time stand still!"








(which is me)
I  had a fun play with some of Tim Holtz' Sizzix dies 
and created a steampunk necklace pendant using 
his ornate frame die and some shrink plastic. 
There's a how-to on my blog. 






transformed an old encyclopedia into a steampunk
"Tome of Time" 








used a mixed media board and lots of DecoArt media
products to create this beauty: 





and 


challenged herself by using just a limited number of art supplies
to create this awesome vintage travellers tag.
(stencils, embossing powder, distress ink and "lots of metal tidbits"
as she says).

  2. Fabulous inspiration from the team! NOW, I think I must add my 2 cents worth! It's been a while since I've done anything even close to fitting this challenge.
