Challenge #195

 Hello all friends of Time Out!

We are back with another fun challenge for you and today it's one of our popular theme challenges: we want to encourage you to use a colored card base or colored card front. For the next fortnight it's time to abandon your basic white card and play with something more colorful! :) 

As always our theme has an optional twist and this time it's 'add embellishments'. If you decide to use the twist you could win a prize from our fabulous sponsor Newton's Nook: they are offering a $25 gift voucher to one of our "twisters", chosen randomly. The overall winner of the challenge, chosen by our DT, will be called to guest design in a future challenge. 

Our guest designer for this challenge is Toni Maddox of Frankie Helps Craft. Toni is a wonderful paper crafter with an eclectic style and a great eye for color and design. Toni was the winner of Tme Out Challenge #192.

Here are a few words from Toni:

"My name is Toni and I live in the Pacific Northwest just a few miles north of Seattle where I work at the University of Washington supporting infectious disease research. I enjoy spending time with family (including my cats), reading, gardening, and, of course, paper crafting."

This is Toni's wonderful make for our challenge, she used beautiful card stock called 'icy blue':
