Hello, dear friends of Time Out!
We are back with another fun challenge for you and for the next fortnight it's a Theme Challenge where we are challenged to be "sportive". In case that is a new word for you, we've inserted a definition beneath the challenge badge below. When you read it, you will see how broadly this word can be interpreted from zeroing in on a particular sport of any kind, to something lively and full of fun! Maybe even a super fun technique that makes you feel playful! We can't wait to see what aspect of "sportive" inspires you the most! Please remember to tell us in your post, how you were inspired by our challenge.
spor·tive1
/ˈspôrdiv/
adjective
- 1.playful; lighthearted."Sir John was in sportive mood"
- 2.relating to, interested in, or good at sport."Britain's architectural and sportive heritage"
We are generously sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs with a $25 Store Credit for the winner, and an offer to Guest Design with The Time Out Design Team for a future challenge.
We extend a warm welcome to Carol McFarland of Saw it. Had to Make It. as our Guest Designer. Carol is a super talented crafter with a clean, crisp colorful style. Treat yourself to a stroll through her blog for some awesome inspiration! You will be so glad you did!
We asked Carol to tell us about her crafting journey, and here is what she had to say:
"I started stamping eons ago with “Excellent” and “Good Work” stamps when I began my teaching career. Soon after that, a friend at school taught me how to heat emboss over a toaster (LOL - pre-heat gun era) and how to mask images. I'm currently a fan of ink blending/watercoloring on white cardstock before die cutting because I really love the look over plain cardstock. I love to figure out how a card or 3D item I see is made and have to give it a try, whether it is a different fold or has moving parts. Recently I realized that my go-to card style has become predominantly die cuts on cards with a stamped sentiment rather than mostly stamping. Doing paper crafts in my office/craft room while listening to music is a true creative escape. I also like to enter challenges to stretch my skills and stash. The friends I have made over the years via this hobby is the best part of it all!"
THIS is Carol's fabulous design for our challenge:
And now for some marvelous inspiration from our design team!
