Pawsitively Fun!



Time Out Challenges #262 has just begun, and this time it is a photo challenge. This handmade bag in the photo is both our inspiration & our prize.

Here's an enlargement of the photo for viewing the marvelous detail within. Do note that you do not need to use a dog image to play along - you can, for example only be inspired by the colors, patterns or shapes you see in the photo, including other animals. We look forward seeing your creative takes!


We are welcome Cornelia Wenokor of Stempel-Spass and winner of Time Out #258 as our Guest Designer. Cornelia is such a talented card artist with a wicked sense of humor and a great eye for design and color. Please treat your self to a visit to her blog. You are in for a real treat and a good belly laugh!

This card morphed many times to get to the final product. I wanted to use Funky Fossil stamps and stencil to showcase these funky pups. In the end I made a collage of sorts framing them in this Pretty Pink Posh die cut. The twine is in homage to Julie Ebersole with her signature knots. Where is Julie these days? I found the perfect patterned paper in my stash to go with the colors with which I stamped and stenciled. I was quite pleased in the end, even though it took me forever to finish this one!

Please head over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see what Cornelia and the Design Team have created to inspire you. Think about the photo, and see how it inspires you. Then grab some supplies and start creating. I can't wait to see your project in the gallery.

Remember, we allow links to a total of 5 challenges including ours. We also need you to tell us in your post, how you were inspired by the quote. Check out the rules in "how to play" on the sidebar of the challenge blog. See you in the gallery!

Those dogs are so much fun, Stephanie, and the paw print was a perfect paper to put in the background. I love that plaid you used too. The extra time and work paid off with a truly wonderful card design.
