Challenge #297

 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 September 24. This time it is an Inspired By Challenge and it is... Inspired by 

Your Favorite Season

Our wonderful sponsor, Waffle Flower Crafts is 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 Darnell Knauss of djkardkreations, and winner of Time Out #292 as Guest Designer. Darnell is well known in our crafting community as a wonderful card maker, but also for her wit, her stories, her kindness and her encouragement for all of us to use our NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff. If you don't know Darnell, do check out her blog and get ready to be inspired and have a belly laugh or two. Here's a little bit about Darnell in her own words:

"I have been stamping and making cards since 2002, thanks to that one time I tagged along with a friend to a Stampin' Up party! I've been married 54 years to Kevin, known affectionately as "The Mister." (Yes, I'm old. Some people prefer to use the word 'mature,' but I prefer to be immature!) For instance, I'm delighted to have two imaginary hamsters named Hammy and Stanley who help me with my crafting! Card-making and blogging are wonderful hobbies which have brought me noodles of friends and pen pals from all over the world! Besides my blog, I run the NBUS Challenge where I challenge you (and myself) to use our never-before-used-schtuff and I'm so gratified that it is supported and loved by many."

This is Darnell's wonderful Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE. 

And now for some inspiration from our design team!
