Challenge #313

Hello, friends of Time Out! Welcome back! And if you are new to Time Out Challenges, we extend a very warm welcome to you — we’re so glad you’re here.

Our newest challenge begins today and runs through May 27. This time around, we have a theme challenge:
Playing Music

There are so many ways you can interpret this theme! You might be inspired by playing an instrument, listening to the radio or recorded music, singing, sheet music, a favorite song, or even music from a film — anything connected to music is welcome.

Whatever inspires your project, please be sure to tell us about it in your post. We can’t wait to see what you create!


Our wonderful sponsor,  Gina K Designs, is generously offering a $25.00 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 Cindy Chiu of Escape To Stamping as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Cindy's project received Honorable Mention for Time Out #308 and we were so happy that she was willing and able to join us as Guest Designer for this challenge.

This is what Cindy has to say about her crafting journey:

"Hello, my name is Cindy Chiu.  I am a transplanter from Hong Kong, and have been living in Montreal, Canada for over 50 years.  Before I retired, I was a programmer/system analyst working in field of pulp and paper industry.  I stumbled across Rubber Stamping while shopping for a gift 30 years ago, and I fell into that rabbit hole ever since.  In beginning I was only making Christmas cards, life was busy with a full time job and 2 young children.  But now I have more time to make cards for multiple occasions and have ventured into art journaling too.  My dear hubby is my biggest fan!  I have to admit I am addicted to this wonderful hobby!  Thank you Time Out Challenges for inviting me to the Guest Designer for this challenge."

This is Cindy's fabulous Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE, and while you are visiting, leave her some love.
