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 October 14th. This time it is a "Pick 2" challenge. The idea of this challenge is very simple: we give you 6 word prompts and you pick at least 2 for your project! To be clear, you can pick more than 2 or all 6 if you really want to stretch yourself, but you only must choose 2!
The prompts for Challenge #323 are:
Harvest, basket, gingham, circle, baking and apple.
In your post, please mention which words you have chosen and how they inspired you!
Our wonderful sponsor, Lawn Fawn, 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 Cathy Preissing of MARKERS, INK & PAPER, and winner of Time Out #317 as Guest Designer. Cathy is a very talented crafter with a great eye for design and who has mad coloring skills! Take a stroll through her blog for some wonderful inspiration. Here are some words from Cathy about her crafting journey:
"I’m a lifelong crafter who has tried my hand at just about everything—from sewing and soft sculpture dolls to basket making and jewelry. In 2009, my sister-in-law introduced me to card-making, and I’ve been hooked ever since!
I started blogging in 2011 and have had the pleasure of being part of several design teams over the years. My passion for Copic Markers has recently been joined by a new love: layering stencils!
Five years ago, I retired from a career in education, and having an extra room and plenty of time has transformed my crafting life. I’ve gone from creating at the kitchen table to happily spending hours in my craft room—my favorite place to be!
A big thank-you to the Time Out Challenges team for inviting me to be a guest designer. I’m thrilled to be joining you and can’t wait to share some crafty inspiration!"
