Sparkly Peaceful Christmas

 


It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. In this Pick Two Challenge, we are looking for projects that incorporate at least 2 of the 6 of the challenge word prompts: Movie, Emboss, Nature, Corner, White and Sparkle. You may use more than 2 of the prompts in your project, but you must use at least 2, and you must mention which prompts you used in your post.

We are sponsored by Poppystamps with a generous prize of a $20.00 Store Credit. We thank Poppystamps for their continued generosity and support for Time Out Challenges. In addition to the prize, our Challenge Winner will receive an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.
We are joined by Margreet Burger of Margreet's scrapcards, and winner of Time Out #297 as Guest Designer. You can check out Margreet's gorgeous card on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

As for my card, I had this gorgeous embossed panel on my desk just waiting for some love. I swiped it with VersaMark then sprinkled it with sparkle embossing powder. I cut the word from royal blue mirror card stock and stacked it on 3 white die cuts to give it dimension, then glued it to the embossed panel.  I glued the embossed panel on to a white card base and my card was complete. Try as I might, I could neither capture the wonderful sparkle on the trees nor the blue color of the mirror card in my photo. It really is gorgeous IRL.

Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Margreet and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Come play with us! We would be so happy to see your project in our gallery. Please be sure to mention the prompts you used in your design in your post. I can't wait to see what you create!

Bear Ware Thanksgiving


It's tie for a new challenge at Time Out. For Challenge #301, we are looking for projects that are in celebration of your favorite holiday to celebrate. That can be ANY holiday that you celebrate ANY time throughout the year. 


Angie Blom Digital Designs is our Sponsor generously offering our Challenge Winner a  $20 store credit as a prize. Our Challenge Winner will be invited to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.
We are joined by Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts as our Guest Designer. Stef is a very talented paper crafter and a frequent player here at Time Out. You can view Stef's project on The Time Out Challenge Blog where you can also link to her Guest Designer post on her Blog.

When it comes to my favorite holiday to celebrate, there is no question which it is. Mine is Thanksgiving, hands down. I love that it is a day to gather, to think about life's blessings, to enjoy family and friends and share good food. I simply love it.

For my card, I dug out my Essentials By Ellen All Inside and Bear Ware 4 stamps and dies and made a little Thanksgiving scene with them. I use a stencil to create a little inked rectangle in which to place my die cuts on the embossed panel. Looking at it now, I wish I had used a darker color for that, but you live and learn. Right?

What is your favorite holiday to celebrate? Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Stef and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Come play with us! We would be so happy to see your project in our gallery. Please be sure to mention your holiday in your post. We'd also love to hear why you chose that one in particular. I can't wait to see what you create!
