We are joined by Margreet Burger of Margreet's scrapcards, and winner of Time Out #297 as Guest Designer.

Here is a little bit about Margreet and her crafting journey in her own words:

"My name is Margreet and I live in the Netherlands.

I have been crafting and cardmaking as long as I can remember. Since 2009 I have my blog Margreet's scrapcards.  I love blogland as it has brought me blogfriends from all over the world.

I am retired since 2016 and you can find me daily in my craftroom. I love playing along with challenges and I have been a member of various Design Teams.

At the moment I am a big fan of Tracy Evans, as you can see at my card. I love making Christmas cards, so I have plenty of them at the end of the year (I also make them for my mother, my daughter and my best friend).

Enjoy this challenge!

Warm thoughts from Margreet"

This is Margreet's wonderful Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE. 

Margreet picked Nature, White, Corner and Sparkle to use in her design.

And now for some inspiration from our design team!

Stef is a wonderfully talented crafter who is a frequent player at Time Out. Her creations are always guaranteed to be delightful! We are so pleased to have her with us as Guest Designer once again. Do yourself a favor and take a stroll through her blog. You are sure to be inspired by her work.

Here is what Stef has to say about her paper crafting journey:

"What started as a part-time hobby making cards back in 2007 has become a full-time obsession! My style has morphed from shabby chic back in the early years to more clean and layered, with a smattering of CAS and also Mixed Media, because sometimes I just love to get inky and messy.  I'm currently on three design teams and am very grateful for how the card/crafting community brings us together.  Thank you for asking me to be a Guest Designer! "

This is Stef's wonderful Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE.

We are joined by Verena Shapiro of Simple Stamper on Instagram, and winner of Time Out #294 as Guest Designer. Here are a few words from Verena about her crafting journey:

"Hi! My name is Verena, and I live in Ottawa, Canada. I originally started paper crafting about 20 years ago, but as a mom of three life got too busy to fully get into it. Now, as I have more time again, I'm fully embracing card challenges as they push me out of my comfort zone and make me look at my stash differently. I tend to lean towards clean and simple cards. Life can be pretty chaotic, and there's just something incredibly calming about clean lines and white space. Thank you everyone at Time Out for the wonderful inspiration you always provide!"

This is Verena's wonderful Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE.
