Posted by: Julie Elak on Friday, April 28, 2017 at 12:00 am

Challenge #63 starts today!

It is the perfect way to jump start your creativity. The best part is you have the chance to win a YNS Store gift certificate if you play along!!

There is a new sketch and color combo to choose from, plus the design team and guests are sharing their takes on the challenge. Remember, you can choose either the sketch or color combo, unless you really want to challenge yourself and combine the two!

Challenge #63 is open through Thursday, May 11, 2017 at midnight EST.

PLUS…if you are using YNS products on your creation why don’t you take the YNS Social Media challenge too?! You don’t need to create a different project, simply add your Challenge #63 entries to IG, SCS or FB. Check out all the details in the rules at the bottom.

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.
