Challenge #16: CASE Heather Telford With Your Own Twist!

Hi friends of TIME OUT!

Another fortnight flew by and it's time for a new challenge! Thank you everyone who entered challenge #15 and don't forget to check the winners post next Thursday.

One of my personal favorites in our challenge rota is the CASE With Your Own Twist Challenge and this time is no exception: We are very proud to have Heather Telford as the designer to be CASEd!

Before telling you more about Heather I want to make sure everyone is familiar with CASEing: CASE is short for "copy and share everything". We also ask you to add your own twist to your design. What do we mean by your own twist?? Have a look at Heather's card and see what inspires you about it and then add your twist...that is basically something a bit different. Perhaps change the colours, the layout, use flowers instead of leaves....the list goes on! We would love you to twist with us and let us know what that twist is!

So, Heather Telford, what a joy to CASE her card!

 Heather's blog Bits & Pieces  is filled with inspirational and artistic CAS cards that are often created with water colour techiques and sponging. I hope you'll all check out Heather's tutorials, she is very good at explaining how to achieve the results she does. Let's read Heather's greetings to TIME OUT!

Hi, my name is Heather Telford and I am an Australian living in Canada with my husband and three children. I am a member of the Penny Black design team and the One Layer Simplicity challenge team. I have enjoyed creating things for as long as I can remember. As a child I made dolls clothes, paper dolls, models, scrapbooks and definitely my own cards. I still sew, draw and paint but my main focus is currently on stamping and cardmaking. I am honoured to be providing a card for this week`s Time Out challenge. 

Now the moment we've been waiting for... Time to have a look at Heather's card!

What a beautiful card with autumn colours! Thank you for this fantastic inspiration, Heather! Head on over to her blog and she will explain how to achieve this look. Shall we see how our DT has CASEd Heather? Click on the DT names for reading how they were inspired and how they added their own twist to their cards. Our guest designer this time is Carol from Just Me: C, welcome Carol! I'm sure many of you know Carol, she is such a fun, supportive blogger who makes brilliant cards and is a regular player here at TIME OUT!

Challenge #15

Have you been taking TIME OUT to get crafty recently?

If not we are here to give you the perfect excuse to take some crafty time to yourself and get inky!

We have our 'theme challenge with a twist' for you and this week we want to see:

STAMPING with the optional twist of APPLES

Basically that means we want to see some kind of stamping on your project even if it is just the sentiment. Plus if you feel like twisting with us add an apple/apples.

If you do twist then you will be in for a chance of winning a stamp set from our wonderful sponsors Avocado Arts (chosen by random.org)

Hello from Avocado Arts!  We are so excited to be sponsoring TIME OUT challenges this year!  Avocado Arts offers high-quality, clear, photopolymer stamps and coordinating digital die cuts.  I fell in love with clear stamps because you can "SEE" what and where you're stamping.  My passion for crafting and creating inspired me to launch my own stamp company in May, 2011. Our stamp sets are clean and graphic with a touch of whimsy, style and flair.  We have new releases each month and our images are interchangeable. Each set has coordinating images and sentiments that are timeless and versatile. Also, as an added benefit, elements from each set are sized so they will work with past and future stamp sets.  Shop anytime on our website www.avocadoarts.com or join our club and receive our newest release at a discounted price. 

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very creative Loll. Her blog Stamping with Loll is full of inspiring projects, check it out here-you will love what you see!

And don't forget that the DT will vote, whether you twist or not, and if you win you could be joining us as Guest Designer very soon!

Now inspiration time:
