LOVE & Challenges

Hi, I hope your having a great Valentine's day.  I had some time while my toddler was having his nap today so I thought I would make a card and attempt the Pretty Pink Posh, 10 minute craft dash for the first time.  I am a VERY slow crafter so this was definitely going to be a challenge for me, but I made it!  Lucky my card is made up of a lot of die cuts!  My time was 9 minutes and 23 seconds,  I wanted to keep moving things about but with the time restraint it made me leave it alone :)  




I am also going to put this card in the 'Red' CASology Challenge and the CAS on Sunday Challenge 'Be my Valentine'.




Thanks for stopping by, and for those with partners I hope you have a nice romantic evening :)

      Thanks Lisa, I must say it wasn't easy. I was quite nervous about it which sound silly. I felt really good when I made it though :)

    If this only took you that little of time Tracy.... I am very impressed! It seems the simpler the card the longer they take me. This is beautiful! So glad you joined us @ CAS on Sunday! Please join us again!

      Thanks Nancy, if I hadn't done a sketch and organised myself first there would be no way I would have made it. Felt great when I finished I must say. Thanks for your kind comments :)

    I think this card looks perfect as it is! It's hard to believe you managed to do it in under 10 minutes - impressed! I am the worlds' slowest crafter - there is no way I could've made anything this awesome in that time! :)

      Thank you. I'm sure you could Sian, I thought the same but you just need to plan your card first which is not something I do normally. It was very nerve racking having to watch the time but in the end I really enjoyed it!

    I like the CAS design and the cluster of layered die cuts looks fab. The color combination is very striking! I hear you on the slow crafting, but you did an amazing job!

      Thanks Jocelyn, having to do it in a certain time really made me plan first which made it easier, but it really took me out of my comfort zone. :)
