As part of my mad dash of challenges (yep, I still haven't shared them all!) I decided to combine the current
10 Minute Craft Dash with the sketch from
Seize the Birthday. I thought that would make it easier to complete my card in 10 minutes...but here's the thing. Usually I would glance at the clock at the beginning & end of creating, but I figured out how to use the stopwatch on my MP3 player. I didn't even know it had such a thing! (I didn't know it had a 'record' function either...there is a 6.5 hour recording with about 30 minutes of chatter, and hours of my husband snoring. lol!) Having the stopwatch going in my line of sight? I dropped everything I picked up. I'm putting it somewhere else next time!
Supplies: yellow paper from Stampin' Up; green from MME; velvet ribbon from Webster's Pages; sentiment from Annabelle Stamps; floral & butterfly stamps from Inkadinkado; Gray Flannel Memento ink; Mustard Seed, Bundled Sage, & Milled Lavender distress inks; brads from stash
Although I had all my supplies set out before the timer started, I forgot about the two circular elements of the sketch until the rest of the card was assembled. And, I mis-applied the foam adhesive so that part of the panel is bulgy. Gah. But it was less than 10 minutes, darn it. I can try again :)
xoxo,
Jessi

Fab stamping Jessi! So glad you joined in the fun with 10 Minute Craft Dash - hope to see you again soon :)
wow gorgeous card..
Less than ten minutes for this card? I'm impressed -- it's great! I've decided I don't really like the time pressure. :D
LOL You're so fun! A 10 minute dash would have put me in a panic attack! You ended up with a mighty pretty little card!
This is soooo pretty! Absolutely love it. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday.
Bright and beautiful! LOVE IT! And to think you created it in less than 10 minutes - awesome!

I so love your card, Jessi! What a fabulous use of the colors & the sketch--can't believe you could do it in under 10--wow!
I still think it's really impressive that you are able to create in ten minutes, but I would also go crazy looking at the timer, ha ha! But your card is so pretty!! And the two circles really finish it!! Fab!!
Hugs, Wendy
Congrats on finishing the card in under 10 minutes. Great card combining the two challenges.
Really pretty..and under 10 minutes..wow. I would never make it..haha. Thanks for joining us this week at Seize the Birthday.
Less than 10? Impressive!!
I love the stamping in the same colour as the paper!
Cool! That you managed to make this in less than 10 min, Jessi! Isn't new the technology complicated or am I too back-dated?
Isn't the 10 minute challenge a blast, and your card is wonderful Jessi, I'm hoping to find that spare 10 minutes myself this week... it aint looking good lol.
Your card turned out so pretty!
I still haven't dared to try a 10 minute challenge. Waaaay too stressful! Love your card though. The soft colours are gorgeous and I love the yellow sunshine paper!
Oh, my gosh--this looks SO time-consuming!!! What a totally awesoe under 10 min creation. LOVE your creative vision, Jessi!
Beautiful card, Jessi! I really like the stamping on the cardstock :)
Thanks for playing along in the 10 Minute Craft Dash! I hope you'll join us again soon :)
I couldn't craft with a clock ticking down in my view either!!
Kudos to you for not only doing it but making a pretty card too...love the tone on tone stamping, so summery :0)

Oh, I love how soft and pretty it is! You're right, once there's a clock watching you, the shakes set in! *wink*
