Challenge #80

Hi There

It was great to see so many wonderful entries for our CASE challenge. We now are moving on to our 'Inspired By Words' challenge and are words are:

'When it rains look for rainbows, when its dark look for stars'

You can use any of these words to inspire you or the whole phrase.

I know there is plenty here that will get you creating-we all love rainbows! But there is so much more in this phrase that you could use.

We are being sponsored by the wonderful Uniko

The winner will get a £15 gift voucher to spend in their store.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Marilyn. Her blog is full of creative and fun cards-take a look here. You will love what you see.

Lets have a look at what Marliyn and the team have created:

Challenge #79 CASE

Hi friends of TIME OUT!

Our 3rd birthday party challenge has now ended and heavens what a party we had! Amazing amount of entries, all gorgeous, and so many of you gave the spotlight technique a go... We could not be more happier right now! Remember to come back next Wednesday to see if you are one of our 6 winners. Thank you everyone who played along and celebrated with us!

This time we have a CASE challenge for you. We are CASEing a card by fabulous Jenny from Crafting in the Country. Jenny's blog is filled with fantastic, detailed CAS cards  -do pay her a visit, you'll love what you see! Before checking out Jenny's card, let's read her greetings to TIME OUT:

Hi I'm Jenny and I'm a crafter from the UK. I've always loved to colour, draw and make things but my addiction to card-making started when I discovered stamps, inks and dies. I love a Clean and Simple style with lots of white space but I'm one of those crafters that has to sit on her hands when I finish a card to keep that space empty!!.. Lol.  I just want to say thank you to Sandie for inviting me to be CASEd for the Time Out challenge, I'm looking forward to seeing what inspires you in my card.... Happy Crafting :)

Here is Jenny's card:

Amazing, right? You could be inspired of various things: the layout, the colors, the theme, using dies, sponging... Many, many possibilities! 

As always our design team is here to boost your imagination and this time we had a lot of fun playing with stamp sets from Verve Stamps. Verve Stamps is the sponsor of this challenge giving away a stamp set of own choice to the winner! Thank you Verve Stamps for giving our DT fab stamp sets and offering one for our winner too, we are most grateful! You should also go and check the Verve Stamps blog where there's a special post there regarding this TIME OUT challenge. Little birdie told me Verve owner and designer Julee is doing some CASEing herself!

Now onto the DT cards. Our guest designer this time is Izzy from Izzyscrap. Izzy is a regular player here at TIME OUT and we are so delighted she is joining us as guest designer! Izzy's cards are always so artistic, yet CAS, and this time is no exception! Here's some card eye candy for you!
