Challenge #314

 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 June 10. This time it is an Inspired By challenge challenge and it is... Inspired by A Favourite Beverage. This is a fun and easy one. Think coffee, tea, chocolate milk, hot chocolate, champagne, cocktail, mocktail, water... the list goes on and on. If you don't have a particular favorite, choose any beverage. As long as you can drink it, it belongs here. If it is not obvious, please be sure to let us know what beverage you chose in your post.

Challenge #314



We are sponsored by our own Design Team Member, Carol McFarland. Carol has donated this very fun hand made beverage bag as the prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also be invited to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge



We are joined by Joanne James of The Crafty Owl, and winner of Time Out #309 as Guest Designer.  Joanne is a very talented crafter and a frequent player at Time Out. We are very excited to have her with us as Guest Designer for this challenge.

Here is a little bit about Joanne and her crafting journey in her own words:

"Hi, I'm Joanne James also known by my blog alter ego, The Crafty Owl. I live in Northampton in the UK. I love chocolate, running, traveling and all things Disney (not necessarily in that order!). Whilst I've always been creative enjoying drawing, calligraphy and cross stitch since I was young, I discovered rubber stamping and card making about 15 years ago and haven't looked back. I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator as a means to fund my new hobby and share my passion and creativity with others. I've run many classes, retreats and events over the years and now I craft for my own enjoyment and pleasure. I am thrilled to have been asked to guest with the talented team at Time Out for this challenge - thank you!"

This is Joanne's wonderful Challenge Card. Love the gold detail on her tea cup and the way the die cut flowers match the patterned paper. What a great card for a tea lover! You can check out all the details HERE.




And now for some inspiration from our design team!
