Time Out Challenges #88

Hi All,

A new challenge starts today at Time Out

It is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge. The words this week come from the Children's novel 'Twits' by Roald Dahl:

'If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely' 

You can use any of these words or the whole phrase to inspire you. You might want to go with 'shine' or 'sunbeams' as many of you are seeing that this time of year. Or why not remind someone they 'look lovely'....perhaps send someone 'good thoughts'. So many possibilities with this one quote!

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very creative Toni.


Her blog Frankie Helps Craft is a delight to visit. Take some Time Out and pop over there and have a browse. We guarantee you will love what you see. We are so happy Toni is joining us for this challenge.

I went with sending someone positive thoughts and created this card:



I heat embossed, in white, this fab sentiment from The Ton. Then dry embossed the white background to give a lovely light, floaty feel to the card-like being cuddled with positive thoughts. I just added this star paper click and a few enamel dots to finish off.
I really love how this turned out.

Our DT have all been inspired differently by this quote-pop over to Time Out and have a look.

Then take some TIME OUT and play along with us x

I will enter this into:
Cupcake Inspirations-black, yellow and white
Calling All Sistahs Encouragement Challenge -picking out the yellow from the photo and my embossed background could be the floating clouds!
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge-seeing stars

    Love it, Sandie ... the contrast of that fabulous bold (and so true!) sentiment on black with the soft embossed background is fantastic ... and the little yellow star ... it's perfect! You could pop this in at SSS Wednesday, their theme is We're Seeing Stars! Hugs, Anita :)

    I love this sentiment stamp (remember I used it at your place, I haven't blogged the card with it yet though because it's a future DT card) and great use of the embossing folder as bg too. The yellow accents add a lot of interest. Great card!

    Perfect take on that Roald Dahl quote! This is a great CAS card, and I'm loving all that white with those pops of yellow and the splashes of black. I love stopping by your blog and seeing what you've created; always something very cool! Bev
