You're In My Heart

 


It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #289 opens today and runs through Wednesday, June 4th. This time it is an "Inspired By Challenge" with Your Favorite Winged Thing as our inspiration. Many living things and inanimate objects have wings. Some examples include birds, bats, insects and even some types of fish like flying fish.  Additionally, airplanes and other aircraft also have wings.  So use your imagination and come play with us!

We are joined by Kathy A as our wonderful Guest Designer. You can see her wonderful card on the Time Out Challenge Blog, and you can get all the details on Kathy's blog.



Our wonderful sponsor is Lawn Fawngenerously offering a $25.00 Store Credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner as chosen by our Design Team. In addition to the prize, our winner will also receive an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

I used a butterfly from a stamp set by Pinkfresh Studio that was created by Lea Lawson to benefit Layton’s Legacy, a card drive and fundraiser for NICU parents. This is a cause that is so very close to my heart, so I chose this winged thing for my card. I used a smooshed panel from my snippet box, die cut it with a Deckled Rectangle and overlayed the vellum and white embossed butterfly on top of it.  There are many great sentiments of sympathy in this set. It will be a perfect card for anyone who has experienced a loss of any kind or someone going through a difficult time.

To The Moon And Back


It's time for a new challenge at Time Out Challenge #288 opens today and runs through Wednesday, May 21st. This time it is a "Theme Challenge" in celebration of Star Wars Day on May 4th. Think the movie series, celestial, galaxy, sky, northern lights, etc.

 

We are generously sponsored by Top Flight Stamps with a $25.00 store credit as the prize for our challenge winner chosen by the Design Team. Thank you, Top Flight Stamps, for your continued support of Time Out. We appreciate you so much!

We are joined by Jaydee of Stampin! with Jaydee, and winner of Time Out #283 as Guest Designer. Jaydee is a very talented designer and a delightful person. Do visit her BLOG and leave her some love. You will surely be inspired by her work! Check out Jaydee's wonderful card on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

While pondering what I was going to create for this challenge, my mind went to galaxy, and while looking for some inspiration, I came across a video by Jennifer McGuire in which she uses Ranger Distress Resist Spray to create a couple of galaxy cards. Something somewhere along the line inspired me to buy the product, and I promptly put it in a cabinet in my craft space, and forgot about it. I was intrigued and decided to try it out, and this card happened. It's a hot mess, but I really like the way it turned out. I was a little nervous to hear that you have to be very careful not to get the spray anywhere you don't want it, and I can now see why. I took Jen's advice and sprayed it into a deep box... The whole process was fun was fun.
