Challenge #28

Are you ready to take some TIME OUT with us and craft?

The challenge we have for you is:

CASE with your own twist

CASE means you take inspiration from another crafter's card and add your own twist to it.

For this challenge we have the super talented and creative Kim joining us. I am sure most of you know Kim but if you don't, grab a coffee and take a browse around her blog Art Keeps Me Sane-you will come away inspired to craft.

 

Now lets meet Kim:

 

 

 

Hi there!  My name is Kim Makortoff and I live in New Brunswick, Canada with my husband and son.  I'm a SAHM at the moment and spending time in my craft room is my way of getting away from it all.  :-)  That's how the name of my blog, Art Keeps Me Sane, came about.  Arts and crafts have always been my go-to method of relaxing.  If left to my own devices I'd probably go into my craft room and never come out!  I lived and breathed art for four wonderful years getting my Fine Arts degree where I specialised in painting. About 15 years ago, I was sucked into the card making world and have never looked backed.  I've been lucky and honoured to win some great challenges and be published in a paper crafting magazine.  I'm so happy to have been invited to be the Guest Designer that the Time Out team CASEs for this challenge.  Thanks ladies!

Here is the card Kim made for us using stamps from our fabulous sponsor this week Clearly Besotted Stamps

What a fabulous card to inspire us!

As it is Easter we decided we would like some goodies for our winner and Clearly Besotted Stamps are sponsoring us. You could win a £20 gift voucher to spend in their store.



We are joined this week by the inspiring crafter Claire.

 

Take a look at her blog Life on the Scrap Heap. Her creativity is boundless and we are so pleased she has joined for this challenge.

Lets see what Claire and the Design team have created to inspire you:

Challenge #27

Are you ready to take some TIME OUT of your busy life and craft along with us?

I hope so because we have a new Theme challenge for you today.

Our theme is:

Clean and Simple

 with the optional twist of:

Black and White plus a Splash of One Colour. 

'Clean and Simple' (CAS) means that you need to create a project with clean lines and lots of 'white' space. White space doesn't have to be 'white' it can be yellow, pink or any colour as long as there is lots of 'space'. Layers and embellishments should be kept minimal.

We are excited that our sponsors this week are CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

If you use our twist of Black and White plus a splash of colour we will do a random draw and the winner will get a $20 gift voucher to spend in the CAS-ual Friday stamp store here. Take a look around and you will be wanting to fill up that shopping basket very quickly!

Our Guest Designer this week is the very creative Susanne.

I am sure many of you know Susanne's blog Keep in Touch! and if not take a look around and you will come away full of ideas and ready to craft!

Now lets see what Susanne and our DT have made to inspire you:
