TIME OUT #188 - Inside Your Home

For our TIME OUT challenge this week we are asking you to find some inspiration in your own home - very appropriate given how much time we have all been spending at home over the last year or so. 



Our sponsor for this is Uniko Stamps who are generously offering the winner of the challenge an in-stock stamp set of their choice :)





I took my inspiration from a chair in my home. This chair was left in the first house that I bought - I was just out of university and didn't have much money for furniture so I decided to salvage this chair by painting the wooden arms and legs and reupholstering it. It was originally a brown floral fabric but I converted it to a short pile zebra fur fabric (it was he 90's -what can I say?!) . Somehow this temporary piece of furniture has survived four house moves and it now resides in a guest room.

I think the inspiration is obvious with this Katzelcraft stamp.... I coloured with pencils and added some Crazy Things balloons and an MFT greeting...


.....and another MFT greeting on the inside




Thanks so much for stopping by!

TIME OUT #187 - Move and a Special Goodbye

 We have great new challenge at TIME OUT but before we get to that, there is a big change happening on the TIME OUT team that I wanted to share. Sandie (London Days) is stepping down from the team 😢- Sandie has created TIME OUT and for 7 years has put her heart and soul into this challenge to make it the wonderful place to create and share that it is today. Sandie has been a wonderful leader, friend and inspiration to me, personally and I will miss her tremendously. 


So onto the challenge... this week we are asking you to be inspired by the word MOVE. Our sponsor for this challenge is Topflight  Stamps who are generously offering the challenge winner a £25 to their store 😃






For my card, I used a mini Avery Elle stamp and die set -  I just love the image and sentiment!



Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the incredibly talented Milla from Mustesormi - her colouring is phenomenal and her cards are always so beautiful.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
