Challenge #67

Hello All,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Most people are aware of breast cancer, however, many forget to take the steps needed to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. If you are not sure how to do a self-exam then click here, and then tell your family and friends!

We are holding a special challenge for the next 2 weeks and this is:

Theme of Breast Cancer Awareness and/or Friendship.  

Optional Technique Twist:  embossing and/or use pink

This challenge is to remind you all to do this and help spread this important message. CAS-ual Fridays stamps are sponsoring us in helping to do this. Many of you know that on the 17th of each month CAS-ual Fridays run a blog hop in an effort to support Breast Cancer awareness all year around. To find out more about this and October's events at CAS-ual Fridays, check out this link- Calling All Sistahs

The winner of this challenge will get a $25 CAS-ual Friday gift voucher.
We will also do a random draw for all those who twist with us. The winner of this draw will get a special package from the CAS-ual Friday Calling All Sistahs collection-this stamp set was designed to promote breast cancer awareness.



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

We are so excited to have Conil join us for this challenge. She plays in nearly all our challenges and every card is outstanding. Her blog Which Craft? is full of so many creative projects-pop over and have a look.

Time to see what Conil and our DT have created to inspire you:

Challenge #66

Hi All

Are you ready for a new challenge? Ready to take some crafty TIME OUT?

We hope so as we have this fabulous Autumn photo to inspire you:

There is so much here that you could focus on-perhaps the colours, the grey brick wall-these are such a contrast, you could make a card that just shows us contrast? There are so many things that you could use, we don't need to tell you them all. We will look forward to seeing what you come up with.

This challenge is being sponsored by STAMPlorations and the winner will get a $10 gift voucher to spend in their store. We will also do 2 random draws from all the entries. One winner will get the new stamp set Trendy Leaves 2 and the other winner will get the stamp set Holiday Expressions-Thankful

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented and long term supporter of Time Out, Claire

Claire's blog Life on the Scrap Heap is full of inspiring cards. Claire has played along at Time Out since we started and we are so pleased to have her as our Guest Designer again-yes, she has won a few challenges here! Take a look around her blog and we guarantee you will pop back ready to craft full of ideas.

Time to see what Claire and our DT have made to inspire you to play along.

You have until 28th September 5pm GMT to join us.

Time to kick back and take that deserved TIME OUT and get inky.
