It's Time for a new challenge at Time Out. This time, we are inspired by the words: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
To me, this quote speaks of not wasting time with regret. If you didn't do it before, it's never too late to do it now. With Inspired By Words challenges, you can interpret the quote, or choose words or images for inspiration like "tree" or "plant"... it's up to you. The canvas is yours.
We are generously sponsored by Varada Sharma. There will be 2 challenge winners - one drawn at random, and one chosen by the Time Out Design Team. Each will get a $15.00 gift voucher to spend at Varada Sharma's store. Our winner chosen by the Design Team will also be invited to Guest Design with us for a future challenge.
We welcome Jennifer K Elliot of LIVE.CRAFT.REPEAT and kraftercises on Instagram as our Guest Designer. Jennifer is a very talented crafter who uses lots of critters in her designs, has fab coloring skills, and loves to play challenges. Click the links above to visit her blog or Instagram. You are sure to be inspired!
Our quote immediately brought the wonderful tree image from the March 2021 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit to mind. I had not yet inked it up (shame on me), so it was a carpe diem opportunity. I thought the sentiment (from the same kit) worked perfectly with the words.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that Jennifer and our Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!

What a wonderfully vibrant tree Stephanie! And your white embossed on black sentiment picks up the scalloped frame perfectly! And I love how it's tucked under the frame on one side and bursting out of that gorgeous blended background in other directions! WOW! Hugs, Kate!
