Challenge #285 - Inspired By Your Favorite Movie

 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 April 9th. This time it is an 'Inspired By" Challenge where we are asking you to create a card that is inspired by Your Favorite Movie. Please include the name of the movie by which your project was inspired in your post.



Our wonderful sponsor is Claire Brennan of Claire Brennan Design & Illustration and former owner of Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Our Challenge winner will receive Claire's Mid Mod City 4x8 Clear Stamp Set as a prize and an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.


We are joined by Ginger Williams of Andora's Stamping Studio, and winner of Time Out #280 as Guest Designer. Ginger's blog is full of creative projects, many with instructional videos.

Here is what Ginger has to say about her crafting journey and her project for this challenge:
"I have dedicated myself to the art of crafting since 1998. My creativity and passion have led me to explore various hobbies, including scrapbooking, card making, paper crafting, cross stitch, loom knitting, gardening, and canning. Each of these reflect my love for creating and sharing beautiful and meaningful items.

Always eager for new challenges, I continually seek opportunities to expand my crafting repertoire and inspire others. I started my own YouTube channel as a platform to share my extensive knowledge and experience with a wider audience. Through my videos, I aim to help others learn about the crafting process and provide inspiration to spread joy to others.

My commitment to spreading joy through my crafting is a driving force in my life. I hope to encourage others to embrace their creative talents and to share happiness through their crafts.

Whether it's through a handmade card, a beautifully crafted scrapbook, or a thoughtful cross-stitch project, my creations are a source of delight and inspiration. My journey in crafting continues, fueled by my passion and dedication, and my mission to spread joy remains at the heart of everything I do.

One of  favorite movies is Julie & Julia. Julie has a boring job, which is so relatable. She loves the inspiration of trying every recipe in Julia Childs' landmark cookbook, 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking.' My love of Pyrex combined with the love of cooking pair so well for the inspiration of this project."

Ginger created two Challenge Cards inspired by her favorite movie; Julie & Julia. Check out all the details HERE.
