Time Out #228...Winter/Holiday Season

On a personal note, this will be my last post as a member of the Design Team at Time Out.  I have been on the team since 2015--I started on Challenge #58, and am ending on Challenge #228.  I cannot believe it has been 8 years.  I would like to say a big thank you to Sandie and Nonni for bringing me on to the team all those years ago.  I am grateful to my teammates at Time Out, our sponsors, as well as all the talented card makers that have played with us over the years.  You are all a constant source of inspiration.  I'll see you all around blogland (and perhaps even Instagram), and hope to become a regular participant here at Time Out, my favorite challenge.

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  This time it is a theme challenge, and our theme is:

Winter/Holiday Season

I used this very fun Main Street Christmas stamp set from our sponsor, Newton's Nook.  

Where will this challenge take you?  We would love to see you make a card inspired by our theme.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer, Sue Symens and the Time Out Design Team.  Newton's Nook is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.

Time Out #227...Running Stitch Design

 

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  This may be my most favorite challenge of the year because take a look at our inspiration!  This adorable bag is both our inspiration and our prize, and it is hand made by our own Time Out DT member, Kim Heggins.  Check out Kim's Etsy Shop, RunningStitchDesign.  It is full of beautiful, hand made gift items.

The inspiration for my card came from those adorable dogs in their fall sweaters.  It doesn't get any cuter than dogs in sweaters.  Take a look at my dog in his sweater.

Where will this challenge take you?  We would love to see how you are inspired by Kim's adorable prize.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer and the Time Out Design Team.  RunningStitchDesign is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.


This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.

Time Out #226...A Good Head

 

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.   We have a quote to inspire you today:

"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination." by Nelson Mandela

I was inspired by the word 'heart' in our quote, and decided to make an encouragement card.  I just love this sentiment, and find it is so very wise.  I used stamps and a stencil from our sponsor, Stamplorations, called All Your Heart and Old Rose Prints.

After doing my stenciling and then stamping, I decided my card needed a bit more interest.  I die cut a square from the center of the front panel, layered it up, and then inlaid it back into the card front.

Where will this challenge take you?  We would love to see how you are inspired by Nelson Mandela's inspiring words.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer, and the Time Out Design Team.  Stamplorations is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.


This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.
