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."

 This is Claire's sweet challenge card. You can check out all the details on her blog HERE.

Our current, Photo inspiration Challenge is still running for about one week. If you haven't played along yet, this is your reminder to Take Time Out and Craft... And join us HERE! 

Challenge #274 - Photo Inspiration

Hello friends of Time Out. Welcome back! If you are a newcomer to Time Out, we extend a very warm welcome to you. We're glad you are here.

We have a new, super fun challenge for you that opens today and runs through October 23rd. This time it is a photo inspiration challenge but you can also use it as a coffee themed challenge. The photo was taken by our Blog Owner, Nonni Niskanen, when she visited New York City in 2023. The sign was outside a coffee shop and we thought it was really funny, and the second thought was that it would be a great photo inspiration challenge at Time Out. So here we are.

Challenge #274

This enlargement will help you to see some detail:

You could creat something coffee themed. You could also be inspired by some elements in the photo AND coffee. There are details in the photo that may inspire you like the easel, blackboard, cityscape. street, sidewalk, outdoor dining... and do you see the safety come in the background on the right?? Let your imagination guide you. Our Guest Designer and Design Team had some brilliant inspiration to share. Check out their projects below.

Our wonderful sponsor is Newton's Nook generously offering a $25 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We welcome Heidi Kunkel of Heidi´s kreative Seite
 and winner of Time Out #269 as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Heidi's cards are full of wonderful detail, fabulous coloring, lovely layers and marvelous creativity. Do treat yourself to a stroll though Heidi's blog where you can't help but be inspired.

Heidi tells us a bit about herself and her crafting journey:

"Hello lovelies, my name is Heidi and I live in a small town near Bremen in Germany. Since my childhood I have been creative and have done a lot of handicrafts and painting...in my youth I knitted and crocheted a lot...at some point I also started with Hardanger...I started designing cards in 2006 and stamping in 2010. I love designing cards or small sets with a card and gift wrap, preferably personalised for the recipient, with the date of the occasion and the recipient's name. It can be both cute and non-cute cards... The design is the first fun and the second is the smile and joy of the recipient."

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

And now for some inspiration from our design team!
