I Believe I'll Go Fishing

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. This time, we have an inspiration photo to spark our imagination and creativity. Scroll down below the challenge badge to see an enlargement of the Inspiration Photo to see all the detail. It's a camping scene, but there are so many details that you pull from the photo for your creation as well. There's a banjo and drum, canoe, do you see that wonderful striped rug? There are green hills, a lake, leaves of gold, Autumn colors... so much from which to choose.

We are generously sponsored by Lawn Fawn.

Challenge winner as chosen by the Time Out Design Team will receive a $25.00 gift voucher from Lawn Fawn and an invitation to Guest Design with us for a future challenge.

We welcome Trina Pham of Phamtastic Design as our Guest Designer. Trina is an incredibly talented  paper crafting artist. Her coloring is swoon-worthy and her designs are so inspiring. Please take a stroll through her blog and take in the sights!

I was stumped on this one as I was trying to find something camping themed in my stash and I had nothing. Sometimes though, I take things too literally with inspiration photos. There is so much to be had in this scene like musical instruments - the banjo and drum, that wonderful striped rug and its colors, the fall colors, the canoe, lake, hills...

I found this digital stamp by Dina Kowal on Etsy that looked perfect for my project, but I am not adept at layering digis, and I was dubious. I decided to challenge myself to learn how to do this. After many attempts, I was successful - even without my 20-something sons around. I layered, added color with DO inks, added a tree line and clouds with stencils from A Colorful Life Designs, and I was good to go. Kinda makes me want to go fishin'.

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

Addicted To CAS Challenge #137 is up and running with code word: SEA - a subject that is very dear to my heart! I am Host for this challenge.

To create my card, I die cut a panel of water color paper that I had previously smooshed with Distress Oxide Inks with the Ocean Swell Die from Memory Box. I loosely water colored the die cut with with Jane Devenport Markers. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Sail Away set, stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
