Time Out Challenge #49

Are you ready to take some TIME OUT and join in our new challenge?

It is time for our 'Inspired by Words' Challenge and our words are:

'Love is the flower you've got to let grow'

(This is a lyric from the John Lennon song 'Mind Games')

For this challenge you can create a project that is inspired by just one or more words from this phrase. You can also create using the whole phrase for your inspiration. Perhaps you will want to go with 'Love' as Valentines approaches but 'flower' or 'grow' might inspire you. Does the whole phrase mean something to you?

Our sponsor for this challenge is Clealry Besotted Stamps

Stamping & Sharing

There have amazing stamps and now in the middle of a very exciting release-check out the release on their blog here. The winner of this challenge will get a £15 voucher to spend in their store.

Whatever you choose we are looking forward to seeing how you are inspired.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Valentyna.

Valentyna's blog Flourishtina is full of creative and inspiring projects. Take a look and you will love what you see. We are so excited to have her join us for this challenge.

Lets see what Valenytna and the DT have created to inspire you:

Challenge #48: CASE With Your Own Twist

Hi all friends of TIME OUT!

We have a new challenge for you again and this time it's one of our "CASE With Your Own Twist"-challenges. The next fortnight we are CASEing a wonderful card artist: Marika from Me and Minime Crafting. Before looking at her (amazing!) card, let's read her greetings to TIME OUT:

Hi,

My name is Marika and I blog at Me and Minime Crafting. I started paper crafting about a year and half ago when I enrolled myself into one of the online card classes. I really loved playing with paper but more importantly I started my love affair with colouring. Since then I’ve enjoyed and relaxed while colouring with different colouring mediums from watercolours to copic markers and have loved every minute of it. I felt very honoured when Sandie contacted me and asked if I would like to be CASEd in this challenge. Of course, and I'm really really excited to see how you were inspired by my card. Happy paper crafting!

And here is Marika's card:

What a beauty, right! You could be inspired of Marika's layout, the flowers, sponging, the colors she used... Many possibilities here! Let's look at some DT samples to get more fun ideas for CASEing. All DT members have added some Own Twists too and so can you but the most important thing is to just to be inspired and have fun!

Joyce

I hope you love the DT samples as much as we do! :) Now it's your turn to take TIME OUT and craft. Please use the link up-tool below for adding your projects, we'd love to see what you'll create! This challenge runs until 5 pm GMT 3rd of February. Happy crafting! :)
