We have a new challenge that opens today and runs through December 4th.

Tenia's designs are wonderful. She has a very clean style and a wonderful way of embellishing her designs very simply and effectively.

Here is a little bit about Tenia in her own words: 

Hello all my name is Tenia Nelson and I am a 43 year old jazz pianist, music teacher and paper crafter who lives in Denver, Colorado. I am married to a great guy named Tim, I am momma to my awesome son Thelonious(Theo) and I have a wonderful doggie "kid" Snowball. When I am not playing everywhere in town, teaching wild and crazy kids, or making cards, I play soccer with the hubby and just hang out with my friends!!

This is Tenia's fabulous challenge card. You can get all the details about it on her blog HERE.

Challenge #276 - Cozy

      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 for you starting today where we challenge you to be COZY. There are many ways to go with this one: a cozy room, nook, cottage, comfortable; a cozy relationship between 2 people; a padded cloth to keep a teapot warm; a snuggle, fireplace, blanket...  Where does your imagination take you when you think cozy? What makes you feel cozy? or how do you make someone or something cozy??

Please get cozy in your craft space and create something cozy for the gallery. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Challenge #276

Our wonderful sponsor, Newton's Nook is generously offering a $25 store credit to the challenge winner as chosen by our design team. Our winner will also be invited to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Kerry Parkinson of Kerry's Papercraft and winner of Time Out #271 as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Here is a little bit about Kerry's crafting journey in her own words:

"Hi, I’m Kerry Parkinson. I began my crafting journey when my daughters were young and I discovered scrapbooking, then from there progressed to stamping and card making, which I’ve enjoyed now for over 15 years. My style for most of that time would probably be called clean and layered, but in the past few years I’ve been experimenting more with clean and simple, shabby chic and mixed media."

This is Kerry's wonderful take on our "COZY" challenge. 

You can get all the details on Kerry's blog HERE.

And now for some inspiration from the design team!

"My love of all things inky has only grown stronger over the last 15 years - I really get quite grumpy if I haven’t had a bit of craft time for a few days! I’ve got a clean and simple style and enjoy colouring with Copics but I've branched out recently to include some mixed media which I’m really enjoying."
