Challenge #292

        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 July 16. This time it is a Theme challenge: Travel.

Time Out Challenge #292

This one is wide open to interpretation - places to go, places you've been or dreamed of going, adventures to have, methods of travel, books about travel, songs about travel, traveling home... anything travel related.

Our wonderful sponsor, Angie Blom Digital Designs, is generously offering a $20.00 Store Credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner. Angie's designs are all fabulous, and there are some wonderful travel related designs too! We greatly appreciate Angie's sponsorship of this challenge and support of Time Out.

We are joined by Sherri Schmidt, winner of Time Out #287, as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Sherri posts her work on Flickr as Sherrisonline. Even if you are not a Flickr member, you can still view her gallery. Sherri's designs are fun and her style is eclectic. Do treat yourself to a stroll through her gallery for some great inspiration.

Here are a few words from Sherri with regard to her crafting journey:

"Hi! My name is Sherri, and I started making my own Christmas cards 25 years ago, as a cost-saving measure (can you believe it?) after my son was born. I didn’t get into making cards as a hobby until the pandemic, when I realized that cutting and pasting little pieces of paper was just so calming. And then I discovered the online crafting community and so many different techniques to spark my creativity. Thank you, Time Out, for the opportunity to contribute a tiny bit to the crafting community myself."

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

And now for some inspiration from our design team!

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 challenge.  Huge thanks to Time Out for giving me the opportunity to participate."

This is Jaydee's wonderful Challenge Card. She used 3 from the list of six: Repeat (repetition of the colors), Place (the beach) and Weather (the sun sentiment). Check out all the details HERE.
