Time Out Challenges #47

Hello All,

Welcome to the first Time Out Challenge of 2016.

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and got some crafty time!

This year we are going to follow the same format as last year with one exception:

All our Theme Challenges will have an optional Technique Twist.

We know you are not all fans of techniques and this is why it is optional. However if you do wish to twist with us you will have chance of winning a randomly chosen prize.

Now for our first Theme challenge:

Birthdays with the optional Technique Twist of adding sponging.

If you do want to twist with us by adding sponging (just a little or lots-we don't mind) you have the chance of winning a £15 evoucher from our fabulous sponsor Uniko. We know so many of you love Uniko goodies. Take a look at their store here.

Bev the designer and owner of Uniko is joining us today with a fabulous card showcasing her wonderful stamps.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very creative Rema. She is a regular player at Time Out and won one of our our last challenges in 2015. We are so very excited she agreed to join us for our first challenge this year. Take a look at her blog Paper Panache. It is full of inspiring projects.

Now lets see what Rema, Bev and our DT have created to inspire you to join us:

It is a New Year, so why not take a quick look at our 'How to Play' section on the right hand side bar. Also you will see our 'Challenge Schedule' on the right hand side bar.

This challenge runs until the 20th Jan 5pm GMT.

Time to kick back and take some TIME OUT to craft and play along with us.

Welcome again to 2016, we are looking forward to taking TIME OUT with you all xx
