It's time for a new challenge at Time Out, our last challenge of 2025. The Design Team is taking a well deserved break for the Holidays, and we will back with our first challenge of 2026 on January 4. Our winners post for Challenge #302 will be on December 18th, and for #303 will be on December 25th. We wish you a Merry Christmas, Holiday Blessings for whatever you celebrate, and a Happy New Year.
We have a Photo Inspiration this time around with a festive photo from India to stimulate your creativity. The enlargement below will make it easier to see the detail in the photo.

We are sponsored by Birch Press Design with a Store Credit of $20.00 for our Challenge Winner as chosen by the Design Team.
We are joined by Trina Pham of Phamtastic Design, and winner of Time Out #298 as Guest Designer. You can see Trina's fantastic card on the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can link to her nlog and leave her some love.
This photo is so festive and it was fun to come up with a project inspired by it. For my card, I focused on the ethnic wear worn by the woman on the far left. I used the colors of mauve, sage, cream and gold for my project with the supplies shown below.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Trina and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. Come play with us! We would be so happy to see your project in our gallery. Please be sure to mention how the photo inspired your your design in your post. I can't wait to see what you create!
