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!
