You Are The Zest


There's a new challenge at Time Out. This time it is a Photo inspiration Challenge. 


This photo enlargement will help you see the details.

With our photo Inspiration challenges you can take inspiration from the entire picture, or just pick one or a few things as your starting point. For example you can pick "fruit" or "hearts" for your inspiration, or "grapes" and make it about grapes and cheese or wine, or choose an "apple" and make it about going back to school... Whatever your choice, please tell us in your post, how you were inspired by the photo.

Our wonderful sponsor is Graciellie Design with a generous prize of a $25.00 store credit for our challenge winner.


We extend a very warm welcome to Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts and winner of Time Out #265, as Guest Designer for this challenge. Stef is such a talented paper crafter with mad coloring skills, and a delightful person too. We are so happy to have her with us for this challenge. Check out Stef's blog for some sheer delight and serious inspiration.

The photo inspired me to create a card simply using fruit. I chose lemons. I combined products from Altenew, Penny Black and STAMPlorations for my project. See the supplies I used below in Project Details.

 Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Stef and the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us!
