The Tide Will Turn

 

Time for a new challenge at Time Out. This time around it's an Inspired By Words Challenge where the words are: When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in". ~ Kristin Armstrong. Check out Tie Out Challenge #250  

This card speaks of me and my love for the sea and the calm, peace and companionship it brings. The quote brought to mind some panels I had made with Gina K's Ocean Minded stamp set. The heart is embossed with Hero Arts Sand EP and represents a drawing in the sand. The sentiment is so perfect for support and encouragement for someone who going through a difficult time. The embossed waves in the background added some wonderful texture. I just love it.

A Happy Halloween

I Have these wonderful prints on fabric from Crafty Secrets that I have had in my stash forever. I recently used one for a card for the current Time Out Challente (Vintage), and now I am thinking of ways to use them in time to get Halloween Cards out. This is something I say I am going to do every year, and usually don't.

I used Jaydee's sketch from The Paper Players #PP663 as my design inspiration.

Hopefully I will get more of these done this week and in the mail to my favorite goblins and Halloween lovers!

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out, and this time we are challenged to be: VINTAGE.  There are many, many ways you can go with this one. The majority of experts have agreed that items over 50 years old but less than 100 years old can be called "vintage". Old, but not that old. Like me! LOL! It can also mean the year or place in which wine, especially of high quality, was produced.

Go to Google Images and type "vintage" you will get a plethora of ideas.

We are generously sponsored by Doodlebugs. Challenge winner as chosen by our Design Team will receive a $25.00 store credit to spend at the Doodlebugs store. Our winner will also be invited to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We welcome Cynthia Olheiser of Stampin' In Alaska and winner of Time Out #246, as our Guest Designer. Check out her fabulous Vintage creation on the Time Out Challenge Blog.
