10 minutes of flamingo fun

Pin It

My gosh, I'm having one heck of a time getting in sync with Bloggers new interface! It's driving me insane :(  I want my old one back (insert hands on hips and stomping of one foot)! Glad I'm not alone in this boat...it made me feel soooo much better the other day reading your sweet comments! Thank you!!

 

I wanted to pop in today with a special little post. Have you heard of the wonderful little challenge our very own sweet Paulina and her friend have created for her blog? She calls it the 10 minute craft dash, but I loving refer to it as 10 minutes of panic (hehehe). Had I not made a few, I would have NEVER believed it could be done...but yes, you CAN create a lovely little card in 10 minutes! Now, if only I cold apply this in other areas of my life....

 

My creations for this challenge have thus so far been fairly CAS. This time around I wanted to try for something a little more fussy and "my style". As usual, I came up with a plan / doodled drawing of what I wanted. I made sure to pull out all of my supplies (unlike last time :S) so they would be handy. My cardstock wasn't precut with the exception to the dry embossed piece of pink. It was cut a little larger than what you see here and already embossed but not edge punched yet (left over in my scrap pile). I had a plain sheet of pink out also...just wasn't sure which I was going to like better.  In my first picture my clouds almost have a little bluish tint, however, I stamped them in white ink then using my Quickie Glue pen, added X-fine iridescent glitter. I also wanted to add a button with a little twine knot but spent so much time fussing with my bow  I knew I wouldn't have time to thread the twine, tie it and attach the whole thing properly. Now that the challenge is complete I'm going to go back and add my little yellow button. I will say that I did panic just a little and am REALLY surprised at my coloring job cause boy did I just throw that color on, lol!

My ending time: 9 minutes 15 seconds (Whew, that was pretty close!). I'm pretty dang proud of myself :)

Can you EVER go wrong with a flamingo!?!?!?!
