TIME OUT #186 - Pets

As a happy fur-mama to 2 cats and 2 dogs, I am delighted that this fortnight's TIME OUT challenge is all about pets :)

Our sponsor for this challenge is Newton's Nook Designs - they have the most brilliant selection of "pets" stamps - many featuring their adorable mascot kitty, Netwon. They are offering the winner a $25 gift voucher to their store:)

My card was made specifically for a friend of mine, and it features his dog, Duke, a black lab mix who can't get enough of chasing bright orange Chuck-it balls! I love this greeting from Simon Says Stamp! The dog is from Katzelkraft, and the ball is from the Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs set - I love how these two sets work so well together.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #185 - Photo Inspiration

Our TIME OUT challenge this fortnight has me yearning for beachy sunny days - check out the photo inspiration:

Our sponsor for this challenge is Kitchen Sink Stamps - they are generously offering the challenge winner a $25 gift voucher to their store :)

I kept my design fairly simple - I used a 3 part layering die to create the "flowers" and I used some stitched sentiment strips behind them to add some texture and mimic the deck boards from the photo. I finally added the sentiment in the teal colour from the chairs. 

Our guest designer for this challenge is Claire from Life on the Scrap Heap - her designs are always so fun and perfectly executed - we are so happy that she is joining us again as a GD :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
