Time Out Challenge #11

It is Friday Eve and that means it is time for a new challenge here at TIME OUT Challenges. This is our very special week as it is our Theme challenge. Every time this challenge comes around we have a little twist added to our challenge and if you take us up on this twist then you are in for a chance of winning a prize from our super sponsor-we randomly select this so everybody could be a winner!

Our challenges is:

CELEBRATIONS with the optional twist of BUTTERFLIES

Any kind of celebration you want. And if you twist along by adding one or more butterflies you could win a prize from our sponsor. Who is our sponsor????

We are very excited that STAMPlorations are our sponsors. And our very own DT member Shery not only owns this company but is the designer!

STAMPlorations

About STAMPlorations:

David and I (Shery) are a husband-and-wife team and we own and manage
STAMPlorations™ from our home office in Central California. All of our
stamps are proudly made in the USA. Our clear stamps are made from the
finest, non-yellowing photopolymer resin. I'm an avid paper crafter
and I love graphic design, so in June 2013, my husband and I launched
our stamp company featuring my designs and illustrations. Through our
stamp line, we hope to encourage crafters of all ages and experience
levels to "Stamp with all your ART!". Our regular stamp release is
every other month, but in June 2014, we began releasing one large (5"
by 7") stamp set in between our official release months. Please stop
by our shop at http://stamplorations.com/shop/ to see our current
stamps.
*****

And Shery is offering the following prizes:

Prizes:

* 1 stamp set for the entry that has the twist (butterflies)
* 1 stamp set for the entry that has a STAMPlorations stamp (with or
without the twist)

Winners choose the stamp set they want to receive. (They can choose
from the Vignette, Subway Art Builders, Patchwork Frenzy, Sentiment
Builders, and Sketched sets.)

So this week we have 2 prizes, both will be randomly selected. I say this is enough reason to CELEBRATE!!

This week our Guest Designer is again Sarah of Funky Fossil Designs. This is Sarah's second time as our Guest Designer as she has now won 2 of our challenges. Her creativity is astounding and if you are not already aware of her blog I would go and check it out! 

Here is Sarah's cards plus a wonderful display of cards from our super Design Team:
