Time out #132...Reminder...Happy Anniversary

There is still time to play along with our current challenge at Time Out. Our challenge this time is a home sweet home challenge, and we have this wonderful photo to inspire you.

Here is a larger picture of just the inspiration image.

I took my inspiration from the butterfly image, the colors--navy with a touch of pink, and the idea of fabric on the couch and pillows. I used Altenew Painted Butterfiles and stamped a background of many butterflies, then used a needlepoint texture plate to add a fabric like texture. My sentiment on pink paper is a nod to the pink flowers in the photo.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Bobby, so please stop by her blog to see what she has created for this challenge. Altenew is our sponsor for this challenge. Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

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

Thanks for Visiting

CASology Week #242: Text

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology. This week, our cue word is text. I thought of sending a text and stamping some text, but ultimately decided to use an impression plate to create text texture on my card.

Now it's your turn. How does TEXT inspire you? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

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

Happy Birthday, Hello, and Happy Anniversary

TGIF--this week has felt like the longest week ever. I am very happy that the weekend is almost upon us. I have a quick post to share three cards.

I used a Mat Stack #1 die cut to mask off an area on the front of this one layer card, and then stamped a background using PTI Beautiful Brushstrokes. My sentiment is from Graceful Greetings. Love that feminine font.

I am entering this card at Seize the Birthday, where the toppings challenge is to make your own background.

I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #121 for inspiration on this next card and used those Altenew Painted Butterflies I still had out from these cards.

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.

My last card uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #184. I just flipped and rotated the sketch.

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.

CASology Week 144: Flight

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology. This week, our cue word is FLIGHT. I decided to break out my new Altenew Painted Butterflies set for the first time and played around with the different images in the set.

There are so many different ways you could go with this cue word. I am excited to see how you interpret it.

I am also linking this card up at CAS on Sunday where the theme is white and one other color.

Here is some bonus inspiration because I was still playing around with Painted Butterflies. I'm entering this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.

So, what do you think? Will you play along this week and make something inspired by the word FLIGHT? Please remember to keep your card Clean and Simple.

Head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.
