opens today and runs through June 18th. It is a "Pick 2" challenge. With each of our "Pick 2" challenges, there are 6 different inspiration cues to choose from to create your project. Incorporate 2 of the items in your project and link up to our gallery! You may use more than 2, but you must use at least 2 and you must state in your post which 2 (or more) inspired your project.
We are sponsored by our own Design Team Member, Kate Lesh, who is generously offering Sizzix Thinlets Die Set 664379 Garden Shed by Sophie Guilar as the prize for our Challenge Winner as chosen by the Design Team.

Now for a bit about my card... Did you grow up with these in your kitchen? I surely did. There was the pink casserole dish in which my mother always made her most delicious mac and cheese. The primary color bowls in different shapes that bring her coleslaw and potato salad and so many other wonderful things to mind.
Concord & 9th recently released a stamp and die set called "Kitchen Classics" that pays homage to these wonderful vintage cookware pieces. The minute I saw them, I just had to have them. They are so fun and nostalgic, and they were my choice for this challenge. I picked Repeat and Ribbon. If I were to stretch it, I'd pick Place too, because of the sweet and happy place I went in my mind and heart with this card.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Jaydee and the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us. I can't wait to see your Pick 2 projects!

I'm also playing at:
All of the trim on the cookware and the sentiment are heat embossed. I love heat embossing because it makes the stamped images pop in a beautiful way. It's magical to see the images come alive as the embossing powder melts. This technique got me started with stamping MANY years ago!
