Time Out #242

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out and we want you to be inspired by these words: "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." ~ Albert Einstein.

I knew I was going to have to think outside the box to come up with a card for this challenge.  And I think I succeeded.


Using Altenew's Tall Tales, I stamped the bookshelf and colored it with artist markers.  Then I hand wrote the titles of some favorite fairy tales on the jackets. The sentiment from the set is exactly right.  I still remember most of these beloved stories. 

We are welcoming Kim Heggins as our guest designer this week.  She and the rest of the team have some wonderful inspiration for you on the blog and we hope you join in the challenge.

Our sponsor is AALL and Create.  They have offered a $20 store credit to our winning card designer., who will also be asked to guest on a future challenge.

See you in the gallery.
