Hello friends of Time Out. Welcome back, and we extend a very warm welcome to newcomers to Time Out Challenges!
We are here with our final challenge of 2024 and with warm wishes for a wonderful holiday season, whatever that may look like to you and yours. Happy New Year to all, and may 2025 bring lots of love and light to your life. For those who may be struggling at this time, may the light of the season bring warmth and love and peace into your home and your heart with hope for the year ahead.
We bid a fond farewell to Greta, who is stepping down from her Design Team position at Time Out with this challenge. We are sad to see her go, but this is what is best for her, and that is most important to us. Greta is such a kind and wonderful person, and a fabulous cart artist. We will miss her, but she will still be present in the cardmaking world, and we look forward to seeing her creations in our community and hopefully she will take Time Out to join us in our gallery when she is inspired and able to do so.
Time Out Challenge #278 opens today and runs through December 18th. This time it is a Photo Inspiration Challenge in celebration of all December Holidays around the world. You can use all or anything from the photo, or you can create anything that depicts a/the holiday that you celebrate at this time of year. Please tell us about your holiday in your post if it is not obvious in your creation.
Look for our Winners Post on December 26th. Our first challenge of 2025 will go live on January 2, 2025.

We are joined by Verena Shapiro of simple_stamper on Instagram, and winner of Time Out #273 as Guest Designer. Verena's cards are wonderful, simple and clever. Treat yourself to a stroll through her Instagram for some fabulous inspiration.
Here is a little bit about Verena in her own words:
"Hi! My name is Verena, and I live in Ottawa, Canada. I originally started papercrafting about 20 years ago, but as a mom of three life got too busy, and I never fully got into it. During Covid I suddenly had all this spare time available, so I decided to give cardmaking another try. Well, I haven't been able to stop since! I tend to lean towards clean and simple cards. My life can be pretty chaotic, and there's just something incredibly calming about clean lines and white space. I absolutely love card challenges. They push me out of my comfort zone and make me look at my stash differently. Thank you everyone at
Time Out for the wonderful inspiration you all always provide!"
THIS is Verena's fabulous make for our challenge.
And now for some inspiration from our design team!
