Challenge #180

 Hello Crafty friends!

Time for our new challenge and it is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge and our words are:

You can use any of these words or the whole phrase to inspire you. There are so many words to choose from here we know we will have trouble choosing one...so why not a few or make lots of cards, using lots of the words-here at Time Out, we like to see how many ways you can interpret our challenges!

This challenge is sponsored by our long time sponsors Newton's Nook Designs.

We love their store and the winner will get $25 gift voucher to spend there!!

Our Guest Designer is the very creative Bobby. Bobby has played at Time Out right from when we started and we have loved everyone of her entries. Her creativity blooms with every card and her blog is fun and a delight to visit. Pop on over here and you will love what you see!

Welcome Bobby, so great to have you join us.

Now let's see what Bobby and our amazing Design Team have made to inspire us:

Zoom Fun Winner!

 Hello Crafty Friends!

To enter our current challenge click here

But today we are here to announce the winner of our Zoom fun post.

We asked who of the DT were related and most of you got it!

Lynn's Mum and my (Sandie) Dad are siblings born in Scotland. Which obviously means Lynn and myself are first cousins although Lynn is in America and I am in England!

Lynn's Mum went to US when she was young met her love and married him and settled in America!

So we are ponds apart but have a very close relationship which has grown through our joy of crafting.

I did a random drawer from all our entries and the winner is:

Janis

Congrats Janis.

I have a goodies bag for you!

Please contact me, within one week, at sandiesandie16@gmail.com to claim your prize-please include your full name and address.

Thank you to everyone you played along with us and I hope you all have a fun crafty weekend.
