The Blessings Of Each Day

Spring has sprung at The Four Seasons Challenge. It is our first Spring themed challenge where this gorgeous mood board is there for your inspiration, but anything Spring goes. 

I took my inspiration from the shamrocks and went with a St. Paddy's Day creation. Take a look at the moodboard, and see what inspires you. The Design Team have created wonderful projects to inspire you as well. Check them out on the challenge blog HERE. Make yourself a cuppa, get crafty, and join us in the gallery. I can't wait to see what you create!

It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls where we are challenged to use stencils on our projects. Bobby is our host.  With St. Paddy's Day fast approaching, I went with a gnome and some shamrocks and a promise to myself to mail the cards I make to my Irish family members for this fun occasion! The Design Team and our wonderful Guest Designer, Denise Morgans, have made some wonderful cards to inspire your stencil loving hearts. Head on over the the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog and see what they have created to inspire you, then grab a cuppa and some stencils and join us!

Time Out #205 begins today, We are challenged to be in love. So much room for interpretation there.

The challenge runs from Thursday, January 13th to Wednesday, January 26th. We are generously sponsored by Alex Syberia Design.

Challenge winner as chosen by our Design Team will receive a $15.00 coupon to use in the Alex Syberia Design ETSY Store. In addition, our winner will be eligible for a guest designer spot in a future challenge.

Joining us for this challenge, we have the incredibly talented Milla of Mustesormi and winner of Time Out Challenge #202. Milla has mad coloring skills and her work is awesome! Treat yourself to a stroll through Milla's blog and you will be sure to get your creative juices flowing! 

I used Alex Syberia's Be My Valentine Digital Stamp to create my card. I colored it with Copics and fussy cut it. I popped it up with foam tape and adhered it to a die cut linen panel cut from The Greetery Nordic Frames die, which seemed to go so well with the gnomes. There is a little stenciling in the background done with SSS Falling Hearts Stencil. The sentiment is from SSS Gnome School Sentiment Strips. The panels were adhered to a SU Real Red card base.

Please hop on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that the Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!

I wanted to use this gnome and large die cut sentiment together. I could not find a way to like whatever I tried on an A2 sized card. I am not so comfortable with the slimline craze, but when I laid this out, and added the stenciled hearts with the delicious new Distress Oxide color - Kitsch Flamingo, it made me very happy. The pink background behind the die cut sentiment is pink vellum. The DO ink, SSS Gnome dies & sentiment dies are "Never Before Used Schtuff"!
