TIME OUT #225 - Thankful

We have a seasonal challenge for you this fortnight at TIME OUT - we are challenging you to be thankful.



And we are thankful to have such a wonderful sponsor for this challenge - Lawn Fawn is offering the challenge winner a $25 gift voucher to their store :)



I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do for this card so I turned to my collection of backgrounds and die cuts to see if I could put together something interesting - and this is the result:



The items salvaged from my ever-growing pile of half-made stuff were the panel (embossing paste using an older Memory Box stencil) and the leaf die cuts (using a SSS die and some card stock "painted" using Nuvo shimmer powder). I added an extra die cut from vellum, some pearls, and a layered Honey Bee die cut greeting to finish the card. Oh - and foam tape - lots of foam tape!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #224 - Cancer Awareness - Frienship - Encouragement

Our TIME OUT challenge this fortnight is our annual cancer awareness-friendship-encouragement challenge. 




Our sponsor for this challenge is CAS-ual Friday Stamps - they have been a wonderful sponsor of this challenge every year but, sadly, this will be the last year as they have made the difficult decision to close their shop this year.

I kept my card fairly simple for this challenge - I used an Altenew stamp/stencil/die combo for the floral - the pink is symbolic for the challenge. The mandala die cut is from Honey Bee Stamps and the greeting is from Simon Says Stamp. A few pink pearls for the finishing touch



Our guest designer for this challenge is Elizabeth from Paper Sweetness - she is a regular TIME OUT player and has guest designed with us several times as well. We are thrilled to have her join us again for this special challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
