It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #240 is a theme challenge where we are challenged to be "sportive". I must say, that I had never heard of this word before, and so I had to Google to find a definition. It's a little hard to read on our badge, so here it is:
spor·tive1
adjective
- 1.playful; lighthearted."Sir John was in sportive mood"
- 2.relating to, interested in, or good at sport."Britain's architectural and sportive heritage"
This offers us a lot of creative opportunity!
We are generously sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs. Winner will receive a $25 store credit and an invitation to Guest Design with Time Out for a future challenge.
We are joined by Carol McFarland of Saw it. Had to Make It. Carol is a very talented maker with such a great eye for color and design. I love Carol's work and am always inspired by it. Please treat yourself to a stroll through her blog and you will surely be inspired too!
I used Newton's Summer Treats stamps & Dies for my card. Newton is so playful, lively and spirited in whatever Newton does. I gave Newton a popsicle theme, but honestly, it's a bit too busy for my liking. I think the pop would have popped if I used a color for the background. Blue perhaps? I ran out of time so I went with it... Maybe I will make it again.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that the Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!
