Challenge #289 Your Favorite Winged Thing

    Hello, friends of Time Out. Welcome back!  If you are a newcomer to Time Out Challenges, we extend a very warm welcome to you.  We're glad you are here.

We have a new challenge that opens today and runs through June 4.  It is one of our "Inspired by your favorite..." challenges and this time we have chosen:

Inspired by

Your favorite winged thing

Our wonderful sponsor is Lawn Fawn, generously offering a $25.00 Store Credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner as chosen by our Design Team. In addition to the prize, our winner will also receive an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Kathy Asper of My Asperations, and winner of Time Out #284 as Guest Designer. Her cards are wonderful both outside and inside. Treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. You are sure to be inspired.

And now, for a little bit about Kathy in her own words:

"Hello, my name is Kathy Asper. I’ve loved to draw, color, fussy-cut, and create since I could hold a pencil! I was introduced to rubber stamps in 1996… and they quickly became my favorite therapy! In 1999 a friend and I opened a small stamp and scrap store in South Dakota, and I soon learned that stamping people are my favorite kind of people! I’ve been blogging since 2017 and love how challenges like Time Out encourage me to try new techniques, themes, tools, and more. Plus, I am always inspired by the beautiful cards and other creations that the challenge DTs and other stampers post!"

This is Kathy's wonderful Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE. 

Here's a look at the inside of Kathy's card...

Since retiring at the end of 2023, I now get to play in my craft room as often as I like!  Playing along with challenges and being a member of design teams is one of the ways I find inspiration.  I just love being a part of this positive, supportive and creative community and am so happy that I got to participate with Time Out for this specific challenge.  Huge thanks to Time Out for giving me the opportunity to participate."

Challenge #287

   Hello, friends of Time Out. Welcome back! If you are a newcomer to Time Out Challenges, we extend a very warm welcome to you. We're glad you are here.

We have a new challenge that opens today and runs through May 7. It's a Photo Inspiration challenge with two stunningly dressed street artists in front of a booth with handmade cards at a fair in Luxembourg. 

The booth in the photo belonged to our DT member Kate so all the cards you see there are made by her... And her friend snapped this fun photo when the street artists where in front of Kate's booth. This year many of our photo challenges have a personal connection to our DT members and we are very excited about it!

There are plenty of elements in the photo you could be inspired by like the flowers, the masks or the costumes, that stunning jade green colour of the costumes... Or even the handmade cards or the booth! 

Very fun, right? We look forward seeing what you'll come up with!
