Happy 10th Birthday, Time Out!

 

Time Out #257 opens today and we are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of this wonderful challenge! 
Woo Hoo!!! You can read all the details about where we started, how we grew, and where we are now on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

We have 10 wonderful sponsors with 11 prizes to be had by our Challenge Winner as chosen by the Design Team, and 11 additional winners chosen at random.

We are graced by the presence of Sandie Munro, Co-Founder of Time Out Challenges, as our Guest Designer. Please join us in welcoming Sandie back to the team for this challenge to celebrate our birthday! (Can you hear the round of applause??)


My birthday card features a stencil by one of our sponsors, Picket Fence Studios. It has been inked with 5 shades of purple Distress Oxide Inks. I laid them down in ombre style from lightest to darkest with the intention of having a portrait layout, but the large sentiment die cut did not fit that orientation, so I turned it. The purples pay homage to our dear Sandie, as purple is one of her favorite colors and always brings her to mind when I see it.
I added some bling, which is not my special power. I spend way more time placing the bling, moving the bling, removing the bling, putting it back and repeating that process many times, than I do making the card itself! I could not get my camera to to it justice, but this bling changes color from silver to blue to purple depending on the light. Bling is another signature of Sandie's style, so it had to be added.

Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog, get all the wonderful details of this special challenge, and see what Sandie and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Please join us in our celebration. We love our players and the more, the merrier!

The challenge runs through February 28th. Put on your party hat and come join us!!! Remember that in order to qualify for the win, you may link your project up to a total of five challenge, including ours. Check the details of 'how to play" on our sidebar. Happy crafting!

Wish I Was There With You




The Color Hues #69 colors immediately brought these Waffle Flower (Orchid dies & stencils) NBUS supplies to mind, so I pulled them out and got to work. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Tidings of Comfort & Joy


Over the weekend, I made many card fronts with PinkFresh Studio's Holiday Botanical Background Layered Stencils in traditional Christmas colors. When I saw the badge for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Color Challenge, I was inspired to use all blues and see how I liked it. Well, I loved it. I used Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Uncharted Mariner and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Inks. I decided to use Waffle Flower's Oversized Joy stamp and die set for my sentiment using SU Brocade Blue card stock for the shadow, and a blue-hued glitter paper from Memory Box's Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad. I love the way it turned out.

Friends Are The Family That We Choose

 



I'm working on some Thanksgiving cards today. Thanksgiving is by far, my favorite holiday. I wanted to use my NBUS SSS Eucalyptus Dies, and I also wanted to play at Color Throwdown #718. I am screaming in on the last day, but I love the colors and they work for my Thanksgiving theme today. While looking for some inspiration, I ran across a card in THIS post (the first card)  and I decided to CASE it. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps - Reverse Confetti Autumn Sentiments 
Paper - SU Riding Hood Red; More Mustard and Tangerine Tango Card Stock; PTI Soft Stone Card Stock; Gina K. Pure Ivory Pure Luxury heavy weight card Stock. 
Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; PTI Soft Stone
Other - SSS Eucalyptus Leaves Die; Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Die; SSS Floating Leaves Stencil; Twine, WOW Clear Gloss EP, Fun foam,
