Time Out #225...Thankful

 

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  This is a theme challenge, and our theme is:

THANKFUL

I used a stamp set from our sponsor, Lawn Fawn called Simply Celebrate Critters, and created this row of bunnies looking over a brick wall.  They are all saying thank you in some form, and all the little sentiments fit perfectly into the speech bubbles.

I added a bit of grass in front of the brick wall to add some color and interest.

Where will this challenge take you?  We would love to see how you interpret the word 'thankful'.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer, Deepti Aggarwal, and the Time Out Design Team. Lawn Fawn 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.

Retro Rubber #193...Guest Designer...Happy Birthday

 

Today I am so happy to be playing along with one of my favorite challenges, Retro Rubber, as their Guest Designer.  I love this challenge because it reminds me to look through my stash for some older stamps I may have forgotten about.

Because I am guest designer, I decided to pick one of the oldest of my oldies....PTI Dot Spot.  This set is so old that it is in a CD case.  I'm thinking more than 10 years.  I pulled out out and was reminded all over again about why I love this stamp set so much.  I did a bit of inlaid die cutting, an old technique that I haven't used in quite a while.

Time Out #224...Cancer Awareness/Encouragement/Friendship

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  This time it is a theme challenge:

Cancer Awareness/Encouragement/Friendship

We challenge you to create an encouragement and/or friendship card! This is our cancer awareness challenge and we want to recognize all those who have struggled and fought through a cancer battle, and to pay homage to those whose journey has led them out of this world. 

 

We want to give a special shout out to our friend Shery at STAMPlorations. She has been fighting a cancer battle this year and she has been heavy on our hearts here at Time Out. Thank you Shery for all the years of support and creativity.  We stand with you as you walk through this journey.

Unfortunately, the CAS-ual Fridays online store has closed down. However, we still have a prize package from CAS-ual Fridays that will be sent to the winner of this challenge!

 

We want to take a moment and thank Michele, owner and designer of CAS-ual Fridays, for all of the creativity that she has brought to so many over the years. We also want to thank her for the strong support of Time Out. Your shop and journey has been an inspiration to us!

Now, on to my card:

I decided to focus on the Encouragement/Friendship portion of the challenge.  I pulled out the Cup Refills set from our sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays stamp to create this clean and simple card.   It is almost completely one layered, as the only thing I did to the card front was cut out and pop up the lid on the coffee cup.

Where will this challenge take you?  We would love to see how you are inspired by this challenge.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer, Elizabeth Stewart , and the Time Out Design Team.  CAS-ual Fridays 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.
