TIME OUT #214 - Inspired By Words

We have agreat TIME OUT Challenge fo you this fortnight - some inspiring words from one of my husband's favourite actor/comedians - Steve Martin:

We are so thrilled to have Cas-ual Fridays Stamps sponsoring us for this challenge by offering the winner a $25 store credit :)

I decided to focus on the sunshine part of the quote - and the overall feeling of it - which I associated with hope. I love this Hero Arts My MOnthly Hero kit and I thought it would be perfect for the challenge. I can't take credit for the design of this card - I was really inspired by Channin Pelletier's card here using a stained glass technique for the die cut. I used a sparkly pico embellisher to fill in the work and I used the yellow sparkle embossing powder that came with the kit fo rthe sun rays - so there is some sparkle in this design even though the picture doesn't capture it.

We are so happy to have Trina Pham of Phamtastic Design joining us this week - her designs are gorgeous and sure to provides oodles of inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #213 - Vacation

With summer coming soon, we have the perfect TIME OUT Challenge to get you in the mood to enjoy it - a vaction theme challenge!

 

We are thrilled to have Lawn Fawn sponsoring us again for this challenge - generously offering the winner a $25 gift voucher :)

I always think of travel when I think of vaction - so I created a simple card using iron-off emboss resist, and ink blending using an older Clearly Besotted set. The greeting is from Neat & Tangled.

We are so lucky to have the amazing Marieke joining us as a GD this week - her work is so amazing!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
