Warm as Toast

Time Out Challenge #281 has just gone live and it's one of our new challenges for 2025 - a Pick 2 Challenge!  


There will be 6 Pick 2 Challenges thoughout the year and for each of these, there will be 6 words for you to choose from.  We would like you to pick 2 of these words to inspire your creation but you can pick more or even all 6 if you feel like a challenge!

The Words for this challenge are

Stitch, Layer, Heart, Food, Warm and Love!

This challenge is generously being sponsored by Newton's Nook and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a $25 credit to the store!  The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!



Speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is Marcia Hill!  Be sure to check out Marcia's lovely interpretation of our quote and of course my talented team mates over on the Time Out Blog!

For my card today I've used 
a Stitched Frame;
some Layered die cut images (Greetery Hearts at Home Toaster and WMS Coffee Set matching dies);
loads of Hearts;
 some Warm toast (Food);
and a whole lot of Love!  

So I managed all 6 but as I said, it's only necessary to Pick 2!

do hope you enjoy our new challenge and I do hope you can take Time Out and join us for some fun!  And please, if it isn't obvious let us know how these words inspired your creation!  And please remember we only allow a total of 5 challenges - ours plus 4 others!

A kind fellow crafter shared the tin wall plaque image many years ago - it's only taken me 7 years to get around to using it!  Sorry I can't remember who it was but if you're reading this thank you!  I used MS Word to size it to fit my smallest plain square die (3cm), added glossy accents and mounted it with foam tape.



I'd like to enter the following fabulous challenges

Snippets Challenge #498 - Snippets used for everything except melamine counter top, panel and base;


Thank God It's Friday Challenge #509 - had some wonderful inspiration



NBUS Challenge #70 - NBUS Greetery Hearts at Home Toaster;

Die Cut Divas January Challenge - use something new (new Toaster die set from Greetery);

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you go away a little inspired!  Your visits and comments are always a joy and always appreciated!  And if you leave a comment, I’ll know you were here and should be able to find you!
