Time Out Challenge #132 is up and running. This time it's a Home Sweet Home Challenge with the picture on the badge above as the inspiration. Our challenge is sponsored by Altenew. A random winner will be chosen to receive a $20.00 gift voucher to the Altenew Store. Awesome!

Our wonderful Guest Designer is Bobby of Bits and Pieces Designs. Bobby's work is absolutely wonderful.  Please treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. You will surely be delighted!

When I looked at the photo, I zeroed in on the two butterfly prints and decided to mimic one of them using Pen Pattern Butterflies Cling Stamp Set by Stampendous. I chose a  sentiment with a friendship theme (Altenew Best Buds set), and I began to think about this butterfly symbolizing me, and the missing one symbolizing the recipient of this card. That is a little out there, but it is what I was thinking. Then I thought that maybe it just looks like a butterfly gone wrong, but I did put a lot of thought into the significance of this creation. LOL.  

Please head over to the Time Out Challenges Blog to see what Bobby and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Play with us to share your creation, and to have a chance to win a prize from Altenew. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Claire (Winner of Challenge #153 - Grid)

Both of these crafters are incredibly talented

St. Paddy's Day is tomorrow, so I couldn't resist making a card to celebrate it. I am not Irish, but I do love this celebration of family and stories and music and food. I went with Irish Blessings stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink to create my card. The card base is Stampin' Up Garden Green cardstock.  The scalloped panel is made with Papertrey Ink Fresh Snow Linen cardstock, die cut with Lawn Fawn Scalloped Stackable Rectangles. The shamrock is cut from a snippet of water colored cardstock. The circles are popped up with foam tape, and the sentiment is embossed with gold EP from Hero Arts.

I hope your day is as rich as gold and as colorful as a rainbow.

Our Guest Designer is Michele Ferguson. Michele is an incredibly talented card artist who has a wit as keen as her crafting skills. Be sure to treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. Get ready to be inspired and to experience belly laughs.

As I searched my stash for fluffiness, this image from Unity Stamps was the one I loved best. I masked the lambs, and blended some Distress Oxide inks over the mask before removing it. I used Copics to add some color to the adorable creatures, stamped the tiny hearts, added the sentiment, and my card was done.
