Challenge 206 - friend quote

    Welcome back for another challenge! 

We are creating cards inspired by this quote:

“A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.”
--Unknown
 

 You can be inspired by any part of the quote - a friend, flowers, gardens, whatever speaks to you!

This time we welcome Nancy Leppek of Scrapper at Heart and winner of Time Out Challenge #203 as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Nancy is a super talented paper crafter who has an eclectic style and loves to use die cuts in her art.

Here is a bit about our guest in her own words:

 "I have been making scrapbooks since I was very young, but started making cards and blogging in 2008 and love it even more!  My hubby and I both are retired from the school system and now are on a permanent summer vacation in the sunshine state.  I don’t think I have a particular style when it comes to card making, but I do love making my own stencils and backgrounds, and very often they are in the shape of a heart.  The online friendships that have formed over the past 13 years is really what I treasure the most about this hobby! Thanks for having me, Time Out Team!"


Here is some inspiration from our team:

Here is a bit about our guest in her own words:

"Hi all! My name is Milla and I'm from Finland. I am thrilled to be guest designing for TIME OUT Challenges! I have been making cards for some years now and tend to lean towards the clean and simple style. I love colouring with watercolours and Copic markers and my favourite stamps are floral ones, although I do like cute critter stamps as well. I am fortunate to be a member of the Design Teams at AAA Birthday and Penny Black Saturday Challenge. I also contribute cards to Penny Black Inc."
