Fusion-Orchid Occassions

Hello All,

We have a new challenge at Fusion.

You can use the sketch, the photo or combine the 2.

I loved this photo and decided to go with the colours and created this:

The butterfly stamp from Happy Little Stampers has been heat embossed on vellum and the corner stamp from Stamplorations has also been heat embossed.

Here is our graphic:

Time Out #53

Hello All

At Time Out Challenges we have our 'Inspired by Words' challenge. We have a great quote this week:

'A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water' by Eleanor Roosevelt

I created this card:

I hope you can see the quote-it has been heat embossed with bronze embossing powder. I decided to just focus on the idea of the 'strength' of a woman and thought this quote said it all.

Our Guest Designer this week is the very talented Elaine Take a look at her inspiring blog Craft-E-Place. I have followed Elaine for a long time now and she is so very creative. Her blog is a joy to visit.

Then pop over to Time Out and see how are DT have been inspired by this quote and I hope this gives you plenty of ideas to join in.

This challenge is only for one week and closes next Wed 6th April 5pm GMT

That means you need to get crafty pretty quickly...but you need some TIME OUT!

I will enter this into the sketch challenge at Sovushka Slavia

Before I go I wanted to share with you a couple of photos of my trip to Finland to see Nonni.

First off, Nonni, Callum (my hubby) me and Rafa (Nonni's dog)

We have a fabulous inspirations photo that we hope will inspire you to help us celebrate.

Here is my Clean and Simple card:

I was inspired by the colours, the musical text and the ribbon bow. I thought this die cut bow tie was a perfect way to party for our second Anniversary.

Here is our fab photo:

Inkspirational #105

Hi All,

We have a photo challenge at Inkspirational this week.

Here is my take on the photo:

Here is our photo:

I got the idea for this card when I saw Elaine's card here. I loved this card and Elaine was kind enough to say I could CASE it. I was inspired by the focal point of the umbrella and the colour. Instead of an umbrella I went with the flower (Uniko). This was heat embossed in orange on acetate and then coloured on the back, fussy cut and popped up on foam pads. I used a mixed media background (STAMPlorations)

Our Guest Designer is the inspiring Rae Ann. Her colouring is outstanding-take a look at her blog here

We have some fabulous projects here created by our Guest Designer and our DT.

Have fun playing along with us x

Time Out #52 Reminder

Hi All,

First off, I am sorry I have not been visiting you all as much as I normally try to and have not posted for a week. However, I do have a good excuse. I have been to Finland to visit Nonni my very good friend and co-owner of Time Out. We met in blogland but are now very close friends and have met IRL a number of times. We had a fabulous time-thank you Nonni!

Time to remind you that there is still time to play at Time Out Challenges. We are CASEing Marjan's fabulous card.

This time I went with the flowers again but also the colours and the stitched die that I have popped up. 

Here is Marjan's card:

We have some fabulous cards here to inspire you. Take a look and then take some TIME OUT to play.

I will enter this into:

Uniko-Spring/Easter challenge.

Enjoy xx
