Challenge #19

Are you ready to take some TIME OUT to craft?

We have a fun challenge for you this week. It is a theme with a twist challenge and we have this for you:

Embossing with the optional twist of sparkle

Any kind of embossing can be used and if you feel like twisting with us just add some sparkle to your project. You don't have to twist but if you do you will have chance to win a stamp set from our fabulous 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 Lesley. Her blog Always Playing with Paper is full
 of the most wonderful cards. Grab a coffee, kick back, take some Time Out and visit Lesley.'s blog. I am sure you will be inspired! Don't forget to come back here and check out what Lesley and the DT have created for you this week.

The winner of this challenge chosen by our DT will have the opportunity to be our Guest Designer for a future challenge.

Challenge #18

Hi everyone!
Another fortnight flew by... Thank you everyone who entered our Inspired by Words Challenge. Remember to come back next Thursday to see if you were top at taking TIME OUT or got a honourable mention!

Christmas is coming, slowly but surely! Our new Home Sweet Home Photo Inspiration Challenge will hopefully give you some ideas for your Christmas card making... But you could be inspired to make all styles of cards, not necessarily holiday cards! Let's have a look at the inspiration photo, shall we?

Photo source: The Swenglish Home
There's a lot of great elements to be inspired by in the photo: the colour palette, materials, textures, candles, pinecones, big letters, a wreath... You name it! Our DT along with our talented guest designer Toni  from Frankie Helps Craft has been very inspired by the photo and I'm sure you'll love their samples. Please click on the names to visit everyone's personal blogs.
