Time Out #257 - It's Our 10th Birthday!

Yes, Time Out is celebrating its 10th birthday and we hope the gallery will be filled with a ton of birthday wishes.  And what's a birthday without presents?  The winner chosen by Design Team will receive a 25$ store credit to Lawn Fawn.  10 other lucky entries will be chosen at random for the rest of the prizes.  For a full list see the blog


I used Altenew's Delight Day for my flowers. I didn't realize when I bought the set that the stamp was all in one piece and designed to be used with their stamp wheel but I solved that problem by cutting the stamp apart. It works just fine that way as you can see.  The ink is from Altenew's Spring Bouquet.  Their Ornate Nesting die was cut from white, layered and mounted on SSS Slate cardstock.  The sentiment is from PTI.

The Design Team has some fabulous cards to inspire you.  Get making your cards but be sure to follow our rules if you want to be eligible for the prizes.  Only link to a total of five challenges including ours.

Gorgeous flowers, Bobby! I love how they pop with the black background and pretty label behind them! I often cut stamps apart to fit my uses. So far I've never been sorry that I did that.
