Too Glam To Give A Damn

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #237 challenges us to be FASHIONABLE. Think clothing, design, color trends - even food fashion. Let your imagination run free!

We are generously sponsored by AALL & Create.

Challenge Winner will receive a $20.00 store credit and an invitation to Guest Design with the Time Out Design Team for a future challenge.

We welcome Arlene Rose of Sunday Stamper Papercrafts and Winner of Time Out #234 as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Arlene is a very talented crafter with a style that is often CAS. She has awesome coloring skills. Please visit her blog for some great inspiration. She would welcome your comments on her creations!

I stepped waaaaaay out of my comfort zone on this one when I decided to go with a mixed media creation to showcase AALL & Create's Fashionable Miss Dee. She just cracks me up and was the perfect image for our challenge. I used powdered inks, stencils, Lunar Paste and white ink to create my gel print background. I die cut and foam mounted the background on 110lb cardstock. I stamped, colored and popped up Miss Dee and the sentiment, and my card was complete.

I rarely use stickers in my card making, but this New ton was the inspiration for the design of my card. As I thought about how to use it, I got the idea to mimic the background of the sticker sheet. I inked the SSS Falling Hearts stencil and some colored card stock to get that effect. To give the background some texture, I stamped the card base with VersaMark and heat embossed it using the Hero Arts Book Stacks Background Stamp and my card was complete.

Hello, Sunshine

 

I had to scream in at the last minute to post my lemon-y card for Just Us Girls #671 with this fabulous Citrus Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and CZ Designs Hello Sunshine Die. This mood board made me happy!

For Evangeline

 This card is for the sweetest 3 year old little girl I know. She needs everything to be pink, she loves to dress herself, put on lots of jewelry, is athletic as they come, and absolutely fearless! Happy Birthday, Evangeline! This MFT PI Birthday Girl image could not be more perfect for her. I CASE'd THIS card by Barbara Anders using all of the elements, just changed up the colors a bit... because it was PERFECT for this kid.

 It's time for a new challenge at Time Out! Time Out! Challenge #234 starts today and runs through March 29th. This time we are challenged to create a card inspired by the quote "It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade." ~ by Charles Dickens - Great Expectations. 

We are generously sponsored by Top Flight Stamps. Challenge winner will receive a $25 gift voucher to the Top Flight Store.

This time we welcome Greta Hess of GG Creations, and winner of Time Out #231, as our Guest Designer. Greta really captured the essence of our quote so beautifully. Do take a stroll through Greta's blog and treat yourself to some wonderful inspiration.

I found this quote to be a bit of a challenge, but settles on the 'wind blowing cold' and dug out my MFT PI Flurry Of Love set. This girl seemed to be a perfect fit to me! I decided to give her a snowy background and a paper pieced outfit. I love the way she turned out.
