Time Out #45 Reminder

Have you taken TIME OUT to play along at TIME OUT challenges?

We are in the middle of our 'Inspired by Words' challenge and those words are:

'Snowflakes are Winter's butterflies'

Use any of these words or the whole phrase to inspire you to create.
This week I went with snowflakes and made this card which is going to hubby for Christmas:

All the stamps here are from Uniko.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge, Ashwini, is joining us again this week with a reminder card. Another totally inspiring card. You can find that and all the cards from our DT here. Take a look, then kick back and join in the fun!

I will enter this into:

Time Out Reminder

I am back with a reminder to join in our challenge at Time Out Challenges.

Our challenge is:

Nature with the optional twist of Animals

This time I didn't use the twist.

I know we are in the middle of Summer in Britain but some where in the world it will be Autumn and I do love this stamp set. A one layer CAS card!

Our DT and our inspiring Guest Designer Barb have all made some fabulous cards. Check them out here

Then kick back and join in the fun.

Time Out Reminder

Have you played along with our latest challenge at Time Out Challenges?

It is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge and the words are:

'Happy is the Bride that the sun shines on'

You can be inspired by any of these words or the whole phrase. Last week I went with the Wedding theme but this week I went for 'sun' and created this:

I did some masking and water colouring to create a sunset and sea scene and then embossed my sentiment. Then I popped this up on some patterned paper-yes my friends, patterned paper!

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Sue. We are so happy that Sue is joining us and you can check out her blog, Sue's card Craft, and I assure you that you will come away ready to craft.

Our DT have made some wonderful creations to inspire you. Check them out here.

Now, you sure do need some TIME OUT to get crafty and join in the fun xx

Time Out Challenges Reminder and Uniko Studio Reminder

Have you joined in the challenges at Time Out Challenges and Uniko Studio yet? If not you still have time.

At Time Out Challenges we are asking for:

Embossing with the optional twist of sparkle and we are sponsored by Avocado Arts

And at Uniko Studio we are asking for:

Anything goes or Anything Goes using this sketch:

I made a card that is suitable for both challenges using the sketch above.

I have gold embossed and then water coloured this butterfly from the Uniko  stamp set English Country Garden and the sentiment is from Uniko Flower Power #1.

I will aslo enter this into CAS(E) this sketch with my sentiment moved to the middle.

Both DT have made some outstanding cards for these challenges. Take a peek at them and then get crafting and join in the fun x

Time Out Reminder

Happy Friday Eve and that means over at TIME OUT Challenges we are announcing our winners, go check it out and see if you are there.

I am also here to remind you that you still have nearly a week to join in our 'Home Sweet Home Photo' challenge.

Here is my card:

I came up with the idea for this card when I saw the challenge this week at CAS on Sunday. I remembered that I had wanted to make a card for TIME OUT Challenges using the feather hanging from the tee pee in our photo here:

However for my original DT card I went for the colours and patterns but thanks to the 'Sympathy' card challenge CAS on Sunday this idea popped into my head. For some reason I think feathers seem just right on a sympathy card. I also think this sentiment is perfect at these times. I kept the card neutral but did get a bit arty by adding in my own feather lines using a white pen. I wasn't sure this would work but really like how it turned out and just added a few more once I became confident I wouldn't mess it up!

Head on over to TIME OUT Challenges as we have winners and more inspiration from other DT members to encourage you to take some TIME OUT and create with us x

Time Out Reminder

Good Morning crafting friends,

Today I am here with a card to remind you that our 'Inspired by Words' challenge is still up and running at TIME OUT Challenges. Our words this week are:

'Time Flies, Love Lasts'

Today I have used bird charms to represent 'flies' and a glossy heart to represent 'love'. You can choose any word you want from this phrase or be inspired by the whole phrase.

I think this might be the first time I have used charms on my card but I have always admired how my crafting friend Pia uses them on many of her cards. So I decided to give it a go when my sister gave me these adorable wooden charms.

I am going to enter this into the 'ribbon or twine' challenge at Crazy for CAS

You still have a week to enter our challenge at TIME OUT, so why not take some TIME OUT for yourself and join in the fun x
