Challenge #277 - IBW "There truly is not an occasion that is not improved by wearing something festive"

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 that opens today and runs through December 4th. This time it is an "Inspried By Words" Challenge which means that we are challenged to create a card that is inspired by the words in this quote: "There is truly not an occasion that is not improved by wearing something festive."

Challenge #277

You can use the whole quote or parts of it to inspire your creation. For example, you can use the word "festive"; or "occasion"; or the words "wearing something festive", etc. You must use something in the quote as your inspiration. In your post, please tell us how the quote inspired you.

Our wonderful sponsor is Top Flight Stamps with a generous offer of a $25.00 store credit as the prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Tenia Nelson of Jazzy Paper Designs, and winner of Time Out #272 as Guest Designer.

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

And now for some inspiration from our design team!

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!
