TIME OUT Challenges #14

Its is Friday Eve again and that means I am here with our next challenge at TIME OUT Challenges. This is the first challenge that our new Design Team members are joining us. I am sure you will make them welcome, visit their blogs and show them some love! 

It is 'Home Sweet Home' week and we have this photo to inspire you:

There is so much here that you could use to create. The colours, the twine, the box, any of these words etc. I kept coming back to the photo and all I could think about was sentiments in blocks and this is what I came up with using Avery Elle Stamps

A one layer card with a little linen texture.

 I will enter this into the following challenges

AEIHeartU Challenge-CAS

CASology-three. When making the card I really wanted to just use one sentiment and one globe but the rule of 3 got me in the end!

NBUS #2-Darnell's challenge-never before used schtuff. I have used the globe many times but the sentiment I have never been able to stamp before but here I used memento luxe ink an it worked like a dream!

Our DT have all come up with some fabulous designs. You can check them out here.

Then take some TIME OUT of your busy life and do some crafting, have some fun and join in our challenge.

I can't wait to see how this photo inspired you!

        

Addicted to Stamps and More #85

Today at Addicted to Stamps and More we have a very special photo challenge celebrating International Women's Day on the 8th March. Here is the photo we have to inspire you:

 

Remember you can use anything from the photo that inspires you to create. It might be the colours, the silhouette, the date or something related to International Women's Day. I wanted to make a card that reflected how amazing and strong women are when they unite together and came up with this:

I had been playing around with ideas for sentiments to mix up to get the words I wanted. When I saw this card from Bev my ideas just came together and I knew I had to CASE Bev's card with my own twist!  I have used a mix of stamp sets to come up with this. I would like to point out that for this card I used faux sequins! How cool is that. These are from a the 'A Gift For You' set from Uniko Studios-these are I am sure will get a lot more use.

So Ladies....don't you agree, we are pretty amazing together!!

This week is also very special as we have Darnell as our Guest Designer. I am sure many of you know Darnell but if you don't please go and visit her blog here. I think she is a fabulous designer plus her posts are always such fun to read, you really shouldn't miss out on the fun!

And before I leave you to go and Stamp, I would like to direct you to our blog here so you can check out what the DT have made to inspire you.

Addicted TO CAS Challenge #31

Welcome to our first challenge in February at Addicted to CAS. Our hostess this week is the very talented Jaydee and she has chosen the following code word:

And what a perfect word as Valentine's Day is just around the corner. This week we are sponsored by Smart Art Designs and I have used a digi sentiment from this digi set. You could win 5 digi sets this week!

This globe stamp from Avery Elle seemed the perfect match for this sentiment. The heart was stamped and fussy cut and given some shine using glossy accents. Texture was added using my beloved linen impression plate.

Our DT are all full of love and inspiration so don't forget to pop over to our site here and take a look. Plus during February we are very pleased that Anni is joining us as our Guest Designer. If you are not already a fan, please take a peek at her blog here

Addicted to Stamps and More #80

Its time for our photo inspiration challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More. This week we have this yummy photo for you:

We are very pleased that Karen is joining us again this week as our GDT, check out her amazing creations here

I had so many ideas inspired by this photo but struggled to translate my ideas into a card. Eventually I decided to just go with the obvious hearts and love theme. A few new sets of stamps also helped to get mojo moving! And here is what I came up with:

I actually had this die cut heart lying on my craft table as I had used glossy accents on it last week and left it to dry but didn't do anything with it! I liked the 'texture' challenge at The Card Concept Challenge, the colours in the photo and the idea of different textures drew my eye to my glossy heart! My card is the Clean and Layered style. I have used linen card stock to give me more texture and based the layout on the sketch this week at CAS(E) this Sketch. The small hearts are from Avery Elle Stamps and my sentiment is from STAMPlorations

If you pop over to Addicted to Stamps and More you will see some very inspiring projects from the DT. Deedee's digis are sponsoring us this week and offering our winner 3 sets digi images.

I will also enter my card into the following challenges:

City Crafter Challenge-love story

Everybody-Art-Challenge-Heart

Now it is your turn to show us what this photo inspires you to create......have fun!
