Time Out #204...Adventure Awaits

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  We challenge you to make a card inspired the word:

NEW

New year and new beginnings...my oldest daughter moved to a new city to start a new job.  I know they are already finding new adventures.  And, this is what I imagine the sky might look like when the first snow flurries of the year arrive.

I created my blended background sky by sponging and blending several different colors of distress oxide inks.  A splattering of water and glimmer spray gave me the snowy look I was going for.  And, I added the die cut Washington DC skyline to personalize the scene to their new home.

Time Out #203...Have a Blast

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  We challenge you to make a card inspired by whatever inspires you.  I was inspired by my upcoming trip to Hawaii to use some Hero Arts stamps to make an active volcano.  I have yet to tackle Haleakala at sunrise, but hope to do so one of these days.

CASology Week #398...Above

 

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is ABOVE.

I live in an area where hot air balloons are very popular, and I often see them in the distance, flying above the trees and clouds.  I used these cute hot air balloons from Hero Arts, and a bit of masking to create my scene, where the sentiment is tucked into the space below the balloons.

Now it's your turn.  How does ABOVE inspire you?


As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

1. One main image
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)

I hope you play along this week.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from our design team.

Time Out #202...Fa-La-La!

 

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  We challenge you to make a card inspired by this photo.  I was inspired by this photo to make a winter holiday card, and even used the red and white color scheme as well as the writing on the pillow to inspire my sentiment.

I used one of my favorite images from our sponsor, Stamplorations, called Christmas Reindeer.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer, my friend Bobby,  and the Time Out Design Team.  Stamplorations is our sponsor for this challenge. Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.


This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.
