Challenge #280 - Inspired By: Your favorite things to do in January

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 January 29. It is an "Inspired By" challenge which is a new challenge in our rotation. With each of our "Inspired By" challenges this year, the challenge title will be "Inspired by your favorite...". This time we want you to be inspired by one or more of your favorite things to do in January and to reflect it in your project. 

Think about an activity you enjoy where you live: a sport, beverage, hobby, place to go, things to read, music to play... It can also be someplace you like to travel to for something you can't do where you live... For example, our southern hemisphere players might wish to go skiing in the Alps and our northern hemisphere players may want to go lie on a beach in the Caribbean... you get the picture. Please be sure to explain your choice in your post.

Challenge #280



Our wonderful sponsor, Lawn Fawnis generously offering a $25 store credit as a 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 Verena Shapiro of simple_stamper on Instagram, and winner of Time Out #275 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. She loves to start the new year with a bang and good intentions. Please visit her on Instagram for details.




And now for some inspiration from our design team!
