It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. This time it is an Inspired By Words challenge, which means that we interpret the words of a quote in our projects. The quote is:
"It's always Summer Somewhere"
You can chose one or some words from the quote, or the whole quote as your inspiration. For example, the word "always" can be used in a love themed card. Whatever you do, create something inspired by these specific words. If it is not obvious, pease describe how you were inspired in your post. Most of all, have fun!
We are once again sponsored by Varada Sharma with a generous $25.00 store credit for our winner who will also get an invitation to Guest Design with us for a future challenge.
Our Guest Designer is Betty Keefe of created by bjk, Honorable Mention Recipient of Time Out #265. Please visit her blog, give her a warm welcome and leave her some love.
In creating my card, my mind went right to Summer vacation. My card is a CASE, well almost a copy really, of THIS card created by Michele Ferguson. When I saw it on her BLOG, I fell in love with it and HAD to have all of the supplies. This happens most often when I see Michele's work. She's dangerous that way! So I immediately went on a search for the supplies it turned out that the Harvest Home stamp set and the Destination Summer Die set was already retired and I can't find them anywhere. I really needed/(wanted) all four. THEN, I had the great joy of visiting with Michele in June. So when I was there (pinch me) I had to make the same little scene on a leaf which was so much fun. I brought it home for later use, and here it is. I also made the July 4th one, so it will appear at some later date - maybe next July, or, perhaps, this November. It depends... Anyway, I love it, and it was the perfect thing for this challenge at Time Out!
