Challenge #187 and a Goodbye!

 Hello our crafty Friends,

Time for our new challenge but before we tell you all about that we have some news for you:

Sandie our team leader is having to step down-she explains in her own words why:

Hello to you all.

I have been running Time Out for over 7 years now but as most of you know I struggle with my health. Over the last year my health has deteriorated and I can no longer run Time Out to standard I would like and although I have been trying to, it is my health that has suffered.

So now it is time to take Time Out and step down completely.

I will no longer be running Time Out or be on the DT.

BUT Time Out will continue with a group of the DT taking on various roles, of which they will share with you over the next few weeks.

Before I go I wanted to thank you all for playing with us with so much enthusiasm and I have loved visiting your blogs which have always inspired me.

And a huge thank you to my wonderful DT, both past and present, who have not only made superb cards but also many have helped so much behind the scenes and supported me-thank you guys x

And finally a thank you to all our wonderful Sponsors, your generosity and support have been appreciated so much.

So with a heavy heart my friends, this is my last challenge. Time Out will continue on....I have planned the rest of this year so I want to see you all still taking Time Out and crafting with the new Time Out !! 

And now back to our challenge:

 


This challenge you are being inspired to MOVE, there are so many possiblities with this one! 
From moving a house to riding a bike!

Our fabulous sponsor it TopFlight Stamps - be sure to check out their site for lots and lots of fabulous stamps!

    Aww Sandie, you will be sorely missed at Timeout. I remember you starting this challenge back in 2014.
    Take care of your health, and a big thank you for running the challenge for all these years.
    I will miss seeing you on Timeout.
    Best wishes to you....hugs - Rahmat

    Oh Sandie, hope you are ok - have always loved taking part in TO and being GD on the odd occasion! Hope your health has a much needed boost this year and that we get to still see your wonderful cards. Have always appreciated how much effort must go on behind the scenes with these challenges...thank you for all your inspiration over the last 7 years! x

    Sandie, you have done so much to bring joy to our papercrafting community through this challenge and your encouraging words. I pray this time of transition will be an opportunity for you to remove some stress....and that this will also help your health issues. Blessings to you and many thanks for everything. Thank you for the added work you did to make the transition easy for your DT. Sending hugs.
