Time Out Challenges #60

Hi All,

I am at this very minute on the way to Greece for my holiday and so for the next 2 weeks I have only my scheduled DT posts going out. I am hoping looking forward to some sun and pure relaxation. I am hoping the wifi will work where we are going so I can still come visit you now and then but if I am quiet you know why!

Time for a new challenge at Time Out.

It is our CASE (copy and share everything) challenge. This time we are very happy that we are CASEing the very talented and inspiring Therese. Her blog, Lost in Paper, is known by many of you but if not pop on over there and you will come back full of creativity.

Here is the card I made CASEing Therese's card.

I took my main inspiration from her subtle use of vellum. I liked the pattern on her vellum strip and used a score line very similar to this. I then used her flowers and colours as my next inspiration but again used vellum for these, colouring the backside of the vellum. This flower and sentiment is from the Doodled Flower set-Happy Little Stampers

Here is Therese's wonderful card:

Plenty here for you to allow your creativity bloom.

Our Guest Designer this week is the very talented Birgit. Her blog is a delight to visit-pop on over to Crafting While I Wait, and you will see what I mean.

This challenge is for one week only and closes at next Wed 6th July at 5pm BST-so get crafting my friends. I can't wait to see what you create.

Enjoy!

Time Out Reminder #59

Hello All

Time to remind you to join in our 'Theme with a twist challenge' at Time Out. And our theme is:

Masculine with optional twist of mixed media

I didn't twist again this week. However there is an extra prize if you twist-see Time Out for details

All the stamps her are from STAMPlorations who are our sponsors for this challenge. 

I got the inspiration for this card when I saw Shirley's  card here on pintrest. I liked the way she used the grunge mixed media stamp. 

Our Guest Designer, Patti of Stationery Styles, is again joining us this week. Take a look here to see what she and the team have made to inspire you to play.

Have a Gorgeous Day

Hi All

I am here to wish you all a gorgeous day and week. And what better way to do this than with a card!

I based the lay out for this on the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch using score lines. I got the colours from the challenge this week at Just Us Girls.

Have a fun week x

   

AAA Cards #67 Googley Eyes

Hi All,

Time for a new challenge at AAA cards. We have gone with:

'Googly Eyes'

Here is my 'Clean and Simple' card:

This was a tough one for me as I don't really have anything cute in my stash as I wouldn't use this sort of thing normally. However teamie Sarah came to my rescue and sent me a little bag to play with-thank you Sarah. I surprised myself and had a lot of fun making this. I think I was lucky to find a sentiment that the eyes fitted and using the googly eyes like I usually do with sequins or enamel dots gave me a giggle anyway! I think this card might go to hubby as he really likes CAS cards, he is totally cool for putting up with me and this will make him smile!

The super talented and creative Patti is our Guest Designer for this challenge. Her blog, Stationery Styles is a joy to visit.

Our sponsors for this challenge are Stampendous and the winner will get a $20 gift voucher.

Remember to keep your card 'Clean and Simple' and aslo to have have lots of fun!

Pop over to AAA cards and see what Patti and the DT have created to inspire you x

A very Happy Weekend to you all,

At Inkspirational we are starting our 'Designer's Choice' Challenge. It is the very talented Kim turn to choose and she has chosen:

'Masking'

A last minute make!

Hi There,

I have been wanting to enter all week the 'splatters' challenge at Less is More. I made a card earlier in the week for it but hadn't realised it was one layer so here I am at the last minute with an entry that was actually inspired by 2 other challenges I saw today. I apologise for the photo but it is past 6pm in a dull London and as the challenge closes in a few hours and this card has just been made...dull skies it had to be!

It was the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch that inspired this layout and the colours are inspired by the photo challenge that come out today at Uniko-I picked out the yellow, pink, blue and grey from the photo.

The flower and splatter stamps are from Visable Images and the sentiment from Uniko.

I have been sending out a few 'just because' cards recently and have run out, so I need to stock up and this one is perfect for this.

I hope you all have a fun and relaxing weekend x
