We are joined by Kathy Schweinfurth of Stamps at Play, and winner of Time Out #290 as Guest Designer. Kathy is such a talented card maker. Her designs are wonderful, colorful and she really rocks her backgrounds. Do take a stroll through her blog for lots of inspiration!

Here is a little bit about Kathy's crafting journey in her own words: 

"I've been card making for over 25 years.  While I've been crafting since a child, card making is by far my passion!  Over the years, I've been blessed to be on several design teams which has been such an honor.  There's nothing more relaxing to me than spending time in my craft room creating.   Thanks so much to Time Out Challenges for having me as their Guest Designer!  I hope you'll play along with us!"

and now for Kathy's fabulous card.

Winners #293 - Inspired By Your Favorite Song

 Hello friends of Time Out.

Welcome back, and we extend a very warm welcome to newcomers to Time Out Challenges!

We are here to announce the winners of Challenge #293 where were challenged to be inspired by our favorite song. In reality, most people don't have one favorite song! There were many great cards in lots of different categories of song. It was especially wonderful to read the posts of those who told the story of why they made the choice of the song that their project was inspired by. Thanks so much to everyone who joined in the fun with your creative projects! 

Our wonderful sponsor, lawn fawn, has offered a prize of a $25.00 store credit to our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

Huge thanks to lawn fawn for their continued, generous support of Time Out. 

And now, it is time to introduce our Challenge Winner and Honorable Mentions...

Congratulations on your win, Jaydee! We absolutely loved your daring dancin' figgy pudding.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful musical musings and for describing how you chose the song that inspired your creation. Please grab your Winner's Badge from the tab beneath our Blog Header and and display it proudly on your blog and/or other social media.
