Hello … bonjour … long time no see! This year has been a busy one outside of blogland and as a result I’ve not been here a great deal, though I have (mostly) stayed in touch with what you’ve all been creating while I haven’t been! This last couple of weeks, however, have been especially full … and that’s meant there’s been almost no opportunity to visit everyone, outside of my DT commitments. So, to those of you who haven’t seen or heard from me recently … thank you for your patience and understanding … normal service will be resumed shortly!
I’m here today because our new challenge at Time Out has just started … and this fortnight, we’re Inspired By Words … Dream Big, Be Grateful, Give Love, Laugh Lots. Here’s where I went with those words …

On a white pierced, scalloped card panel cut with a Winnie & Walter die, I stamped these lovely words and delicate single floral stem from Uniko’s You Are, Yes You stamp set.

I coloured the bloom with Zigs, covered it with lots of shimmer and added some sparkling gems to finish off.

Where will our words take your creativity? You can use any or all of them to inspire your card … we’d love it if you played along with us. We’re sponsored this time around by Uniko (thanks, Bev!) who are offering our winner, as voted for by the DT, an in-stock stamp set of their choice. As usual, our winner will also be invited to be our Guest Designer for a future challenge. The details are over at Time Out, along with heaps of lovely inspiration from our fabulous DT, which I know you won’t want to miss!
My card will be going into the gallery at …
CAS on Friday – Big Sentiment or Word
Happy Little Stampers Watercolour – Anything Goes Optional Botanical
The Flower Challenge – Clean and Simple
The Paper Players – Clean and Simple – Say It Loud
