Festive Fir

 Challenge #303 at Time Out has just gone live and this fortnight we have another

Photo Inspiration Challenge

Our lovely team member Ishani shared this photo with us of a family celebration and we thought it might inspire you - here's a closer look!

Challenge 299 is being sponsored by Birch Press and they are very kindly offering our top pick as chosen by the design team a $20 store credit!

The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge and speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is Trina Pham of Phamtastic Designs - our winner from Challenge #298!  

You can see how Trina was inspired by our photo as well as my talented team mates over on the Time Out Blog!  I do hope you can take some Time Out and come play cards with us this fortnight!

There was so much inspiration in this photo it was hard to know where to start but eventually I decided on the left dress and made up a Christmas tree (Gummiapan Divided Fir) using a patterned paper that was as close to the colour of that first dress as I could find!  I draped a sentiment banner (inspired by the wrap) across the middle in green and added some green baubles and a star.

And of course by swapping out alternate segments of the fir with plain white I get a twofer!  

Then I thought I'd try the same with dress 2 and after an exhaustive hunt through Christmas papers, found this lovely paper and made up another two trees with some snippets of copper mirror card stock.

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following challenges

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - It's Die-cember so use those dies!
