Challenge #257 - Time Out 10th Birthday!

Hello and welcome, Friends of Time Out. Today we begin a new and special challenge with which we celebrate our 10th birthday! Woot! Woot!! 

Time Out Challenges was born in 2014 of an online friendship between Sandie Munro of London Days and Nonni Niskanen of Nonni's Handmade Cards. Both their friendship and the challenge has stood the test of time. Sandie was the Lead Admin from 2014 to 2021. Unfortunately, circumstances were such that Sandie had to step down in 2021, but she still keeps a fond and supportive eye on this challenge which remains very close to her heart.  Nonni and Stephanie took over as Co-Lead Admins following Sandie's departure.  The challenge is now run in a style that includes many of the Design Team members playing a role in the administration from choosing themes, to creating the challenge badges and the posts, to working with sponsors, etc. The list goes on. It takes a village, and our close-knit group of crafters keep it running strong and smoothly with a lot of heart.

So Happy Birthday, Time Out! Thank you, Sandie and Nonni. Thank you to all the Design Team members, current and past! You are the core of what we do. And thank you to all of our wonderful participants and generous sponsors who give us our reason to be. We are grateful for your sharing the joy of creativity with us over the years.

We celebrate with a birthday theme as our inspiration. We have 10 benevolent sponsors providing 11 fabulous prizes. We will have one challenge winner chosen by the Design Team who will receive a $25.00 Lawn Fawn Store Credit. Ten additional winners will be chosen at random to receive the prizes in the order of their listing.

And now, without further ado, let the game begin!! May the odds be ever in your favor for the win! Please check our challenge rules on our sidebar. In order to qualify for the win, honorable mention and/or a prize, you may link your project to a total of five including ours.
